While Tony was on track to graduate summa cum laude from MIT and inherit a Fortune 500 company by the time he was Peter's age, he at least had an appreciation for the idea of living a normal life in the boy's case. And more than that, it was more than true he had violently enabled Peter's descent into chronic heroism. To be the one mentoring him to get halfway "on track" was ironic at best.
"Live the "best years of your life" and all that. Has anyone actually told you that, kid? Never listen to someone who peaked in high school. Anyway, you know what I mean."
