It Can Be An After-School Special!

Sunset Bain...meeeeet Chris Hansen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Hansen#To_Catch_a_Predator)!

...and Obie or his stand-in, emotionally manipulates Tony into becoming Iron Man, and maybe tricks him into hitting one of the good guys or somehow setting him up for a fall even though he's wee. Tony accidentally does kill one of the good guys, if we want the MADD angst level of PSA, or just ALMOST, if we don't want it that dark.

Obie gets busted. Agent Fury pulls Tony aside to tell him that "Kid, you have potential", but Fury quite possibly has learned from Bucky (maybe the brainwashing wouldn't have took with someone more grounded, stable and more experienced). Put Tony under the Baxer program alongside Reed Richards.

Jarvis is elected regent, and he'll have a long road ahead of him in mentoring Tony who will have guilt-guilt-guilt from killing or almost killing one of the good guys.

Kids! Robots might be cool, but leave the superheroing to the grown ups!

the weapons manufacturerr part? the nearly dying from your own weapon in a warzone part? the drinking, business and the women stories?

That, and also the periodic involvement in politics and world affairs part.

Trading all that in for teenage angst? No thanks.

I wish I could say you're wrong, but you're probably not.
