One of the writers of many comic books including Iron Man is going viral for her perfect way of vanquishing his son's preschool bully.
Christopher Cantwell, who also writes the comic Doctor Doom and the tech-themed AMC television series Halt and Catch Fire, recently took to Twitter to share his method for putting bullies in their place—leveraging his job to scare the bully into submission.
As Cantwell shared, he told his son to tell his bully his dad not only has the power to end the bully's favorite comic, but also to make it the bully's fault.
See his tweet below.
A kid in my son’s preschool bragged about reading Marvel Comics but he also pushed my son off the top of the slide, so I told my son to tell him that if that happens again, I’m going to kill Iron Man in the next issue and have him say as he’s dying “This is because of Ryan”

Stone cold!
Now that's what you call justice. Doesn't seem likely that Ryan's dad can do anything that would top killing off Iron Man.
This is the one plus ultra of "my dad can beat up your dad" taunts!
Now for those comic fans among you, don't worry—Cantwell followed up with a tweet confirming he will not be killing off the beloved Marvel character.
I obviously have power to do this and no message will be relayed, as much I’m tempted to engage in racketeering with children’s imaginations.

Cantwell tweeted:
"I obviously have power to do this and no message will be relayed, as much I’m tempted to engage in racketeering with children’s imaginations."
He then clarified in another tweet that he meant to type that he had "NO power to do this."
HA I meant "NO power" as in, NONE. I follow the rules and guidelines of the syllabus!

So Iron Man is definitely safe. Ryan, however? He better watch his back regardless.
People on Twitter absolutely loved Cantwell's version of justice.
Need this kind of power

I’m not saying that you should do it, BUT people named Ryan have had it a little too good lately and they need to know that the world sees it.

And many comics fans provided their own versions of Cantwell's Ryan-centric Marvel comics.

Cap just straight up shanks Tony Stark. "Ryan sends his regards."

Still it would be a monster move to show up at career day with a couple of Iron Man panels that show him dying “because of Ryan”.
Nobody said they have to get published.

We also would have accepted "My dad is going to create a stupid booger eating villain named Ryan & have Iron Man poop on his head".

Your move, Ryans of the world. Just know that Cantwell has your number.
