Tony Stark Iron Man Just confirmed that he could upgrade a major MCU ally into a god-level hero, but refuses to do so because he doesn’t want the competition. In both the comics and movies, Tony Stark has created custom suits and gadgets for his allies – most notably designing the Iron Spider suit for Peter Parker.

In the past, Tony went out of his way to upgrade his fellow Avengers, from designing the high-tech Iron Spider suit to creating a new shield for Captain America when his original wasn’t available. However, Tony’s gifts tend to come with major strings attached.
