Iron Man

Whilst the animation for this cartoon is inferior to today's cartoons it made up for it's simplistic animation with top notch stories.

Iron Man was one of my favourite superheroes. Tony Stark was an ordinary man who became near invincible when he put on the suit of armour. Once he donned the iron suit (which wasn't iron at all but actually a super metallic alloy) he could pretty much do anything from flying to picking up heavy objects.

The series was entertaining much like other Marvel cartoons from that period and the stories were very well written.

Check it out if you can. Just ignore the cheezy theme tune (with the exception of the 60's Spider-Man cartoon, 1960's Marvel cartoons had real cheezy theme tunes).

A great show & a classic, but definitely not my favorite out of all the Marvel Super Heroes! It was interesting at times, but boring at other ones! 7/10 from me!

What a cheesy intro song. The animation didn't age well from 1966. It feels nostalgic even if you were not alive then. Tony Stark doesn't look like the smartest person in the world to me.

I managed to find a copy of the original '66 Marvel superheros DVD set featuring Iron Man, Captian America, The Increidible Hulk, The Mighty Thor and Sub-Mariner, Prince Namor of the Deep. It's awesome. Talk about bringing back memories. I was 9 years old when this series first aired on TV. It's true there is very little animation but I kinda like the fact that they tried to make it like the comic books. I think my all time favorite though is the 1967 Spiderman series. When I was a kid i NEVER missed that on Saturday morning. The cheesy made it better to me! If you are a nostalgic person like me, it would be worth your while to find a set of this series. I don't think i've seen it on TV since the 60's.

The one thing these 1960's Marvel superheroes cartoons have over the latest Marvel cartoons is that they are more true to the comics. They take little creative liberties with the source material and Iron Man has that comic book feel. The animation is sparse but that was likely intentional to emulate the comic book.

Don't listen to the other reviewer that says that Iron Man's theme song is cheesy. He then says that the Spiderman theme song is good. Lets compare the songs, Iron man has the line "Tony Stark makes you feel, he's a cool exec with a heart of steel...". Spiderman has the line "Spiderman, Spiderman does whatever a spider can. Spins a web any size, catches thieves just like flies....". I fail to see how Spiderman's theme song is any better or less corny than Iron Man's. Both were sung by the same people and in similar style, so it makes little sense to say Spiderman's song is great and Iron Man's isn't. Now since that nonsense settled, check out Iron Man it's worth checking out at least once. It did the comic justice.
