Spiderman:The Other was actually the first comic I ever saw Steve and Tony in. I was reading along, having picked it up from the library because it was about Spiderman, and suddenly Spiderman was on a team with this hot blond guy who was apparently Captain America (Me: "Huh. Captain America is a lot younger than I thought.") and rich-guy-with-a-goatee who clearly had a thing going with Captain America (me: "Captain America has a boyfriend! Captain America's boyfriend build tech stuff and spies on his teammates with it and awkwardly tries to comfort Cap when they think Peter's dead! I love Cap's boyfriend! What superhero is he, anyway?").

Then I renting the Ultimate Avengers DVD a few months later, and the Avengers officially owned my soul (I was crushed to pick up Ultimates and discover that the people from the cartoon basically weren't in it). And then I started reading the comics, right in time for Civil War. Which on the one hand proved my Captain America's boyfriend theory right, but on the other hand...
