A comprehensive list of evidence Tony Stark is the one to wield the Infinity Gauntlet (since I’ve spattered this content through like 5 posts now):
EVIDENCE #1: STRANGE SAVES TONY AFTER SEEING THE FUTURE WHERE THEY WIN
Dr. Strange told Tony he’d be willing to let Tony, Peter, anyone die to protect the Time Stone. But when it came down to the wire, Strange offered the Time Stone to save Tony’s life. This was after Strange lived through 14,000,605 scenarios and saw 1 where they win. Which means the “endgame” required 1) Thanos winning, most likely to throw him off his guard, and 2) Tony’s survival, because otherwise Strange could’ve offered up the Stone to save anyone else (or held onto it after Tony died for some other purpose).
How would Strange know Tony’s survival was necessary? In Doctor Strange (the movie), it’s said that a soul can only travel/see to places where it’s been and where it’s going to be. In which case, Strange knew he’d die – and this was most likely one of the last possibilities he looked at. Because why the hell would he look at a scenario where he’s gone and can’t see anything – especially early on; let alone look at a reality where he gives up the Time Stone?
When Strange does take a peek at this grim possibility? Where he loses the Time Stone and perishes? His soul comes back. Maybe it’s when he comes back, he sees Tony there – maybe with the Infinity Gauntlet. Perhaps this is what clued Strange in to the fact Tony is invaluable to what’s to come – and why Strange begins calling Tony by his first name and treating him with respect. Not only does Strange now know that Tony is alive in whatever scenario they win, but Tony is the one who saves them all.
