Iron Man Regret

So I'm reading through old Iron Man comics and came across a story line where Tony Stark is paralyzed and has to be in a wheelchair. The whole series is cringe worthy as Tony repeatedly states how he's tired of being a "freak" in a wheel chair and wants out of it. In his handicapped form, woman snubbed him and people see him as weak.

Instead of showing Tony to be none of those things, Stark somewhat agrees with everyone, that being handicap sucks and no one should ever want this "curse" upon them. Pretty sure Marvel would love to burn all these issues today and with they never existed but it was quite an interesting read to see what people thought back in the day!
