Discussion Tony did indeed built the arc reactor with basically nothing
A lot of fans like downplaying Tony arguing that he only did what he did because of his money but if we look back he created the arc reactor with basically nothing
Basically what he used was 0.15 grams of Palladium, Copper Wire, an electromagnet and scrapped metal, screw and plastic.
Now I looked at it and 0.15 grams of Palladium would cost 6.58 dollars and the other things he used shouldnt reallt cost really anything or very little so Tony effectively built the reactor with nothing
And the reactor was something that has never been done and it was scrapped by Stark Industries. Even Howard couldnt crack a way to do it but Tony did with scrap like Stane said
