He believed mortal intelligence was about on par with that of great apes.
He pulled Dr. Banner over to the machine and began discussing the blueprints with him. As a top genius in physics and engineering, Tony was confident he could help Banner complete the device.
More than ten minutes later, Tony offered his concluding advice, while General Ross still had not burst in with a gun.
"Overall, assuming the experimental records are correct, Gamma Rays can indeed turn a living creature green and make it bigger." Tony planted one foot on the machine's corner and gestured grandly like a bandit king. "And using filters made from lead and Adamantium can ensure the radiation stays at the proper level."
"But that is exactly the problem." Banner raised two disc-shaped components, one in each hand. One was covered in densely packed tiny holes, while the other had several fist-sized openings. "I call them rectifier covers. What you call filters—I need thirty of them in total, and I designed two kinds—"
