Well, that just won't do. So Tony Stark, futurist, one of the smartest dudes alive, devices a brilliant plan to escape--which just happens to involve toying with the affections of Pepper Potts, and then crushing her hopes:
Oh, Tony...but you were younger then, right? There's no way you could be so cavalier towards Pepper's feelings today, right?!?
The lesson? Once a self-absorbed, inconsiderate, soul-crushing dickweed, always a self-absorbed, inconsiderate, soul-crushing dickweed.The past: Tales Of Suspense #48 (1963). The present: Invincible Iron Man #8 (2009). The future...?
BONUS: In all his glory, as presented by Lee and Ditko, The Mysterious Mr. Doll!!
Ok, so they weren't all winners back then...

Thanks for the Tales of Suspense Flashback; I had not seen that one before.
The recent scene in Invicible Iron Man 8 totally pissed me off. It's like they were doing the Movie Iron Man one panel and the slightly more considerate comic book 80's Stark the next panel.
What exactly does the writer want us to believe here in Invincible?
Since no one uses thought ballons much anymore Tony's silence in the last panel is seeminly total proof he's an ass. Had he thought "Oh Pepper I so love you" or stated that the triplets were just a joke maybe it would have went over better.
As it is this makes Tony seem the asshole Marvel wishes him to be these days.
He's not even an anti-hero. He's just an asshole who pretends to be a superhero when it suits him.
and yes, I dropped INVINCIBLE
