Marvel's fans found a clue to Iron Man's snap in the classic MCU scene, based on the theory from Reddit user WolverineKuzuri93, Tony Stark was able to wield the Infinity Stones and not be immediately incapacitated or outright destroyed because of the power of his Arc Reactor. This goes all the way back to Iron Man (2008), the first film in the MCU and the Infinity Saga, when Shaun Toub's Yinsen told Tony Stark that the Arc Reactor could run his heart for 50 lifetimes. Tony Stark responded that the Arc Reactor could alternatively run something very big for 15 minutes. The Infinity Stones may be very small but their power is much bigger than very big. Fortunately, Tony Stark didn't need to use them for 15 minutes, he only needed to wield them briefly and use them once to accomplish what he needed to accomplish. This theory addresses one of the perceived plot holes for some in Avengers: Endgame as to how Tony Stark was able to wield the Infinity Stones at all, let alone use them. Throughout the Infinity Saga, we've heard that normal mortals could not withstand contact with an Infinity Stone. It's a point of discussion in Endgame when Bruce Banner knows that he's the only one who can use the gauntlet to bring everyone back. That act put the Hulk out of commission and resulted in permanent damage and he's one of the strongest Avengers, a near god, and Tony Stark is just a guy with a high tech suit. But this theory posits that Tony was able to do what he did because his Arc Reactor took the bulk of the energy to prevent the stones from killing him, giving him enough time to do what he did before the act ultimately did kill him. This also explains why the Arc Reactor goes off when Tony dies. It has simply exhausted its power.
