Oh, yeah. Please stop talking about Iron Man all over me. I hate that shit. Can't we talk about ponies instead?
Meanwhile, in the real world:
That would probably make his head explode. No, seriously, it would. I don't think his moral education has prepared him for that at all, and if anything, having Obediah as his first real battle as Iron Man is only going to make it harder for him to think of people who disagree with him as being legitimate. I mean, dude, Obediah was pretty much a Tony Stark Soul Destroyer Special. If you want to make sure a dude sees stuff in black-and-white, with-me-against-me, it's hard to think of a first confrontation that'll do it more than something where the villain is not only out to kill the guy and people he loves pregent what he wants to do, but he's even fucking with Stark's sense of identity.
