10 Powers You Forgot MCU Characters Had

4. Iron Man - Precise Targeting

Tony Stark is a self proclaimed genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist and his cutting edge technology is displayed for all to see throughout the MCU but there is one particularly useful feature he has seemingly abandoned: the precise targeting system.

In the first Iron Man movie; Stark eliminates members of the terrorist group who captured him on his return to Middle East without harming the civilians they are using as human shields - so how does Stark ever miss his shots?

If he has that technology at his disposal then why are there ever any instances of wayward repulsor blasts from his suits? Sure, the opponent might pull off a superhuman dodge but to have had the option of precise targeting and then to discard it after a single use is just so confusing!

Ivan Vanko, for example, isn't the most upwardly mobile villain Stark has ever faced and the fight scene on the racetrack in Monaco should have been over a lot faster than it was if only Tony had remembered that his suits have a precise aiming function - boom! One and done.

The option was there all along.
