Iron Man first appeared in 13- 18 page of Suspense Story, which features science fiction and supernatural stories. The original costume of this character was a heavy gray armor, which was later turned into gold in his second story (No.40, April 1963), and then it was redesigned into a more fashionable red and gold armor from No.48 (1February 1963), which was drawn by Steve Ditko. In his premiere, Iron Man was an anti-communist hero who defeated various Vietnamese agents. Kai-fu Lee later regretted this early concentration. [3][8] In the whole comic series of this character, technological progress and national defense are the eternal themes of Iron Man, but later cartoons depict his struggle with alcoholism and other personal difficulties, making Stark a more complex and fragile character.
From the 59th issue (19641month) to the last issue (1March 968), the sci-fi backup story in Suspense Story was replaced by a feature film starring the superhero Captain America. After the 99th issue (March 1968), the name of this book was changed to Captain America.

The writers updated the war in which Stark was injured. In the original story of 1963, it was Vietnam. Later,190 was updated as the first Gulf War, [10] and then updated as Afghanistan again. However, his time with Asian scientist Yin Sen is consistent in almost all incarnations of the origin of Iron Man, depicting Stark and Yin Sen building primitive armor together. One exception is the direct DVD animated feature film Invincible Iron Man, in which the first armor used by Stark is not the first Iron Man suit.
Iron Man was co-produced by several authors, including editor and screenwriter Stan Lee, editor Larry Lipper, painter Don Heck who was responsible for drawing the early story of Iron Man, and Czech Kolby who designed the first suit of Iron Man armor and drew the cover manuscript for the first time. Heck designed the faces of Tony Stark and his secretary Pepper Potts. Stanley Lee designed Stark's personality with reference to howard hughes. He explained, "howard hughes is one of the most striking figures of our time. He is an inventor, an adventurer, a millionaire, a playboy and a madman. "
Most of Iron Man's early stories are 13 pages, but sometimes there are 18 pages of adventure stories. Other pages of suspense stories are mostly short-term science fiction and supernatural stories. In the second story (No.40,1April 1963), Iron Man's armor was redesigned to be similar in appearance but golden in color, and the streamlined armor of gold and red that Iron Man is now familiar with appeared in No.48 in Steve Ditko (No.65438 +09631February).
Since the 59th issue (65438+ 1 1 month 0964), the comic book suspense story led by Iron Man and Captain America has been revised into a book with two stories. After the publication of the last issue of suspense story (issue 99, March 1968), the comic book was renamed Captain America. Iron Man appeared in the first issue of the solo comic "Iron Man and Submarine Sailor", and then appeared in the first issue of his own comic "Invincible Iron Man" for the first time.
Iron Man was originally portrayed as a hero against capitalism. In the subsequent Iron Man comics, technological evolution and national defense are common themes; However, in later cartoons, Stark gradually evolved into a more complex and fragile character, and the story included Stark's alcoholism and other personal problems.
Screenwriters often portray Iron Man as a symbol of human creativity and human defects. He often became a good friend of Captain America and Thor. The former highlights the difference between interventionism and cooperative compromise, while the latter highlights the difference between science and paranormal. For most of Iron Man's past history, he was a member of The Avengers, a superhero group, and appeared in several comic periodicals named after Iron Man.
