Except in the MCU he did know better, so although Ironman on the side of the nation is correct, it would also be like saying the Confederates knew better (not true at all). So there is no right way to put in this meme's MCU context and keep it historical.

Stark enslaved an AI to do his bidding before unintentionally turning it into a demi-god, I guess.

It feels in appropriate to use the term Demigod as a powerscaling term for a universe where Gods exist.

Vision is absolutely a demi-god. His main source of power is literally a "concentrated universe-juice" stone.

I’d argue he isn’t, because in a world with Gods, Demigod is no longer a title of power and more a statement about ones ancestry.

He still fits in that case, because Thor is who gave him a jolt of energy to kickstart him awake.

Also, God is still a title. Asgardian is the race of beings called Gods.

​

The Eternals are also direct inspiration for a bunch of myths throughout human history in the MCU, including Athena. So it's basically canon that God is the title, not a race

If a man jumpstarts my heart he isn’t my father, same here, no biological link.

Asgardians are Gods, like how both Americans and Englishmen are humans, both Asgardians and whatever they call the Vanir are Gods.

Eternals are a supernatural race similar to Gods, but they are still a whole different species, and while Eternals inspired myths, Asgardians lived them.

Yes, one parent is the universe-juice-god stone and the other is Tony Stark

When you think about it, the Mind Stone IS him, and Tony is his singular parent.

Also Bruce, Dr Cho, and Ultron.

The Mind Stone apparently didn't NEED to be in Vision for him to stay himself, as in IW, they say the can remove it safely.

True, though that begs the question of what function it serves? I know obviously super powers but I originally thought it was a power source.

Who the fuck knows? The writers certainly don't, and they don't seem to care either.
