Tony Stark, the creation of Marvel Comics in 1963 and the subject of
600 issues of Iron Man magazine, is a curious superhero. In his private
life, if that is what it can be called, Tony (being impersonated for the
second time on screen by Robert Downey Jr),
is no retiring, bespectacled Clark Kent or shy schoolboy Peter Parker.
Rather, he's a handsome, eccentric, technological genius, clearly based
on Howard Hughes, who has inherited from his father (appropriately named
Howard Stark) a vast business specialising in, among other things,
state-of-the-art military weapons and turned it into a concern worth
billions.Iron Man 2
