Re: Yeah

Oh god, the Crossing. After that whole fiasco with Onslaught, when the heroes all returned alive (Heroes Return), he said he actually remembered being all three versions of Tony--himself, the teenager, and the man he was on Counter-Earth (who was an interestingly messed-up gent in his own right).

And then he court-martialed himself, but didn't seem satisfied with the result (everyone was very understanding and let him off the hook), and that's when he created the telepath-blockers.

So while they did give him a bit of reaction (itself somewhat unusual in comics), they never really went through with it. And the next time they ran into Kang, I sort of expected him to have a Moment, but he didn't react at all.

*cough* Anyway, I told you I was kind of fascinated with it. But the Crossing was the end of volume 1 of the Iron Man comic, and Heroes' Return was the beginning of volume 3, so that's a lot more material than Rumiko's death, which happened near the end of that run. Granted there's some very satisfying stuff in there--Ty Stone and the sentient armor, off the top of my head--but still. That's over 80 issues (1998 to 2005).

By the way, I hunted that stuff up on this link to all the Iron Man covers and their publication dates (http://www.coverbrowser.com/covers/iron-man/7), which might be useful to you.
