In a recent speech, IronMan calls out heroes who resent the cost of their vigilante mission like DC's Red Hood, arguing that loss is part of the deal, and 'if you’re not up for that kind of mission statement, then welcome back to being a piece of $%&.”
Warning: Contains spoilers for Iron Man #24!Marvel’s Iron Man can be a bit of a jerk at times, but his blunt honesty is usually on the mark, and during a speech he gives in a recent comic he calls out the motives and actions of heroes, like DC’s Red Hood. He tells the hero/villain Force that if he wants to be a hero, then he shouldn’t also act like a petulant child.
Clayton Wilson aka Force became a villain after he stole an experimental force field projector from Empire State University. After a defeat by the mutant hero Namor, Wilson went on to work for Justin Hammer, where he was once again beaten by Iron Man. Wishing to reform, Wilson faked his death with the help of Tony Stark and took on a new identity as Carl Walker. He also became an ally of Iron Man, until he was sent undercover to break up an advanced tech black market known as Source Control.
Risking Friends' Lives and Relationships is Part of the Deal 3 Images Close DC Comic’s Jason Todd shares a similar trajectory with Clayton Wilson. Much like the man known as Force, Todd started his career as an assistant to a hero, Batman. During his career as the second Robin, Todd fought alongside Bruce Wayne until he was beaten to death by the Joker.
In each case, fans are presented with a character who was placed in a bad situation due to their association with another superhero, Iron Man and Batman, respectively. The circumstances are unfortunate, but as Tony so rightly points out, “This was always the deal.” What Tony is saying is that it's ultimately not the fault of him or Bruce that bad things happened to their partners, because as heroes that is part of the risk.
In essence, Tony is telling resentful vigilantes, like Red Hood, that it's all part of the deal. It is unfortunate when bad things happen to people like Jason Todd, but it's really not Batman’s fault. Because if someone can’t understand that by putting on the costume they are risking not only their life, but their relationships, then they shouldn’t put on the mask at all.
