armored adventures adapted 3 of those 1. he's a teenager all the time in it 2. he uses rollerskate armor to escape when hit with an EMP 3. his armor became an obsessed stalker

[@rogue_asami4522]

Insane Makaioshin Yes, but that series was pretty amazing though.

[@MachineFuckingHate]

I'm not sure if you did your homework on "THAT HE AND DR DOOM WENT BACK IN TIME", folks. That is actually one of the most iconic moments in both characters' histories and it's been prominently referenced throughout entire Marvel Comics history and is, in fact, one of the inspirations behind Brian Bendis' current Infamous Iron Man run, where Dr. Doom is the "new" Iron Man. And that story is also one of the most popular trade paperbacks with Iron Man. I've seen it in every comic book store.

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

I'm sure Tony has a method of forgetting all of this. Glug glug glug glug glug.

[@nightmare-md9qv]

are you everywhere?????

[@Ecocristero3]

Just Some Guy with a Mustache Iron man’s drunk again.

[@benphillips2947]

2:08 That footage is not the 90's Fantastic 4 show you're talking about. That's "Fantastic 4: World's Greatest Heroes" from 2006.

[@Sensenoi6]

The 90's FF show was way worse than Iron Man too, although even as a kid I thought both were lame.. Compared to X-Men, Spider-Man and Batman. Coulda been waaay better.

[@firebird1080]

I blame James Wade for that little fuck up.

[@calamaritofuparty6740]

Hahaha, that would be me. Apologies!!

[@101Draico]

Strangly iron man armoured adventures did a storyline with the armour getting hit by lightning. Only there the AI was updating and when the lightning hit its programming to keep tony alive and safe became disturbingly insane, planing to keep him inside and using life support to keep him alive. Though there the suit wasn’t in love with him it was just following glitched programming

[@firebird1080]

That's pretty much what the number one spot was doing. It just loved him too.

[@Billie4Mozzarella]

EXCUSE YOU THE ROLLER SKATES WERE ICONIC

[@bconroy328]

Ah a (iron)man of cultre i see

[@Billie4Mozzarella]

Didn't Civil War end with Cap beating the crap out of Iron Man and then being arrested after surrendering because he was ready to literally murder his long time friend and realized they lost sight of what they were fighting about?

[@thfpt]

Billie4Mozzarella no

[@B_Naito]

It did. They literally took the moments before this, to make it seem like Tony was the agressive one. Don't know why they did it, there's plenty of material from Civil War that shows how bad Tony Stark was

[@sighman9209]

A little bit of context Cap was beating the crap out of him, while he was stuck in a disabled suit(Vision disabled it). And had to literally be stopped by civilians from bashing Tony's head in.

[@B_Naito]

That's right!

[@SpiritFox100]

But since Goverment BAD! Tony Stark is wrong.

[@NCMonefaith]

How about when he cloned Thor

[@MrGrimjaw]

how about his new replacement Rriri ?

[@social_exe]

I thought Reed Richards cloned Thor

[@firebird1080]

Gentle neal It was a group effort with Reed, Tony, and Hank Pym.

[@NeoAya]

How about that time Ultron merged with him to become a clone of Janet Van Dyne?

[@Bluesit32]

Meta That was hilarious.

[@alejandrodiaz9355]

That time travel story with Dr. Doom is actually considered to be a classic and part of a larger story stemming from the early 70s to the late 80s, culminating in a great story with Dr. Strange teaming up with Dr. Doom to save his mother's soul from Mephisto, one of Marvel's best graphic novels.

[@ethanmccue7942]

Doom Quest was actually referenced in one of the more recent iron man comics as a build up to Infamous Iron Man.

[@jimllc]

"As were his later animated efforts" Bitch, Armored Adventures is fucking fantastic.

[@skadithejotunn1143]

Josh Spicer lol

[@macnut68]

I wouldn't call it "fantastic", but it was a distinct improvement over the 90s cartoon. My main beef with it was that it featured "teen Tony". But since it really was Tony in his younger days and not him replacing older Tony (like in those awful comics), I mostly got over it.

[@Danosauruscrecks]

I heard it was I got to check it out

[@HolyHadou]

I can't believe the Black Widow sex tape didn't make it. Especially considering Pepper and Tony now.

[@JacobyJ56]

He had sex with black widow. .. MY MAN!

[@firebird1080]

That was part of Ultimate Iron Man. So it technically made it.

[@HolyHadou]

Thanks for that I wasn't sure which series that took place in but it makes sense that it'd be the ultimate universe.

[@treyurbach2550]

That happened in the ultimate universe. Tony and Pepper never dated in that universe

[@nctpti2073]

Both Natasha and Tony have slept around a lot, including with each other...

[@LoganProductions54]

I thought number one was gonna be the time he got drunk and beat up Pepper.

