fWotD Episode 2725: Iron Man Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Sunday, 20 October 2024 is Iron Man.Iron Man is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Co-created by writer and editor Stan Lee, developed by scripter Larry Lieber, and designed by artists Don Heck and Jack Kirby, the character first appeared in Tales of Suspense #39 in 1962 (cover dated March 1963) and received his own title with Iron Man #1 in 1968. Shortly after his creation, Iron Man became a founding member of the superhero team, the Avengers, alongside Thor, Ant-Man, the Wasp, and the Hulk. Iron Man stories, individually and with the Avengers, have been published consistently since the character's creation.Iron Man is the superhero persona of Anthony Edward "Tony" Stark, a businessman and engineer who runs the weapons manufacturing company Stark Industries. When Stark was captured in a war zone and sustained a severe heart wound, he built his Iron Man armor and escaped his captors. Iron Man's suits of armor grant him superhuman strength, flight, energy projection, and other abilities. The character was created in response to the Vietnam War as Lee's attempt to create a likeable pro-war character. Since his creation, Iron Man has been used to explore political themes, with early Iron Man stories being set in the Cold War. The character's role as a weapons manufacturer proved controversial, and Marvel moved away from geopolitics by the 1970s. Instead, the stories began exploring themes such as civil unrest, technological advancement, corporate espionage, alcoholism, and governmental authority.Major Iron Man stories include "Demon in a Bottle" (1979), "Armor Wars" (1987–1988), "Extremis" (2005), and "Iron Man 2020" (2020). He is also a leading character in the company-wide stories Civil War (2006–2007), Dark Reign (2008–2009), and Civil War II (2016). Additional superhero characters have emerged from Iron Man's supporting cast, including James Rhodes as War Machine and Riri Williams as Ironheart, as well as reformed villains, Natasha Romanova as Black Widow and Clint Barton as Hawkeye. Iron Man's list of enemies includes his archenemy, the Mandarin, various supervillains of communist origin, and many of Stark's business rivals.Robert Downey Jr. portrayed Tony Stark in Iron Man (2008), the first film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and continued to portray the character until his final appearance in Avengers: Endgame (2019). Downey's portrayal popularized the character, elevating Iron Man into one of Marvel's most recognizable superheroes. Other adaptations of the character appear in animated direct-to-video films, television series, and video games.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:50 UTC on Sunday, 20 October 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Iron Man on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Joey.

Nosh pastrami with Glenn Hauman as we discuss how he shook things up during the earliest days of electronic publishing, the embarrassing high school newspaper writings of Ted Chiang, the way the assembly-line nature of comics keeps many creatives from seeing the big picture, why he's nobody's first choice for anything but everybody's second choice for everything, his pre-teen encounters with another pre-teen fan who eventually became a Marvel Comics Executive Editor, the philosophical question he asked actor Michael O'Hare just before Babylon 5 began to air, the lunch that led to his first published short story being about the X-Men, what visiting Don Heck's house at age 12 taught him about artists and taking an art class from John Buscema at age 13 taught him about himself, the plot of the Warren Worthington novel he never got a chance to write, the free speech lawsuit which had him going head to head with the Dr. Seuss estate, plus much more.
Ross and Billy are back to talk Defenders, and this time it's Giant-Size Defenders 3 and 4. The guys both are fans of Marvel's Giant-Size comics from the 70s. These are two very different stories from Steve Gerber, Jim Starlin, Don Heck, and rest of the creative teams.

In which the Mister and Monsters join me in reviewing GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3 (2023) in theaters now. From writer/director, James Gunn, from Marvel Studios and characters created by Jim Starlin, Stan Lee, Larry Lieber, Jack Kirby, Steve Englehart, Don Heck, Roger Stern, John Buscema, Sal Buscema, Bill Mantlo, Keith Giffen and Steve Gan. In this third and final installment of the James Gunn helmed GoTG stories, we follow as Peter/StarLord (Chris Pratt) is still reeling from the loss of Gamora (Zoe Saldana) and the rest of the Guardians are trying to continue on. This film's main focus is Rocket (Bradley Cooper) and his backstory which is absolutely heartbreaking. The High Evolutionary (exquisitely played by Chukwudi Iwuji) is the big heavy of the story and the Guardians must band together to save the universe once again and one of their own. This is a MUST WATCH! The film clocks in at 2 h 30 m and is rated PG-13. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.

