He has major ones in the comics, or at least he did a few years ago. Is he still wired to his own building?

Yeah, Slay. I need a better pic of that weird Iron Man suit, stat.
Why does Tony keep building "X-Buster" armors? Why has he not learned that they never, ever work?!

Nice, don't fuck with BP, Starks.

Nice. How did you know this?
Haha, I was about to say, why is he developing numerous suits to fight his so called allies when these suits always fail him?

brand new underwear never feel right. If I were rich I'd hire people to break in my underwear for me.

That's what I thought.
It happens once when he's served with a summons, and once when Son of Coul tries to hand him something.
Did any of Stark's buster suits ever bust what they were designed to bust?

He also did it in Iron Man 2 when he bought strawberries from that guy. It's been an ongoing thing.

Reading the GAF you'd think Black Panther is the most popular and beloved superhero in the world. Reminds me of the Deadpool hysteria circa ~2006.

I looked into this before and found someone explaining this:
He grew up signing anything someone handed too him, taking anything anyone gave him etc. This resulted in all the bad things and weapon dealing he dealt with in the first movie. The terrorists, his old pal iron monger etc. After the first movie events happened, he no longer trusts anything someone hands him, hence he doesn't get handed stuff he wants.
Makes sense kind of.

I thought the movie version of him was - in part - based on Elon Musk. Y'know, the "Genius, Billionaire, Playboy, Philanthropist" (okay, maybe not the playboy part).
Are you trying to say that Black Panther is the Vita of superheroes?

Beautiful.
I think they did that in The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret.
He can't help himself. He sees a "problem" he has to try and fix it, even though he really should stick to practical material applications and solutions, so we can avoid issues like the Super Hero Registration Program and the Super Hero Civil War that followed. Stay away from the philosophy and the conceptual, or at least listen to his advisors (he never does because he always knows better and then we have to see him tearfully stare down a bottle of booze. Wondering where he went wrong in life.)
They more often end up making things worse. But his second hulkbuster would have worked if they hadn't stolen his SPIN( Super Power Inhibiting Nanites) missile.
It seems like the only redeemable thing about Tony Stark is that RDJ ended up playing him in the movies. He seems like such a terrible character.BP hands him shit all the time, like five across the lips

Stark is not a bad guy, just forgets he isn't always the smartest person in the room. Now Reed and Xavier? Universe class asshole.

They all in the same general area, but Pym and Banner have some specialties over Reed.
Yeah Ang Lee hulk was crazy.
Reed is supposed to be the smartest in general science, I believe.

Would that make Doctor Doom a multiverse class asshole?
Doom can see reason. Reed and Xavier refuse to see it.
The writers can't decide it they want to make him the asshole who is always trying to redeem himself, or the genius with a dark history who has learned his lesson. Every time they get a new writer they start the cycle again. It's almost like they all know an asshole in their lives and they mold Tony around them. Every arc he has to shun and alienate his friends, make things super awkward with Pepper Potts, battle with the bottle, show himself as a dick to Pym and sometimes Reed Richards, and fuck up his life and business, so that he can rebuild again. It's like the writers don't know how to write a happy and successful Stark any more than writers can make a happy and level headed unobsessed Batman. They just don't know how. And the few that do, eventually have to turn it over to someone else, and they break everything down so Tony can rebuild it again.
Kinda, yes. Now imagine growing up reading comics because you love the suit and knowing that guy is always inside.

You're giving Doom too much credit. His refusal to see reason has been his downfall a million times over.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Why does Stark need to build a suit for black panther? It's not like panther isnt a human, the standard suit should be enough granted he's careful.
The downfall of many
