Had the absolute privilege of presenting a brand spanking new 3D-printed bionic Iron Man arm to Alex, the most dapper 7-year-old I’ve ever met. Special thanks to Albert Manero, OneNote, and #CollectiveProject for their work making artificial limbs like this more affordable for families with kids who want to show the playground how badass they are. Check out http://www.facebook.com/LimbitlessSolutions to learn more about this incredible project. #goodcause

the avengers as greek mythological figures: tony stark as icarus/daedalus

he’s the inventor and he’s the one who is flying too close to the sun, always always always. he invents and then he dons his invention, ‘the suit and i are one’ - which is why he will not fall, he will never fall because he’d just keep building as he goes on. similarly, all human progress narratives can be applied to this fucker - prometheus, for example. tony stark gives the technology of the gods to the humans (tho he’s upgraded from bombs to tesseract energy) and he gives humans the ability to point at a map and obliterate a city; a wrath that previously only gods in the time of heroes had been able to accomplish, via flood or fire. and his punishment is that humanity will never be enough for him. his punishment is that the eagle picking out his liver is living inside his head, and he’ll never be at peace until humanity reaches the stars.

So the way I’m writing at the moment is Tony’s technology that he uses is his own technology. Pretty much he’s Conan. I’m writing stories in a wholly civilized place where technology is very much magic, and Tony is the caveman, and they all think he’s quite roguish and charming. He’s literally being treated like the noble savage; he’s turned up in this palace of incredible technical refinement, and they’re essentially all looking down on him. It’s almost sociological; it is leaning towards space opera.
When I get to the issues of that space stuff, a lot of it is about Tony’s expectations. In the first issue, Tony is quite, I wouldn’t say close-minded, but for an incredibly clever man, he misses a lot of stuff, because it’s not nearly on his radar. And here, there’s an element in the fact that he’s in the Guardians of the Galaxy, he’s living out every Han Solo, Captain Kirk fantasy that he’s ever had. As much as he’s interested in the science of these people, and trying to understand them, part of it is the almost giggling to himself, as in, “oh my god I’m flirting with an alien princess.” [Laughs]
And it becomes almost about the concept of science fiction and our relationship with how fiction inspires us and the great scientists. And that’s kind of the subtext going on here, that Tony is meeting these alien civilizations, even though I’m still working in this space opera-y mode.

Obviously I get why they cut it, pacing-wise, but this is why that deleted scene from Iron Man with Rhodey outright refusing to give up searching for Tony was so important. Because it shows just how much Rhodey cares for and needs Tony in return. This is not a one-way friendship.
