hmm...i'll be honest, i thought it was a little bit weird that the impending destruction of the entire world and possible enslavement of all of humanity wasn't enough to unite the Avengers, but the death of a random secondary character who had only ever been antagonistic with Thor, who Iron Man didn't really like, and who had little to no relationship with Cap and Hulk was THE catalyst required for unison.
i like his character fine and all, and i might go so far as to say he's my favorite secondary character of the Iron Man series (features much more prominently there than in the other Avengers movies, and in terms of that series, he's the only secondary character that isn't utterly one-dimensional), but well...i dunno. I think the Boba Fett thing is the perfect analogy. A character that's kinda cool, and a fine/solid secondary (or tertiary) character, but not one that deserves any sort of cult following.
