Do you still like Ironman?

I hated him as a hero hunter. Setting up that jail, capturing heroes. All of it just wasn't right. He is suppost to be a hero himself. Becoming leader of S.H.I.E.L.D. was amistake. I haven't read about Iron Man in months now. So I gave up on him.

I'm the other way around - Stark/IM was a fairly "meh" character as far as I was concerned, until Civil War. That made me sit up and take notice. What the Knaupf brothers then did in "Iron Man: Director of Shield" continued, for me, to shape Tony as an individual - not just an icon. And I'm really enjoying what Matt Fraction is doing on Invincible IM, especially now that Tony is supposedly "the world's most wanted".

For me, Civil War brought Marvel into the "real world". I had high hopes for Secret Invasion (which, unfortunately, fell very flat) - but between Iron Man, Thunderbolts and New Avengers, I'm getting my fix of gritty real world superheroics in comics.

So is Tony still insane, is he still in love with Mrs. Marvel? Is he still S.H.I.E.L.D.'s puppet?

I'll be honest, I've never really been a fan of Iron Man...just not my cup of tea really. I respected the fact that he was an Avenger, and a well respected character in other people's eyes. When Civil War started, I thought that his actions and his beliefs were a bit...off. I identified more with Captain America's stance on the whole situation, and completely was stunned by the ending of that story.

His actions since have been heinous. I agree with HappyCanuck in his argument: With everything he has done, believing that they are for the best, what makes him any different than any run-of-the-mill marvel villain.

He encourages heroes to reveal their identities publicly, no matter their social class, to put their loved ones in harm's way, and thinks of nothing of protecting those people when that information gets into the wrong hands (example: Spider-Man). As a matter of fact, in Spider-Man's case, he refused to help because even though his identity was revealed and May was hurt, he refused to help because Peter disagreed with him and the Initiative.

No...I don't like Iron Man. Do I agree with what they've done to him since the end of Secret Invasion? No. But everything he's done in the past few years has been horrible.

I like Iron Man as a concept, but the way they've been doing stories lately makes the character kin of sucky.

[Guardian]

I hated his stance durin' and after CW. Now I kinda just feel sorry for him. He became the Marvel U's biggest patsy.

[Richv1]

Yes I still like Iron Man. Even with the stupid way he was handled in CW. I haven't read it recently but I was a fan of his since the 70's.

Who's this Iron Man you speak of?
