Anthony “Tony” Stark was the son of Howard and Maria Stark, born in Long Island, New York. As a young child he loved working with machines, and he entered the electrical engineering program at MIT when he was only fifteen. At nineteen, he graduated with two master’s degrees, and inherited Stark Industries at 21 when his parents were killed in a car crash. Always an expert in the fields of physics and engineering, he skillfully guided the weapons company with incredible success, creating many new technologies for the military. In the comic ‘Iron Man Is Born,” during a visit to one of the fields where some of his newer hardware is being tested, Stark is caught in an explosive trip-wire booby trap set by guerrilla chief Wong-Chu. A piece of deadly Stark, wary that the promise is most likely a trap and that he will be killed no matter what he manages to build, instead creates an iron suit that will be able to keep the shard from further penetrating his heart and killing him. He uses the abilities of the suit to escape from Wong-Chu’s camp, rescuing many others and getting Wong-Chu’s troops to desert him along the way. Over the fifty-two years since the character was launched in March of 1963, Iron Man has made many friends and faced countless enemies. In “Iron Man and the Icy Fingers of Jack Frost,” Tony Stark is auto-racing when his life-giving chest plate begins to run low on power, and his car spins out of his control. He is rescued by Harry ‘Happy’ Hogan, who Stark hires on as his chauffeur as repayment for saving his life. The reader is also briefly introduced to ‘Pepper’ Potts, Stark’s secretary, for the first time in the same issue of the

  • Hero Essay: A Hero In Real Life

    710 Words  | 2 Pages

    An English proverb states, “ A hero is a man who is afraid to run away”. I agree with this proverb, because when you see a hero in a comic book, they have super cool back stories, are not afraid to fight, and stare danger in the face and not blink. They are not afraid of anything. That’s nice to look up to, but they are not real. Our definition of a hero is too much for one man to become, you can do something honorable, heroic, but you will never actually be a hero because it's too much, in real life. Heroes don’t just do it so they can get paid, or respect. What really determines whether someone is a hero is if they choose to do something about it in a bad situation. We have people that do heroic acts, for example, people putting their lives before others. Those people cannot be heroes because they get paid to do it, they are, firefighters, cops, and military, they get paid to help people, so they aren't considered a hero.
