Tony's Timeline
2000 years ago: Tony's adventure in Ancient Egypt (ToS 44 p. 7)
some time a few years ago: The Mandarin finds his power rings in a crashed alien ship, learns to use them, and rises to power, building his castle in the Chinese countryside.
Also a few years ago: Vanko, already having created an early version of the Crimson Dynamo armor, also creates the Unicorn's suit.
Some time pre Day 0: Tony proves rival tank maker Bruno Horgan was using inferior materials and inspires him to become The Melter

Day 2: Tony meets Pr ofessor Yintsen (p. 5 ToS 39)
Day 5: Prof. Yintsen sacrifices himself (p. 7 ToS 39.. a guess... p.6 says 'hours turn into Days'.. but must be less than a week)
Day 6 – 63 : Tony gets home, has time to invent rocket Skates, win an award for his transistors (page 2, ToS 40), got in some social time (p. 3, ToS 40), re-design the armor to be modular and portable (p. 3, ToS 40), and establish Iron Man as a hero (p.3-4 ToS 40) No timeframe given.. could easily be much longer

Day 72; Tony packs up the newly painted Gold armor to investigate Granville (p. 7 Tos 40 'the following SaturDay'.. rounding down, assuming the date the last panel was also SaturDay)

Day 74: Marion is saved (p. 14, ToS 40 'the very next Day)
Day 75 Charity event starts ToS 41 (there is a montage of how busy Tony is in the next two pages, one as Tony Stark and one as Iron Man, but those could be flashbacks.. an additional 5 one panel Iron Man adventures are referenced)
Day 76: Charity display of Tony's powers (ToS 41, p. 5) Dr. Strange (not THAT one) hypnotizes Tony from afar to break him out of prison
Day 104 (ToS 41.. 'Weeks later..Dr. Strange has had time to build a whole evil lair on an island): Dr. Strange broadcasts his evil plans

Day 130 Tony arrives back in NYC, and stops a theft in his office (ToS 45 p.7 'A few Days later',,)
Day 131-132 The Avengers are formed... Tony Battles the Hulk, and eventually they form the Avengers. (placed here since Tony says he's bored when he answers the Teen Brigade's summons, and this is a bit of a gap in the events in Tales of Suspense, which also matches the release time Avengers 1)
Day 133: The Space Phantom heads to Earth to battle the Avengers (Avengers 2, p 3)
Day 153 somewhere in russia, Professor Vanko(Crimson Dynamo) shows off his new suit. This is later mentioned to not be the 1st suit (Tos 56 p. 9)(ToS 46 p 1-5)

Day 195: Tony is summoned to Washington after an all nighter in the lab (ToS 47 p. 9)
Day 196 battle with the Melter.. he is defeated, but escapes. (ToS 47 p. 12 no time passing is mentioned, but too many events occur for it to still be the same Day)
Day 197 Tony goes to see Charleton Carter about a deal to purchase steel..somewhere in driving distance from Flushing, but rural. He finds him being menaced by 'Mister Doll' who has the exact same power as Puppet Master, but more hair. (ToS 48 p. 1)
Day 198: Tony goes back to the office to lick his wounds. Mister Doll is reveal to be targeting other industrialists as well.. Tony is just next on the list. Tony spends the time creating the new red and gold armor (ToS 48 p. 6-10.. no time is mentioned as passing, and Tony has built an Iron Man suit in Day a few times now) Meanwhile, in russia, the Black Widow is assigned to eliminate Vanko and Tony (ToS 52, p. 3)
Day 199 Angel wanders by and gets caught in a test explosion and turns evil. Professor X calls the Avengers for help (so both team exist at this point). This is the first mention of other heros in an Iron Man story! Unlike the previous ones, this story seems to take place in a Day.(ToS 49)
Day 200 the US government sends Iron Man on a mission to get intel on the Mandarin. He manages to make the round trip to China AND get home in time for his corporate event (that's some fancy flying!) (ToS 50)
Day 201 Tony chases a burglar into a theatre, and gets an assist from one of the performers, unknowlingly inspiring him to take up crime (ToS 51. 1-3)

Day 203 Tony is in the lab with Vanko working on a laser weapon (ToS 52 p. 1)
Day 204 Black Widow and her 'bodyguard' Boris secretly arrive in New York,and have a week to complete their mission... they head right to Stark Enterprises. Natasha is the honey trap, while Boris gets the drop on Vanko and puts on the Crimson Dynamo armor, setting fire to the plant. Iron Man assumes it's Vanko and turns his back and is captured and taken to the russian sub that dropped the spies off. (ToS 52 4-9)
Day 205: Tony escapes with Vanko, but Vanko dies in the ensuing fight. Natasha escapes in the confusion (ToS 52 10-16)
