>>97250770Not that anon but nah, you don't get it. Tony's the type of guy who wants to have the best tech, and nobody else. If you read the 5 Nightmares arc, he comes across as a literal villain concerned with his pride, ego and profit rather than a hero. His 5 Nightmares are:
>#1: Alcoholic Relapse>#2: Cheap Iron Man Technology. That his technology becomes easily and affordably replicable. This is why he never sells any of it, despite using spin-offs from it to perform world-changing breakthroughs in engineering and medicine - for those he deems worthy, but never for the world at large.
>#3: Outsourced Iron Man Technology. That someone besides him or Rhodes starts using it. He deliberately makes it as complicated as possible - and (ab)uses the resources of Stark Industries and S.H.I.E.L.D. to their fullest to maintain 24/7 surveillance on every user of every suit of Power Armor on the planet - to deter this.
>#4: Disposable Iron Man Technology. Cheap and replaceable like a cell phone. Unremarkable in every way. Common. Banal. It breaks? Toss it. He tries to justify it with general security paranoia, but he acknowledges that his monopolization of the technology makes him feel special.
>#5: Obsolete Iron Man Technology. This is the one he hates the most. That the person who makes Iron Man technology cheap, easy to use, and disposable wouldn't be him. Really kind of inevitable because he just stated that he refuses to do those things.
