Notice that I tied for GL and Iron Man. Picture Tony Stark with a Lantern ring.

Tony Stark is recovering alcoholic. He's always been controlling, difficult, and, while forward-thinking and optimistic, not someone you like to cross. Like most alcoholics. Something I unfortunately relate too.
And I really don't see what was so wrong with what Tony Stark was doing.

Date: 5 Aug 2007 19:49 (UTC)Pretty much any time you find yourself hiring - by hook, crook, or electrocuting nanochain - Bullseye and the Venom symbiote to do any... well, anything except maybe "volunteer test subject to see whether or not Sentry can throw people into a star other than Sol" - you've pretty much confirmed right then and there that you are no longer on the side of the Angels, and you need to rethink your position.
I mean, it's like a twisted version of "You might be a Redneck" - "If you and your co-conspirators are cloning a cyborg version of a best friend who just happens to be a Thunder God to help you in your schemes... You Might Be A Supervillain." "If your idea of a good Black Ops team includes an alien symbiote who thinks eating people is a good idea - and a sociopath killer who is even meaner and eviller than that... You Might Be a Supervillain." "If your idea of a good place to stuff prisoners is an alternate dimension that's proven to drive people insane... You Might Be a Supervillain." "If your partner needs to turn to the Mad Thinker to check his math... He Might Be A Supervillain." "If your schemes set off every 'I think this might be a bad idea' alarm in the head of your best friend, who just happens to embody everything that is good, decent, noble, and righteous about the American Dream... You're probably a supervillain."
And yeah, Tony isn't (wasn't) a saint. But at his heart, he's a decent human being - even when he was acting as SecDef, and developing new weapons (again) for the US Military, he was working from the angle of high-tech less-than-lethal weapon systems, not bigger-and-better bombs. He's the model of the enlightened capitalist - the guy who runs his company so that his workers don't think they need a union to look after them.
The guy Millar, et al have been writing about for the last year - he's gotta be that alternate universe Stark that Immortus pulled outta somwhere, back from whatever time-space hole he crawled into after Heroes Reborn. Because while Tony, Reed, etc. might decide that Registration (proven to be a Bad Idea - and one that both of them have fought against in the past) is The Only Way This Time - they would sure as hell not implement it as ham-handedly and in as over-the top "Stark Uber Alles" a fashion as the last year or so has shown.
