He was a key part of Tony’s support squad, marrying and divorcing Pepper at one point before he was killed shortly after Civil War. Back then, he was a garbage boxer who saved Tony’s life and got hired as a bodyguard/driver for Stark. – Happy Hogan, played in the movies by the director of Iron Man, Jon Favreau, first joined the comics in Lee and Heck’s Tales of Suspense #45. He’s played here by Terence Howard, who reportedly demanded a lot of money to come back for Iron Man 2, so his role was recast as Don Cheadle. – The other recast is James Rhodes, the man who would eventually don the War Machine armor. His part is recast as John Slattery for Iron Man 2. The first is Gerard Sanders, the actor who plays Howard Stark in photos in the magazine retrospective/stealth origin story for Tony. – There are two actors in Iron Man who don’t come back to play those roles in the future. – Interestingly enough, the circumstances of Howard and Maria Stark’s death (a “car accident” that ends up being a murder at the hands of the Winter Soldier) stay consistent through multiple movies, and of course, the culmination of that comes in Captain America: Civil War. The later models we see in the movie closely mirror the work of artist Adi Granov…and a story he worked on went on to become the (loose) basis for Iron Man 3. That goes from the thrown-together suit from the cave to the Mark 3 armor he ends up in. – Another thing this movie does really well: every Iron Man suit looks perfect to the comics. He first showed up in Iron Man’s origin in 1963, and his daughter is currently running around the pages of U.S. Even though Tony’s origin has moved from Vietnam to Iraq to Afghanistan, Yinsen was there for all of them. – Ho Yinsen’s presence has been remarkably consistent through Iron Man’s history. – Speaking of everything happening in the last 10 years, that box that the AC/DC music is coming out of in the Humvee is called a “Compact Disc player.” Great leaping buggaboos! This introduction is now over! Throw up the cape, slip on that cowl, and hop into the Tomatomobile: We ride for to the best superhero movies of all time! (And don’t forget the worst superhero movies ever as well.We could talk here about Marvel Time, the continuity solution/framework for Marvel that says that everything in the Marvel history since the dawn of the Fantastic Four has happened in the last 10 years on a rolling basis, but that would require me explaining how Franklin Richards is actually the solution to the problem, and how that theory means the whole Marvel Universe is just a figment of Franklin’s imagination and that’s why Kitty Pryde gets older while Artie and Leech are still 8 and nobody really wants that. Everything from the Marvel Cinematic Universe ( Iron Man, Avengers) to DCEU ( Aquaman, Wonder Woman), animated fare ( The Incredibles, Megamind) to live-action spoofs ( The Toxic Avenger, Mystery Men), comedies ( Deadpool) and the super serious ( The Dark Knight), and then throwing in some originals made just for the big screen ( The Rocketeer, Darkman, Unbreakable).
