I mean its only been a few months for most of these places so that makes sense. I imagine tech cities like Metropolis and Gateway are nearing some kind of breakthrough if they don't already have generation 1 prototypes. People like Trask are probably making bank with all of the lucrative contracts and funding.

Some kind of superpowered arms race.

Hm. Kind of makes me wonder how/if I want to address things like this with Stark Industries.

Honestly, I think I kind of see it as being a pro-choice type decision where Tony wouldn't feel it was right designing things that would clamp down on other people's rights to their own powers. Their body, their choice kind of thing.

But maybe he's just too wrapped up in his own business to care about designing tech that would be competitive in this field anyhow?

Not sure.
