* AdaptationDisplacement: In the cartoon, the Mandarin kidnapped both Tony Stark and Yinsen. Years later, in ''WesternAnimation/TheInvincibleIronMan'' and the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, the Mandarin (indirectly) is involved with their kidnapping, which [[AdaptationOriginConnection led to the creation of Iron Man]].
* CantUnHearIt: Before RDJ made the role his own in live-action, Creator/RobertHays' voice as the Golden Avenger was the voice you'd hear when reading the comics. Same with either Creator/JamesAvery or Dorian Harewood as Rhodey.
* CompleteMonster: "Distant Boundaries": One-shot villain Dark Aegis outstripped any other villain in sheer monstrosity. A foe of Tony Stark, Dark Aegis hijacked one of Tony's satellites designed to destroy asteroids and intended to [[EarthShatteringKaboom turn its firepower upon the Earth]]. Tony managed to stop him and launched Dark Aegis into the depths of space, with him eventually landing on the planet Elysian. Drunk with his immense power and [[AGodAmI declaring himself a god]], Dark Aegis nuked the planet and slaughtered its inhabitants for being "grotesquely less than human". Promising Titanium Man upgraded weapons in exchange for luring Iron Man to the planet, Dark Aegis [[WeCanRuleTogether tried to convince Tony to join him]], promising him godhood in the process. Dark Aegis demonstrated his power by destroying two of Elysian's moons and requested Tony's help in destroying the planet's dual-suns. Titanium Man [[HeelFaceTurn ended up helping Stark and Rhodes fight Dark Aegis]] and [[HeroicSacrifice later gave his life to stop him for good]], as Titanium Man found that no weapon was worth the price of letting Dark Aegis live.
* EvilIsSexy: Hypnotia.
* GrowingTheBeard: Season two is generally agreed to be a ''vast'' improvement over the first season due to being more serious in tone and more faithful to the original comics.
* HarsherInHindsight: In "The Grim Reaper Wears A Teflon Coat", Tony shows a simulation of his Grim Reaper fighter jet attacking New York, complete with it blowing up the World Trade Center. Later in the same episode, the Mandarin plans to use the Grim Reaper to blow up the Pentagon and demonstrates by having a model of the plane crash into a scale replica of the building.
* InferredHolocaust: The events of the two-part series finale. The Mandarin's anti-technology mist temporarily covers New York, shutting off anything that requires electricity to work, with the same thing later happening to Hong Kong. The viewer isn't really shown the extent of the damage caused by the mist, but such an attack likely would've resulted in many deaths, as hospitals and traffic lights would've been without power. And that's not even getting into what would've happened to any airplanes or helicopters unlucky enough to have been flying over the cities when the mist was released...
* MisaimedMarketing: The DVD release for the series mentions "Whiplash" on the back, probably to cash-in on ''Film/IronMan2''. Granted, [[IHaveManyNames Blacklash/Whiplash]] did appear on the show, but anyone expecting the MagnificentBastard that is Ivan Vanko will be disappointed because not only is [[ComicBook/IronMan Mark Scarlotti]] not the BigBad, but he's one of the Mandarin's many lackeys.
* StockFootageFailure: The scene where the Bruce Banner Hulks out in "Hulk Buster" was actually recycled from the character's prior guest appearance in the ''Fantastic Four'' animated series. This is why Banner's outfit suddenly changes with no explanation, as well as why the Hulk's design looks drastically different (especially his hairstyle).
** Constantly in the first season -- pretty much any time Tony armored up, no matter where he was, it would cut to the stock footage of him armoring up in his office.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Hypnotia, despite clearly being one of the only competent henchmen the Mandarin has coupled with a snarky sense of humor as well as her interest in Tony Stark while Dreadknight and Blacklash pine for her, was not fully utilized as a character. She in fact disappeared for most of the original episodes of the first season, even though she was the first of the main cast to actually appear ''in'' the first episode.
** MODOK's sympathetic backstory in the first season -- working for the Mandarin in hopes of being returned to his normal human body after the Red Ghost turned him into what he was -- was completely ditched in the second season in favor of making him a comic-relief villain. It's a shame since his origin was perhaps one of the few compelling parts of the first season, and could've easily led to a HeelFaceTurn with MODOK joining Stark Enterprises.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Despite being broadcast alongside a ''Fantastic Four'' series, the only crossover we got was IM cameoing as part of ComicBook/TheAvengers in a couple of ''FF'' episodes. (Perhaps if both shows had gotten third seasons, we could've gotten such a crossover.)

