Crazy!Tony time.

Since I've been back-tracking in Marvel Iron Man/Avengers comics, I've come to a conclusion: Tony is completely fucking crazy!

Also, since I have a thing for the crazies, I'm writing a fic, and I would like your opinion.

To me it appears Tony has some kind of dissociative order.  For the purpose of the fic, I'm using a combination of MDD/Schizo/PTSD/Depression. Yes, I've very mean to Tony.

My questiion to you is, if Tony had other personalities, who do you think they would be?  What would they be like?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Camel.

Yeah, I can't disagree. I can see how I could get from here to there if I wanted to write a story where I was inflicting him with it, but I can't say that he suffers from DID now.

Self-harm, on the other hand? Oh yes! And some emotional detachment ("You stopped his heart!" "Why are you so upset? I started it again.").

Self harm is probably one of Tony's calling cards. And yes on the detachment. He can;t escape from his life / job / mistakes physically, so he must distance himself emotionally, or else risk being overwhelmed and lost in his own sea of misery and self pity / loathing.

But what he truly never understood was that if he HAD showed all of that internal hurt, Steve totally would have cuddled him better (hopefully in the nude); much to the delight of the fangirls.

I think that's the lesson we have to take away from this, yes. :)

But that is why we are here at this comm. To ensure that, at least in our own personal continuity, this sort of thing definitely happens. ;)
