Tony Stark's arc reactor is a technological wonder, but its mechanics do not always add up. Initially, it is crucial to keep shrapnel away from his heart, but by the time Iron Man 3 rolls around, it has simply become a power source. Stark has the shrapnel surgically removed by this point, making the reactor unnecessary—but he continues to use it. Furthermore, why didn't Stark's incredible technology revolutionize medicine or energy globally? The MCU doesn't explore how the reactor could have reshaped the world beyond Stark's personal ventures, which left a gaping logic hole.