Avec une pointe de retard, nous voici de retour ! Comme vous le savez si vous nous écoutez, l'émission Front Page est la plus régulière de nos podcasts. Le concept est simple : nous revenons trois fois par mois (une fois tous les dix jours environ) afin de détailler ce qui fait le sel de l'actualité comics, mais aussi de ses adaptations. Il n'y a en général aucune émission qui ne soit pas gorgée d'actu' diverses et variées, parce que cette industrie culturelle ne prend, elle, jamais de vacances. Et donc ? Nous aussi ! Débrief estival d'actualité comics Quelque part, on s'étonne presque de n'avoir failli pour le moment à aucun moment de la tenue du Front Page, et ce depuis maintenant bientôt trois ans. On vous propose donc à nouveau de nous écouter pour une longue première partie dédiée aux comics - car c'est le médium qui nous intéresse principalement - avant de revenir sur quelques moments chauds en ce qui concerne la télévision et le cinéma !

The Not Funny Guys Present - Why?: Exploring the Philosophy, Rhetoric, and Cultural Impact of the MCUI am your host Dr. Jon and I'm joined by my best friend Eric. We are here to explore and discuss different aspects and ideas floating around in the MCU as we on our other podcast explore the films, here, we will explore some of the ideas that stick out in some vigorous debate. Starting by asking: Why?This is Episode 1:The Perils and Pitfalls of the Boy Genius Club: Tony Stark and Bruce BannerComic Book OriginsHulk came first. Dr. Robert Bruce Banne/Hulk was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and appeared in May 1962 in his own title, The Incredible Hulk. The Bruce and Hulk dynamic comes off in much of his early stories as a clear case of DID, dissociate identity disorder (what we used to call split personality disorder). Powers unlocked by Gamma Bomb exposure after saving a young man, Rick Jones.Lee admitted that his inspiration behind Hulk was a combination of Frankenstein and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.Iron Man and Anthony Edward “Tony” Stark is based on brilliant inventor/manufacturer/all around recluse Howard Hughes. The character was created by Stan Lee, his brother Larry Lieber, Don Heck, and Jack Kirby. He first appeared in Tales of Suspense #39 in March 1963. Originally captured in Vietnam, not Afghanistan, he develops the armor to stay alive before escaping. It is noted that Stan Lee envisioned Tony Stark as a means to explore Cold War themes, American technology and industry engagement in the fight against Communism.In the MCUThere is a lot to say, and there will be more to discuss, but with their emergences in the MCU, we find two men who are qualified geniuses seeking to experiment on themselves. One, Tony Stark is the picture of necessity in his development of Iron Man. Two, Bruce Banner, a man driven to prove his experiment end up backfiring on his.Both realize that mistakes were made. Tony, it is his weapons who he becomes Iron Man to do away with and make things right. Bruce, once he becomes the Hulk is concerned about the dangers of his own blood being used to hurt others.Premise of DiscussionHow do we feel about this look considering their origins and place in our culture today? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
What better way to follow up a release of the Time Bubble than to dip our toe into the origins of three (or is it one...?) of Marvel's timey-whimiest villains for our latest in the Introducing...series. And best of all, Murd, Chris and Ian do so in studio! That's right, revel in the comradery as the Timely Trio discuss Fantastic Four issue 19, and Avengers issues 8 and 10, the first appearances of Rama-Tut, Kang, and Immortus. All three of these issues were written by Stan the Man himself, with art by King Kirby for the first two, and Don Heck for our finale. Prepare to be transformed by the rays of the Egyptian sun, be sure to shield yourself for all sorts of random radiation (and acid), and ponder whether or not the villain attacking you is dreamy under that full face mask. Finally, by the time you're done with this one, you too will be a master of Yubiwaza, this we guarantee; Teen Brigade interference and all. Excelsior! (1:51:52)

Welcome back to the final discussion of Silver Age comics! This week, MMP explores Tales of Suspense #58, written by Stan Lee, with art by Don Heck and colors by Dick Ayers. Stan Lee proves yet again that he was ahead of his time in the world of comics. Although the story contains a typical Silver Age-style plot that fits into the confines of the comics code authority, it still does a good job of finding new ways to be creative. With humor and a generally light-hearted tone, this comic reminds us that reading a comic can still be fun while also making important commentary. The artwork may not quite be up to the level of Jack Kirby, but Don Heck and Dick Ayers's contributions cannot go overlooked. Listen in, as the gang discusses the Silver Age one last time. Find out what Iron Man and Captain America are fighting about this time!
Hilary is joined by reigning Queen of Halloween Sally Jacoby Murphy for a discussion on The Mark of the Monster from The X-Men #40 by Roy Thomas and Don Heck.

