Cool, suave, handsome and a billionaire. Who wouldn't want to be Tony Stark aka the Iron Man this Halloween? He gets the pretty girl at the end too, which is always an added bonus.
Iron Man has a lot of admirers but he also has many enemies. It was fine when Tony Stark was fighting fit, but when the palladium in the arc reactor started to poison his body, life suddenly did not look so rosy after all.
Pressurized from all sides, he turns to drink. The US Government are after him to hand over his technology, he needs to find a solution to the poisoning from the palladium arc, and Vanko, also known as Whiplash is out to take revenge.
Life is not looking too good for Iron Man.
Luckily he has a trusted friend in War Machine, and together they pull through in the end.
OK, it is all a bit simplistic here, don't really want to spoil the story if you have not seen it yet: but the point is that it is a fabulous story, one with all the Marvel comic heroes characteristics.
With Halloween soon upon us, (and it will be here sooner than you think), an Iron Man Halloween costume is well worth considering.
