Iron Man has been adapted for several animated television shows and films. Throughout most of the character's publication history, Iron Man has been a founding member of the superhero team the Avengers and has been featured in several incarnations of his own various comic book series.

Subsequent re-imaginings of Iron Man have transitioned from Cold War motifs to contemporary matters of the time. Initially, Iron Man was a vehicle for Stan Lee to explore Cold War themes, particularly the role of American technology and industry in the fight against communism. Although at first concealing his true identity, Stark eventually publicly reveals himself to be Iron Man. He uses the suit and successive versions to protect the world as Iron Man. Later, Stark develops his suit, adding weapons and other technological devices he designed through his company, Stark Industries. When his captors attempt to force him to build a weapon of mass destruction, he instead creates a mechanized suit of armor to save his life and escape captivity. Also in 1963, the character founded the Avengers alongside Thor, Ant-Man, Wasp and the Hulk.Ī wealthy American business magnate, playboy, philanthropist, inventor and ingenious scientist, Anthony Edward Stark suffers a severe chest injury during a kidnapping. The character made his first appearance in Tales of Suspense #39 ( cover dated March 1963), and received his own title in Iron Man #1 (May 1968). The character was co-created by writer and editor Stan Lee, developed by scripter Larry Lieber, and designed by artists Don Heck and Jack Kirby. Iron Man is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Superhuman strength, speed, durability, agility, reflexes, and senses.After Yar’s gruesome death, Tony abandons his desire to escape and accepts this Attack on Titan-esque community as one that could be a positive and healing experience-if it weren’t for the man-eating robots randomly attacking the community.

Throughout the comic, Tony expresses skepticism as to why any of the refugees would want to stay on the planet, and why no one was attempting to find a way back to their former lives and homes. With their leader down for the count, Tony agrees to join Colin Richard and others to help defend the town. Considering the popularity of both manga and anime, it’s not unlikely that Marvel were inspired to use their own giant humanoid creature to attack and eat Iron Man’s new make-do community as well. The story follows a world where humanity is waging a war against giant humanoid creatures called Titans, who attack and eat people. The fight quickly turns nasty when one Ultimo scoops up Yar in a giant metal fist and bites down on Yar in a spray of blood that would have any Attack on Titan fan cringing in sympathy.Īttack on Titan has been a massive hit since arriving in the United States. The Ultimos aren’t all broken, however, which is a fact Tony learns the hard way when the massive robots start attacking his new town, smashing buildings and, horrifyingly, eating the community’s citizens. Tony enters the fray to defend his new community-one which he is reluctantly beginning to enjoy and appreciate-angling with the machines as they stomp through the town. Yar declares them “quite a quandary” and fellow community member Colin Richard, aka Avro-X, theorizes that this is the Ultimo home world, with the massive machine being what ultimately killed the planet’s previous inhabitants. In Iron Man #10, by Christopher Cantwell, Cafu, and Frank d’Armata, Tony decides to explore his new home and discovers the broken and abandoned bodies of giant robots scattered across the landscape-Ultimos, with power still in them to juice up Tony’s suit.
