SMUDGE SAYS: Tony Stark, another playboy billionaire on the list. He uses his intellect and vast fortune to fight evil under his super armour.
Tony's definitely had his share of challenges in his storied career. He's battled Mandarin, a powerful ancient wizard, Fin Fang Foom, a giant godzilla-like creature, and Ultron. One of Stark's greatest battles was against the bottle. |
NAME: Iron Man
HEIGHT: 6'1"; (in armor) 6'6". |
It was the story arc that covered alcoholism that really endeared Iron Man to comic book fans. Sure, he was arrogant, rich, hooked up with tons of ladies. But he also had personal issues that interested readers. He had internal struggles that elevated him from stock Marvel character to a real player.
The Iron Man movie did well in theatres and the former alcoholic Robert Downey Jr. was cast to play the former alcoholic Tony Stark. Art imitates life. |
