8. Iron Man - Tony Stark Is Pretty Dumb For A CEO Of A Multi-Billion Dollar Company
You must need a pretty big brain to be the CEO of a multi-billion dollar company, right? Well, if your name is Tony Stark then no, you obviously don't. One of the richest men on the planet, Tony Stark is kidnapped at the very beginning of Iron Man by a group of supposed terrorists that want to extort a bunch of Jericho missiles out of him for use in their own wars. Mr. Stark obviously escapes in his prototype Iron Man suit and makes it home, but is completely unaware that his supposed friend and colleague, Obadiah Stane was behind the entire kidnapping. Sure, if someone was responsible for kidnapping and torturing you, the last person you'd want to believe was responsible was a close friend. But Stark is in a position of power, he has technology, resources and money at his disposal and yet, he never once considers trying to find out if someone was responsible for his kidnapping. And if that wasn't enough, Stane outright tells Tony to his face that he was the one responsible for locking Stark out of his own company, and only then does Stark decide to suspect something is amiss. But instead of finding out for himself, he sends his assistant to conduct some corporate espionage instead. This entire situation could have been handled so much better if Stark actually bothered to turn up at his office for work instead of tinkering with metal suits in his basement. What a knucklehead.
