Happy Birthday to the sexiest asshole in the entire MCU, Tony Stark!! Some science bros for the occasion. Bruce tries to calm Tony and ease him down from a panic attack and uses some sensory deprivation. (I just love drawing the arc reactor)
Bruce is analyzing some chemicals that he holds some hope in, thinking they have potential to help manage the Hulk. Tony shows up earlier than Bruce expected, and he tries to finish up his work before Tony figures out what he’s doing. But you can’t hide anything from Tony. Bruce realizes too late that he should have just greeted Tony with an apology and an explanation. Instead he gets defensive and angry over the fact that he feels he has to explain at all.
“What are you working on? … I thought we were passed this. Christ.”
Reunited. Reunited. Seeing each other, and they can’t show how they feel until they are somewhere private, somewhere out of the fray. Bruce, Bruce just grabs him. Pulls him close and kisses him. Hard. Bruce has no idea about all that has gone down while he was gone. He has no idea. Because once again, the world kept spinning while Bruce was gone and Bruce’s world is standing still. Two years passed and Bruce barely felt it. The only thing he is feeling now is how much he missed Tony, and that he doesn’t want to waste any more time.
And Tony is torn. He doesn’t want it to end, because as soon as their lips part, that’s when Tony has to start playing catch-up with Bruce. He has to tell him what’s taking place in the world he left behind…

the gist of this idea me and @khyeili have been screwing around with is that tony is having a bad time. everyone thinks he's transphobic now just because he's deeply annoyed by captain america

Random Headcanon: That Federation vessels in Star Trek seem to experience bizarre malfunctions with such overwhelming frequency isn’t just an artefact of the television serial format. Rather, it’s because the Federation as a culture are a bunch of deranged hyper-neophiles, tooling around in ships packed full of beyond-cutting-edge tech they don’t really understand. Endlessly frustrating if you have to fight them, because they can pull an effectively unlimited number of bullshit space-magic countermeasures out of their arses - but they’re as likely as not to give themselves a lethal five-dimensional wedgie in the process. All those rampant holograms and warp core malfunctions and accidentally-traveling-back-in-time incidents? That doesn’t actually happen to anyone else; it’s literally just Federation vessels that go off the rails like that. And they do so on a fairly regular basis.
Aliens who have seen the Back to the Future movies literally don’t realise that Doc Brown is meant to be funny. They’re just like “yes, that is exactly what all human scientists are like in my experience”.
THE ONLY REASON SCOTTY IS CHIEF ENGINEER INSTEAD OF SOMEONE FROM A SPECIES WITH A HIGHER TECHNOLOGICAL APTITUDE IS BECAUSE EVERYONE FROM THOSE SPECIES TOOK ONE LOOK AT THE ENTERPRISE’S ENGINE ROOM AND RAN AWAY SCREAMING
I love this. Especially because of how well it plays with my headcanon that the Federation does so much better against the Borg than anyone else because beating the Borg with military tactics is nigh-impossible, but beating them with wacky superscience shenanigans works as long as they’re unique wacky superscience shenanigans.
Reminds me of the thing I wrote a while back about Humans in high fantasy realms - they’re basically Team Fuck It Hold My Beer I Got This.
Impulsive, passionate to a fault, the social structures they build to try and regulate this hotheadedness ironically creates even greater levels of sheer bull-headedness. Even their “cooler” heads take action in months or weeks.
All their great heroes of the past were impossibly rash by galactic standards. Humans Just Go With It, which is their great flaw but also their greatest strength.
klingons: you vulcans are a bunch of stuffy prisses but you’re also tougher, stronger, and smarter than humans in every single way
klingons: why do you let them run your federation
vulcan science academy: look
vulcan science academy: this is a species where if you give them two warp cores they don’t do experiments on one and save the other for if the first one blows up
vulcan science academy: this is a species where if you give them two warp cores, they will ask for a third one, immediately plug all three into each other, punch a hole into an alternate universe where humans subscribe to an even more destructive ideological system, fight everyone in it because they’re offended by that, steal their warp cores, plug those together, punch their way back here, then try to turn a nearby sun into a torus because that was what their initial scientific experiment was for and they didn’t want to waste a trip.
