Spying on the Avengers was brilliant. He doesn't brag, that's Stark. As far as the cure for Cancer, there were concerns about what the Western World would do with it by the Wakandians. I don't think that makes him a dickhead, but maybe you do.
I wouldn't call him a dickhead. When it comes to comics and world changing social issues, it's sort of a given that these heroes don't play god. If he's a dickhead, then you can say that about everyone else who have the capacity for worldwide change. I'm sure Reed and Tony can cure many of the world's ills through their haxed tech. Should Reed lend his expertise on trans galactic travel to all the world's governments? Man as a species would hail him as a hero. Should Tony offer his repulsor technology to solve the world's energy troubles? I'm sure third world countries would benefit.. Or why doesn't Pym lend his teleport tech to city transit authorities? Imagine how productive each individual can be if they never have to sit through traffic or ride the subways like a sardine in a can. Or maybe Thor offering to cure cancer to all patients other than his ex gf? So selfish of him!
Pandora's box here.
If he's a dick, I would choose another reason and would stay far away from anything resembling curing the plague of the 20th century.

LMAO, are you forgetting what Namor did to the people of his nation? He told him straight up they were at war and that he was going to kill him, so stop with the betrayal nonense. Namor is lucky that the Cabal found it in their black hearts to save his ass. Oh, and you excuse for Tony holding back his repulor tech was beyond lame.

Namor was possessed by the Phoenixforce. Quicksilver was never blamed for Chthon possessing him. The only reason Namor gets blamed is because (i) he's a mutant; and (ii) his pride forces him to shoulder the blame. Namor went behind his own nation's back to request peace revealing he had spies and inside intelligence to T'Challa because he knew the Illuminati had bigger concerns than their nations' petty feud. T'Challa didn't do sh1t to ensure that peace and lured Namor away right when they snuck attack Atlantis.
And Tony isn't holding back his repulsor tech. After the Five Nightmares storyline he was trying to spread it to the world through consumer-grade tech and Mandarin City.
