Iron Man: Difference between revisions

Line 93:

* [[Forging Scene]]: In the ''[[Iron Man]]'' film, there is the scene of Robert Downey, Jr., hammering away on a metal sheet, sweating in the forge-light... which makes the women ([[Even the Guys Want Him|and some of the men]]) in the audience go weak at the knees. Also, The second intro to the ''[[Iron Man (animation)|Iron Man]]'' animated series features one of these. Most other versions have a slightly different kind of montage, but that one has the scene complete with hammering.

* [[For Halloween I Am Going as Myself]]: Averted in ''Iron Man'' (vol. 3) #33 - Tony went to a costume party dressed as Captain America.

* [[Freaky Friday Flip]]: In ''Iron Man'' (vol. 1) #255, a bizarre mutant with the ability to manipulate radio signals (who settles on going by "Freak Quincy") inadvertently links up with the Russian microwave satellite that was empowering Devastator during a training exercise against the Crimson Dynamo, somehow switching the minds of Tony Stark (who was trying to stop Quincy as Iron Man) and Valentin Shalatov (the Dynamo). Shalatov's lack of familiarity with the Iron Man armor resulted in a rather... [[Nightmare Fuel|unfortunate accident for Quincy]], but Stark and Shalatov were able to find a way to reverse the process.<br /><br />The incident, although a "filler" issue as the comic was transitioning to the team of John Byrne and John Romita, Jr. at the time, was referenced much later on, when [[Enemy Mine|Shalatov needed Stark's help to stop the rampaging Titanium Man]] (the original, Boris Bullski).

* [[Friendship Moment]]: In ''Iron Man'' (vol. 1) #184, James Rhodes and two other guys were working on creating their own tech company, they were getting ready to leave for California. [[The Alcoholic|Tony Stark]] came up asking for a job. In the past few months he had [[Humiliation Conga|lost his company, lost access to his money, gave up being Iron Man and is homeless.]] Not only that but he had only spent a week being sober. Tony was afraid that he would be rejected for what happened. [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|But Rhodey and the others promptly accepted him.]]

* [[Gadgeteer Genius]]: Tony Stark, obviously, but also Ivan Vanko. Especially in the case of the latter, as he's working from a dingy little workshop in St. Petersburg, with resources nowhere the quality or quantity of Stark's. And he still manages to make a weapon that beats the crap out of Iron Man.
