Go ahead, hum that [[Black Sabbath]] song. [[Ear Worm|You know you want to]].
Line 8 ⟶ 9:
Tony Stark was a playboy billionaire industrialist until a battlefield explosion left him with a damaged heart that threatened to kill him. Captured by the enemy forces, he is forced into manufacturing weaponry to aid them. Instead he secretly designed and built a suit of armor ''[[Memetic Mutation|in a cave, with a box of scraps]]'' to keep his heart beating and to escape from his captors, and in the process became the superhero known as Iron Man. The character first appeared in ''Tales of Suspense'' #39 (March, 1963), created by writers [[Stan Lee]], and Larry Lieber, along with artists Don Heck and [[Jack Kirby]]. He has served as the protagonist of several series since that time.
Currently,{{when}} he can be found in ''Invincible Iron Man'' -- a rather character-driven title that deals with the troubles of Tony Stark, as well as the politics of Iron Man. The writer Matt Fraction has modeled the plot after [[Marvel Cinematic Universe|the movies]] to some extent to make it a feasible jumping on point for new fans.
Until the end of ''[[Crisis Crossover|Secret Invasion]]'', there was a second title, ''Iron Man: Director of S.H.I.E.L.D'' -- a politics and espionage-based book, dealing with Stark's role as head of the international security organization. The last few issues were handed to Iron Man's ally War Machine, who has now been granted his own solo series, called "Iron Man 2.0", which is his third (after the 1994 and 2009 ongoing series).
