- Iron Man is a human from the Generation 1 continuity family and the Marvel portion of the Crossovers franchise.
Iron Man, aka Anthony Edward Stark, appears to be the most sensible member of his species. While a normal, squishy human would be content to walk around vulnerable to attack, he has taken the surprisingly logical step of encasing himself in a metal suit carrying advanced weapons like a proper being.
He is not G.B. Blackrock.
Fiction
IDW Generation 1 comics
Iron Man, not content with being clad in a military-grade armored suit capable of tackling tanks and fighter jets head-on, created an even bigger suit to tackle Cybertronian threats. Man and Machine, Part Two The new armor proved quite the energy guzzler, nearly expending all its reserves during a battle against some Decepticons in Latveria. Man and Machine, Part Three It was then dangerously supercharged by an infusion from the internal reactors of the Autobots, causing it to shut down. Megatron severed its head with a blast from his fusion cannon. Man and Machine, Part Four
Marvel Crossovers toy bios
Working with Mister Fantastic, Iron Man used alien technology to build transforming battle suits for the most marketable of Earth's heroes. Being a control freak, the one he built for himself has an override system allowing him to take control of the rest.[1]
Later, Iron Man painted his battle suit black in order to disguise it as a regular fighter jet and lull his enemy, Doctor Doom, into a false sense of security.[2] At some point, he built himself a new suit, along with one for Spider-Man. These two mechs had the ability to combine with each other.[3]
Toys
Crossovers
- Iron Man (Marvel, 2008/2009)
- Accessories: Two missiles
- The Marvel Crossovers Iron Man transforms into a fighter jet of madeup-make, bearing more than a passing resemblance to an F-22 Raptor with a stubby nose cone and large/stretched wings, under-slung with non-firing missiles. Each wing is also equipped with a spring-loaded missile launcher, which can be mounted on the undersides of his robot-mode forearms.
- This mold was later redecoed in gray and black. Note that the toy pictures on the packaging have a different color scheme than the actual toy.
- Iron Man (Marvel, 2009)
- Accessories: Two missiles
- A black and gray redeco of the previous Iron Man toy resembling Iron Man Armor Model 11 or War Machine.
- Spider-Man / Iron-Man (Marvel two-pack, 2009)
- Accessories: Two missiles
- This Iron Man toy transforms into a "flying wing" style stealth bomber with two firing missiles under its wings. He comes packaged with Spider-Man (who transforms into a helicopter), and can combine with him in either mode to form a "giant super bomber" or a robot mode that mostly just looks like Spider-Man wearing an Iron Man plane hat.
- Iron Man (Marvel, 2010)
- Iron Man transforms into a sports car. He features two flip-down non-firing blasters in his shoulders.
- Iron Man / War Machine (Marvel two-pack, 2010)
- Iron Man (Lightcycle) and War Machine (SWAT vehicle) combine into a Super Bomber.
Notes
- Reprints of Iron Man stories were run as a back-up strip in early issues of the Marvel UK Transformers comics. Further reprints featuring the present day Iron Man appeared in issues #126-129 and #146-152. The Iron Man of 2020 also appeared in a crossover with Spider-Man reprinted in issues #119-125.
- Early stock photos gave the original Iron Man toy's redeco a different color scheme, one that resembled Iron Man Armor Model 01 and featured silverish gold in place of the black parts.
- Iron Man is voiced by David Kaye in the cartoon Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes as a guest character. Voice acting is a small world, yeesss.
