He has been featured in countless comic book storylines from that time until the present day, and has always been a popular superhero. However, with the release of two well done Iron Man movies, with Robert Downey Jr. playing Tony Stark to perfection in both, Iron Man has been solidified as an ‘A-list’ superhero with buzz comparable to that of Spider-Man’s.”
