There was a lot of hate going on for Iron Man during Civil War and after when Captain America died. I do feel he sort of redeemed himself a tiny bit during Secret Invasion. With Norman Osborn taking over and Tony losing control of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers, it seemed like he was just getting a giant treatment of karma for all his actions.
Things have been pretty bad in his Invincible Iron Man title. With issue #20, we will see the beginning of "Stark: Disassembled" (on sale in November). What do you think? What will be Tony's final fate? Is he still deserving of all the bad things that are still happening? Check out the wraparound cover by Patrick Zircher.
Iron Man
Character » Iron Man appears in 11210 issues.
Tony Stark was the arrogant son of wealthy, weapon manufacturer Howard Stark. Tony cared only about himself, but he would have a change of heart after he was kidnapped by terrorists and gravely injured. Pressured to create a weapon of mass destruction, Stark instead created a suit of armor powerful enough for him to escape. Tony used his vast resources and intellect to make the world a better place as The Invincible Iron Man. Stark's super hero identity led him to become a founding member of the Avengers.
Tony Stark: Disassembled?
I seem to remember a time when Iron Man wasnt considered one of the biggest deusch bags in the Marvel universe, i hope those times return soon because this " im Iron Man, i know whats best for everybody" thing is getting old

Well you can't blame Thor for being mad at his a@# for making a robotic clone of him and using him as an instrument for his Registration Act. Causing the death of Goliath. I love Tony and all but I wasn't happy with his actions that he did in Civil War.

Here, here. Couldn't agree with you more.
lots of Tony hate
hasn't anybody seen the steps he's gone to keep the identities of all the registered superheroes safe?
Man if only we could learn to hate like this for real :)
I doubt he's going to be killed and I doubt it would be by Thor's hand, no matter what Tony has done in the past he, Thor, and Cap have always been friends. My question is why is he in the new armor when last we saw Tony he was wearing the classic Iron Man from the 80s?
" Well you can't blame Thor for being mad at his a@# for making a robotic clone of him and using him as an instrument for his Registration Act. Causing the death of Goliath.

I think Tony deserves to suffer after what he did with Civil War, but only because this suffering, I think, will redeem him completely in helping to fix things. A simple slap on the wrist wouldn't suffice. It's a good drama that will bring him back to where he should be.
I've been on board the Iron Man series since the end of Secret Invasion, to me, he was worth keeping an eye on during Dark Reign. I was going to drop the book once "Worlds Most Wanted" is complete but the next arc intrigues me. When I first saw that cover I decided to stay on board.
Oh you know its going to be something cheesy like Tony almost dies and Thor decides that he's paid the price for his sins... yada yada yada.... Thor fights Sif or Mephisto for Tony's soul and then all is forgiven....
Lately I feel like every major Marvel event isn't so much an event onto itself as it is simply a lead into the next major event.
Avengers Disassembled ---> House of M ----> Civil War -------> Iron Man Rules the World -----> Secret Invasion -----> Dark Reign.
Not that DC is any better; but I'm digging Blackest Night after the cluster F' that was Final Crisis.

I like 616 Tony Stark...you know people make mistakes it only serves to humanize him.Besides the registration act had some good ideas.I believe that had the initiative been voluntary and if it had certain perks other than the training, like an education for the students or a handsome salary for the instructors then it would have been very successful and popular of course Tony went with the whole "it's my way or the highway" act so of course super people didn't like it or him (the whole invasion thing didn't help either but come on those damn dirty skrulls had everyone fooled).
Am I only one who doesn't give Tony a hard time for Civil War, I love me some Tony Stark, Silly Haters
" Awww, Poor Tony :( Pepper will save the day. :D "agreed. Iron Pepper to the Rescue!

I love Pepper.
"if Cap dies, then Tony has to die just like Biggie and Tupac "But Cap's not dead...
" Am I only one who doesn't give Tony a hard time for Civil War, I love me some Tony Stark, Silly Haters "i dont. there were many more people behind the scenes and the Skrulls were influencing the decision, which was actually the matter of a vote. Tony was the scapegoat. Caps death (faked) was orchestrated by Red Skrull with Dr. Faustus and Arnim Zola.

agreed...I've said it before and I'll say it again....Cap's "death" still would have happened despite Civil War
" I THINK IT IS SUPER GREAT AWSESOMENESS....Tony needs to Die...for good, don't bring him back, don't remember him, and don't go to his funeral- kind of die... "I can understand not liking Tony but this post is completely ridiculous.
