War Machine

Now, here is a character I can get behind. Iron Man possesses powered armor that gives him superhuman strength, virtual invulnerability, flight, and an array of weapons. The armor was invented and, with occasional short-term exceptions, worn by Tony Stark, an American industrialist billionaire and military contractor known not only for his lifestyle, but also for his incredible ingenuity and inventive genius. Writers often portray Iron Man as a symbol of humanity's creativity as well as its frailties. As evidenced by his two serious bouts with alcoholism and subsequent recovery from heart attacks and other illnesses, Stark is possessed of tremendous strength of will, never giving up and often emerging from defeat even stronger. It is arguable that the true "iron man" is not the armor, but Stark himself. I would like to see M. Night Shyamalan direct the Iron Man flick. Peace-DAG! Posted by Picasa
