Iron Man, an American comic book superhero, a mainstay of Marvel Comics, who first appeared in 1963 in Tales of Suspense no. 39. His creation is officially credited to four people: writer and editor Stan Lee, who plotted the first story; his brother Larry Lieber, who scripted it; artist Don Heck, who drew it; and Jack Kirby, who designed Iron Man’s original armored battlesuit. Iron Man has appeared as the star of his own comic book series, as a regular guest in other popular comics (most notably in The Avengers), in animated films and television series, and in live-action motion pictures.
