Canon Resources Needed!

[fictivore.livejournal.com]

Okay, comm! A bunny might have gently gnawed on my digits but for that I am desperately in need of being pointed to certain instances of canon. Please help!

So, we all know Tony can be a bit of an asshole to people around him. Can people please refer me to (preferably with issue number but just the name/description of the particular arc works as well) specific instances of him being an asshole to Pepper / Rhodey / Avengers / other superheroes / his employees / random by-stander / anyone at all!  And while post CW instances are fine and more than welcome, what I'm really looking for is of the pre-CW timeline. (But. like I said, both are fine.)

Off the top of my head, I can think of- the time he didn't tell anyone he was cryogenically frozen / not dead; the time he dated Jan without telling her his secret ID; the time he was drunk and rude to Jarvis; the time Rumiko told him she loved him and he didn't respond/ ran away...

Anything else is okay, please?

Edit: Uh... clarifying because this wasn't clear in the original post... I am not implying that narratively Tony  *is* an asshole, I'm looking for instances where people might *perceive* him as an asshole in-comics...  Of course, if you have any incident in mind, where you feel the narrative also insists on the dickish-ness or where *you* felt the behaviour was unjustified pure!dick, do share! Thanks!

You know, I've practically memorized the older comics, and yet somehow I'm drawing a blank.
I know there was one time that Happy was a total dick. He'd walked in on Tony and Pepper seconds from a kiss, waaay back in the 70's. (Yes, while Happy and Pepper where married), and in retaliation he told Pepper that Tony was Iron Man, knowing Shellhead scared the crap out of her.Gimme a bit to go through my collection, I'll find some.

Got one, Crash and Burn arc, just after the cryo-disaster. IM V1 numbers 303 to 305(?). Tony vs. just about everyone, trying to deal with the various messes his company has gotten into. A hacker got into SE's files and published all sorts of secrets even Tony himself didn't know about. In 305, he finds out Stane had built a gamma bomb factory(?) that's still around, and that Hulk knows about it (this was a Smart!Anti-Nuke!Hulk era). So he gets out the Hulkbuster armor and gets ready to fight, only to find out (halfway through the battle) Hulk was fully prepared to talk it out. Thankfully, Big Green is pretty forgiving, and suggests Tony switch to decaf. This arc is also interesting because it features the New Warriors jumping in headfirst and blowing things up willy-nilly, forcing Tony to kick some tail.
