I think the stones have some kind of Lord of the Rings effect on people.

Portman wasn't evil in Thor 2, and she was possessed.

I think it was the "AI". It just wasn't an AI.

That is what used the stone to influence Stark. It couldnt use full mind control without some one wielding it at a weapon though.

Remember how Banner picked it up in the first Avengers? He has never used a weapon. Hos first instinct is big and green. Why would he pick it up? Unless it was influencing him, just like how I think it was influencing all of the anger and bickering.

Not the stones. Imo. The more I think about this, the more I flesh it out.

Stark is still partially under its influence somehow, and will be leading up to the Civil War. At least, that's my story and I am sticking to it.
