    All fair points - though there is some context to add...

    1. The Kree did provide help to Tony to build the sphere. But the Kree have been an interstellar society for a billion years, and they quite specifically don't get any smarter or any more evolved - it has been a major plot-point more than once. They have built nothing else particularly close to a Dyson Sphere, until they were helping Tony Stark build one.

    2. For the time travel - Doom and Stark worked together one time to make that work (quite notably as equals in the task - but call that whatever it needs to be), but ISTR Stark doing it on his own another time.

    3. I'm OK with "meh" on the P-force feat, but it still was what it was. No, it didn't hurt the force, but it did rip it up and split the energy of something as powerful as the P-force, all against its will. It's not terrible, as far as feats go.

    Stark invented a time-machine on his own in issue #59, year 2002.

    And yes, ripping the phoenix apart is a huge deal, even if it can survive being ripped apart.

    I'd put something like the psyche magnetron and such junk as a better accomplishment of Kree science. Create anything ever made by Kree science by all of thinking hard, give yourself or others superpowers, and the thing having an even more ludicrously potent overload mode from its power, so forth. The Omni-wave projector that could send instantaneous communication across the galaxy to a recipient, or apparently death and transmutation rays if modified hard enough, all that kind of thing.

    Messing with it like that in the first place is what I'm meh on. For what the force is supposed to represent, it stretches credulity. I'd frankly be leery on Reed or Doom doing something like that, in the way that was done.

    Well, if one of the Secret Wars-Teasers is valid, Tony has built himself a Galactus-Killer-Armor.
    Go figure.

    As long as he doesn't call it the Galactus Buster, he should be fine.

    And they DID make the Inhumans, which isn't bad either.

    So it'll last two or three hits then fail catastrophically.

    Neat.
    Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran
