he took it into his own hands to control what should and cannot be controlled. The world went through something like that before and it bite everyone in the ass so why do it again.

personally i believe everyone has the right to be and do what they want. since karma does exist i belive if a person decides to be evil their actions will be dealt with in time

The CW he tried to be well god and he lost well not really but in my mind he lost the will of a friend and his friends as a whole see him in a different way as a pantywaist who thinks his money will save his ass everytime he gets in trouble

Boken says:

"he got the act passed haveing spidey reviel his secret identity screwing up spideys life. now he's a fugitive. how is he not a douche bag."

he did that because he thought it was thr right thing

it may have been the wrong thing but he thought it was the right thing. and, isn't spidey on Iron Man's side?

im not blaming him for Spidys current grief it was his decision as u said but what he thought was right was down right wrong it got alot of people hurt and many more killed

so, your saying Boken, he was a douche bag for doing what he thought was right?

ok, well, if you help an old lady cross the street because you thought it was right, you're a douche bag? that's pretty much what your saying. he did what he thoght was right therefore hes a dusche bag.

ok hold on

Cryo: i never said that in any way i said what he thought was right wasnt well this isnt going to sound smart but, it wasnt thought through. if he thought it was right he should have thought that alot of people were gonna get hurt or die from what he was going to do.

D: i never said Spidy wasny a man i said he made his decision

You are so stubborn, Boken! You won't listen to any reason! What Spidey did, he did on his own will. Iron Man was doing what he thought was right. If you thought you were doing what was right, wouln't you stick to it?

lol sorry if you thought I meant you DC, I meant Boken.

oh ok

what ever floats your boat mates

but when tony gets his ass handed to him (once again) i will be the one laughing in the background

I think he's a great character. He's one of my favorite characters. Read Matt Fraction's stuff and you'll see what I mean. I really like Iron Man a lot and he gets such a negative rep just because of what happened during Civil War.

Well this thread was made back when Civil War was fairly new.....

chyea. he hits his women in a drunken rage. haha

"His actions during the Civil War would have me agree with you though his reacent downfall has changed my opinion, but over all he is just a flawed man trying to do the best he can, just like everyone elce. "

No. 

Iron Man isn't a douchebag.Everything he does is for the greater good he just doesn't always know the right thing to do.

@HaloKing343: 
 
   Even when he cloned Thor and used his clone as a weapon, but let the world think the murdering Thor-Clone was the REAL Thor? Then, when Thor returned...actually attacked and threatened him?
 
   Even when he paid a super villain (Titanium Man) to attack him publicly to garner sympathy for his Regestration policy?
 
   Even when he put numerious supervillains into positions of power?
 
   Even when he had a secret prison built - packed full of captured but uncharged heroes and villains - and when it was attacked by Blastarr...as opposed to launching a rescue mission to save the people (some of who were heroes), simply let the guards leave and closed the Negative Zone gate, turning the population of the prison over to Blastarr? 
 
   Think about it. There are a LOT of dead and mutilated heroes out there, who are dead because of Tonys stupid policies. He did indeed have the best intentions...but he and Reed Richards arrogance backfired and blew up in their faces. Norman Osborn is in power right now because Tony created the system...then had no checks and balences in place to run it without their direct control, which implies that he expected to sit in the big chair forever. 
 
   A 'douchebag"? No. An arrogant, shortsighted fool? Yes indeed. It doesn't matter if he had good intentions. Tony Stark was a fool for thinking that he and Reed alone could solve the worlds problems. He's currently in a bad situation, but he put himself there through his own bad decisions.  
 
   But all in all, that's less HIS fault, and more failure to understand the character. Under a better writer, Tony Stark wouldn't have tried this stupid Regestration.