vulcan science academy: they did that last week. we have the write-up right here. it’s getting published in about six hundred scientific journals across two hundred different disciplines because of how many established theories their ridiculous little expedition has just called into question. also, they did turn that sun into a torus, and no one actually knows how.
vulcan science academy: this is why we let them do whatever the hell they want.
you know what the best evidence for this is? Deep Space 9 almost never broke down. minor malfunctions that irritated O’Brien to hell and back, sure, but almost none of the truly weird shit that befell Voyager and all the starships Enterprise. what was the weirdest malfunction DS9 ever had? the senior staff getting trapped as holosuite characters in Our Man Bashir, and that was because a human decided to just dump the transporter buffer into the station’s core memory and hope everything would work out somehow, which is a bit like swapping your computer’s hard drive out for a memory card from a PlayStation 2 and expecting to be able to play a game of Spyro the Dragon with your keyboard and mouse.
you know what, I’m not done with this post. let’s talk about the Pegasus. the USS Fucking Pegasus, testbed for the first Starfleet cloaking device. here we have a handful of humans working in secret to develop a cloaking device in violation of a treaty with the Romulans. they’re playing catchup trying to develop a technology other species have had for a century. and what do they do? do they decide to duplicate a Romulan cloaking device precisely, just see if they can match what other species have? nope. they decide, hey, while we’re at it, while we’re building our very first one of these things, just to find out if this is possible, let’s see if we can make this thing phase us out of normal space so we can fly through planets while we’re invisible.
“but why” said the one Vulcan in the room.
“because that would fucking rule” said the humans, high-fiving each other and slamming cans of 24th-century Red Bull.
there must be like twenty different counselling groups for non-human engineering students at Starfleet Academy, and every week in every single one of them someone walks in and starts up with a story like “our assignment was to repair a phaser emitter and my one human classmate built a chronometric-flux toaster that toasts bread after you’ve eaten it.”
Humans get mildly offended by the way they are presented in non-human media.
Like: “Guys, we totally wouldn’t do that!” But this always fails to get much traction, because the authors can always say: “You totally did.”
“That was ONE TIME.”
There’s that movie where humans invented vaccines by just testing them on people. Or the one about those two humans who invented powered flight by crashing a bunch of prototypes. Or the one about electricity.
And human historians go, “Oh, uh, this is historically accurate, but also kind of boring.” To which the producers respond: “How is doing THIS CRAZY THING boring????????”
There are entire serieses of horror movies where the premise is “We stopped paying attention to the human and ey found the technology.”
This is why the Federation is the only organisation to ever stand a chance against the Borg
The Borg can adapt to the brilliant millitary strategies of the Romulan Star Empire, the Klingons and even the cold logical intellectual prowess of the vulcans
The Borg weren’t prepared for a starship captain to lure them into his 50′s noir detective holo-novel and then machine gun them to death with a weapon made out of hard light
ANDORIAN YEOMAN: Captain! The replicators are malfunctioning, and the ambassador’s party will be here in an hour!
KIRK: Don’t worry. We got this. *calls engineering* Hey Scotty, you were in the dorms at Starfleet, right?
SCOTTY: Aye.
KIRK: And you weren’t allowed to have large appliances in your dorm rooms, right?
SCOTTY: Nae, we were not.
KIRK: Ok. So, the ambassador and co are gonna be here in an hour, and we need to set up a feast for them. And we have no replicators.
SCOTTY: *catching on* Right! I’ll take me team to the mess hall and we’ll get right on it!
KIRK: Thanks. Kirk out.
ANDORIAN YEOMAN: …What just happened?
KIRK: Ah, you weren’t in a dorm, I see.
ANDORIAN YEOMAN: No, I was part of the offworlders’ fraternity… we had a kitchen…
KIRK: So, you never fried eggs on tinfoil on a flat iron. Never painted a can of stew black, poked a hole in the top, and set it in a sunny window to slow-cook all day. Never used an instant coffeepot to boil rice to pour the stew over.
ANDORIAN YEOMAN: *horrified* N-No, sir.
KIRK: We’re gonna treat the ambassador’s team to a Genuine Earth-Style Scholar’s Feast!