Day 206: Tony gets an anti-gravity ray to work but Happy, thinking he's in trouble 'saves' him, and the new gadget is damaged. (ToS 53 p. 2)
Day 207: Tony tells the Pentagon about his findings, even if he's not sure he can re-create it. The press snap a pic of his demo, which ends up in the paper the next day (Tos 53 p. 3)
Day 208: Black Widow sees the papers and stops by to visit... Tony shows her the anti-gravity ray, and she promptly gases him and steals it (ToS 53, 5-6)
Day 209 – 217 Widow goes on a sabotage Spree at Stark plants.. after some success,her handlers tell her to hit Fort Knox, but Iron Man finally beats her. (time and again... ToS 53, p. 8)
Day 218: Tony joins his fellow Avengers in trying to stop a distaught Thor from terrorizing New York (Thor/JiM 101.. Cap is not there, so assuming this is before Avengers 4.. no other references, but this is when the monthly meeting would be)
Day 226-227: An Errant missile sends Tony scrambling to 'the Orient' and another face off with the Mandarin. He allows himself to be captured, and finally escapes after an epic battle. (ToS 54-55)
Day 248 The Avengers monthly Meeting takes place (Avengers 3, p. 1) Tony visits all the other New York heroes via an 'image transmitter' to see if they've seen the Hulk (Avengers 3, p. 2-4). He mentions his encounter with Angel to Professor X and they the X-Men owe him a favor
They eventually call Rick Jones, who finds the Hulk and turns him back to Bruce Banner... briefly.
Day 250 Hulk comes with the dawn.. the Avengers spring into action. The battle him in the desert near 'centerville, but Hulk escapes (Avengers 3, p. 7-13)
Day 251 Hulk turns up in the middle of the ocean..after a brief battle with Namor, the two decide to team up to destroy the Avengers. Namor mentions his battle with the Fantastic Four (in FF Annual #1) here. (Avengers 3, p. 14-17)
Day 252: Word gets to 'Avengers HQ' (which seems to still be Tony's library, equipment with a short wave radio and a kitchen Table), and the Avengers race to action in Tony's deep sea sub. Tony gets his butt kicked by Namor during the battle. Hulk randomly turning back into ruce Banner allowed the other Avengers to gang up on Namor and cause him to run. (Avengers 3, p. 18-24)
Day 253: After Fleeing the battle, Namor ends up in the Arctic, and after terrorizing some the locals, frees Captain America from the ice. The Avengers, who were following, pick him up. (Avengers 4 p.1-6. Namor notes that this was after the events in FF Annual #1)
Day 254: Rick Jones tracks Cap down to help find who turned the Avengers to stone.. which turns out to be an ancient alien that Namor talked into helping him (Avengers 4 p. 7-14)
Day 255: The Avengers spend the day helping the alien get home... until Namor attacks again with his newly discovered royal guard. An Earthquake renders the battle a stalemate as both sides flee. (Avengers 4 p. 15-22)
Day 256: The Avengers hunt through the desert for the Hulk.. rick suggests he knows where he might be, but meanwhile Hulk finds out he's been replaced and gets mad and heads back to New York (Fantastic Four 25. p. 4-6)
Day 257: After defeating the Thing, Hulk steals a subway train and gets to Avengers mansion just as the Avengers do, and the fight is on. The FF intervene, and the two teams get in each others way to let Hulk escape. A 2nd fight at a nearby construction site does the trick and the two teams leave friends (FF 26 p. 5-21)
Day 258: The Avengers assess the Damage to their HQ (Avengers 5. p. 1-2)
Day 262: works fixing up the Stark Mansion call and tell Tony there's a noise happening under the house. Meanwhile, the other Avengers figure it out as well and converge.. including Thunderbolt Ross and Bruce Banner. Turns out to be the Lava Men. Somehow they figure out they're under the desert in the Southwest, where Hulk generally hangs out. (Avengers 5)
Day 263: The Avengers head home to check on a call from The Teen Brigade (Avengers , last panel. There's no clear time when a new day happens, but WAY too much occurs to fit in 24 hours) They arrive back in New York after a stop for fuel and angst, and find old foes attacking all over the place... this turns out to be the Masters of Evil! (avengers 6 p. 1-9) (time note: Wasp mentions the Human Torch battled Paste-Pot Pete Months ago (Strange Tales 110)
Day 264: Thanks to the Teen Brigade sabotaging the Adhesive X drums,the Avengers win the rematch (Avengers 6 p. 10-24)
Day 265: Training with the Avengers (Tales to Astonish 59, p. 1) Since Cap is at it, I'm going to say this is the same occasion where the end of the meeting is shown in Thor (Journey into Mystery 105 p. 1) It's noted that this happens after Spider-Man #14.
