Editorial interpretation

Tony Stark’s confidence after AFCWWTS is answered by images of a rough first day back, recovery through tools, and the danger of tools becoming rules. Dan extends the Marvel analogy in a speculative satirical reply; its imagined award is not a documented real award.

Later on we name an award after him and give it to the MFBL that best represents tools not rules.