*comm chirps* *Kirk answers*
SCOTTY: Well, we don’t have an iron or a coffeepot, but the warp core produces heat and we think we can rig a pipe from one of the vents to a storage locker to make an oven; Jones has volunteered some of his beer – good lad! – and we’re gonna get the guys in Science to extract some of the yeast and grab some of those grain samples and see if we can get some bread going. If not, we’ll settle for more beer. Also the Weapons team guys think they can set the phasers to shoot through a metal mesh screen and get us grilled cheese. So we’re off to a good start.

nothing sexier than that picture with the italian players on top of eachother after the win and the english ones going through the 5 stages of grief in the back
As threatened, this ship has become my entire personality. I've embarked on a truly insane research frenzy in order to write the many thousands of words of porn fic they deserve, but in the meantime, I noticed when I first discovered them that it's really hard to find any information about their actual interactions. Like, harder than Johnny and Daken, even though that's only subtext and Bobby and Daken is actual (hilariously disastrous) text.
Anyway. In hopes of dragging some of you down with me, I present to you: their whole deal.
Kevin Wada knows what's up.
So those two issues above tragically encompass fully 40% of their interactions ever. They're from the unfortunately short-lived 2017 Iceman series by Sina Grace, and I do recommend reading the whole thing whether you ship this or not, because it's just a lovely series and I'm sorry I slept on it when it originally came out.
You probably already know who Bobby is: Bobby Drake, Iceman, one of the original five X-Men, can turn into ice, he's in the movies but maybe ignore all of that. At this point in time he had very recently (2015) come out as gay after DECADES of subtext, in a story that was highly controversial at the time but which I actually love, fight me. This series is very much about him exploring that aspect of his identity for the first time.
Daken, as covered in the Johnny post, is Daken Akihiro, Wolverine's half-Japanese, canonically bisexual son, with basically the same powers as his dad plus pheromone powers. He was introduced as a villain but around this time was at the very beginning of what would end up being an extremely drastic face turn, mostly because of his relationship with his sister, Laura/X-23. So like...still mostly a villain here but has done a couple of heroic things, and much less likely to slaughter dozens for no reason.
Prior to Iceman (2017), these two had appeared in exactly one comic "together," in that Daken was pretending to be Wolverine on an evil X-Men team led by Norman Osborne, and Bobby and a bunch of other good guys stood on a hill some distance away and watched them. It's basically nothing.
But then we get Iceman #4. At this point, Bobby is a teacher at the Xavier School, and this one extremely obnoxious kid named Zach has run away. They figure out that he's at a very upper crust club in Manhattan, so Bobby puts on a tux and goes looking for him...and that's when he discovers who Zach has run away with:
I say "run away with," but to be clear, there's never any indication of a sexual relationship between Zach, who is 15, and Daken, who is in his 70s, though you could certainly read Zach as having a crush. Anyway it's extremely funny to me that Daken won him over by basically being Kronk's shoulder devil from The Emperor's New Groove. "Don't listen to that guy! He's trying to lead you down the path of righteousness. I'm gonna lead you down the path that rocks." - Daken, probably
Anyway, please enjoy Daken flirting, although admittedly he does that with everyone. We will come back to that incomprehensibly comic book-y line about the Apocalypse seed later. I also don't know why Bobby says he hates Daken when unless I missed an issue they have literally never met, but I do love that you could cut the sexual tension on this page with a knife.
Oop. Bobby's pose in the second panel always makes me laugh, it's so goofy.
His line about the charm powers is interesting, because there's two interpretations here: either Daken was using them and they clearly didn't work for some reason, presumably having to do with Bobby's powers...or Daken wasn't using them, but Bobby assumed he was, presumably because for all his sarcasm, he is actually attracted to Daken. Well, or he's just being annoying on purpose (likely, this is an annoying x annoying ship).
Bobby finds Zach and tries to talk him into coming home, but Zach isn't having it - and because his powers allow him to turn other mutants' powers up or down, Bobby can't force him. Daken thaws out and attacks:
Their fights are so fun. They're both functionally immortal so they always just seem like they're really enjoying cutting loose? (I mean, I say "functionally immortal" but Daken's died like three times. Comics!)
A consistent through-line with these two is that Daken is absolutely no match for Bobby (unless he can make Bobby fall in love with him, apparently) (we'll get there). Look how hard he's fighting! And Bobby's not even trying. (To be fair, Bobby is an Omega-level mutant (lol) which is the most powerful classification. Also it's Bobby's book so he gets to look badass, that's just how it works.)
