Well, it could be due to differences in their approaches to problem - solving. Tony is often very independent and might not always follow the group's plan. This could lead to the Avengers in the fanfic being assholes to him as they see his actions as self - centered or not in line with the team's goals. For example, if Tony decides to take on a threat alone without consulting the others, they might get angry and start treating him badly.
In some fanfics, the Avengers might be assholes to Tony because of jealousy. Maybe Tony's intelligence and wealth make them feel inferior, so they act mean towards him.
In some fanfics, the Avengers might be 'dicks' to Tony due to jealousy. Maybe Tony's intelligence and wealth make them feel inferior in some ways. His high - tech gadgets and his popularity could stir up envy among the other Avengers, leading to unkind treatment in the fictional stories.
In some fanfictions, Tony might be kicked out of the Avengers because of a conflict in leadership styles. Maybe his high - tech and sometimes risky solutions don't sit well with other members who prefer more traditional or cautious approaches. For example, if a mission goes wrong due to one of his untested inventions, the team could lose faith in his decision - making abilities.
Maybe it's his wealth. His vast wealth can create a sense of inequality within the team. Some Avengers might feel that he uses his money to overshadow them or make decisions based on his financial power rather than the best interests of the group. Also, his high - tech gadgets and suits might make other members feel inferior or left out.
Maybe he thinks it distorts the real story of the Avengers. Fanfiction often takes the original story and characters in unexpected directions, which might not sit well with him.
One reason could be his ego. In some fanfictions, his over - confidence might come across as arrogance. He often makes decisions without consulting the whole team, which could lead to other Avengers or their fans disliking him.
One great 'Avengers Tony and Natasha fanfic' is 'Midnight Rendezvous'. It beautifully portrays their relationship. The author does an amazing job of showing how their different personalities, Tony's brashness and Natasha's stealth, complement each other in unexpected ways. Another one to check out is 'Allies and More'. It delves deep into their partnership during a tough mission and how that slowly blossoms into something more.
The concept of Tony Stark as a cat in a fanfic can also bring out different aspects of his personality. Cats are often seen as independent, which is a trait that Tony already has. But as a cat, it could be exaggerated. He might be more aloof and choose when and who he wants to interact with among the Avengers. This could create some tension or just more light - hearted moments as the other Avengers try to figure out what the cat - Tony Stark is thinking or wanting.
Tony would probably be extremely hurt. He trusted his team, and betrayal would cut deep. He might initially be in denial, not wanting to believe that his friends could turn on him.
Maybe he thinks fanfiction distorts the real image of the Avengers. He's a proud and complex character who might not like how some fanfiction writers portray him or his team.
One reason could be personal growth. Tony Stark is a complex character. In fanfiction, he might leave to explore his own identity outside of the Avengers. He could be seeking self - discovery, away from the constant superhero battles and group dynamics. He might want to focus on his own technological advancements or personal relationships without the interference of the Avengers' responsibilities.
