To save a dog and tell the world that he is Iron Man? The world in comics is very strange!
With the success of the "Iron Man" movies, fans often forget that this shiny Avenger is not actually a major protagonist in the Marvel Universe. He was never really an A-list star until Robert Downey Jr. breathed new life into the character with humor and charm.
The beneficiary of the Civil War incident was actually Captain America, who became even more popular. However, fans did not approve of Tony leading the side that supported the signing of the agreement. Because Iron Man's popularity relies heavily on movies, people tend to ignore him in the comics. But he is really different in the comics. Different background settings
In the very first scene of the "Iron Man" movie, Tony was on his way to Afghanistan. The army escorted him through the desert, but he was ambushed, which brought him a subsequent rebirth. However, since most Americans probably didn't know the name "Afghanistan" in 1963, Iron Man's first appearance took place in a place that was more well-known at the time: Vietnam.
Because it was a story line with a war, Vietnam became a suitable background at the time. In fact, Stan Lee knew who his readers were at the time, and he wanted to create a character that challenged himself and his readers. The old readers at that time and our younger generation of fans today are all children in a peaceful era. If there is one thing they hate most, it is war.
Stan Lee also pointed out that Tony was a weapons manufacturer, very rich, and all he made was war fortune. No one would like his character, so he pushed such a person to the readers. It would be fun to force them to like her in her arms. It is this kind of "boldness" that has caused Marvel fans to criticize Tony for so many years. Thinking that all women love him
Tony in the movie is a diamond king who attracts bees and butterflies. It was the same in the comics, where girls liked him, but Stan Lee always believed that this attraction had expanded to the whole world. Because in all the comics published by Marvel, girls have never been the main readers, but if there are girls who send emails or write letters to praise, it is "Iron Man".
At the premiere of "Iron Man 2", Robert Downey Jr. even joked about this incident. He told reporters that he thought girls would like Iron Man because he is a bit fragile and can Reminiscent of her nosy boyfriend. ?Iron Man really likes dogs
If you watch "Iron Man", you will find that Tony actually kept his identity secret for most of his life. The ending of "Iron Man" makes perfect sense, and Tony wonders if anyone actually believed the story that Iron Man was Tony's bodyguard. But in fact, everyone in the Marvel Universe bought it and never doubted it for more than ten years.
Even though it has been on the scene for many years, it was not until 2002 that he officially acknowledged his identity in public. Why did you choose to make it public at this time? Because a villain is blackmailing him, he can only save the world by admitting his identity. He had no choice, maybe because he felt it was time to take responsibility and tell everyone that he was not only Tony, but also Iron Man.
And the only reason is to save a dog. The dog ran from home onto the street and was about to be hit by a car robbing a bank. At this moment, Tony jumped off the building, putting on his own armor in the process. The dog was saved, the person who robbed him was caught, and the whole world was safe, but he also saw the process of saving people. But his girlfriend was very angry. The suit originally had a nose, and it was very ugly
Just like what Raj pointed out in "The Big Bang Theory", he said that Stan Lee's character names are very interesting, with first and last names. The initials are the same, Peter Parker (PP), Bruce Banner (BB), Deadpool Wade Wilson (WW) and so on. Basically, the names of superheroes in the Silver Age all had this theme. The characteristics of these names can help Stan Lee remember who is who.
But if Iron Man wants to be remembered by Stan Lee, he needs additional characteristics. According to records in "Marvel Comics: The Untold Story", in 1974, when Stan Lee was chatting with Roy, the then "Iron Man" chief writer, he raised a question: "He shouldn't have a nose." ? ?Although it seemed to Roy that this was a casual comment, it caused chaos in the office.
In the 68th issue of "Iron Man", Iron Man had a nose on his armor. But the "Iron Nose" thing only lasted for a year and a half, and Stan Lee had another idea. By 1976, he was mainly dealing with creative matters, but occasionally looked at the effects of his own comic books. According to the book, one day when he checked "Iron Man", he pointed to the nose on the Iron Man suit in the comic and said: "What is this?" Why are you here? ?
An unknown Marvel employee nearby asked him if he didn’t want the nose anymore. Stan Lee's answer was really honest: "It does look weird." ?Just like that, by the 85th issue of "Iron Man", the nose was gone. Rich people get fired too
As a weapons company boss and billionaire, Tony isn't very good at keeping his job. In the 78th issue of "Iron Man" in 2004, Tony became the Minister of Defense. Of course, given his character, this job would not last long. That same year, in Avengers #500, Tony made a fool of himself in public. Iron Man, who was delivering a speech at the United Nations on behalf of the government, found himself inexplicably drunk, but he didn't drink anything.
You must know that Iron Man has a history of alcohol and drug abuse. When he is drunk, he seems to be a different person. Many people in the audience saw Tony's embarrassment and secretly laughed at him. of. He was very angry about this and made various threats to the people who were giggling below. Fortunately, the original Ant-Man and Black Panther stopped him from doing anything too violent.
But this incident cost him his job. There was another high-profile appointment later. In 2007, after Civil War, Iron Man was appointed leader of S.H.I.E.L.D. He gained a lot of public trust during the Civil War until he was fired again in early 2009 following the Secret Invasion and failure to foresee the Skrull infiltration of Earth. I've always been a little wary of the Hulk
The 131st issue of "Iron Man" in 1980 can be regarded as the beginning of a trilogy and the beginning of the conflict between Iron Man and the Hulk. Tony is stranded on the highway as the Hulk crashes into a fruit cart and starts eating all kinds of things! In the next second practice, Iron Man made a desperate move and took a big risk.
When the Hulk was suddenly dizzy due to the explosion of the private plane, Iron Man took this opportunity to concentrate the power of his entire armor so that he could KO the Hulk in one round. Because this moment was too fierce and intense, his armor immediately fell apart after being beaten out. Fortunately, Ant-Man took the opportunity to save him. Although this last paragraph is considered "iron man's unerasable black history", Tony did succeed and sent the Hulk into space with a rocket.
Although he has never defeated the Hulk without dragging off the armor, Tony has always been a person who wins in intelligence tests, and he has always been a little wary of the Hulk. The Hulkbuster armor explains it all, so this With two victories, he proved his strength. Anti-Thor armor?
What we often know is probably the "Hulkbuster Armor" developed by Tony, but this is not the only thing Tony has made that can fight against the Avengers. Under the intensification of Doctor Doom, there is a bit of discord between Iron Man and Thor. Under normal circumstances, Thor and Iron Man can be evenly matched, but this time Thor has the power of Odin.
A stalemate occurred. He was stronger than ever. Because he didn't know how to defeat him, Iron Man suddenly remembered what he had done? Anti-Thor Armor. Thor had previously given Tony a crystal-like Asgardian energy stone as a gift. Tony used these crystals as a source of power to create a suit. Although the appearance was no different from his classic model, it was indeed enhanced. .
It can be said that this suit of armor is of little use to Thor. It was broken after a few hits, and Tony even bounced out of the suit. To be fair, Tony wasn't to blame. At that time, Thor had reached the point of being arbitrary, and he started the war by hitting people first. He also accidentally injured Captain America who was trying to break up the fight. But Thor, under the influence of the explosion, hit Captain America's shield with a hammer!
