Teen Tony?

Hex

My girls have been watching the Iron Man cartoon on Netflix (the version where everyone is a teenager).

It got me thinking about back when Marvel reverted Tony into a teenager after that whole Kang fiasco back in the 90's. I don't remember much from those issues (although I vaguely remember enjoying the artwork - Jimmy Cheung?) and I was wracking my brain trying to recall how Marvel finally resolved that mess. How did Tony get back to normal "adult" age? Was everything swept under the rug when Onslaught showed up and they rebooted everything? I'm too lazy to dig through my boxes to pull out those issues (and frankly, they are too crappy to revisit).

Can someone jog my aging memory and give me the coles notes version?
Thanks... you're all the best!

I think it was indeed the 'sweeping it all under the rug during Onslaught' option that was taken. Tony was rebooted in the Image-produced Iron Man series, and after Heroes Return he was still an adult, and I don't recall if there was any other explanation given.

Thanks Chuck!
That's what I thought happened. A shame Marvel couldn't come up with something better. Maybe there will be a No-Prize in my future!

I guess Teen Tony is babysitting Peter & MJ's baby under that rug.

Here's a good write up on the whole horrible thing.

Of course Busiek would have taken a stab at fixing the whole debacle! His love for the Avengers wouldn't allow the "Teen Tony" affront to stand unchallenged.

Thanks for the link.
