Iron Man It is perhaps one of the most emblematic characters of Marvel. His chulesca personality, his apparent passotism and ingenious phrases, have conquered the entire world and made him a character that all Marvel geek respects. But do you know what I know Stan Lee inspired to create it? Then we tell you.
Lee has always talked about Tony Stark has a lot of Texan multimillionaire Howard Hughes, that at the time that Iron Man's comics were created, he was very successful. Hughes was a magnate, engineer, aviator and American filmmaker. Was known for his double facet of Millionaire and Adventurer Creator. Just the mixture that makes Tony Stark a unique and original character. Lee himself defined Hughes as "an inventor, an adventurer, a man of ladies and, finally, a madman." "Without being crazy, Iron Man was Howard Hughes”.
Lee's idea was to create a character that had the Sympathy of the lower classes, which were the ones that at that time consumed comics. At the time the comics came out, it was full Vietnam War, so there was a deep hatred of weapons and war in society. The idea was to create a millionaire weapons, who in principle would capture everyone's attention for their hate "pacifier".
Without knowing it, Lee built one of the main pillars of what Marvel industry is now, a character hated and loved in equal parts. Because Iron Man's ability is precisely that, not to leave anyone indifferent, both for good and for worse.
