[edit] Info box Publication history problem

i am removing publication history from info box because that portion of info box is already included in Iron Man (Comic Book) page. Regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shoxee1214 (talkcontribs) 14:57, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox issue

Iron Man bleeding edge.jpg, the current infobox image has one or more issues in regard to the non-free content criteria policy, non-free content guidelines, and/or Comics Project infobox image guidelines. These issue(s) are:

  • Iconic/most recognizeable look - The intent of the infobox image is to use the visual representation most associated with the subject of the article. The current image is either an obscure version of the subject or a "New or soon to be used" look.

While the layout and coloring of the new armor approximates the traditional, could we please lose the wings? Remember, this isn't a fan site article that has to have the newest version prominently displayed. And in cases such as this, a character that has a long standing, immediately identifiable look for the bulk of its existence, picking the "new" just because it is new, places undue weight on the recent change. This image may be useful in a section on the current story arc, but it isn't appropriate for the infobox.

Please keep in mind that image taken from source like DC's Who's Who or Marvel's Official Handbook to the Marvel Universe cannot be used within the article.

Once this issue is resolved, please add " |fixed=y " to the template generating this message.- J Greb (talk) 16:34, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

[edit] The model for Tony Stark?

On American TV at the time was the TV series Hawaiian Eye (started 1959), starring Anthony Eisley as Tracy Steel, a playboy kind of detective in Hawaii. As well as the same initials as Tony Stark (also Tony as in Anthony), Steel looked like the early Stark with the same pencil mustache, hair style and build.

[edit] Plot overwordage and recentism

The FCB for the 12 years 2000-2012 runs 2,419. The FCB for the 36 years 1963-1999 — three times that number of years, and the formative years at that — runs 1,189.

This article has been tagged for multiple issues since 2010. Clearly, this is one of them. We don't give long, detailed, blow-by-blow plot synopses for every story arc, particularly when some of them have their own articles. I'm going to address these multiple-tag issues, and trim the FCB severely. I know other veteran WikiProject Coimcs editors recognize the same issues and have supported this elsewhere in the Project. I'm giving a head's up for a day or two before I start chainsawing, to see who else might want to come and help. --Tenebrae (talk) 00:40, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
