Snape/Daredevil in a NutshellAuthor:
tartanshellFandom: HP/DD
Excerpt: Two men sit before the drinks. One is a tall gent with long, greasy black hair, dark eyes, and a huge nose. A huge scar mars his neck and face. He is clad in black; sits warily. The other man is masked, wearing a red leather devil costume. He sits with the casual grace of a true master of martial arts and legalese.

Recently Tony Stark apologized to She-Hulk re the whole shooting-her-cousin-into-space-sleeping-with-her-under-false-pretenses-and-depowering-her thing. On CBR writer Peter David
said:
Guys...it's very simple. After everything that Tony did to her, she's running around in the red Hulk series like nothing happened. When I first started writing "She-Hulk," I had NO idea she was going to be used in that series, allying with Tony Stark as if the status was quo. In fact, it's entirely possible--considering how early I started working on the book (keep in mind I was writing scripts beyond where Dan had finished scripting)--that not even Marvel knew at the time that She-Hulk was going to be there. So now we've got two wildly different portrayals of She-Hulk in two different books, and I felt I needed to lay at least SOME sort of groundwork for at least the BEGINNINGS of, at best, a truce between Tony and Jen.
You can dissect it into the ground if you want, but given the givens, and considering I didn't want to do something cliched and obvious like having She-Hulk and Iron Man slug it out for 22 pages, this was the best I could do for now.
Which is basically what I thought. *g*

Why I Hate Iron ManHe just goes out superheroing with no real impetus, and no real style. He's a walking ray gun, but without the Buck Rogers or Flash Gordon for readers to relate to.
Well. I do actually think that Iron Man has a distinct character. I find it bizarre that he's even suggesting that Iron Man doesn't have a personality. Dude (pre-secret-identity-reveal) had friends, and a nickname, and personal nemeses. You can't have those things without a personality! How many toasters do you know with nemeses? Excluding the blonde bombshell model of toaster. *thinky frown* But this silliness is a post for another day, when I will have examples, and possibly scans prepared.
(I seem to recall a conversation in
crimsonquills' journal about the differences between Tony Stark and Iron Man - link?)
