    Iron Man

    Character » Iron Man appears in 11210 issues.

    Tony Stark was the arrogant son of wealthy, weapon manufacturer Howard Stark. Tony cared only about himself, but he would have a change of heart after he was kidnapped by terrorists and gravely injured. Pressured to create a weapon of mass destruction, Stark instead created a suit of armor powerful enough for him to escape. Tony used his vast resources and intellect to make the world a better place as The Invincible Iron Man. Stark's super hero identity led him to become a founding member of the Avengers.

    Is Marvel Making Iron Man the New Wolverine??

    With the launch of Marvel NOW! it seems that Mr. Tony Stark is getting more than his fair share of the limelight. The iron-cladded hero is starring in three of the major team books currently, and yet to be, released. Specifically, Avengers, New Avengers, and Guardians of the Galaxy. Now, I've never been a stickler for continuity but being on three teams, one that takes place on Earth, one in the other galaxies, and one dealing with both Earth and outer space... it seems a bit much for Iron Man, no? I don't know, maybe it's because I'm not such a huge fan of the character, but I don't know how I feel about him taking up a spot on every roster.

    Maybe it's Robert Downey, Jr. or maybe it was Matt Fraction's run but Iron Man is starting to become so popular that soon he'll be able to rival Wolverine in appearances. How do you guys feel about this? Do you like more iron in your comic books?

    I think Iron Man shouldn't take ALL the spotlight! There won't be enough left for WAR MACHINE to do! Seriously! Jim Rhodes needs some love too!
