Solutions always come down to fists, and I wouldn’t want it any other way. In the superhero community, words never solve problems. But this story we’re reading now takes place right smack in the middle of this moral ambiguity mess. Siege and the Heroic Age debuting in 2010 finally stopped pitting superheroes against other superheroes, which was a welcome change of pace.
Dark Reign after that had Norman Osborn (the Green Goblin) as the sadistic leader of national security with the American government mostly under his control. The Civil War split the superhero community into two, Secret Invasion followed with the premise that any superhero at any time could be an evil shapeshifting Skrull. The second half of the 2000s tended to go with themes of distrust, betrayal, and ruined friendships. You know who’s not big on small talk? Nordic thunder gods. Michael Straczynski and drawn by Olivier Coipel, Stark pays his buddy a visit. So in Thor #3, written by the phenomenal J. And to be fair, Thor didn’t fill out a single piece of paperwork. Well, if you know anything about zoning laws, the government isn’t terribly thrilled. Luckily, gods don’t stay deceased for very long and Thor, wanting to bring his homeland and all his friends killed in Ragnarok back to life (he had a busy year), warped the entire city of Asgard to rural Oklahoma. Sure, Iron Man cloned Thor using his DNA and had the clone fight Captain America’s underground Avengers, but the actual Asgardian was occupied with other matters. Oh, but you know who missed the entire Civil War event? Yes, the Hulk, but that’s a different story. Also, his team went up against Captain America’s, and any team the captain sides with will always be the good guys.
Essentially, he became The Man, holding down superheroes who didn’t trust or forcibly side with the government, which is pretty much all of them. This isn’t some sort of Spider-Man public menace charade. Since the 2006 Marvel comics event Civil War up till just a year or two ago, Tony Stark hasn’t been terribly well-liked in the Marvel universe.