[@alejandrodiaz9355]

Wait! The first season of the 90s cartoon was terrible, from the opening theme music to the animation, but the second season was good, especially the revised opening theme music. The animation was much improved and the characterization was more inline with the comics, plus it had an adult, soap opera feel to it.

[@robertschaffer596]

That "terrible nineties cartoon" was the one which made me love Ironman and Marvel in general. :D

[@big_lolo_01]

I liked the 90s Ironman cartoon. It was fun but serious when needed to be

[@Seras99]

Logan Skelton The second season is the only good thing about the iron man show. The first season is so bad is that they fucking retcon it!

[@big_lolo_01]

Lavon Media Why cant I like it even when nobody else did

[@Seras99]

Logan Skelton I know right? It's your opinion and I respect it. And yeah the theme song from the second season was pretty damn awesome.

[@big_lolo_01]

Lavon Media Thank you for the respecting my opnion. And I agree with you on the theme it kicked major butt

[@angelluna5930]

I liked it too. Not every cartoon has to be B:TAS to be enjoyable. It was cool, and it got me into the character in the first place.

[@The80sWolf_]

"10 Things Marvel Wants You To Forget About Iron Man" #0 That Iron Man became popular much thanks to Robert Downey Jr.

[@MidBoss666]

Actually, Doomquest is referenced in MVC3, not only did Iron Man get an alternate color from this story, he's also recognised by king Arthur in their pre-battle dialogue.

Ideas pouring out of him,thank god I was on my comic book addiction in those day!

[@Replica_Rabbit]

What about the time when Ultron turns Iron-Man into a woman who looks like the Wasp?

[@Billie4Mozzarella]

The fact that the suit is in love with him is forgotten by everybody... except fanfiction writers who created both the "sentient armor/Tony Stark" and "Armour Kink" tags for AO3 =)) The sentient armour is a long lived and long remembered trope among writers.

[@Crabastompa]

Really surprised 'Force Works' didn't make this list

[@Danosauruscrecks]

I've always liked Ironman. So I was really excited for the movie when it first came out. But the MCU really made him popular

[@Unofficial1998]

6:44 "Don't expect this to be referenced by Marvel ever ever again" In Marvel vs Capcom 3 and Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, when Iron Man wins against Doctor Doom, he says "And don't think I forgot about what happened in Camelot."

[@anau.u9827]

Ok the last one sounds like a fanfic xD

[@TheAutistWhisperer]

Why would anyone want to forget Tony's battle with alcoholism? It made him more compelling and cheering him to overcome it.

[@coyotefoxhell]

Tony Stark is adopted. That is CURRENT continuity. Have we all forgotten?

[@dylanogg347]

The second season of the 1990's Animated Series was actually pretty good, same with Fantastic Four. Their second seasons were vastly improved in every aspect. Armored Adventures was pretty good too. Super Hero Squad; not so much.

[@haakontherayquaza4046]

I read that the Guy who wrote Fantastic Four Season 1 was the same Guy who wrote Iron Man season 1, people complained that the nonsensical Science was terrible in the Iron Man show, but it made more sense in Fantastic Four which I think is funny to any other Superheroes, fighting Aliens, accidentally getting sent to another Dimension or Fighting an underground Mole Man would be the weirdest things ever but to the Fantastic Four that's Monday Tuesday and Wednesday

[@dylanogg347]

@@haakontherayquaza4046 Aye, that adds up when you think about it.

[@mjstory1976]

I knew Civil War would make it on here

[@FootbTitans]

I thought the whole alcoholism would be number one.

[@Bluesit32]

Wesley Fulton Marvel never wants us to forget his boozing. "Demon in a Bottle" is one of the greatest Iron Man storylines ever, if not the best.

[@TheVetoSkreeemer]

Yes, that wont appear on a movie

[@johngr1747]

1) Iron man is one of the most popular characters ever! he is awesome 2) adolesence is 13-18 not 19 3) That storyline with the suit... yuk. Marvel is lame at making stories

[@jean-francoislabelle6489]

Iron Man was Heroes Reborn best book. It was not perfect, far from it, but from my memory it was the first attempt to make him look cooler and more on par with today technology. A lot of these changes carried over when the heroes returned to their normal books.

[@snakes3425]

Hey Tony invented rocket powered roller skates with miniature transistors for the US Army and was told he'd revolutionized troop movements

[@remix71]

Camelot was the greatest! When iron Man's able to wield Excalibur, Doom had the greatest response: This is NOT the way to get on my good side!

[@HarshPTHESNAKEFIST]

The time Tony’s armor gains sentience is one of Ultron’s failsafes

[@SamButler22]

I definitely remember watching the 90s cartoon; I can't remember whether I ever liked it or not.

[@inotaishu1]

Ultimate Tony Stark was not blue because he was so intelligent, in short the blue "color" was a nanotech armor.

