You've got a point there.. but of course the level of ability Tony has is completely unrealistic to be in one human... as is the case with all Marvel scientists. I get it though. He's gone WAY down my list the last few years for sure.

Captain America: Sentinel Of Liberty issues 5 and 6 feature Iron Man along with Cap, and take place very soon after Cap joins the Avengers. It's one of the few Waid stories I can tolerate. If memory serves, it's a nice exploration of Tony's original reaction to Steve.

I'm making a list of all the retro-ish stuff you guys are mentioning... definitely some of them I have, next time I sort stuff I'll grab'em. Upon further reflection, it'll probably be easier to do so while I'm in the moment.
Updated today with the 1963 Avengers stories and a one page cameo in Thor.

There is a pre-Avengers #1 meeting with the original gray skinned Hulk while still wearing the bulky Golden armour in the Loeb and Sale Hulk: Gray mini series from the early 00s. (although I think an opportunity to have Tony in the original gray armour to match the theme was missed, but maybe that's just me)

The West Coast Avengers book included a storyline where Tony along with he rest of the team, are trapped in the past.

..And just to show the cosmic approval of this operation, this Month's Iron Man story is a flashback (to the Silver Centurion/West Coast Avengers Era).
I've started on the next set of Tales of Suspense, and NO mention of the Avengers at all yet. It seems it may be harder to place things than I thought... I guess we'll see as I go.

Updated Tales of Suspense 51-60.. its funny how all of a sudden the book feels like it's part of the MU... the Avengers show up a couple issues in a row, and of course Cap starts sharing the title. The writing really changes in issue 56, with the angst turned up to 11... I guess because it works elsewhere? I didn't realize how abrupt it was. There were definitely a couple times gaps... we'll see it the Avengers stories fill them nicely or not

Avengers 1-10 added. To make it all work, there is about a month (between Tales of Suspense 55 and 56) where nothing happens. This distresses me, but since Avengers #6 specifically is 6 days after 56, there's nothing else I see that would really work. I have a few more cameos/ guest spots from 1964 left, that I think I have in various essentials that I'll add in next before moving forward.

Added a bunch of the 1 page cameos they love in the early MU. It almost feels like I need to read every book to properly place everything, but that would be a much bigger thing that I don't really want to do, so this will do. Leaning a bit on Supermonkey's time line (one of my favorite web sites) for this.. he doesn't do time references only story notes and costumes for placing things, but he does provide really nice summaries for books I don't have
