Typically, Tony likes to do things on his own, but one of the worst things he's ever done to someone came as a result of a little clubhouse he was in. Tony was one of the members of the Illuminati, which consisted of himself, Reed Richards, Namor, Doctor Strange, Black Panther, Professor Xavier, and Black Bolt.

The group determined that the forthcoming Civil War would be a lot easier to win if the Hulk was out of the picture. To this end, they tricked him into heading out into space to offer some assistance with a problem they were having.

What they were really doing was sealing the Hulk off in a spaceship and blasting him into space. The plan was to put him on a nice peaceful planet where he could be left alone, but it didn't work out that way. Instead, he got pulled into a wormhole and deposited on Sakaar.

He became a gladiator, and then a champion. He was content to live out his days with the family he was creating there, but then the spaceship that took him to Sakaar went and exploded, killing most of the people he cared about. Tony (and the rest) got their payback in the form of a Hulk beatdown, but you can't really blame the big green guy for getting angry about the situation.