** Tony himself also questions his motives when his memories get wiped, and his teammates help revive him from a coma. He reads about all he did during Civil War, since his backup memories only went up to a certain period of time and certainly not about the Pro-Registration side. While Tony asserts that he would have logically gone down the same path if he had all the facts then as he did now, he looks haunted while looking at the digital and print newspapers.

While recuperating, he insisted on finding out what he did against a revived Steve Rogers's wishes.

* Tony is capable of doing questionable things trying to help people, and a lot of his ''Civil War'' appearances have him doing this (the cloned Thor and Negative Zone camps being the most notable of them), but some fanworks ''really'' like to play up Tony as a reprehensible dictator who would cross more lines than the Punisher to enforce what he calls justice, even after it all came to an end.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Riri is an ''extremely'' polarizing character. To her detractors, she's a one-girl SpotlightStealingSquad that took over the Iron Man title despite not properly establishing herself as a hero and an abrasive character on top of that. To her fans, she's a smart and likable character who always faces her challenges with great bravery.
** Issue #8 of her solo series gives Riri's backstory. She expected her kindergarten teacher to brush off her ambitions only for the teacher to encourage Riri in her dream. In response, Riri stares at her teacher as if she was upset over not being discriminated against. The divide comes down to either finding this plotline a good subversion of the usual "you'll never amount to anything" bad guy trope and young Riri was just being [[WrongGenreSavvy confused about why said trope wasn't in play]], or finding this scene ridiculous for making Riri come across like she actually ''wants'' to be discriminated against to prove a point, which isn't helped by a scene where she mocks a NASA secretary over the phone when they (rightfully) assume the random 12-year-old who called can't yet qualify for a position.

For context, the comic showed Riri telling her teacher that she wants to be a scientist and the teacher encouraging her.

This was magnified after Issue #8 showed her as a kid in kindergarten came out, it became a common half-joking critique among Riri detractors to present her as a "spiteful sociopath" who would come across much better as a character if she became a tragic hero-turned-villain. For context, the comic showed Riri telling her teacher that she wants to be a scientist and the teacher encouraging her.

