Tony Stark: The Invincible Iron Man Appreciation 2022

[Marvell2100]

I’ve always been of the opinion that the Tony/Steve dynamic isn’t emphasized enough in the Marvel Universe like Bruce and Clark over in the DC Universe. This book is definitely fleshing things out, and it’s been a pleasant surprise.

Very true. I don't think they portray how important their relationship really is. Either one or both has been their for just about every incarnation of the Avengers.

What do you guys think? I think what Tony was doing was just thinking a head. Is it wrong? I guess in a way, but you never know what might happen in the future.
The Avengers first meeting showed some of Tony's secretive side.

So because Bendis did a mild retcon of events of the Avengers first meeting, Tony is a villain waiting to happen? Might I remind people that the "dark, secretive side" of Steve became head of HYDRA and conquered most of the United States during Secret Empire? What about that time when Thor became king of Asgard and tried to invade and conquer Earth?

But we get article after article about what's wrong with Tony. Smh.

Yeah, I may have my own issues with some of his actions in the past, but this is a bit much. Oh, and if we really wanted to pile on Thor, what about him joining HYDRA-Cap during Secret Empire just because HYDRA-Cap used some cosmic cheat (unwittingly granted to him by his mother figure, the newest Madame HYDRA) to lift Mjolnir? At this point, almost no one in the MU has completely clean hands; my personal all-time favorite Marvel Universe hero made a literal Faustian bargain in betrayal of his core ethos just so he wouldn't have to face up to the consequences of his own actions.

I know it's an article focusing on a negative of Tony's, but my point is that what he was doing wasn't evil. It was a preemptive strike. Using his famous foresight to plan a head. That's what I took from the article.

I'm sick of these articles. They are all framed from the perspective that Iron Man is scum. I've stopped clicking on any article you post from here, because I refuse to give them any more clicks.

The problem is that they aren't framing the article like that. It's always framed as a negative.

I see exactly where your coming from. What I wanted to talk about was not the article per say, but the actions Tony took that the article spoke of. I should have made myself clearer. My bad.

Bro, you know we're good. We've been shellheads together for a long time.

The thing is, all of these articles are framed from the perspective that Iron Man is scum. So regardless of your intentions, reading them just feels like getting constantly hammered with anti-Iron Man propaganda in a thread for Iron Man fans.

I gotta get this variant. It’s amazing. Good choice.

Same here brother.

Indeed, it is. Still one of the best of the 21st-century armors so far.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. I’m really enjoying the book. I wouldn’t mind if they made it an ongoing. Just to emphasize the pairing. They play so well off of each other when written correctly.

The "Heroes Return" armor (a.k.a. Mk. XIII) was a favorite of mine:
