Something that has always distinguished Iron Man is that he is constantly creating or improving his armor and this is why.
Tony Stark has always distinguished himself as a millionaire genius who loves to work on his armor of Hombre de Hierro. In fact, in the comics Marvel He has one for almost any occasion and even builds weaponry for his allies. But… What pushes you to continue innovating? The answer is alcohol. Or rather, avoid falling into alcoholism.
Attention SPOILERS for the Marvel Iron Cat #1 comic by Jed MacKay and Pere Perez. In this story we can see how the rival of black cat steal an upgraded version of the armor Iron Cat. When she asks Tony Stark because he made updates on the invention so long ago, he replies that he needs to keep himself busy, and that keeps him from getting bored so he doesn’t crave alcohol.
Hombre de Hierro He has always been quite reserved when it comes to revealing to the rest of the heroes how he has been able to overcome his problems with alcohol, but here we leave you a glimpse of the great effort he makes not to relapse again.
This has been a constant struggle.
The effort of Tony Stark overcoming his addiction is a very interesting thing in Marvel comics. Especially since the iconic 1979 story titled “Devil in a bottle”where Hombre de Hierro he came to terms with his alcoholism and has been sober ever since. Although there are some exceptions, such as when Scarlet Witch disarmed the Avengers and used his chaos magic to get Tony drunk. Although he also suffered a lot during the story of Superior Iron Manwhen his core of morality flipped and he became an evil version of himself.
we hope that Hombre de Hierro can stay sober so we can see better and better inventions in his stories of marvel comics.