Chow down on butter chicken with Paul Kupperberg as we discuss which superhero starred in his first favorite comic book, the reasons we're in agreement when it comes to the Stan Lee vs. Jack Kirby debate, why his introduction to Superman had nothing to do with comics, what we each felt was lacking in our own early comic book writing, the surprising identity of the DC editor whose books sold the best, what caused legendary artist Don Heck to curse him out, the special challenges of writing comic strips, how he needed to get ready (or not) before writing all those legacy characters, what it was like rebooting Doom Patrol, which Archie character's death upset him so much he had to step away from the keyboard, and much more.

Things get chaotic as we discuss HAVOK! Is this Summers brother as… difficult as Scott? Tune in to find out! Intro AMA for 150 Background (1:57) Havok (Alex Summers) created by Arnold Drake and Don Heck in The X-Men #54 (March 1969) Alex Summers is the younger Summers son - he and his older brother Scott were in a plane crash piloted by their father Christopher - the boys survived the crash, though Scott was in a coma for a while Raised in an orphanage before being adopted by a family whose son died in a car crash - he was kidnapped by the same person responsible for the young boy's death, but Alex's powers of plasma blasts manifested and he burned the boy - Mr. Sinister discovered Alex and put a psi-block on him to help him control his powers Later captured by Larry Trask & the sentinels - given the code name Havok, as he had difficulty controlling his powers Joined the X-Men and began an on-again/off-again relationship with Polaris - they later quit to focus on their relationship Alex learned that his father was Corsair of the Starjammers Had a brief relationship with Madelyne Pryor, Scott's ex-wife, while she was working as the Goblin Queen, and she manipulated him to help her take over the world, until she discovered she was a clone of Jean Grey and killed herself #BecauseComics Joined X-Factor, a government sponsored mutant group, and eventually led the team for a while - he left after Multiple Man's death at the hands of the Legacy Virus For a time, Alex was sent to an alternate universe, where he discovered that universe's version was married to Madelyne and had a child named Scott - Alex served as a father figure for a while until he was returned to his reality Returned in a coma - fell in love with his nurse, Annie, but he still had feelings for Polaris, and they got engaged - Alex left her at the altar because of his lingering feelings for Annie, and Polaris tried to kill her before being stopped by Juggernaut and Alex Joined his father and learned he had a younger brother, Vulcan, who is head of the Shi'ar Empire - Vulcan kills Corsair, and Havok battles Vulcan but is defeated Later serves as head of the Avengers Unity Squad after Avengers vs X-Men, since Captain America wants a mutant to lead the team after Xavier's death at the hands of Scott During AXIS, his morality is inverted, and he reconciles with Scott, but remains corrupted after the spell is reversed He is currently living on Krakoa with all mutants, spending time with his family in the Summer House on the Moon Issues - Theme: instability befitting his name (7:24) Nature of relationship with Scott - “Good” Scott vs. “Bad” Alex Hero, villain, and in-between (15:17) Can't catch a break, and he knows it (22:33) Break (31:29) Plugs for BetterHelp, Grief Burrito, and Chris Claremont Treatment (33:04) In-universe - Use his suit as a form of biofeedback to allow him to get better in tune with himself Out of universe - (38:24) Skit (45:22) Hello Alex, I'm Dr. Issues. - Hello, Doctor *sigh* You don't exactly seem enthused about this. -*pause* Is that a question? Well, what is it about seeing me that gets you down? Or, were you already depressed and that's why you're here? -Nothing that dramatic. I doubt I'm the first mutant you've seen that doesn't like the idea of scrutinizing their past, digging up mistakes, talking about the stuff that nobody else wants to hear. I'm actually not a downer kind of guy. Honest! Fine with me. Then let's try again. What brings you here, on your own terms? -I'm messed up. Is there a reason it has to be analyzed more than that? I don't do that type of analysis unless it's absolutely necessary. This is meant to be confidential, anyway. -I know. That's why I agreed to do this. I have a big idea, but I'm doubtful anything will come of it. Plus it's going to make me sound psychotic. Don't jump to that conclusion. What's up? -My family has a way of being dramatic. A proud member of the club! -Maybe I can…I don't know…my brothers are really different. But Scott especially. There's this vibe I get sometimes. He holds a lot back, and I know he doesn't trust me as much as he could. That's my fault. I own it. But…this is the crazy part…he doesn't say anything to me, but I noticed some changes, you know? I tried to ask him, and all he did was give your card. I'm not asking about him, but what did he say about me? I'm getting paranoid about it. I can't talk about any other person