* OlderThanTheyThink: The often-criticized "Queen of Latveria" story echoes an arc (''Authoritative Action'') from Mark Waid's ''Fantastic Four'' run where the FF took over Latveria. The Fantastic Four ran Latveria for a longer period of time than Riri did. Like Riri, their motive was to improve the lives of Latverian citizens, and like Riri they ran into disapproval from SHIELD. (But not from fans, oddly enough).
** One criticism of Riri is that she has not been properly established in ''Iron Man'' comics before taking the mantle. In reality, she got the same amount of set-up as several well-known legacy characters in superhero comic books like [[ComicBook/{{Thunderstrike}} Eric Masterson]], [[ComicBook/GreenLanternANewDawn Kyle Rayner]], [[ComicBook/TheDeathOfSuperman Conner Kent and John Henry Irons]], [[ComicBook/BlueBeetle Jaime Reyes]] or [[Comicbook/BatmanNoMansLand Cassandra Cain]], all of whom has either been introduced in the stories ending with them taking the mantle or while they're already replacing their predecessor.
** Even the criticisms that she got into heroics for less-than-noble intentions (which is a ''creative'' interpretation of her character) seem to ignore how many other superheroes, including successors, had less-than-heroic origins. Tony Stark himself was ''intentionally'' a prick when first introduced, [[ComicBook/AntMan Eric O'Grady's Ant-Man]] was a genuine sociopath who only used the Ant-Man suit for selfish gains, ComicBook/BoosterGold was a glory hound only seeking fame, ComicBook/{{Stargirl}} was a teenaged brat trying to spite her step-dad, ComicBook/WallyWest spent his early days as Franchise/TheFlash charging people for saving them, etc. Like, in comparison, her abrasive personality is pretty tame.
* OvershadowedByControversy: The announcement of award-winning prose writer Eve Ewing on the ''Ironheart'' solo series drew a lot of vitriol on Twitter, due to her lack of experience writing comics. Several big name writers (including Creator/NeilGaiman) came to her defense, pointing out that they were also hired by Big 2 comics without prior experience. This in turn led to people arguing with Gaiman and [[InsaneTrollLogic insisting that he was wrong about his own career]].
* PortmanteauCoupleName: Vivheart for Riri/Viv Vision in ''[[ComicBook/Champions2016 Champions]]'' and Shuriri for Riri/Shuri. The latter, amusingly enough, has been coined in-universe by Silhouette and Okoye to knock Shuri down a peg.
* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: As mentioned frequently here on this page, Riri was an extremely polarizing character upon her introduction, with the main criticisms being her often abrasive personality and inadequate set-up as a decent hero. Under the direction of other writers (including the aforementioned Jim Zub and Eve Ewing), opinions toward her softened considerably, with some former detractors stating Brian Michael Bendis just didn't do the best job with setting her up.
* RonTheDeathEater: This is very common in fanfiction because of the "Invading Latveria" story arc. It's often pointed out that in her intent to both arrest and embarrass Lucia von Bardas, she conquered a sovereign nation without thinking anything of the potential ramifications. Naturally, fanfiction interprets her as some iron-fisted ruler.
** Also notably a lot of the aforementioned issues noted about; as written, she's an awkward and somewhat abrasive kid who's too smart for her own good but not mature enough to use it, so the interpretation she's a sociopath is a ''massive'' case of this.

* IronWoobie: War Machine / James "Rhodey" Rhodes. Was literally this when he was a cyborg, but even without the enhancements he counts as a straight example. As Tony's best friend, he's had to put up with a lot of Tony's more questionable decisions, all the while trying to live up to Tony's general reputation as Iron Man, constantly feeling like he didn't really deserve the power and trust he was given, made worse by the improperly calibrated brainwave controls causing him mental issues. At one point his sister was killed, a war buddy (who was also the husband of his childhood best friend) betrayed him and used his armour for villainy (AFTER he'd had to face two other such friends in their own villainous identities years before), then later he was caught in a terrorist attack that blew off his arms, legs, and half his face, and was ForcedToWatch as a friend of his was executed by one of the terrorists who taunted him all the while. When rebuilt as a cyborg, his upgrades came with the downside of connecting him to a database that made him see every horrific war crime recorded in recent years (including the torture, beating, rape, and experimentation performed on the above mentioned childhood best friend), with a photographic memory causing him to be unable to ''stop'' seeing these images, turning him homicidal from the trauma. And then, there's his family being targeted by a Domestic Terrorist group who try to force him to kill the former president, resulting in his dad's death.

* UnfortunateImplications: When Rhodey returned to life after ''Civil War II'', he suffered a clear case of PTSD relating to dying in the War Machine suit. As a result, he refused to don the armour again, instead piloting the Manticore mech with regular pilot controls. It was later revealed that his PTSD was a result of a defect in how his body was recreated, and it was ironed out completely so that he could be War Machine again. As can be expected, the implication that a veteran's completely legitimate PTSD from '''being killed''' is just something that can be ironed out and is a "defect" [[https://screenrant.com/marvel-iron-man-tony-stark-ptsd-comic/ did not go over well]].

** This is further solidified when Tony begins angsting about relapsing after being brainwashed into drinking...in a VR game. Granted, exactly how advanced the VR system Tony designed is does run far beyond what's currently realistically possible, but no alcohol actually entered his system, so while he had an artificial taste and possibly a recreation of the electrical impulses it causes, there's nothing that should physically cause him to crave more. Relapsing ''is'' genuinely scary for alcoholics with as bad an experience as Tony, but it does come off as him grossly over-reacting.
