Yeah, the "true" villain of that movie is Tony, Baron Zemo is just the proverbial Darkspawn storming through whichever bulwark Ferelden left most tantalizingly unguarded

Tony Stark is a supervillain by CIVIL WAR, yeah. I maintain that he's the true villain of SPIDER-MAN HOMECOMING too.

the wildest part about AGE OF ULTRON and the sokovia accords is that afterwards tony builds /another/ orbiting superdeath supermachine and then gives the controls to a teenager extremely strong evidence he was full of shit the whole time

I think calling him a supervillain is inaccurate, if only because Tony can both be a basically good person and be situationally wrong. He's the antagonist, but he is ultimately the tool of higher powers exploiting his traumas?

He casually destroyed someone's livelihood to make his own life fractionally easier and then never realized that his protégé's problems eight years down the line were completely his fault.

That's not "a supervillain." That's "an antagonist," especially given that if I recall correctly the dude whose livelihood he destroys is himself fairly well to do? That's the Spider-Man villain right?

Adrian Toomes' salvage team were contracted to help with the clean-up after the Battle of New York before Tony Stark sent someone to tell them that said contract was being waived in favor of a joint operation between Stark Industries and the US government.

At which point, Toomes is like "screw this, let's take the salvage and go onto the black market" and proceeds to become moderately wealthy off the back of it.

There's the process by which Quentin Beck (and his whole team) became Mysterio, after years of Tony casually mistreating them and taking credit for their work, apparently with the final straw being Tony claiming he invented the VR brain scanner Quentin spent his career developing

I haven't seen SPIDER-MAN FAR FROM HOME, but I'm told that it's a very good IRON MAN movie.
