Well, quite! Obviously the Jedi Council can't be too clear about what exactly this rogue Jedi Master gets up to, because it sounds so reasonable when you spell it out. You have to be very advanced in the Force to understand why 'We Should Use Our Powers To Help People' is dangerous seditious talk. So they just hint at the terrible powers he commands (and that's true, he's very powerful) and generally suggest that any young Jedi encoutering him should bolt, as he is a menance. Tony, of course, takes no notice of that and ends up with this totally gorgeous, well-dressed and charming captive who wants to share his views on... you know, passion. And stuff. And his views sound fascinating and Tony can't quite see how they're evil, so he thinks about them more and more, trying to work out the flaw in them. And then he decides to set a trap that the Dark Jedi might reveal his true colours; he lets him get in violence-range, expecting him to attack, and then Tony will be all reassured that he was just trying to lull Tony into a false sense of security. (This is a very dangerous plan, of course, but hello, Tony.) However, it turns out that violence-range is also close enough for hands-on demonstration of his exciting philosophy, and that is definitely something Tony is not equipped to deal with.
This fic would also have sexually inexperienced Tony being educated by Steve. Just saying.
OH OH MAYBE the reason Steve holds such different views from the rest of the Temple is that he was a famous Jedi from a long time ago, believed dead but then discovered frozen in carbonite! :D And the Jedi have changed while he has been frozen, and he Does Not Approve.
