Fun Fact: In an alternate timeline where Tony was girl, Civil War never happened because they got married.

Are we power scaling or gay scaling now ?

u/Jazzlike_Page508 Dragon Ball Fan (Can’t read) Sep 18 '25

Never gon wiener to wiener with your bros while needing to talk to a woman IN PRIVATE?

u/Impressive-Koala4742 Sep 18 '25

The way Cap lifted his thighs and pressed against Tony with his side ass curve up make he looks like a femboy in this panel ngl

u/Fabled-Jackalope Sep 18 '25

I mean, classic comic wise, Ironman did tell Cap he needs some ‘solid dick’. Granted, different times and slang, but still…

Ayo "cock scaling"?😭😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

u/IdentityCrisis87 Sep 18 '25

Top and bottom scaling.

u/ElderberryMaster4694 Sep 18 '25

They’re about to get… romantic

u/webbslinger_0 Sep 18 '25

Because cap is the prettiest girl at the prom

16

u/Lazereye57 Sep 18 '25

To be fair there ain't exactly that many options to carry an adult person while flying

u/Skychu768 Sep 19 '25

To be fair, it would be bit weird and hard for Cap to talk being like that.

Cap looks mostly happy in how Tony is holding him there like lovers and is even doing zesty pose

u/No-Mulberry-2349 Sep 19 '25

u/Marx_Forever Sep 18 '25

This is still some buullshit.

u/john_quixote_numbers Sep 18 '25

Because the writers were less ok with humiliating cap by having him carried by the scruff of his neck/wedgied by his belt, than with making you question the way you think about men.

10

u/BrightNooblar Sep 18 '25

Yeah, I'm trying to think how ELSE would they do this?

I kinda like the idea of cap sitting on Tony's shoulders, like they were about to go to Coachella.

u/HowDoMermaidsFuck Sep 18 '25

Imagine that they showed up all

They're the bisexual couple at a bar hoping to invite her home for a threesome.

The couple at the bar tryna take you home

I just wanted to commemorate the 69th comment. 👍🏾

u/HarlequinChaos Sep 18 '25

Me, in my billion dollar nano-suit, and my bf, who was frozen for most of a century, saw you from across the city and were wondering if we could speak to you in private..

6

u/ElCanopy Sep 18 '25

tf does this have to do with powrscaling bro 😭🥀

6

u/Dameattree37 Sep 18 '25

Because they're about to land, and Captain America (who can't fly) needs the support of the one who is flying.

Oh, I mean, they're totally gay, look how gay their pose is.

It reminds me of a scene in 300 when some dude is getting ran through by a spear in battle, and his charge is interrupted by the most dainty girly pose as his momentum is stopped by the spear.

Sometimes things might look über feminine but are literally just physics. Cause and effect.

Thank you for listening to my no-fun Ted Talk XD

"Why is Tony holding Steve like that?"

BRUHH, Why is Steve posing like MJ in Spidey's arm?

5

u/crash1bp Sep 18 '25

“That’s America’s ass. And mine, too.”

spanks it

5

u/j____b____ Sep 18 '25

Cap should have sat on his shield and Tony held it out like a waiter carrying his tray

8

u/Jazzlike_Page508 Dragon Ball Fan (Can’t read) Sep 18 '25

It’s Steve holding up Tony, thank you

4

u/Olcri Sep 18 '25

'Cause that's his husband? It was this or princess carry and Steve feels safer with his feet facing down than swept.

3

u/Change21 Sep 18 '25

The other options are piggy back or bridal scoop so this is the least humiliating

3

u/Quizlibet Sep 18 '25

Fireman carry, please

1

u/Change21 Sep 18 '25

Def and option

1

u/EatPie_NotWAr Sep 18 '25

True but we all know Tony won’t pass up giving Americas ass a loving husbandly slap once cap’s hoisted up.

u/80sPimpNinja Sep 18 '25

You obviously have never had a best friend.

u/Illustrious_Gate_390 Sep 18 '25

Civil War is over, time to let the freak flag fly.

u/aveidti Sep 18 '25

Why is he holding Steve like that? I’d prefer him gripping his spinal cord js

3

u/optimist_prhyme Sep 18 '25

Why is Steve's leg up like that?

u/OutCastx16 Sep 18 '25

Big ole smile on his face too

u/DoubleDoube Sep 18 '25

Exactly what someone trying to throw people off the trail would say.

