Can we talk about Tony Stark for a minute? “Demon in a Bottle,” was a nine-issue story arc that deals with Tony Stark’s aggressive alcoholism. His armour “malfunctions” and he accidentally kills a man, sending him into a downward spiral of drunken nights and self-loathing. A woman then helps him through his addiction and leads him through withdrawal.

After all of that, after having to go through all of that, he becomes optimistic and hopeful for the future. He becomes kind and willing to help those he cares for, and those he doesn’t quite know. That really speaks volumes to me because people just think he’s a dick. But he’s a man who conquered addiction and trauma, who used a pate full of ambition to get through his issues.

“The only thing you fight for is yourself. You know, you may not be a threat but you better stop pretending to be a hero.”

Tony Stark deserves better.