But also can we talk about Bobby's dialogue in the first panel? "I know that what he's offering you sounds exciting, but Daken will hurt you." Are you talking to Zach or yourself, Bobby? Please recall that at this point in time Bobby has never even kissed a boy.
Zach gets in the helicopter and leaves. Daken tries flirting again, but Bobby isn't having it:
Ouch. Don't feel bad for Daken, though, he's mad but basically unbothered:
"You ruined my suit" lol. Bobby leaning on the snowflake also never fails to make me laugh. Also, Daken's line about charming Bobby seems to imply that he did attempt to use his pheromones earlier and it didn't work, even on Bobby's depowered form, which is interesting.
More flirting! More being extremely mean to each other! More Daken calling Bobby "snowflake!" (He does so four times in this issue alone.) I am eating this issue with a spoon.
Anyway. Daken and Zach go to Madripoor and do crimes, whatever. Meanwhile, over the next few issues, Bobby goes to LA and meets a cute guy named Judah, who is canonically the first man he kisses/sleeps with (if we don't count his time-displaced teen self's boyfriend, which we won't right now because that's confusing). They agree not to try a long distance relationship, but Bobby comes home and immediately starts talking about moving to LA...and Judah impulsively shows up on his lawn:
I SEE YOU, SINA GRACE. I SEE YOU EXPLICITLY PARALLELING BOBBY'S CANON LOVE INTEREST WITH THE SEXY BAD BOY WITH HIS SHIRT UNBUTTONED. I like Judah a lot - he's the best of the NPC queer love interests of which we have so many these days - but come on.
And then we get Iceman #9.
So. Bobby has indeed decided to move to LA for a guy he has known for 48 hours, and the X-Men throw him a going away party even though Kitty loudly tells him he's being a dumbass. (Love u, Kitty.) But! Zach sneaks back into the mansion and lures the students into a death trap in the Danger Room, and the adult X-Men are lured outside to fight fake Purifiers.
Bobby is not supposed to be part of the fight, he's supposed to be going to a nearby bar with the NPC love interests, but he decides to put Judah in his room where he'll be safe. Which of course is when Daken pops up:
"Oh no, I always unbutton my shirt halfway to my navel and put on a shoulder holster that doesn't have anything in it but makes my pecs and biceps look amazing when embarking on a completely idiotic plan to obtain ultimate power." - Daken, again
Of course, Daken's big evil plan involves...messing with Bobby's new boyfriend:
And then he makes a supervillain speech:
So. Okay. Remember in #4, when Daken said something about Bobby having an Apocalypse seed in him? So the very short version is that Apocalypse is an X-Men villain who likes to pick four mutants to be his Horsemen (Death, War, Famine, and Pestilence) and he amps up their powers but also enthralls them to a degree. A couple years before Bobby came out, an evil version of Beast stuck a Death seed in Bobby for safekeeping and he went evil and nearly destroyed the world, in a story that's, uh...not not a metaphor for being miserably closeted, I'll just say that. (In case you're curious, they did eventually get the seed out and um. Mystique ate it. And grew tentacles.)
Anyway, I don't know why Daken says he saw it because a) he and Bobby had never met at that point and b) Daken was dead at the time. (Wolverine drowned him in a puddle. Amazingly, Logan and Daken's relationship is better than Bobby and his dad's.) Maybe he watched it on YouTube or something. The point is, Daken was resurrected with a different Death seed, and it's still inside him.
It is at this point that we learn what all of this nonsense was about: Daken semi-kidnapped Zach because he wants Zach to use his power-enhancing/suppressing abilities to trigger the Death seed, while also suppressing it enough that Daken stays in control. Bobby, who turned into an ice kaiju and nearly destroyed the world when he was all Death-seeded up, is like "That is a terrible plan, do not do that," although I guess in Daken's defense, he's not nearly as dangerous as Bobby even with Death powers. But it's still a dumb plan.
Anyway Daken gets so powerful that his shirt explodes:
Daken's fun because I understand all the signifiers in his design telling me that he's supposed to be really hot but 90% of the time he looks like a dingdong.
Daken stabs Judah, and then tells Zach to give Bobby his powers back, mostly because he thinks it'll be fun to fight Bobby:
"There's my snowflake!" Daken this crush is embarrassing.
