Marvel Team Up V3 issues 1-6: IMAGE HEAVY.

[simmysim.livejournal.com]

This is one of my all-time favorite comics ever, very full of Steve/Tony, but as I mention it in passing to people, I realize it's not all that well known. So, stop me if you've heard this one.



ONE MORNING the Fantastic Four eats breakfast, as they tend to do, and their home is busted in by a screaming cloaked figure:



as screaming cloaked figures tend to do.

Because all attempts of tricking you into believing this is regular business would fail miserably, as I'm pulling it out for selective reading, I'll just cut to the chase, after a grand battle:



HOLY FUCKING BALLS AMIRITE.



IAMRITE.

Tony's beautiful face what happened to it tony





He beats them pretty bad and oh man this is the worst. Just the worst. There's no way it could get any more worst than it



DDDDDDDD:



The power source he detected is a character we'll meet later, who is currently being attacked by the Hulk, and Tony goes to save him!



Wowie, maybe he's not all that bad? He's still a Tony Stark we know at his core, a good and decent



DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD: oh frick no we were right the first time, he is ugly and evil

So he gets the kid (who is a total snot, I'm not sure if any of the scans I'm going to show you properly details it, but he is)



I see you eyeing that phone young man perhaps you are thinking of calling a certain teacher of yours named Peter Parker who you figured out is Spiderman. That would be a wise move.





MEANWHILE X-23 happened to be staring at the right screen when the blip of energy was detected at the mansion. Which leads to:



Der's a fight

JUST THEN
Cap and Natasha are on the Helicarrier and learn about what's happening. Cap's reaction is pretty non-existent, but here's some delicious man meat anyways:


Nnngkjfdgkj look at that back, jesus

lol AND THEN

omgomgomg




lol right to the face, goddamn

SPEAKING OF FACES gkljadgfkl;da









LOL D:



noble last words.





Second favorite page in the whole thing~



First favorite:



A date <3<3<3<3 AAAND that's the end of the first Evil Tony adventure! I was going to include the second one in this post, but this has gotten kind of ridiculously long, so I'll do that like tomorrow or something. : )


Note: This is a lot of scans, but all this was over the course of 6 issues, so I think I did pretty good?

I think Thing's WTF face in the third scan made the whole thing ;0;

Also, Tony's 'I COULD HARVEST HIS ORGANS!' line wins.

So Steve dying makes Tony go nuts in all universes! Good to know.

[schmevil.livejournal.com]

But does Steve and Tony getting married stop wars in all universe? I must know!

[rum-and-cookies.livejournal.com]

That's one seriously homoerotic pose in the part where Cap leaps in to save the day.

[schmevil.livejournal.com]

I think it's the boots that seal the deal.

Also!

[rum-and-cookies.livejournal.com]

Tony's SMIRK on the last page! gufugrbljkbtphzuBUH.

Can I make icons? Pretty please?

Re: Also!

[simmysim.livejournal.com]

LOL dude help yourself, I did not even scan these suckers in, the most I did was upload xD

But yes I agree :))

[kijikun.livejournal.com]

Also: does anyone think Sue gets jealous of all the cloaked mask wearing men that break into her home and yell "RICHARDS!" at Reed all the time?

1) Jetpack Steve!
2) Nice metal miniskirt, Tony
3) I hate that 'just a kid' thing. Keep your sodding kids off the battlefield if you're worried about them that much! If it's a toddler attempting to slit my throat, I'm still going to punt it.
4) Poor Spidey. No love! That's cold, Steve.
5) Spare parts eeew.
6) "My Steve Rogers" awww.
7) My Steve Rogers is a living legend, only he's dead? I think that just makes him the usual kind of legend.

1 YESSS Check out the cover: http://i43.tinypic.com/2h4i2k9.png
2 I kept thinking, "well, it's supposed to go with a cape..." and then "well wait that would look even gayer..."
3 what's wrong with you you monster. I've found replacing the PG safe words for their obvious intended meaning makes these comics a lot better. Like, Tony is fond of "Holy Jumping Hannahs!" in battle, obviously supposed to be "HOLY FUCKING HELL!" which is much more humorous.
uh
point
OH YEAH so obviously they were calling him FUCKER. there. which makes me lol. so lol, how are you val? we haven't spoken in a while
5. iawtcccccc
6. There's no affection like psychopathic delusion <3<3<3
7. lol i noticed that too, quite a silly mistake to make when you're giving hints about a character's backstory and motivation.

[elspethdixon.livejournal.com]

"My Steve Rogers" awww.

Between that and his reaction upon seeing Steve, I'm forced to conclude that even evil mirror!Tony is/was in love with Steve.

Maybe Steve's death was what made him go evil, like that episode of Superman: TAS where you see the alternate future where Lois Lane dies and Clark goes evil from grief and ends up married to ruling Metropolis with Lex.

[posyvanilla.livejournal.com]

Evil!Tony's "Child, please" is the best thing ever.

[simmysim.livejournal.com]

LOL YES. The upper crust translation of "Bitch, please"

Wait, what is Tony's health status at this point?

[hohaiyee.livejournal.com]

I find it funny that Tony mentioned spare liver before spare heart. Drinky Drinky time.

You know, it'll be really cool if fake blood gets as good as the real thing, so much that it can be used for recreational use. As in, you get to drink as much as you want, but once you get drunk, all you have to do is replace your blood with alcohol-free blood! Party forever! I got this idea from Ray Bradbury's book...

Re: Wait, what is Tony's health status at this point?

[simmysim.livejournal.com]

It's when he has Extremis I'm almost 95% positive....... YES, the very first Meet Up issue was written in Jan 2005 and the first Extremis comic was Jan 2005. So he was in the process of, or near to getting Extremis then.

The evil twin who didn't strike back

[dorothy1901]

First: Evil!Tony! Eeeee! *vibrates with happiness*

Second: According to the internetz, this story came out a full year before Civil War. The whole time that everyone was running around going crazy, and Steve was hiding out in SHIELD safe houses, and Tony was doing that stuff, and Maria Hill was doing that other stuff... the whole time, SHIELD has got a second Tony Stark just lying there like a tuna on ice, and they ignore him? Or, if you want to be meta about it: Marvel ignores him? This is not some minor, throwaway character, guys! This is Evil Tony Stark, boy genius!

Third: There are two Tony Starks. Really. Canonically. Where's the slash?

Oooohhhh. I hadn't thought of that. *_*

YES PLEASE.

Re: The evil twin who didn't strike back

[simmysim.livejournal.com]

But oh, Marvel wasn't finished with him yet! (http://community.livejournal.com/cap_ironman/377179.html)

Also lol IDK SLASH D: his horrible deformity is kind of a turn off.

The missed opportunities are enough to make the baby Jeebus Cable cry.

They presumably still have him.

Ans when I say they I guess I mean... Osborne. D:

[elspethdixon.livejournal.com]

How could I have been ignorant of the glory that is this comic? And the fact that it has a sequel?

Oh Marvel, just when I think you're dead to me forever, your back canon always delivers another piece of beautiful crack.

[simmysim.livejournal.com]

I'm kinda flabbergasted that you've never read this! It really had the feel of one of your fics to me, lol, I just assumed you were aware of it!

Go get the whole thing nownownownow

[adrian-chan.livejournal.com]

Yes! I HAVE read this one! This is one of my favs. I especially like the part with Wolverine and Spiderman in the beginning.

And no one would listen to X-23...

XD

This was a really great issue.
