You know what could have stopped the Ultron thing? Basic safety. All Tony would have had to do is do his dangerous alien AI experiments on an isolated network that ISN'T CONNECTED TO HIS WEAPON SYSTEMS OR THE INTERNET. Bam, Ultron never gets a chance to do anything.
It's a consistent pattern with him. When he was testing his rocket boots he didn't bother to run any calculations on their thrust and ended up face planting into the ceiling. He could have died. When he was testing the flight suit he pushed the altitude and almost died. AGAIN. Notice what the Iron Man suits don't have? A parachute. An auxiliary power source. Any kind of safety system whatsoever that saves the user's life if any of the important parts of the suit stop working. If Tony Stark designed cars, he wouldn't include seatbelts or airbags because his plan for crashing is "LOL just don't crash". He's directly at fault for Rhodes' crash.
What Tony did was the equivalent of resurrecting an unknown alien bacteria without bothering to put it in isolation first. If the guy was in the Aliens universe, he'd probably try to kiss a facehugger. If he was in Jurassic Park he wouldn't even put a fence around the raptors. The guy has no sense of safety precautions at all.
You know what we did when the first Apollo astronauts came back from the moon? We put them in quarantine, just on the off chance they picked up moon germs. Don't fuck with alien shit you don't understand without any safety precautions at all. Who wants to bet he STILL hasn't put in any safety systems in his new suits after his best friend broke his spine falling in one?
Plot's the only reason he hasn't killed himself and his friends in his tests before now. There are entire movies about how stupid his type of character is. He's the idiot executives in Alien, he's the scientists making Indominus Rex in Jurassic Park, he's the fucking assholes in charge of UmbrellaCo. It's just that here he's a protagonist so everything always ends up ok.