Day 267: Tony has a temper tantrum in his lab and decides he just wants to be a playboy and not Iron Man anymore.. he ignores a call from the Avengers and goes on a date instead (ToS 56 p. 1-4.. note the Avengers shown are Wasp, Giant-Man and Thor, and they specify that the the full remaining team, so we have not gotten to Avengers 4 yet I'm assuming some time passes here, since it's such an abrupt change in mood. Also, this is the first mention of the Avengers in Tales of Suspense) While he's 'out' the Unicorn attacks. Happy gets hospitalized and Pepper is kidnapped.
Day 268 (perhaps in the wee hours) with new resolve, Tony tracks the Unicorn with a 'Black Light Tracker' Tony wins the fight, but is forced to surrender when he fails to find a bomb that was planted at the factory. He surrenders and agrees to be taken to russia, but escapes the plane and heads hope (ToS 56 p. 10-15)
Day 269 The hospital reports Happy will be ok, despite some broken bones. (ToS 56, Last panel)
Day 273: Tony faces the music after blowing off the Avengers in ToS #56 (Thor states it had been 6 days) They suspend him from the Avengers for a week... apparently kicking him out of his own house. (Avengers 7, p.2) Meanwhile, Enchantress and Executioner get kicked out of Asgard, and find Baron Zemo to help defeat the Avengers, which they do one at a time. (Avengers 7 p. 3-12)
Day 276: Tony comes to the aid of Wasp and Giant-Man, who are battling Thor who was brainwashed by Enchantress. Meanwhile, Cap is attacking Zemo's South American hideout by himself. It all comes together andThor ends up using a 'Space Warp' to poof the bad guys away(Avengers 7 p. 13-24)
Day 280: Tony, Hank and Jan find Thor going off the fight Loki, and he refuses to let them him. If there was an Avengers meeting, why wasn't Thor at it? And where's Cap? So either Thor's book is not in chronological order and this story really happens before the Cobra/Mr. Hyde story, or Cap stayed late after the meeting for extra combat training (going with that). In the MU montage in the first Spidey annual, we see Cap at Avengers HQ alone, and not Tony, so seems like this fits nicely... perhaps Tony when back to the Stark compound after they ran into Thor, while Hank and Jan found some crooks to catch on the way home. (Journey into Mystery 108, ASM annual #1)
Day 283-4: The Pentagon calls the Avengers to ask for help against Kang. Tony is just sorta there in the fight.. the Avengers get captured, but Kang ignores Wasp, who rallys the Teen Brigade to save the day. (Avengers 8)
Day 285: Cap has a dream about Zemo...he leads his new allies to his hide out in Africa as they return to the world (Avengers 9, p.1 -2 )
Da7 292: The Avengers go off to stop Mole Man, but the FF is there first, and they want to save Sue themselves.. Thor gives them 24 hours to sort it out before they step in. I'm assuming the Avengers were doing SOMETHING while Zemo was creating Wonder Man, still having their weekly meetings and doing stuff. (FF 31)
Day 299: The Avengers find the X-Men hunting for their leader... they battle briefly, and then let the X-Men handle it. Tony is mostly wallpaper here. Placing there because there's room for it, and everything matches up costume and theme wise. Thor is stil acting as unofficial leader, and Tony mentions how no one ever wants help, referring to the encounter with the Fantastic Four. (X-Men 9)
Day 313: Executioner and Enchantress recruit Simon Willians after his famous trial, Zemo turns him into Wonder Man(Avengers 9, p.4-9 weeks later)
Day 318: The Avengers attack the new Masters of Evil, Wonder Man helps and asks to join (Avengers 9.p. 10-11...some days later)
Day 321: Tony and Hank Pym try to find a cure to Wonder Man's 'rare disease'.. an implanted thought from Enchantress. Wonder Man kidnaps Wasp and pretends theyhave been captured. (Avengers 9, p. 13... a few days later)
Day 322: Tony and the others all separately make their way to Zemo's hideout for a showdown. They lose, but Wonder Man saves then in the end, apparently Dying (though we all know that's not forever). (Avengers 9 p 14-20, 'the next day)
Day 327: Sometimes Avengers meetings are fun... Tossing in reed and Sue's engagement party here. I'd really have to do an FF time line too to get this exact, and that's not what I'm doing today
Once again Thor speaks for the team.. they others are just hanging out. (FF 36)
Day 335 (Happy is totally fine after his multiple injuries from last issue, and mentions Pepper hasn't dated him in 'weeks'....I'm going with the assumption they DID date a bit after he got out of the hospital) After stopping an accident at the plant, Tony takes Pepper to Coney Island, where they see Hawkeye performing...Iron Man has to say the day when a ride fails, and Hawk is seriously jealous.
