1* During vol 5, Tony has travelled into space, and saves some aliens from an attack. Their leader, a [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe good-looking woman]] starts making the moves on him. Tony removes his helmet, and she suddenly freaks out. Why? She thinks his facial hair is disgusting.
2* In the same arc, Tony winds up in a fight with ComicBook/DeathsHead (the original version). Tony thinks the fight is unfair, especially since he was told the fight would be "as nature finds you". The problem?
3-->'''Tony:''' ''You're a thirty-foot tall robot!''
4-->'''Death's Head:''' And that's how nature made me.
5** Prior to this, Death's Head says he's not cheating. He's not even using his flamethrower or rocket launchers.
6* The first arc of ''Invincible Iron Man'' Vol. 2 has some hilarious moments.
7** #3 has Tony having a reluctant ComicBook/DoctorStrange perform a high-five with him.
8--->'''Tony''': Awesome facial hair bros!
9--->'''Doctor Strange''': I hate you.
10** #4 has Tony's reminders to himself, telling him he can't cancel visiting sick kids at the hospital again.
11--->'''Tony hologram''': I don't care if ComicBook/{{Thanos}} is marrying Pepper in Times Square and Justin Hammer is giving the bride away, you do not cancel. I don't care if the ComicBook/ScarletWitch says "no more Tonys" and-
12** Then there's Tony interacting with a particularly smart-mouthed kid named Max. Especially when he offers to let him try his armor on.
13--->'''Max''': I'm too small for that.
14--->'''Tony''': Hmm, you're right. I'm just now noticing how insanely short you are.
15--->'''Max''': I'm eight.
16--->'''Tony''': Don't tell me your problems.
17** And of course there's the sight of ComicBook/DoctorDoom eating potato chips. Not the kind of thing you'd expect from him....
18* After absorbing the Power Cosmic during a fight with Korvak, Tony decides to use this gift to help humanity. True to his ego, he decides to give the people of New York intelligence equal to his own, calling them all "stark-level super geniuses". While the other heroes try to stop this and tell Tony why this is not a great or thoughtful idea, Reed Richards complains that by doing this Tony actually ended up making him dumber.
19** Shortly after, the most obvious downside to this plan becomes apparent when the city is suddenly terrorized various D-list joke villains like Big Wheel, now upgrading their tech with their newfound intelligence.
