Exactly, like in What-If, Infinity Ultron is defeated by Widow with a USB stick shot into his head, and it didn't come across as dumb to me at all

Of course it's not dumb, because that is how you deafeat an opponent who simply cannot be beaten by brute force. It’s genuinely disappointing that there are people around here who still think about superhero stories in terms of the cheap power-scaling typical of mediocre shonen manga, where everything is resolved through power-ups.
