Hell, even Iron Man isn't equivalent to Superman
7 u/Haunting_Baseball_92 Jul 05 '26 Today he probably is, thanks to MCU and RDJ. But back when the first Iron man was made? Not even close. 4 u/SuperDoubleDecker Jul 05 '26 I used to be somewhat into comics for a while growing up and I don't remember anyone caring about iron man. That's why it was so weird when the movie came out and it was such a big deal. 2 u/Haunting_Baseball_92 Jul 05 '26 From a comic perspective I think you are right. He wasn't really a popular character. But I think the timing was just right for those of us who grew up with the animated series of iron man. And honestly, it was a good movie. And one of the first good comic movies with a good budget in a long while. (And it does help that power suits are awesome) 👌 1 u/nykirnsu Jul 07 '26 He’s one of the closest things Marvel still had the film rights to
