Iron Man, like almost all Marvel superheroes, had comics as a history. And although the films have become an international success, always remember that the book was first. In this article we bring you the differences that exist between the Iron Man comics and the movies.
Afghanistan
Iron Man's first comic was such of suspense #39. In the plot of this comic, which is the beginning of the superhero, Tony Stark is kidnapped by the Vietnamese, an event according to what was being lived in the time when it was written (Vietnam War). However, by adapting it to the cinema, they had to change this scenario for something more current, such as the conflict of Afghanistan, a war that at the time of launching the first film was latent and is still close to us.
Jarvis
In the films of Iron Man J.A.R.V.I.S it is the artificial intelligence created by Stark to help her in her creations and missions. But in the comics, Jarvis is the name of Tony Stark's butler. This is a change that also seeks to reflect a more current time and is quite ingenious, since Jarvis is, for practical purposes, as an assistant without rest at the service of Iron Man.
Identity
One of the most emblematic and fun parts of Iron Man's films, which is wink in other deliveries, is Stark's way to reveal his identity as Iron Man. Tony Stark, as cool as ever, feels very comfortable with the attention that he gives him to be Iron Man and does not tremble his pulse when he says in front of a thousand cameras and journalists. However, in comics, Stark takes 30 years to reveal your identity.
The Avengers the new "Illuminati"
In Iron Man's comics, this to protect the society from evil, create a secret society that calls “the Illuminati”, formed by Doctor Strange, Black Bolt (of the Inhumans), Black Panther (who renounces almost immediately), Charles “The Professor” Xavier, Reed Richards (of the Fantastic 4) and the prince Namor of the Atlantis. This is the group of superheroes that leads the actions that must be taken and the decisions are made by Stark as leader. Something similar we see in the Avengers movies. Because the group of avengers is created and led by Iron Man and it is they who decide at the end of the fate of the world.