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

Nobody is flawless,even Tony Stark.

[@TevyaSmolka]

god civil war was awful for iron man but it also ruined a lot of other characters

[@blainealexander5091]

Wow - those cartoons from the 90’s were all good. I was a big fan of Iron Man and Fantastic 4. I put those up there with the X-Men cartoon.

What about in one universe how he's not really a Stark. He was adopted by Maria and Howard to protect their real son Arno. I ask my friends about it and they look at me like I'm crazy. Even my dad looked at me like I was crazy and he loves Marvel Comics.

No one is going to point out they started randomly playing Christmas music?

[@bunyan4.20]

I loved the ultimate universe comic books they were really good and very interesting concept like Sue storm being Kang the Conqueror and Reed Richards being evil Plus Miles Morales came out of the Ultimate Universe so it wasn't a complete waste

[@SeekerLancer]

Season 2 of the Iron Man cartoon wasn't too bad. Season 1 was... not good at all. Also you say Doomquest and Demon in a Bottle were the only seminal Iron Man works then you immediately talk about Armor Wars. C'mon guys... You were also showing pictures of the wrong Armor Wars. The Crossing is not to be spoken of. Ever.

[@jondunmore4268]

Now that you said "Mask In The Iron Man" won't get made into IRON MAN 4, that's going to be the plot. You KNOW this, right?

could you do a video on the thunderbolts?

[@TrueBackLash]

Were you even alive during the ‘90s Ewen, the Iron Man cartoon was awesome

[@ironlordshellhead3415]

Actually in Armor Wars Tony had his tech stolen by Spymaster that was send by Justin Hammer that sold the tech to Shield or other "Super Heroes" and Armor Wars is one of Iron Man best Story Arcs next to The Power of Iron Man,Doomquest or Hands of The Mandarin,at least for V1.

[@aidangeiger2057]

When there’s trouble you know who to call. TEEN TONY!!!!

[@UNV-dk7xk]

I actually love the roller skates

[@nctpti2073]

Doomquest was great! It played up the differences and similarities between Doom and Stark, including the fact that Doom is open minded with respect to magic and Tony is not. Armour Wars, on the other hand... yeah that was bad.

[@ffnendhgrgd]

There's certainly a way to do the last one well. If you can make the armor sympathetic.

[@pizzaman6926]

That Cartoon was awesome!

[@tickledeggz]

You obviously didn't actually read ultimate iron man before making this video, he turned blue because his parents coated him in a nanite gel that suppressed the constant pain he was in because his whole body is nerves and brain.

[@NosferatuWickedTTRPG]

I like how he completly ignored extremis while talking about notable archs

[@ryebred77]

Remember Tony Starks was shot and paralyzed(lost the usage of his legs)!

[@belllmont]

Actually marvel seems pretty proud of Doomquest, considering a lot of major elements in it were recycled and used in the most recent lego game. Despite it being silly i fucking love doomquest

[@ryanlevin1912]

Yes, yes it was.

Victor von Doom taking over Iron Man's comic was a great tribute to that story.

[@Darkerxz]

Mask Of The Iron Man was referenced in the IRON MAN 3 trailers. It was some bait and switch misleading trailer bullshit, just like the rest of Iron Man 3

[@AgentDesmond]

You should have just thrown the nose in with the skates

[@neoqwerty]

I'm just going to keep laughing at the metal starfish stuck on Iron Man's helmet now. If that and the roller skates had been in the same suit, you could even have argued that it was a drunk armor design!

[@morganyoung3557]

Neo Qwerty I could actually see Tony getting very drunk and deciding that roller skates would be an awesome idea while forgetting that he can fly in his armor, so he quickly slaps in a pair of roller skates onto his armor. When he gets sober he instantly regrets it, but doesn’t want to admit that he did something so stupid while drunk and just rolls with it (pun 100% intended here).

[@prateekpandey9269]

Those roller skates he had better be #1 Edit: Fuck I was wrong but atleast it was in the list

[@jean-francoislabelle6489]

Iron man and Dr Doom quest to the past was referenced... again. In Iron Man 249-250. And that story was incredible by the way. Did you guys ever read it?

[@Vfanatic1]

Marvel DID reference Doomquest though, in All New All Different Iron man, Tony met up with Doom who was no longer in the suit and to prove he was Doom brought it back up.

[@zeromancer-x]

Oh The Mask in the Iron Man definitely needs to be made into Iron Man 4! xD

[@noirangel6416]

[@Berengier817]

Doomquest was recently mentioned in the comics

[@Vanillastump]

Except for Iron Man was RIGHT. The difference between the Civil War storyline and the PATRIOT ACT is that in the real world no one has superpowers. That's a pretty big part of it. Random "heroes" were going out on their own, and were dying. It's like handing out nuclear weapons randomly, and not keeping track of who has them.
