IIRC, there was an Elseworlds comic where he acted slightly differently and it worked out fine. It was framed with a Mysterious Stranger offering to show him what would have happened if he chose differently, as I recall. So it was just bad luck, I guess?
If he hadn’t threatened Captain America just before Clor went crazy, Cap would have joined forces with him to fight the Thor clone, ended up joining the pro-registration side, and he’s so damn trustworthy that everyone would have signed up. So yeah, it was basically karma.
Oh, and it was actually a What If?, not an Elseworlds. Those are DC, aren’t they?
He does, it’s true, I forgot it was him who did that. In Iron Man’s case, thinking like a supervillain had worked out… poorly.

I don’t know, I haven’t read the Elseworlds version. People tend to make their own luck though, good or bad...
