No sweat, man. Many fans then, and even more in this new crop, are pretty oblivious to the Initiative. That's what happens when readers stick to the 'fad' books, they miss the gems hidden in plain sight. The Initiative is what actually gave CW gravitas. We got to see the wider fallout of Stamford, CT's tragic event playing out through the pages of the book.


Marvel Legends fans are not even aware of the Legends we got because of the Initiative: off the top? - four Iron Spiders, an Initiative War Wachine, extremis Iron Man, and an anachronistic (the timing was out place and nonsensical, except for his regularly being featured in the Initiative) Yellow Jacket. Hank's fig even boasted what appeared to a redundant color variant - a deeper, richer yellow with a metallic luster consistent with his appearance in the book - while the standard version was a flat yellow, which I assume denotes the original YJ (I have both...again...bent lol).