The fight continues into the next issue. Zach loses control and thus Daken also loses control, exactly as Bobby warned him he would. They fight some more, with Daken looking even stupider, and hilariously going for the "no one understands you the way I do" angle (they have been in three entire comics together):
Daken asks if Bobby's friends saved him from the Death seed with "fwiendship and miwacles" (no, they did it by Kitty calling him a punk bitch). But that's not gonna work on Daken, no sir!
They sure do like penetrating each other.
And then this happens:
I did not know that kiss was coming and the way I SCREAMED when I turned the page??? Also that little kick is hilarious.
Anyway Daken just...vanishes from the story at this point, all of his everything completely unresolved. Zach is captured. Judah is alive, but he breaks up with Bobby because getting "stabbed by some sexy Asian biker guy" just for hanging around Bobby actually wasn't fun.
I want to point out a couple of things. First, Daken's plan was objectively terrible, because it apparently relied on a 15-year-old never losing his concentration. When was Zach supposed to sleep?
Second, and more importantly, none of this required Bobby's presence. Zach could have triggered the seed in Madripoor. There was absolutely no reason to show up at the mansion and potentially have to fight all the X-Men.
So to recap, Daken:
returned to New York for no reason, coincidentally just in time to stop Bobby from moving across the country with his new boyfriend,
unbuttoned his shirt several extra buttons,
waited until Bobby was isolated and then manhandled him,
kissed and then stabbed his boyfriend,
exploded his own shirt off,
called Bobby his favorite pet name again,
told him no one understands him like Daken does,
let's fight all night together, Bobby,
love won't save me, Bobby,
whatever you do, don't try to save me with the power of love, Bobby!
omg he kissed me 😳
Like, look. I know Daken's "plan" didn't succeed. But Judah broke up with Bobby, so didn't it? DIDN'T IT??
(I also think it's worth asking...did you really have to kiss him to freeze the seed, Bobby? Hm?)
Unfortunately, the Iceman series was cancelled after only one more issue. Bobby and Daken did interact four months later, in X-Men: Blue #30...but it was time-displaced Teen Bobby, not regular Bobby:
This is Daken's version of cute aggression. Anyway, being like 15 does not stop Bobby from being able to effortlessly kick Daken's ass and someone else's at the same time, which is hilarious:
There is only one more actual interaction between these two, in Uncanny X-Men: Winter's End, and once again it's not the present day versions. Bobby's future self, who is a...space ice wizard...of some sort...comes back to the present to warn Bobby that he's going to fuck Daken and it's going to end very poorly:
Future Bobby describes this relationship as "a love that feels so real that it redefines every sense or feeling you had before." Intense. This, by the way, is literally centuries in the future because again, both functionally immortal.
Alas, Future Daken betrays Bobby and the X-Men in yet another bid for ultimate power, and Future Bobby comes back in time to kill his past self to prevent it from happening. Regular Bobby is like "Okay first of all you need to own your own mistakes, and second of all if I want to fuck Daken that's my choice to make." (Okay he doesn't say that but he does say "If I do somehow make your mistakes, just let me live my damn life!") So...never say never, I guess!
There is one other moment to note and that's this very cruel-to-me-personally bait-and-switch in Marauders Annual #1. Daken, who is pretty firmly a good guy at this point (it's 2022, well into the Krakoa era), disappears while on a mission. He's in a very cute relationship with Aurora at this time, so Bishop and Tempo ask her if she's seen him:
And on the next page:
I'm not going to try to explain everything that's happening on this page but the point is it's set up to make you think Aurora is talking about Bobby, when actually she's talking about Somnus, the guy in the last couple of panels, who was Daken's lover a million years ago. Sigh.
And that is the extent of Bobby and Daken's appearances together, not counting several crowd scenes and pinups in Pride specials where they always seem to be as far apart from each other as possible. 😭
But none of that changes what's important here, which is that Bobby kicked Daken's ass one time and it got Daken so embarrassingly down bad that he tried to take over the world about it. Sexy scary immortal knifehands bisexual assassin absolutely losing his cool over some dorky little accountant from Long Island, I can't.
ANYWAY EVERYONE COME SHIP THIS WITH ME PLEASE AND THANK YOU 🧊❤️🔪