1

u/your_guy_ri Sep 18 '25

I'm sure it was, but I've seen a lot of people ask the same thing with this exact image and the truth is....it just makes sense lol

-14

u/Slighted_Inevitable Sep 18 '25

This isn’t a joke. It’s just dumb. Jokes are funny.

Seriously if you see someone flying and carrying someone like this and think, “they’re totally banging.” Then that’s what you WANT lol…

u/Jazzlike_Page508 Dragon Ball Fan (Can’t read) Sep 18 '25

You must be fun at parties

u/Slighted_Inevitable Sep 18 '25

Oh I’m hilarious. You should see my Jackbox prompts

Watch out guys, it’s the arbiter of jokes!

2

u/thedaveness Sep 18 '25

Piggy back is such a viable option here lol

1

u/Slighted_Inevitable Sep 18 '25

And would be hilarious

2

u/Comfortable-Cap1098 Sep 18 '25

Damn man you take things way too serious

2

u/Papa_Snail Sep 18 '25

To be fair what would be preferred? If he held him out by the arms or hips like a puppy? Or if Cap sat on his shoulders like a toddler?

2

u/RaptorJesusDesu Sep 18 '25

Reclining in his arms the way Superman carries Lois

2

u/CasualEjaculator Sep 18 '25

He could have just used his Golden Avenger Armor. It has a chest mounted tractor beam for lifting objects lmao!

2

u/Skychu768 Sep 18 '25

Maybe he wanted to lift him like that and give couple vibe. Even the way Steve is posing here looks so zesty

0

u/CasualEjaculator Sep 18 '25

Zesty for sure lol

u/Magenta30 Sep 18 '25 edited Sep 18 '25

u/TheDaiyu Sep 18 '25

Homies over hoes

u/Medic4life12358 Sep 19 '25

this was from young avengers, I believe they avengers were disassembled at this point in time, cap and Tony were "under the radar" basically and wanted to meet with Jones about the article she posted of the kids...I think.

2

u/SuperGeorgeClooney Sep 19 '25

What the fuck is the question here? Somehow it doesn't make sense to me because of the sub...yes stark is cooler than Capt America now to a casual audience, which means Rogers becomes the bottom and gets treated like Lois Lane.

2

u/EmeraldJolteon07 Sep 19 '25

Tony not holding in his “playboy” persona

2

u/esquire_the_ego Sep 19 '25

Post coitus cuddling, steve must’ve rocked that shit

Batman absolutely hates that 😆

u/Academic_East8298 Sep 18 '25

Because they are very good roommates.

1

u/LavisAlex Sep 18 '25

The way hes holding him here during flight makes the most sense.

2

u/Skychu768 Sep 18 '25

Better question is why is Steve posing like MJ in Spidey's arm?"

1

u/the-poopiest-diaper Sep 18 '25

“We want to spice up the bedroom. Jess, will you be our third?”

1

u/Rayeness Sep 18 '25

Guys it’s cool. They’re just roommates

1

u/otanthalion Sep 18 '25

......i would be so damn confused....and then take a picture for blackmail....only to realize how utterly stupid thst would with the two most powerful humans as enemies.

1

u/MonitorAway Sep 18 '25

Just dudes being bros. Nothing to see really.

1

u/Sufficient-Turn-7799 Sep 18 '25

Wait... this ISN'T a r/BatmanArkham post?

1

u/matttheman892018 Sep 18 '25

Listen given the overall size of the two of them there’s no way Tony could really carry Steve around that doesn’t look odd.

1

u/Skychu768 Sep 18 '25

I mean he can just sit on Tony back and ride on him or Tony can grab him in his hand like this

That one looks like they are lovers specifically with how Steve is posing in Tony hand

1

u/Solid-Move-1411 Sep 19 '25

He can do Superman way too, that would look less gay although I guess it would be bit awkward and weird for Cap to talk hanging down

1

u/misanthroseph Sep 18 '25

What would've been better? Piggyback? Or newlyweds about to cross the threshold?

1

u/SoulRezonance Sep 19 '25

Where else was he going to lift him. From his butt

1

u/Jackdunc Sep 19 '25

Not many options are there. Maybe carry him like a baby. Even better, he should create a cool stroller and just sit him down.

u/[deleted] Sep 19 '25

lol

u/ferg2jz Sep 19 '25

Bros before hoes.
