So, Civil War was
a big hit, a monster hit if we’re being blatantly honest with each other. Given that I’m going to be writing
post-Civil War articles for a while
now and this is one of them. As
all the trailers and posters probably gave away Iron Man is a big part of the
film so it’s about time I actually started talking about him on this blog. What’s always been weird about Iron Man
as a hero is that he was never all that popular prior to 2008. Oh, he was around but he was a lot like
Green Lantern, a C-list hero that came out consistently without ever being a
“must read” comic.
The only thing that kept Iron Man in the nerd consciousness
was the awesome multitude of armor designs his character generated. As such, this Comics Rainbow isn’t
going to be about periods in Tony Stark’s life and history as a character but
rather the different designs of his armor. The only limit is that the armors have to be something of
continuous substance rather than one-offs or cult favorites so don’t expect any
stealth suits or arctic exploration mechs. With that said, let’s get the full spectrum on the armors of
Iron Man.
