Iron Man 2 Slots – Origin of the Game

Iron Man 2 slots game is an adaptation of the superhero featured in the Paramount Pictures Iron Man 2 movie of 2010.  However, the character of Iron Man traces its origins to the popular Marvel comics of decades gone by.

Iron Man in the Comics

The idea of creating a businessman-turned-superhero was thought up by Stan Lee, the editor of Marvel Comics, scripter Larry Lieber, character designer, Jack Kirby and story-artist Don Heck in the early 1960’s.  The character first appeared in short stories as part of Tales of Suspense and was first featured as an anti-communist, but as the story line developed over the years, he was also depicted in various other roles, including a recovering alcoholic.  The original themes explored surrounded the Cold War, but went on to incorporate the Gulf War and Afghanistan.
