Iron Man: Metamorphosis Oddity

Tony: I know you’re intelligent, you ask the right questions—and you’ve got the most incredible brown eyes I’ve seen today. Lunch? Half-an-hour?”
“Ladies and gentlemen of the press – welcome! Today we begin a great adventure. One which I fervently hope will profit us both, as well as the very planet we live upon!

Blizzard: Geez! How many cops they got here? Ain’t no one out chasin’ the bad guys?
Backlash: We are the bad guys, stupid!
Tony (thinking): My Iron Man armor’s in the trunk of the Mercedes – out in the parking lot! And without it I’ve got as much chance of stopping those assassins as Satan has of being elected pope!
Blizzard (to Tony Stark): Back off old man! ‘less you want me to turn your eyeballs into ice cubes!

Iron Man: Stark Wars Chapter 2 : Glitch
"C'mon get serious! Bullets from your wrist blaster can't hurt me!" - Iron Man
Iron Man(thinking): My whole reason for being here is to save lives! I can't be responsible for the loss of one, even if it means failure!
Tony (thinking): Sure would've liked to have stopped by my house on the coast. Copped a shower... some rest... maybe a few holes of golf.
"Be over soon as I "lava" the grease off my hands!" -Rhodey
Iron Man: Stark Wars Chapter 3: The Last Mandroid

Tony: I’m just realizing the toll this game is taking – and how long I’m going to have to pay for it.

Tony: I know. Even though I’ve never wanted a drink more --- I’ve never needed one less. Let’s go.
Rhodes (thinking): I don’t like it. Not a bit. The way Tony had this place fixed up like a hospital with heart monitors, whole blood, the works. He must be expectin’ to get hurt. Bad!
Iron Man (thinking): So, that’s Firepower. He’s big. And ugly. Can’t expect mercy from him. So I’m not going to show any!
Iron Man: Hurt. *K-kof* Inside! H-hard to… breathe! *Kaff Kaff* ribs… c-caved in! Tasting… blood!
Iron Man: Stark Wars Chapter 7: Reborn Again
“And come to think of it I’m not much better off! Three cracked ribs. A sprained arm, a knee that may never be the same. To say nothing of a face that looks like it went 40 rounds with Ali in his prime--- and several pints of someone else’s AIDS-Tested blood running through my veins!” –Tony
“I may be a dreamer but I’m also a realist.” –Tony

Iron Man #284
[In this issue Tony "dies" this is what the morning news has to say...]
Reporter: Thank you, Pete. In a brief statement released today Stark Enterprises press liaison Marcy Pearson confirmed the passing of C.E.O Anthony Stark. Stark widely acknowledged as one of the twentieth century's great technical innovators --- described as some as a, "Modern-day Thomas Edison"-- succumbed this morning to an as-yet unspecified malady. Known as much for his proximity to scandal and controversy as for his undeniable brilliance, Stark had not been seen in public for some weeks. Often compared to corporate mascot Iron Man, Stark had often been described by employees as "The man of Iron"--- in fact his detractors pointed out as evidence of his obsessive unbending demand for perfection, often at the expense of more humanitarian concerns. The fate of multinational Stark Enterprises--- not to mention Stark's substantial personal fortune --- has yet been announced. Rumors that Stark has tested positive for the HIV Virus, though widely circulated, are at this time not ---"
[And it stops there because Jim Rhodes punches a hole through his television]
Woman: It's an inferno in there! There's got to be a better way!

+Rhodes phone number is 555-6782
+Rhodes answering machine says: Yo. Leave a message after the stupid noise.
Tony (thinking): Enough already. Wallowing in self-pity isn't going to accomplish anything. And I've got things to do.
Tony (thinking): So, here I go again. Engaged in that alchemy that transforms imagination into tooled iron and printed silicon.
Tony (thinking): But then, what's life without a little danger to keep things interesting?
