[[spoiler: Especially considering the nuke was fired by the UN (or [[CosmopolitanCouncil similar substitute]]) with the knowledge it would wipe out the known superhero population. They even have a [[{{Shazam}} red-and-gold costumed hero]] making the sacrifice play to take the nuke out of range, though in this case, Tony survives.]]
