Avengers Vol 8 31

 I know the Devil will be back. For one last temptation. And if you can't beat 'em, well, you know what they say...Luckily, I've never given a damn what people say. It's one of my only redeeming qualities. But right now, I don't need to be redeemed. I just need to survive. And here's the thing that defines who I am in the best and worst of ways. Tony Stark does his best work...when he's working to not die.
