I Feel Strongly about You…

Iron Man is the hero, while Tony Stark is the playboy.

Created in 1962, Stark was an early victim of the conflict brewing in Viet Nam. Misadventure led to the Howard Hughes illustrated surrogate’s heart issues requiring an outside power source to permitting further function.

And, a good thing, too, considering Stark’s other real life inspiration was silver screen Lothario Earl Flynn.

While most of Stark’s trysts are short lived, he has had his more serious entanglements. Employee Pepper Potts was one of the first comic book conquests. She would eventually marry another Stark employee, Happy Hogan.

Roxie Gilbert was introduced to spice the title up. Her plot twist branded her as the sister of Iron Man villain Firebrand.

Another relationship was curtailed when Whitney Frost became Madam Masque.

Bethany Cabe helped Stark dry out when he hit bottle’s bottom during Demon in a Bottle. Cabe would end the relationship for her husband she didn’t know was still alive. Ironically it was Iron Man who found him.

Bringing back the femme fatale, Indries Moomji helped ruin Stark and bring down Stark Enterprises.

The Avenger would mix business with pleasure by dating both the Wasp and She-Hulk, aka Janet Van Dyne and Jennifer Walter’s respectively.

His playboy ways were even expounded upon by Robert Downey Jr. in the big screen adaptation.

Yet, somehow Shell Head finds time to run a company and play hero. Hard to tell what his real super power is.
