Probably because of the whole otherworldly thing. We know he's not human in many aspects.
Also, his head is red with a glowy gem. That's gotta count.
On another note: there's been some controversy regarding comments by Chris Evans and Jeremy Renner about how Black Widow's a slut. That's relevant [and lame], but what really caught my eye is that Renner said that the reason why is because, supposedly, she slept with four of the Avengers. [I assume this is stuff in their characterization notes that they don't reveal to the public.]
That's interesting in way too many levels, to me.
lolwut? Super Spy/Assassin trained by an elite K.G.B. program (in some pretty hardcore and heinous ways, I might add) to do whatever it takes to complete the mission. And she slept with 4 of her teammates, in a purely casual/non-romantic way, I assume, since she's either too much of a pro or too mentally scarred to do the romance thing?
Yeah, I'm not seeing the big deal here or why that's a reason for slut-shaming. Hell, Stark is one of the biggest manwhores around.
Now if we were talking Susan Storm, then yeah, there'd be plenty of rotten fruit to be tossed, but that's because of the difference in background, characterization, and her ongoing commitment to the genius-yet-socially-retarded moron she calls a husband.