(ToS 57 p 1-3)
Day 336-339: Hawkeye comes up with trick arrows and a costume, but got the wrong inspiration from Iron Man and knocks over a jewelry store. Black Widow saves him from getting arrested and recruits him to defeat Iron Man (ToS 57 p. 4-8)
Day 340: Hawkeye attacks the factory while the love Triangle gets more involved. After using trick arrows to rust the armor, Tony gets a spare and makes short work of him, but Black Widow (there as the wheel man), gets caught in the crossfire and seriously injured. (ToS 57 9-16) NOTE: this is the first time the comic give impossible time references.. while Hawkeye is inventing his trick arrows and costume, the caption says 'night turns to day, and night again'.. implying he worked on it for at least 2 days... even if one goes with he ran home to build a lab after the encounter with Iron Man.. then he uses it for the first time the following morning. Both Tony and Pepper say their date was 'last night' when Hawkeye attacks, when it had to have been at least 3 days prior. I have stuck with that since it makes more sense) Also, it's baseball season (a security guard talks about watching a no hitter..if you assume baseball happens the same in the Marvel Universe as here, this is probably June 4th. 1964... the other 2 no hitters in 1964 were more noteworthy than just being an no hitter, one a pefect game, and one the pitcher tossing it lost! Of course, since this comic was on the stands on 6/9/64, there's not way Stan Lee knew that there happened to be a very close real time reference!)
Day 341: Tony is testing some underwater gear in the bay when he runs into Kraven and Chameleon trying to smuggle stuff out.. he captures Kraven. (This happens after Spider-Man 15) Meanwhile, Captain America wanders into the office looking for Iron Man, after being captured by Chameleon, who used SCIENCE to copy his brain over to his own. The version that showed up at Stark's factory was indeed Chameleon. The Giant-Man and Wasp show up, to help sort things out. Wasp opines 'If Thor wasn't out of town, this would be a regular Avengers renunion'... which implies Iron Man has left the Avengers at this point. In another time reference, Tony mentions 'President Johson'. Of coursethe assumption of the early Marvel Universe generally is it was happening in real time, but this confirms. (ToS 58)
Day 350: Black Knight mentions he's been planning revenge 'These months', since Avengers #6. Tony mans 'Avengers HQ' (Not sure if this is still his library or not) while the rest of the team goes to a charity Event....so either TonyIS still on the team, and Wasp's comment was just...odd, or this story takes places before ToS 58, which doesn't make a lot of sense. Instead, I'm chalking it up to the fact that the Avengers only get together once a month + Emergencies... so some time has passed (especially since no one mentioned the previous issue when Tony walked in). (ToS 59 p. 2-3)
After a close call with having his chest plate charged, Black Knight attacks, looking for Iron Man to start his revenge. Iron Man wins, but decides his heart has worsened and he can't take the armor off... Happy and Pepper are suspicious (ToS 59)
Day 353: The Avengers have weekly meetings now, not monthly (Avengers 10, p.1) While Zemo and co. plan their next move, Enchantress mentions the Wonder Man affair was 'last month'. (Avengers 10, p. 3) That plan is tempting rick Jones with superpowers and kidnapping him. Cap goes back in time to find him, while the Masters of Evil attack Avengers Mansion. Cap saves rick off camera and returns just int time, then Enchantress erases their memory of the whole shebang. (Avengers 10, p. 5-20)
Day 365 Pepper and Happy are searching for Tony, who's still in the armor... there is not time reference, but Pepper mentions he'd never been gone for so long before, and Tony opines Iron Man can't say he's on vacation because Happy and Pepper know where to look. (ToS 60 p. 3)
He has to flee when Happy and Pepper accuse 'Iron Man' of stealing from the safe and going rogue. (ToS 60, p. 6) Tony also mentions there is an Avengers meeting that he intends to skip that night.
