Similarities Between Iron Man And Tony Stark
Iron Man/Tony Stark is by many considered as a central figure in the Avengers universe. He was created by Stan Lee, Don Heck, and Jack Kirby and was firstly introduced to the public in Tales of Suspense #39 in 1963 as a mixture of Howard Hughes and famous inventors such as Tesla, Bell, and Edison. He was a representative of modern innovative technology in the times of the Cold War and the Communist Threat. He could also be compared, as far as mythology is concerned, with gifted craftsmen, smiths, and inventors (i.e. Daedalus, the Greek god Hephaestus and the Celtic god Lugh).
Stark is a rich, self-loving, playboy and philanthropist and owner of Stark Industries/Enterprises which is specialized in developing high-tech weapons and armor. While

    The first important similarity between the two is their view of man as an intermediary being. Kierkegaard sees man at an "intermediate stage" between what he once was and what he will become. He believes that to exist does not mean to be in an end state, but always striving for something more. Humans strive toward becoming subjective. For Kierkegaard, life is a transformation from essential to existential. Nietzsche sees man similar to this, He calls man a “bridge" rather than an “end". The important part of a man is his potential. Man is striving, but for something different. Nietzsche says that for man Ubermensch, the ideal man or Superman, is the goal. It’s a representation of man at a constant battle to overcome itself. The Superman must…

    Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin were two of the most evil men in history, responsible for countless atrocities. They had many similarities as well. Both men committed genocide to further their political agenda, massively improved the militaries of their respective countries, had their own different groups of secret police and spies, and finally they were both tyrannical totalitarian dictators. Despite sharing many similarities, their government structure and political philosophies were very different. Adolf Hitler was a Fascist who believed in a highly centralized government with himself at the top of the pyramid. Joseph Stalin was a communist who believed in collectivism and instilling fear into his political opposition. Although there are…

    “From my father and Ultima I had learned that the greater immortality is the freedom of man, and that freedom is best nourished by the noble expanse of land and air and pure, white sky” (Anaya, 228). Tony’s father then talks about the land possessing “a power that can fill a man with satisfaction” (Anaya, 229). Ultima adds on about the land giving faith for nature to grow and evolve. This means that with freedom and faith, you can evolve and grow. Consequently, Antonio comes to the realization that even though nature had a dark, mystical past, nature evolved and grew with faith and freedom.…

    Malcolm x and Martin Luther King Jr. are both very similar in regards to their aspirations of what they hoped the near future to be. Though their beliefs and approach were drastically different, both of these men had stimulating speeches because of the use of rhetoric and impeccable persuasion. They each possessed a charismatic style and charm that captivated the audience. Consequently, both congregations had formed many supporters. Malcolm, known more for his bluntness evoked multitudes to feel insulted because of his crude manner,thus losing many of his followers. His ethical appeal was also partially lost because of his corrupt past. Martin on the other hand was known for continually portraying love to his “enemies” including the whites whereas, Malcolm believed them to be inferior.…

    Both Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X were labeled as extremists however they both had different reasons that led them to be labeled this way. At the end of the day it is evident that neither of these two activists were extreme because they were simply asking for what should have never been taken away from them-their freedom. The idea of taking direct action and changing things for the better were all things that Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X dedicated themselves to during the revolution but their strategies and ideologies did not coincide. The text I found to be the most interesting was Malcolm X’s due to his burning passion and striking way of thinking. While I did not agree with everything he said, he did make some strong claims. In a way I agree with…
