To be honest, I really don't think he's capable of caring for others unless he finds them useful in some capacity. Whether as unwitting pawns or some other donkey to pin the tail on whenever his hands get too dirty. I wouldn't say he's a full-blown narcissist, but he does have some narcissistic traits.

He refuses to take responsibility for his mistakes. He projects his behavior onto others. He doesn't involve his teammates in important decisions, and then gets mad at them for not trusting him. He refuses to understand, respect, or even acknowledge anyone else's point of view, or admit when they're right and he's not. He will not think twice about throwing his so-called friends under the proverbial bus to save his own neck.

These are flaws that are not in any way related to PTSD, and pointing out that these traits make him highly irritating character to watch isn't ignoring his storyarc. It's in fact acknowledging that his storyarc still has a long way to go.

He cares for Pepper, Rhodey, Happy, Bruce, and Coulson, for example. I'd add Natasha, but I can't pinpoint an exact scene for that.

And he cares deeply for all of them. If you can't see that, then I recommend you watch the Iron Man trilogy and Avengers without your Tony-hate glasses on.

(and for fucks sake, all his Iron Man Career is about redeeming himself in his own eyes for the time he was the merchant of death. HIS mistake, HIS dirty hands. He didn't say "well, that was Obie" and washed his hands. He KEPT working at fixing the mess he had made, even if the way he did it was "irritating")

In any case, we're going in circles. I should've known better than to defend Tony in the current MCU-fandom, right after they adapted the storyarc that murdered his character in 616. I guess I'll have to wait until some genious in marketing decides to adapt the current Captain America comic storyline for Steve to be considered the most evil person in the MCU.

And as Iron Man, he isn't much of a hero.

We're only going in circles because you keep hammering the same strawman over and over. I never said he was a psychopath. I even agreed calling him one is being overly harsh. Saying he has narcissistic traits doesn't mean I'm saying he has NPD.

Sounds like Iron Man isn't the only crazy one projecting here...

Speak for yourself, you're clearly just as butthurt.
