Tony just lost his parents, and himself for that matter. As a new person was suddenly shifted into Tony Stark's body shortly after his parents had died in a car crash. This is how this new person made use of one of the greatest minds, and some foreknowledge of the events that would come (Side note) Whereas I would love, to be able to deliver a funny smart ass Tony Stark like I love to see, this won't be him, there might be times where I can dish out a humorous remark or two, but do not complain about him being different from Tony Stark.