Black Widow uses the opportunity to send Hawkeye to raid the factory (apparently none the worse for )wear from ToS 57) The Avengers offer help, but Tony handles it. Saving the day buys him some time to sort out the Armor problem.
Day 367: Madame Natasha is given a new costume and turned into... the Black Widow. The 'Leader' kidnaps her parents to ensure her co-operation. Once back in America, she convinces Hawkeye to help her again to kill Iron Ma (ToS 64, p. 1-4)
Day 374: an unremarkable Avengers meeting where they dicuss the events from Amazing Spider-Man #18
Day 380: All the heroes vs. all the villains at reed and Sue's wedding! It seems like this should be a lot later, but It does have the original Avengers line up, no Hawkeye and Co. OTOH, Hank and Jan aren't there either. But Thor does shout Avengers Assemble, so... tough one, but I'm going with this. (FF Annual #3)
Day 382: Tony still hasn't taken the armor off (Pepper says he's been missing for 'over a month' ToS 61 p. 1). Happy and Pepper go to the police, suspecting Iron Man has done something to Tony.
Day 383: Happy breaks into Tony's lab... Tony plays sick in bed to help get the heat off Iron Man (ToS 61 p. 4) Just as the press clears out and Tony gets ready to head back to the lab, Mandarin blasts his house with a laser from space. (Tos 61 p. 7)
Day 384: Tony uses a disguise to take a plane to China to attack the Mandarin.. and loses and gets captured again. (ToS 61 p. 8-12). Tony escapes with Mandarin monologues his origin story (ToS 62 p. 1-7) He stops Mandarin's plan to start WW III (and take over the remnants), but is losing the fight until the Chinese army steps in and Mandarin has to flee (ToS 62 8-12) Also, Avengers #11 takes places here... that leaves about a 30 day gap since Avengers 10, so presumably they've done some things not in the comics. We do see Tony's empty chair and they talk about how he's presumed dead... they grant him a 'temporary leave of absence'.. assuming he's out hunting for Tony.
Day 385: Iron Man gets a chilly reception from Pepper and Happy and blows them off to get back to the lab. He states how he just got back from China. (ToS 63 1-2) He solves the tech issue and 'comes back from the dead' for the 1st (of many) times. He claims he's been on a yacht with no access to newspapers. While it COULD be taken that this is a separate disappearance from the first time, seems more likely not to be... Tony was just there for a minute before the Mandarin stuck. (ToS 63 p. 4)
Day 388-390: Hank Pym calls an emergency meeting because his ants tell him too.. they don't take him seriously, and Mole Man captures him when he goes it alone. Wasp rallies the Avengers to come to the rescue...with the help of the image projector! (Tony and Cap HAD forgotten about it, but Wasp didnt)
(avengers #12) It's mentioned that FF 13 was 'months ago' (Avengers 12, p. 15). The comic came out almost 2 years before... the first sign of sliding time?
Day 392: Count Nefaria decides to move to America (Avengers 13, p. 1-3). Meanwhile, Tony (and the other Avengers) stop some petty crime and annoy the Maggia.
Day 394: After a string of sabotage attempts at the Stark plant, Iron Man finally catches the Phantom, who of course is the engineer he blew off eariler. (ToS 63 6-12) That evening, while on a date, Happy and Pepper get kidnapped by Black Widow and Hawkeye (ToS 64, p. 5-6)
Day 395: Black Widow demands Iron Man come to save Happy and Pepper to fufill her bargain, Tony comes as himself instead to out-trap the trap. He beats of the bad guys, though Hawkeye does some serious damage to the armor with a melting arrow (ToS 64 p. 7-12)
Day 399: The Avengers are invited to the big gala opening of Count Nefaria's castle (Avengers 13, p. 4... days later) Nefaria copies 'images' of them, which he sends to the Pentagon to take over. The images 'declare war' then leave.
