    Iron Man

    Character » Iron Man appears in 11205 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.

    So, when Marvel relaunched Tony was broke, again, and I just didn't care for it. The last couple of time they did this I actually bought it. Not this time, why you ask, because when he's complaining in the new Avengers book about being broke (he even had to sell the tower), we had him in his solo book building a super powerful shape shifting armor. It just doesn't make any sense.

    @william300: That's because Bendis is writing it... The guy lives in his own continuity. Tony sold his tower in ANAD Avengers #1 and yet it appeared on CW II.

    But yeah, either way I don't care for "Tony is broke" stories that much.

    i like the idea that rich super heroes dont have unlimited money, and have consequences of being a super hero instead of doing their day job

    @amazingfantasy: Bendis is terrible. Only thing he ever wrote where he didn't mess up the continuity was Daredevil. That was over a decade ago.

    Agreed. Sh!t's stupid. They don't even explain how he went broke... Did Reed Richards bring Tony back to life with no money just for sh!t's and giggles?
