Iron Man Hugs a Missile

Death to iron man for his role in the civil war.

Until it all turns out to be a result of the skrulls manipulating him, unless he is a skrull but I really doubt that.

I hate next-gen graphics, why cant anyone improve on HL2's subtle balance of realisme, technical achievement and a bucket load of visual expercience.

Why does everyone insist flaring bloom in all of our faces making everything look like it was crafted by play-doh and sprayed with some water on it to make it glisten.

And why do we keep accepting that kind of crap graphics as awesome and realistic?

Why am I alive? Oh belgian beer!

I also doubt that he's been manipulated by the Skrulls in any meaningful way. That would just be far too s**t for words and - in spite of the disaster, nay, abomination, that is 'One More Day' - I don't think Marvel would cop out like that.

While I'm not sure I like Iron Man right now, he's an interesting character for the first time in years (barring the Warren Ellis stuff. Oh, and the Ultimate version. And... Nope. That's all I've got).

One More Day makes me cry inside, and outside.

And the skrulls are manipulating everyone, who can you trust? For some reason I'm real suspicious of Doc Strange.

Oh and the game looks like a typical movie license game, doubt it'd be amazing, but I'm really looking forward to the movie.

i dont read many american comics but after reading this article i must say i find it interesting that iron man is actually a bit of a c**t! i thought he was clean cut

The guy's a recovering alcoholic and former munitions manufacturer. He looks all clean cut, (at a glance, Bruce Wayne with a 'tash), but dig a little deeper and he's about as big a c**t as superheroes come.

He once saved a passenger jet drunk. Drunk in charge of a high tech suit of flying armour. Is that a crime?

How does Iron Man fly? Clearly he has jet feet. But he doesn't seem to have any control surfaces. Powered as he is, he looks quite unstable, I am sure he would spiral out of control like an early Werner Von Braun experiment.

And where does he store the fuel for his jet feet? I accept that he may be structurally exoskeletal, and have hollow legs... but I still think they would barely contain enough fuel to keep him airborne for longer than it takes to say, "The Tin Man has no heart".

I never was a big comic book guy...not that I don't find some of the stories and characters compelling...I'm just more of a novel guy, I like my words one right after another...but I have a friend who owns a comic book store, so it was kinda hard to ignore 'Civil War'...I was never a big Iron Man fan to begin with...always struck me as pretty hokey...Superman as well...now, Spiderman...or your typical mutant...those appeal to me more. The pseudo-science might not be plausible, in fact lots of it is just as impossible as Superman or Iron Man, it just looks better on paper. I always liked Spiderman, Silver Surfer, Lobo, Beast, Nightcrawler and Colossus...Lobo perhaps merely because it came out when I was hanging out at a comic book store I bought my GW stuff from when I was playing lots of 40K.

But I was troubled on some strange level by Iron Man's role in the Civil War, it made me angry, just thinking about it. So now I'm stuck with a big old cooler full of Iron Man-flavored Haterade, and I read comic books once a year...on Free Comic Book Day...Superheroes shouldn't be dicks like that, 'snot right.

Not to get too anal about it, but I did see what looked like control surfaces in the shoulder blade region early on in that trailer. Not very big I'll agree, but they do seem to be making minor alterations to their position.

i remember reading an early judge dredd story, i think it was the one when they had the big war with megacity 2, and he piled a load of perps into a ditch and executed them. JD is badass as hell

I'm no scientist, but it's my belief that Iron Man manipulates electromagnetic fields in order to steer and avoid getting birds stuck of his faceplate.

As for rocket fuel: he doesn't need that much. He only uses rockets to take off, then flies using his repulsor technology. I'm almost certain that he uses Pym particles to miniaturise the rocket fuel that he does consume.

My primary concern is for the scorch marks he must leave the citizens of New York paying for every time he takes off.

That, and his evil ways.

Right, everybody, stop! It doesn't matter. It is fictional. Suspend your bloody disbelief. Move on.

Jebus Cripes on a participle, it's not as if you're talking about Raymond Briggs' The Snowman.

Grow up!

If we leave Tim's miserable old-man bah-humbuggery out of matters, and continue (as we must) to suspend our undisbelief. Your assertion would appear to be at odds with the jets of flaming gas issuing from his feet.

Personally i think it's fairy dust taken from two fairies in smallspaces being shaking around constantly within the suit, or grinded unicorn horns, or something else very horrible to go with his evil persona.
