![]() Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, Peter returns home, where he lives with his Aunt May, under the watchful eye of his new mentor Tony Stark. Even without context, Peter crying on Iron Man’s shoulder over his money makes sense to even the most casual fan.A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man, who made his sensational debut in Captain America: Civil War, begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging superhero in Spider-Man: Homecoming. In Jonathan Hickman’s Avengers, when Tony and Steve Rogers offered Peter Parker a spot (“We have money”), the poor webhead broke down in a panel that went viral on social media. It’s been more than a decade since the fight over superhuman registration, but while Tony and Peter aren’t as close as they were they’ve had some moments. And it was through Stark that Peter found the courage to unmask himself to the world, a decision that would have dramatic ripple effects - until it didn’t. It was here where Tony built Peter a fancy new costume (coined by fans as the “Iron Spider” suit), which he wore into battle until the end of Civil War. Meanwhile, Peter - who by this time was in his late twenties/early thirties - still yearned for a father figure and found one in Stark. Marvel EntertainmentĪs Civil War loomed in ‘05, Tony and Peter bonded over a mutual love for science, but grew closer as Tony found a constant source of ego-stroking from Peter. Tony Stark gives Peter his Iron Spider suit, in 'The Amazing Spider-Man' #529. And it was here when a beautiful friendship really began. From The Amazing Spider-Man #519 until #545, when Peter defected from Iron Man’s side to join Captain America in Mark Millar’s Civil War, Peter and Tony lived like a bizarro Jack/Stanley from Three’s Company. After becoming an Avenger in 2005, a fight with the Molten Man burned down the Parker home which forced Peter, Mary Jane, and Aunt May to move into Stark Tower. Things began to change in the mid-2000s, when Peter and Tony entered a weird (and funny) new level to their relationship. Iron Man fought the Mandarin and alcoholism. Any other time of the year, the two had their own challenges: Spidey would spend the ‘80s and ‘90s fighting Venom and his clone. Instead, they acted like cordial colleagues, sharing panel space only during major crossover events, like Secret Wars or The Infinity Gauntlet, if at all. They didn’t put on fedoras and celebrate their beautiful friendship. When the three-issue “The Tomorrow War” ended, it was no Casablanca between Spider-Man and Iron Man. In the story titled “The Tomorrow War,” Spidey and Iron Man joined forces to rescue the Avengers from Kang the Conquerer with the help of Zarrko the Tomorrow Man, whose plan is more hazardous than they know.Ĭover of 'Marvel Team-Up' starring Iron Man and Spider-Man in "The Tomorrow War." Marvel Entertainment That’s because the first time they teamed up was in 1973, eleven years after Spidey’s debut, in issue #9 of the aptly-titled Marvel Team-Up. Unlike the more recognized duos in comics history - Batman and Robin, Luke Cage and Iron Fist, Deadpool and Cable or Wolverine, depending on Wade Wilson’s mood - Spider-Man and Iron Man isn’t a given. Finally, one of the oddest and seemingly unlikely friendships in comics has found a thematic groove in the movies. In the forthcoming Spider-Man: Homecoming, the invincible Iron Man plays a more significant role in Spidey’s life than he ever has before, in any medium. But now in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, young Peter Parker (Tom Holland) has found himself a father figure in a world-weary Tony Stark, played famously by Robert Downey Jr. Since his debut in August 1962 in the pages of Amazing Fantasy, Spider-Man has fought crime and villainy with his beloved Uncle Ben’s words guiding his way. ![]() With great power comes great responsibility.
