10 Awesome Fan Theories About The Future Of The MCU

"Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist."

There's a reason the screenwriters chose to lead with that descriptive term. Tony is arguably the most brilliant mind in the entire MCU, capable of constructing the very first Iron Man suit with limited resources, as well as crafting ingenious devices like Veronica, the Hulkbuster and the remote-control Iron Man armour.

So, imagine you're passionate about science and machinery, about building things and making gadgets - what would run through your mind if you were introduced to Star-Lord's pocket helmet, that can quickly change size and encase the user's head?

Reddit user D-Speak predicts that the technology behind Star-Lord's helmet will be used by Tony to create his Bleeding Edge armour, a suit that is literally stored inside the user's body until mentally activated, causing it to spring into shape, using nano-machines to construct the Iron Man armour around the wearer.

We know for a fact that Tony and Peter Quill will be appearing in Avengers: Infinity War, so this theory is already off to a great start. The helmet would undoubtedly catch Tony's eye if he saw it in action, and it is likely he'd want to gain more information about it.

Plus, for the last few movies, Tony's been something of a nervous wreck. He's scared; he wants to protect the world, and himself (which led to the unfortunate creation of Ultron), so if he saw that a piece of kit as powerful as this even existed, he'd surely want to use the technology to his advantage.
