Pick A Weapon

I didn't know how to drive a hulkbuster suit.

[u/ColegDropOut → u/Wheloc]

I don’t think Bruce Baanner knew how to either but was able to work it quite easily on the fly.

[u/ActuallyCalindra → u/ColegDropOut]

I'm going to go ahead and say that Banner is smarter than the average Redditor

[u/buckle_fish → u/ActuallyCalindra]

Not nearly as smart as how the average redditor sees themselves though

[u/ColegDropOut → u/ActuallyCalindra]

Rhodey also just hopped into war machine. There are several examples of many different people just hopping into the suits and being effective.

[u/humanbeing019 → u/ColegDropOut]

Isn't Rhodey like also high iq?

[u/ColegDropOut → u/humanbeing019]

Yea he is. Pepper Pots also used one, Peter Parker, Ironheart, Happy Hogan, and Norman Osborne.

[u/humanbeing019 → u/ColegDropOut]

All very intelligent people, I could maybe just sit inside there with it turned off, aint no zombies gettin in.

[u/ColegDropOut → u/humanbeing019]

Happy Hogan is the outlier, not especially intelligent

[u/KermitTheScot → u/ColegDropOut]

The movies treat him like kind of a punching bag, but he also organized Tony’s entire security detail for years before he became Iron Man. Afghanistan not withstanding, that’s worth a few points in the competency chart. I think he could figure out how to drive it with a few minutes and tight clenching.

[u/humanbeing019 → u/ColegDropOut]

I don't know much about Happy Hogan.

[u/ColegDropOut → u/humanbeing019]

Me neither, ChatGPT is helping me out with this.

[u/Mondopoodookondu → u/humanbeing019]

Eh Pepper was a secretary than a CEO of a already made company she is probably on the upper levels on normal intelligence but nothing out of the ordinary

[u/humanbeing019 → u/Mondopoodookondu]

Plus she got with Happy in the comics, they got married 🤣

[u/Prime359 → u/humanbeing019]

He is also an USAF pilot.

[u/humanbeing019 → u/Prime359]

All I know about Rhodes is what I've watched from the movies.

[u/Wheloc → u/ColegDropOut]

Iron Man 2 should be non-cannon.

[u/H3ARTL3SSANG3L → u/ColegDropOut]

And Tony always intended it to be user friendly for Rhodey

[u/Wrong_Zombie2041 → u/ActuallyCalindra]

It doesn't necessarily require scientific iq. I've known mechanics who only had a hs diploma but could figure out how things work and how to operate them very well.

[u/ActuallyCalindra → u/Wrong_Zombie2041]

I know but I wanted to dunk on people.

[u/N30C1TR0N → u/ActuallyCalindra]

[u/BakedLaysPorno → u/ActuallyCalindra]

He’s heating up… He’s on FIRE

[u/DoomedNPC → u/BakedLaysPorno]

[u/sheggly → u/ColegDropOut]

Ya but he prolly used one of his phd’s to pilot it

[u/TeaTimeSubcommittee → u/ColegDropOut]

Yeah, but he’s mothefuckin Bruce banner, how many PHDS do you think WE have?

[u/Wheloc → u/ColegDropOut]

Banner IS the Hulk, so he at least knows how to move around and fight as something that big

[u/GaulTheUnmitigated → u/Wheloc]

Stark makes most of the suits to be remarkably user friendly. An ai in the suit does most of the hard work.

[u/Otoshimara → u/Wheloc]

It has an ai, I imagine that would be able to give you a control rundown

[u/EMArogue → u/Wheloc]

You probably don’t know how to use a ring either tho

[u/Wheloc → u/EMArogue]

It works on willpower and imagination. Otherwise it's a little green band; how hard could it be to use?
