This can't be your childhood cartoon, as this theme will thrust you into manhood, making you grow a beard, testes, and chest hair, even if you're the age of 3.
this intro has been stuck in my head since childhood and its funny because i for the life of me couldnt remember what song it was and lone behold it was this badass intro that i am pritty sher nothing stacks up to
The real question isn't how he built that badass suit of armor. The real question should be, "why wasn't there an investor panic at Stark Industries when the shareholders saw that mullet?"
this intro has 4 lyrics finally instead of using 5 6 or 109458493893893849849586879 of them and that mullet is awesome and samurai is the best armor of them all (the one before the normal armor)
This is awesome! This is the tune I still think of when I think of Iron-Man. Unless you are talking about Black Sabbath's song by the same name, this is the theme for Iron-Man!
This is what engineering looks like when you apply dangerously high quantities of badass.
And when it's done with no protective equipment whatsoever (though the mullet arguably forgoes the need for a helmet). Or even a shirt for that matter.
Lol wow! I never noticed that Stark was so muscular. Perhaps Robert Downey JR should consider more time at the gym if he wants to look more like this version of Tony Stark lol.
PS: This Iron Man series was the bomb back in the 90's
@WhitehPhoenix well to answer your question. im from planet Earth.However something tells me that's not the true question that you wanted me to answer. All i was stating in my comment was that this version of Tony Stark was much more muscular than RDJ. So if he wants to look like this version of Tont Stark (which im pretty sure he doesn't) he needs to consider more time at the gym. BUT thats not necessary seeing as though Tony Stark dosnt need a fit bod to fight crime. :^)
@oOoMastermind not worst and not best!worst im not sure which has it but surely is one of todays crap that they call cartoons and the best is by far batman tas fallowed by batman beyond and justice league
My God did he get 2x as manly in the second season. I mean so manly, even getting his ass kicked by the Hulk only just makes him look tough. You know, just seeing him like this makes me wanna see Robert Downey Jr. grow out his hair for Iron Man 3, or maybe in The Avengers movie. Also, seeing this makes me miss my long hair. I used to have long black hair like that. :(
this intro reminds me, why do ALL Male Human-Looking Marvel characters look like professional body builders? (even scientist Bruce Banner in his normal form)
@adrianopol92 another explanation (Hold your nose this is the college answer :P) could be the classical structure of a hero, the ideal that also has a flaw that people can connect w/ i.e. Tony Stark: Insanely wealthy, good looking, works for the government and runs a huge supersuccessful business, but has crippling condition and a bad attitude.
@allenstcharles In theory you're right, although Marvel, aside the fact that they made many girls wish to hump Tony gained the admiration of people with heart-diseases as well...kinda weird. If Tony 's flaw was that he was super-skinny, he would have connected with many more teenagers this way :)) (Btw, are there ANY skinny human-looking super-heroes in Marvel? esthetically of course...)
@NeoGamemaster I said human looking male characters, not just super-heroes :P Just look around the Spiderman animated series for any out-of shape person. My guess is, the animators are:
@DARKORBITPYRO He actually designed that suit so that it will move according to his own body movement, he said in the movie to be a "full body prosthetic" or smth, so it actually enhances his mobility :D
@adrianopol92 Well they spend most of time fighting, so they gotta be beef up. Even Banner because he most of the series walking the earth literly so he has to in healthly shape to do that.
@adrianopol92 Thats the thing with the Marvel cartoons of the 90s, just cuz. In that universe, almost every male has a perfect shaped body, basically, if you're not packing a six pack, they is something wrong with you. Idk, but I always accepted that growing up with the show.
@adrianopol92 I know right. Too bad this particular Marvel animated universe was destroyed. V_V It was destroyed by the fracturing of the M'Kraan Crystal.
@adrianopol92 ThBecause the majority of them have superpowers/mutantgenes that will always leave them at top physique. In the original comics, Bruce Banner was a skinny scientist and continued to be so even after he developed the Hulk persona. In the case of Iron man, he was originally standard looking. Not too skinny, but not as toned either. Generally, after adopting their superhero persona, they train extensively to get themselves in topshape, so they aren't defenseless without powers.
@Xylarxcode You're right, i was referring more to the 90's Marvel animated series, where cartoons like spiderman, x-men, iron man, hulk were drawn in a similar fashion (thus the very compatible crossovers) and portraited the guy-characters with the same physique (ripped). However, characters like Peter Parker (before his powers) and Wolverine can end up looking very similar :(
@adrianopol92 It does tend to get bland and unimaginative after a while, right? All the women have supermodel figures and all the men have a buff physique. I suppose they're doing it to attract more people. Making them handsome and in topshape so they're more appealing to the eye.
@Xylarxcode No, it's because all superheroes take the same supplements. IGF, HGH, test, it's the only way a human can get that big. No amount of training will make you into Arnold unless it's supplemented by something that dramatically increases the size and rate of growth of your muscles far beyond what most typical bodies can support. =D
@Crisshomes1 If you are talking muscular, fit, and toned, you are right. If you are talking about a Mr Olympia type body which alot of superheroes have, you know it's not natural at all.
Mr.Olympia is about being as much muscular with low fat,wich normally you have to have some fat combined with muscle to reach that size if you were natural.
In animation and comis the males and females are more accentuated because it looks better when drawn.
For instance a She Hulks looks sexy in animations and comics but a real life she would look discusting.
@Crisshomes1 I realize they cut their fat before the show to achieve the look they do, HOWEVER... After a certain point, all humans plateau when it comes to physical development at which point you cannot get any stronger or faster and performance enhancing drugs become the only way forward. Would Batman be any less of a hero if he were on a regimen of supplements and performance enhancing drugs? He is primarily a hero who relies on training and technology to save the day.
Adjectives fail me. No words are needed.

@Crisshomes1 I realize they cut their fat before the show to achieve the look they do, HOWEVER... After a certain point, all humans plateau when it comes to physical development at which point you cannot get any stronger or faster and performance enhancing drugs become the only way forward. Would Batman be any less of a hero if he were on a regimen of supplements and performance enhancing drugs? He is primarily a hero who relies on training and technology to save the day.

@adrianopol92 Think of the suit as a bicycle. It may get the you somewhere faster and easier, but you still get the exercise using it.
