Title: Iron Man/Iron America
Post by: Teancum on July 24, 2008, 12:13PM
A while back I remember seeing a blue/white Iron Man before we knew Bucky was the new Cap.  Are there comics that go along with that whole idea, or was it just a throw-you-off image?

I think that was a throw you off image I believe because I saw a picture with Ironman holding the american flag the exact same way and he was in his normal armor, somebody probably edited the picture...

You know what Venom, You're right! My bad, I didn't even realize they actually had a comic on it(Never heard of it!?!?) I only saw the picture on google and somebody said they edited the photo to have the silver and blue on it(hence I saw the original photo of him in his gold and red suit holding the flag)
But here is the one apparently on the cover...

Yeah the only reason I remember seeing that it was a comic was from seeing it once on ebay. :D

It actually originated as a 'throw you off' image during the Civil War marketing and misdirection, according to Joe Q. They liked the image so much that they ended up working it into a Civil War 'What-If' story. So you guys are pretty much guessing correctly. That image certainly made an impression. The next wave of Iron Man movie figs even includes a repaint modeled after that very image (that was in the works even before the What If comic appearance, so not bad for a suit that hadn't actually existed). The comic appearance was kinda 'meh', but I think the suit itself is cool. I'm sure I have that image saved somewhere (I keep all Iron Man related stuff). Teancum, did you still need the image? Or will the one above serve your purposes well enough?
