That looks awesome. He's one of my favorite characters.

It made me want to head out to storage and dig out some comic books. I'm pumped.

That didn't happen until the 90s, after a few fill ins. When Stark reclaimed "Iron Man" ... he controlled it through telemetry.

Originally the suit was made for his heart condition.

Apart from Downey Jr being quite amusing at the beginning, it really doesn't look all that good.

I don't know if this is still the story but he originally built the iron man suit because he had shrapnel in his heart while being held prisoner by the viet-cong. Looks like they are going with something similar if not more up to date.

Sorry...

...But the roof has already been torn off by trained professionals:

Can I get a, "SUUUUUUUUUUU!"?

Shaolin WHAT.

[TheSmooth1]

Whoever they are, Ronnie James Dio would fucking pwn them. And not just with his ugly ass face.

[Skeeter]

I was more of an X-Men kid I guess.

The only reason I liked that trailer was because it portrayed Tony Stark to be every bit of the total asshole I always knew he was. I'll go see it, but only because I'm personally obligated to see every comic book and video game movie to support the industry. 'cept for Fantastic Four (they made Susan Storm a whiny selfish bitch) and anything directed by Uwe Boll, 'cause if I had a left nut, he'd be sucking it.

You'll have to make do with just the right.

It's sad when a girl has more balls than you, isn't it?

It's sad when a girl has more balls than you, isn't it?

Sadly I just pictured that.

[DCSL]

Ah, who doesn't like a good she-male?

[Asha]

So did I rofl.


Edit ~ I was responding to Sean2!!

Sadly I just pictured that.

And that brings this thread to 5 stars.

During an East Asian conflict, Stark Enterprises developed mini-transistors that Tony thought would help the war effort. While checking on his plant, which had been plagued by sabotage, Tony was injured by exploding shrapnel and captured by warlord Wong Chu. Chu forced Tony and another captive, famed physicist Ho Yinsen, to create weapons for him. All the time the shrapnel was slowly working on Tony’s heart, killing him. Tony and Yinsen created an iron suit that would keep Tony alive and allow them to escape. During the escape Yinsen was killed, sacrificing himself to allow Tony time to change for the first time to Iron Man. Iron Man made short work of Chu and his men.
On his way home Tony met Helicopter pilot James Rhodes - the future armored partner of Tony Stark called War Machine - and returned to America. After he arrived, Tony worked to improve the Iron Man armor and made Iron Man Tony Stark’s personal bodyguard to disguise his identity. In his early years Tony Stark became the corporate sponsor of the superhero group the Avengers and as Iron Man help found the group with Thor, Ant-Man, the Wasp, and the Hulk. Notable villains from these early days include Mandarin, Hawkeye, and the Black Widow.

Agreed X2.

And I didn't know Black Widow and Hawkeye were villains originally.

That was like in halo where you use a rocket launcher to kill your enemy and yourself. PWNED and then suicide.
