Why "even"? Well, the original Tony not from the Cinematic Universe spun all sorts of S.H.I.E.L.D.s on his reproductive organ and never bent under any Fury, rather bending everyone else himself, so much so that the US government was afraid to even squeak. ...

It looked co...
2025-12-28 08:37:55 +0000 UTC View PostThe flight to New York wasn't memorable. The atmosphere on board was tense, conversation was non-existent, and there were no windows to stare out of, in short, deadly boring.
