For the record: I hated the plotline that introduced Teen Tony Stark with the fury of a thousand blazing suns. I mean, I hated that story like the Sub-Mariner hates the offshore oil industry...
... but I liked him.
It sucked more than anything else Marvel has ever done (NOTE: so far; Civil War looks like it'll be worse) the way they made room for him... but he was a neat kid, and a fun take on the character. And, though it's completely impractical, I dug the "gauntlets and cables" look he had for a little while there when the rest of his armor wasn't finished yet.
That particular version of the suit was lame-looking when it was finished, but oh well.

(Furthermore, Teen Tony would've made a much cooler Ultimate version than the one they've GOT? But that's for a different board.)