outside of you. -Then that confirms it! I've been tortured that way, given lies to make me think the worst of the world. I don't let that stuff break me. But Scott just gives me your card, doesn't say a word. Does he think I'm that screwed up that he can't talk to me? I'd rather he blast me in the face because I know I can shake that off. Is this about sibling rivalry, or getting dirt? -No way, doctor. I'm just trying to put 2 and 2 together. You know how many times I've been told I'm out of control? Sometimes I lean into that. Live with it. Love with it. We don't see the world the same way. He's the one to show up, show out, and wait for the applause. I show up, and…who knows? He wanted me to do this, and I can't figure out why. He always has a plan. Forget about his plan. What's your plan? What do you want to do? -I don't want what he wants. He always talks about the oppressed, and the constant struggle to make mutantkind a shining example to the world. Well, what about the world? What about those downtrodden who also don't have a genetic eraser to bail them out of trouble? It's hubris. I can't stand people like that. But that's all I ever see when people lead. I saw it with Scott, I saw it in Cap, I even saw it in Charles sometimes. *pause* Maybe they need this more than me. They're the ones that call the shots. I don't want to be a part of that. With such eloquence and candor, someone's bound to put you in that spot -They did! Oh, did they ever. Hated it. It's not for me. I'm a wildcard. I know better than to cut loose and abandon the people I fight with. That's a sacred bond. But that doesn't mean I should be some poster boy managing the day-to-day stuff. Ok, hypothetical here: what if you help me. Then what? I learn to tolerate things I don't like instead of doing more of what I DO like? I spend my evenings planning missions instead being with the love of my life? Why would I want that? I'm noticing a pattern here, and it's unique. Most people that step foot into my office are afraid of failure. You are on the opposite end of the spectrum. What if you succeed? You said you had big plans -*interrupting* and they blow up. That's just the way it is. It doesn't have to be. You can find a new way to enjoy things, you can bring along loved ones as your mind expands, you can still find ways to say no, except by choice instead of by chance. Learn to put the chaos in the background for once instead of making it the whole picture. - But how? It's all around me. Hell, it's in my name. At this point it's kinda part & parcel of the whole Alex Summers package. Asking me to give that up is like trying to teach me not to breathe. More like a new breathing technique. I'm not asking you to stop being who you are. You have an amazing opportunity to fine tune what makes you such a dynamic person. Start by starting. It's going to be messy, and that's okay. This isn't a competition against your brother, your mentors, or those you care about. It's you against yourself, and that is a race you can always win. - You make it sound so easy. I've done the “fresh start” thing. Several times. X-Factor. Unity Squad. Krakoa. How many times can I reboot? It's like starting a new comic book and slapping a #1 on the title - it's still the same retread. Keep track, then. Too often I come across cases where people have taken the right action, and don't know how they got there, or where things went wrong. That's the difficult…and let's be honest, the boring part. If you're willing to do the small stuff, then you'll be surprised at how it compounds over time. - Like interest. Problem is, interest can be negative. Like my interest in this conversation. Ok, let's go there. Let's hash this out in full. You are an example of chaos theory, which means, like the mathematical system it's based on, you're not as random as you seem, and can have several parts of your life modeled out with a decent likelihood of the known outcomes. HOWEVER, if you decide to take control, you have now changed the whole spectrum to a simple parabola. I have news for you (as if you didn't already know) but your life is never going to be bland, or simple. But there is one variable you can use, and it's your own psyche. Think of this conversation as the butterfly effect for how your emotions and thought processes occur from this point forward. - Well, I was told there would be no math. But I get what you're going for. *sigh* I mean, it's worth a shot. Can't be any worse than the umpteen other things I've tried, right? I suppose I should give Scott a call and talk to him about this, too. Of course he's gonna gloat about it. God, he's such a… Yes? - I was gonna call him names, but he means well, even if he's too blunt for his own good sometimes. I don't know what you're talking about. - And here I thought you said you couldn't divulge anything about your clients… he can be a dick sometimes, you can admit it. I do not discuss patients with other patients, even if they're siblings. - Even if they're right? I do not. Discuss. Patients. With. Other. Patients. - Alright, fair enough Doc. I won't tell him you called him a dick. I DID NOT! - Hahaha, gotcha!
