00:00In Iron Man 2, when Tony defeats Ivan Vanko, he doesn't miss the chance to criticize the design
00:04of the arc reactor created by the villain. But there's an incredible detail that many people
00:17missed. When Tony analyzes Vanko's reactor, its power output is 1.81 gJ per second. That sounds
00:23like a lot, but it's nowhere near what Tony had achieved years earlier. That's because the reactor
00:27he built inside a cave, with nothing but scraps, was capable of generating 3 gigajoules per second.
00:40In other words, guys, even under harsh conditions, Tony Stark's genius had already developed technology
00:45far superior to the villains. This detail highlights Iron Man's brilliance. While everyone else was
00:50trying to copy him, Tony was always several steps ahead. And it's no coincidence that he was able
00:54to evolve his technology to the point where he could go toe-to-toe with Thanos himself.
