Tony: "Must. Save. Steve"
Hiya folks!
Was wondering about something the other day (for a fic I'm making abd because wondering makes me stop thinking about the, ya know, Civil War)...
I read in a couple of fics and stuff saying Tony often sacrifices himself to save Steve. The one comic canon incident I remember is when
electrocuted himself to stop his armour from crushing Cap.
It's really one of the most defining characteristics I can think of Tony, that he both thinks so high of Steve and so little of himself that the idea of sacrificing himself for Steve is no big deal.
Was wondering if there was any other such times for Tony? And any thoughts? :-)

#3 in panda's comment is the aftermath of the whole The Crossing mess. (Which either leads into or comes out the Heroes Reborn awfulness, I can't remember which.) Tony has been mind controlled by a bad guy into murdering some people and bringing on a big horrible doom. Right at the end he breaks free of the mind control and figures out that he can stop the big evil if he sacrifices his own life. When he suggests this, all the other heroes more or less go, "Okay, you do that" and Cap, despite the terrible things Tony did under the mind control, is all, "No! Tony!" Of course, Tony does it anyway, and dies cradled in Cap's arms.
It's #44 on the slashy moments list, in case you didn't find it there already. *grins*

Scarily, pretty much everyone male looks like that in 90's comics. It was the era of Liefeld, after all.
