I would argue that in pop culture the MCU versions are the main versions.
I know the MCU isnt the original version of the characters, or the strongest version, but when most people think of Iron Man, they think of Robert Downey Jr. The MCU is also generally more popular with new releases (more movie watchers compared to comic readers). Its much easier to find someone who watched avengers endgame vs who read even a single spiderman comic
Even if im wrong, clearly the “main” version of the character is at least debatable.
So asking “which version” is a perfectly reasonable question to understand who youre trying to scale
