Description: Iron Man #47, Marvel, Bronze Age Origin of Iron Man (Tony Stark) Retold Origin of Madame Masque I; Origin of Madam Masque (Whitney Frost); Tony Stark’s heart repaired. Yellow O Color Error Variant Tony Stark was a technical genius who used his inventions to found Stark International. His company soon became a multinational conglomerate, making Tony Stark extremely wealthy. Stark then enjoyed the life of a jet-setting playboy until the fateful day when an exploding bomb lodged a piece of shrapnel a fraction of an inch from his heart. He fashioned a high-tech pacemaker into a suit of armor to save his life and escape from his would-be assassins. On that day, Tony Stark became Iron Man. Over the years, Stark used his genius to design progressively more powerful armor suits and devise special suits for space and under-sea travel. A founding member of the Avengers, Iron Man had a high profile. Stark, however, retained his secret identity, claiming Iron Man was his bodyguard. This facade was abetted by Stark's ability to remotely control his suits of armor. We try to describe comic defects that can not be easily seen.
