I have to say it doesn't offer much meat for writing.
True. But thinking about, I'd posit the idea that that temporary paralysis device could very well have contributed to his demise. I mean, that thing made people's ears bleed! It was very bad! And while the little earbuds Obie wore protected him from the overt effects, it might not have protected him as well as he thought. (Wonder how many other times he used it.)
And it explains why Stark Sr. might mount a full-court press of OMG MY SON IS A GENIUS as a PR kinda thing as part of re-trenching.
Yeah. And sad for Tony, that. Because that kind of attention just ain't good for a kiddo.
And it's been pointed out among the original participants o' doom that maybe, Daddy Stark and Obediah had been dealing under the table together.
That just ... that's just painful to think about. I wonder if Tony's had a chance, yet, to have that thought bubble find its way through the quicksand in his head. Or if that's something his psyche just wouldn't allow. And if Dad did, then may that secret RIP with Obediah, because Tony doesn't need that on top of everything else. (That kind of knowledge would certainly nudge more scotch his way.)
