He created sentient life (Ultron), invented a nuclear reactor that can fit in the palm of your hand and emits no waste, and solved time travel. And this was all while living on a backwater planet that’s barely scratched the surface of space travel.
That would be like if a caveman invented an iPhone using nothing but sticks and rocks.
Rocket might still be smarter than Tony but saying Tony isn’t a genius seems rather unfair. He still accomplished things that seem unheard of on other planets.

Both, in earth he is top 5 most intelligent ppl on the planet, in the universe he is still a genius, but as we see rocket too, and noneone its surprised by that, when you have an entire galaxy or universe of ppl, geniuses are not so rare anymore
He just being a dick.
We’ve seen that when he had access to a higher level of tech Tony is able to adapt to it and improve upon it. He’s a genius anywhere.
