    You'd think CW2 would have helped, but all Marvel seemed to want to do with that was to push how awesome Carol was after she blew him up. Never mind that Tony was in the right all along, and as far as I can tell the only discussion they had about it since was her saying she apologizes for nothing.

    I honestly think some writers have the rest of the MU show more respect for Dr Doom than Tony.
    I love the Illuminati as I think that's one of the best things Bendis created, but I totally agree about CWII. Carol had the nerve in Avengers to tell Tony he should apologize to her!!!! The gall she had asking for that.

    Sadly Aaron has a bit of a track record with making male characters look bad to elevate female counterparts.

    But yes, don’t count on ever seeing a writer have Carol admit she screwed the pooch on that one. You’ll hear Doom apologise to Reed Richards for getting the math wrong first.
    If ten years of recording The Young and the Restless for my mother have taught me anything, it's that characters in serial dramas are always happily in love...until they're not

    I was wrong, Tony? Sorry I blew you up, Tony?

    Nah. This.

    Or how about, "Thank you for bringing Rhodey back from the dead, Tony! The man I love would have remained dead forever without your scientific brilliance, Tony!" ?

    If ever there was a "relationship" that was thrown together it was Rhodey and Carol.

    They fridged him just to give her some emotional boost.

    She hasn't asked Tony about Rhodey once since he's been back.

    Let's all agree that they never were together, that it didn't happen.

    If Tony ever did go full villain, they would all be truly afraid.

    Nah, if Stark went full villain they'd just take turns casually beating him and casually ripping off his faceplate, even though the only characters who should be strong enough to do that are the sorts of guys who can rip of Thing's face.

    One word: Doombots.

    Tony can already remotely control all of his armors so they'd never know if they were facing the real Tony.

    Plus Tony can build some really devastating weapons.

    Preach it brother. Preach it. I’ve been saying the exact same thing! She is so ungrateful it’s not even funny.

    Just a dose of Superior Iron Man should let them know that if Tony went bad that they would all be in trouble.

    The only one he was actually allowed to defeat in that story was Daredevil, which tells you how little Marvel thinks of him.

    Just to show what is actually possible when the writer puts in some effort, here is a decent bit if Tony and Carol characterisation from last years Life Of Captain Marvel.

    FECDEA41-4AD5-46C0-9BA6-A64F34033AB3.jpg

    By Margaret Stohl. Not the current CM writer Kelly Thompson, who has the girls dumping on Tony and stealing his stuff.

    Edit: also this, same issue

    It's too small. I can't make out any of the dialogue. Do you have a bigger version of that picture?

    Edit: same deal with the new picture you edited in: I can't make out any of the dialogue; too small.
