Okay. So, in the sixteen hours or so waiting for my mother to come back from A&E, where I basically sat in the kitchen all night, I ended up blitzing through about 20 episodes of Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Because I tend to gravitate to cartoons under stress. I've no idea why that particular cartoon (I think I bounced to it on a link, and then just stayed), but there you go.
It's the first time I've really watched/read anything involving the Avengers at all, being mostly a DC girl who strayed occasionally towards the X-men/Spiderman (admittedly, again, mostly in cartoon/film form - those and the 1970's TV version of the Incredible Hulk, which I'm given to understand doesn't count). So I was possibly a little surprised to find myself getting attached to Tony Stark/Ironman (possibly, it must be said, because the cartoon version of him in the black-and-glowy-stripe undersuit reminded me of both Jonny Quest and Tron, hence giving him nostalgia value by proxy). So then I went and bought the first Ironman film. In which I kinda wanted to punch him, but also wanted to pat him on the head, particularly during the build-scenes where he was having ridiculous amounts of fun playing with deadly machinery and being a total geek.
So. Randomly, mostly as a result of my mother going to hospital, I now have a tentative attachment to Tony Stark. And. I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations (for fic, cartoons, comics - though they'll be hard for me to get - whatever) starring him? Particularly in geeky, gadget-building mode?
Um. Thank you? *grins sheepishly*
