Doctor Strange
Warning : freebooter for Midnight Suns # 3
Tony Stark ’s new superhero identity makes him a better soul than he ever was while he wasIron Man- and it has everything to do with the responsibilities granted toDoctor Strange . Stark is very much a devoid spirit in comics and the MCU ; though he is ultimately still a good person , he has made marvellous error thanks to his hedonistic , unforesightful - sighted ways . Midnight Suns # 3reveals that Tony ’s flaws may have everything to do with becoming Iron Man andnot the Sorcerer Supreme of Earth .
Iron Man was deliberately created by Stan Lee to be an unlikeable lineament , specially think the sixties readership at the prison term . Tony Stark was a weapons producer , a war profiteer , and a hedonic , patriotic capitalist at a sentence when America ’s flaws were becoming more and more apparent to the public . While Stark eventually endeared himself to the readership thanks to a fruition of his negative ways and a desire to change for the good , his biggest foe has always been himself : event likeDemon in a Bottleprove that Iron Man ’s self - destructive behavior is exceedingly difficult to fly the coop .

In a way , cede Tony even more responsibility extend him to become a far good person as a Doctor Strange analog .
This Stark , like all Starks , desire to doctor things - but the difference of opinion between him and the Iron Man of 616 is the latter ’s desire to lick problem that only exist in his idea ( seeCivil Waror the case ofIron Man 2022for examples ) .
