MARVEL: IRON MAN
Since making his first appearance in Tales of Suspense #39 in 1963, Tony Stark has helmed the multinational defense corporation Stark Industries while attempting to keep his alter ego—metal-encased super hero Iron Man—a secret. Iron Man has remained one of the world’s top super heroes for nearly fifty years, using his man-made suit of armor to banish crime wherever he goes.
