The search for the four Infinity Stones begins with the Time Stone. Unfortunately, it buries itself into Tony's Arc Reactor and causes him to grow younger with each hour.
As if that's not enough, the Stone opens up time rifts that invite dangerous beings from different eras, throwing the city into chaos.
Tropes:
- Fountain of Youth: Tony’s emotional stress causes him to be de-aged by the Time Stone.
- The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body: Tony’s maturity changes with his body. As a teen, he goes off on a rant about his Daddy Issues to Cap, and as a child, he gets frustrated at not inventing J.A.R.V.I.S better.
- Noodle Incident:
- Thor claims to have battled a dinosaur last week.
- Hawkeye’s terrible grad school days apparently culminated in a terrible prom.
- Sanity Strengthening: The waves given off by the Time Stone restore Red Skull’s mind.
