Iron Man is a fictional superhero who appears in comic books published by Marvel
Comics. The character debuted in Tales of Suspense #39 (March 1963), and was
created by writer-editor Stan Lee, scripter Larry Lieber, and artists Don Heck
and Jack Kirby.
Born Anthony Edward "Tony" Stark, he is an industrialist playboy and genius
engineer who suffers a severe heart injury during a kidnapping in which his
captors attempt to force him to build a massively destructive weapon. He instead
creates a powered suit of armor to save his life and escape captivity. He later
decides to use the suit to protect the world as Iron Man.[1] Through his
multinational corporation, Stark Industries, Tony created military weapons and
his own metal suit is laden with technological devices that enable him to fight
crime. Initially, Iron Man was a vehicle for Stan Lee to explore Cold War
themes, particularly the role of American technology and business in the fight
against communism. Subsequent re-imaginings of Iron Man have gradually removed
the Cold War themes, replacing them with more contemporary concerns such as
corporate crime and terrorism.
Throughout most of the character's publication history, Iron Man has been a
member of the superhero team the Avengers and has been featured in several
incarnations of his own various comic book series. Iron Man has been adapted for
several animated TV shows and films. The character is portrayed by Robert
Downey, Jr. in the live action film Iron Man (2008), which was a box office
success. Downey will reprise the role in the upcoming sequel, Iron Man 2, and
also played the character in a cameo in The Incredible Hulk (2008). |
