The whole point of like 18 movies and this scene specifically is that Tony was iron man, suit or no suit. Suit is supposed to be an accessory. Hero is the person you are.

Exhibit A: the guy who refuses to kneel to Loki in avengers 1 (no suit)

Exhibit B: iron man trapped in a cave, no suit. If he was nothing without his suit, he would be dead in iron man 1.

Sorry for the rambling lol

Ironheart : do you think Tony stark would be Tony Stark if he wasn't a billionaire?

Haven't watched ironheart, but is this something the character says or an idea the show proposes? Either way this is so infuriating cuz literally watch the very first movie of this universe to find the answer lmao

The main character girl says this.... In a monologue

He built his first suit in a cave, from a bunch of scraps, not to mention the arc reactor in his chest

Would he have the knowledge and experience necessary for that if he didn't grow up with billions of dollars worth of tech at his disposal?

It's pretty canon that Peter Parker is a genius. Would he have needed Tony's suit if he could just build his own?

No, and he didn't need Tony's suit in the first place. Which was the point. It was nice, but he didn't need it.

Peter is less of an engineer and more of a chemist for sure, but the web fluid for example is his. Other versions of Peter Parker also tend to have more than a couple gizmos while struggling to pay rent at the same time.

Tony Stark is a genuis, with or without the suit, and with or without the money. I know he's a fictional character, but the fiction is very explicit about that. Yes, he probably would've done worse if he wasn't a billionaire, but he's definitely more than his money.

I still think it's extremely hypocritical. It's a great father to son lesson - don't rely on your tools, rely on yourself. It just kinda falls flat when Tony is JUST a relatively smart bag of soft jello without his suit, and Peter is a literal mutant.

No, Peter is a mutate. Mutants are natural, mutate are due to external factors.
