Is Tony Stark's Genius Realistic?

Why does that make him almost as smart as his Dad?

Because his dad did the harder part: making the prediction. All Tony had to do was read a schematic and follow directions.

And are you saying he didn't create that element or are you just playing semantic tag?

It is fair to say that Tony created it, but you gloss over how and I think that's important.

At worst it was a collaboration in my opinion.