Day 400-401: The Avengers figure out what's going on and storm the castle, capturing Nefaria. Wasp is apparently shot in the process protecting the Teen Brigade (Avengers 13, p. 20)
The Avengers rush to the hospital, only to find the surgeon they need is really an alien, and he drops dead. They need to find the aliens within 48 hours or Wasp will die. (Avengers 14 p. 1-5)
Day 402-403: The Avengers find the aliens under the ice at the North Pole, where they are preparing to fight different aliens. After two different battles, the Doctor they need turns up and the aliens teleport the team back to NY to save Wasp. They aliens end up leaving before their giant battle destroys the Earth (Avengers 14 , p. 6-20)
Day 405: Tony goes on a tour of his other plants, telling Happy and Pepper he'll be gone 'for a while' (ToS 65 p. 1-3). A random thief breaks into Tony's office and finds the Iron Man armor and steals it. He seems to have no idea what he has.
Day 407: The 'New' Iron Man(Weasel Wills) has practiced enough and heads into the City for a crime spree(after a few days.. ToS 65. p. 5)
Day 410: Tony heads back to New York to stop the Iron Man crime spree, doning his original armor to do so. He calls him out to come to his factory to fight him. Tony wins, of course, and Weasel seemingly loses his mind, claiming he built the armor and was always Iron Man (ToS 65 p. 12)
Day 411: Tony angsts about his life a bit to Happy and Pepper (ToS 65 p. 12, 'the next day...')
Day 430: Thor mentions hids 'month' of acting chairman is up, even though he's clearly been in charge for quite some time. Wasp is none the worse for wear, and Giant Man is in his new costume (created in Tales to Astonish 66). Tony stays behind after the others,and goes up to a bedroom to charge his chest plate, which he hadn't had to do for a while. While one COULD mean that to place this issue before he 'died' and figured out that tech issue... more likely Stan just forgot, since that issue has been mentioned in the Avengers books, and we have Hank's new costume here, so we're going to go with... the new transistor was being re-furbished at the lab and he had to wear the old one (You can send my no-prize whenever) (Avengers 15, p. 2)
Day 431: Cap calls an emergency meeting after seeing Enchantress and Executioner on his way home (Avengers 15, p. 6) rick gets kidnapped and a slobberknocker with the Masters of Evil ensues. While the teams fight in New York, Cap takes the rocket plane to South America where he battles and 'apparently' kills Zemo and saves rick. He even dug a grave for him (Avengers 15. p.20, Avengers 16. p. 5)
Faces with a standoff in downtown NYC, Thor manages to teleport Black Knight and Melter away along with his teammates, so the Asgardians retreat, and the battle doesn't destroy New York. (Avengers 16, p. 3). Thor leaves right after the battle . Hank Pym suggests a vacation, and Tony agrees, just as Hawkeye breaks in and asks to join. (Avengers 16, p. 6-8)
Day 432: Tony takes his mini sub and tries to recruit Namor but he declines, still being in his semi-evil phase (Avengers 16 p. 9)
Day 433: Tony has a press conference to announce Hawkeye's membership. Meanwhile the poorly colored (purple) Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver see that the Avengers are recruiting and write a letter. (Avengers 16 p. 10)
Day 434: Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver come to town. Tony is clearly NOT wearing the chest plate this time. Meanwhile, Tony opines he'd love to find the Hulk and get him back. (Avengers 16, p. 15) Cap returns to some chaos, but it all gets sorted quickly. Tony is sad to leave, but sticks with it, leaving Cap with the advise that he really needs to get the Hulk back. There is a meeting show, without Thor, but WITH Cap and rick, after the Asgardian escape to harass Jane Foster (Thor 116) so some time has to have passed here.
Day 441: Another press conference, and the new line up (Cap's Kooky Quartet) is announced. Once out of siight, Happy drives him back to Stark HQ, where he wants to hit the lab 'for a long while' (Avengers, 16, p. 20)
Once again Thor speaks for the team.. they others are just hanging out. (FF 36)
