You mean the person in charge of marketing should not realize and recognize that Iron Man is the most popular and recognizable of the Avengers cast at this point?

Vehicle drivers are nearly always cheap repaints/kitbashes regardless of the line. If it wasn't Iron Man, it'd be Captain America, or Thor. They're not going to give us a high-quality "new" Hawkeye or Black Widow as a vehicle pack-in when they can sell them to us for $10.99 on a single-card.

All the vehicle drivers have been crap, that's why I just ignore them. And yes, it makes no sense for Iron Man to have a jet, or an ATV, or a motorcycle, or a HumVee. However most preteen kids (who are the primary target audience for this stuff no matter what we adult collectors might think) tend to care a lot less about that kind of stuff than we do.

Personally? My biggest disappointment is the size. I think they could have forgone the 3 foot glorified display stand that is the Helicarrier, and just focused on making a bigger Quinjet that could actually fit most or all of the team inside. The Quinjet is a transport, not a jet fighter....
