Tony stans keep whining about how the Avengers, from Steve to Thor, mistreat and abuse their helpless victim of a fave. Where are they getting this from?? Because from what I’ve seen Tony is exactly as (or way more) nasty to the team as they apparently are to him –

Worst thing Steve has said to Tony – I know men with none of your resources who’re ten times better than you.

Worst thing Tony has said to Steve – I think it’s really funny how you were forced to commit suicide and froze to death. And also maybe you should never have been rescued from that ice coma you were in.

Worst thing Steve has done to Tony – Didn’t tell him that though he had no actual proof of it, Zola had once, for 0.2 seconds maybe kind of insinuated that 25 years ago, while Steve was in the ice, Hydra might have killed Tony’s parents.

Worst thing Tony has done to Steve – On finding out that Hydra used Steve’s brainwashed best friend to kill his parents 25 years ago, he straight up tried to murder the friend. Tony knew the guy was innocent but refused to stop his murder rampage. He also tried to beat the shit out of Steve when Steve objected to this. 

Worst thing Thor has done to Tony – Picked him up by his neck and then dropped him back on the ground without hurting him when Tony broke his promise to Thor and fucked with a sceptre that had already caused Thor a lot of grief and trouble.

Worst thing Tony has done to Thor – Promised Thor that he wouldn’t fuck around with the sceptre just to get Thor’s permission to study it. Then fucked around with the sceptre and created a murder bot. Murder bot then ran off with the sceptre. Tony refused to show any repentance for fucking around or breaking his promise. Instead he berated Thor for not getting why an AI earth monitor would be a good idea.

Worst thing Natasha has done to Tony – infiltrated his company to evaluate him for an initiative as part of her job and, in her unbiased professional opinion, found him wanting.

Worst thing Tony has done to Natasha – Implied she couldn’t be anything but a two faced traitor. Because she dared to let go of her ego and trust their friends enough to believe them when they said there was a bigger threat they needed to get to.

Worst thing Clint has done to Tony – Called Tony a back-stabber. While this was undoubtedly a cruel jibe in light of what happened to Rhodey, it was said in reaction to the worst thing Tony has done to him, and carried no real consequence to anyone. Unlike what Tony did to Clint (see below).  

Worst thing Tony has done to Clint – disclosed the existence of Clint’s family (that Clint had gone to great lengths to protect by keeping secret) to Ross and his lackeys because he was feeling butthurt. Then left Clint to rot in illegal detention for attempting to commit a crime that Tony went on to successfully commit. After Tony had played a major part in Clint ending up in illegal detention to begin with.

Worst thing Bruce has done to Tony – Literally nothing.

Worst thing Tony has done to Bruce – Persuaded Bruce to help him fuck with the sceptre and create an AI world monitor. Steam rolled over Bruce’s reservations and concerns. When this inevitably went south and Bruce, who was struggling with enough guilt as it was, tried to acknowledge that they had fucked up and created a ‘murder bot’, turned on Bruce and called him a coward.
