IRON MAN (1966 TV Series)
Episode One.
DOUBLE DISASTER// ENTER HAPPY HOGAN//OF ICE AND MEN// Yes, it is that long, every single segment had a title of its own.
OLDIE BUT GOODIE!
Nearly 52 years ago, this animated series whose drawings had scarce movements but in compensation had interesting music and sound effects and half gave the sensation of being hearing a story on the radio; this series and their homologous shows of THOR and CAPTAIN AMERICA, were much closer to be comics with some small movements that they were of being normal cartoons, but as I said maybe that gave a small special flavor to the stories (and I suppose they were cheaper for the people involved to produce).
We get to know "Happy" Hogan, Pepper Potts and of course Tony Stark, the three most important characters of this series that also half resembles the old stories about espionage of those years; or more precisely IS one of the those old stories about espionage of those years combined with the elements proper of the sub-genre of Superheroes and Superheroines. Tony is an industrialist, inventor and sportsman and the one who also is secretly his own bodyguard, the Superhero known as IRON MAN. Happy is a good guy that saves T. Stark´s life after a problem he has during a race and becomes his right hand and best friend. Pepper is a lady that Happy immediately starts falling for, but she has maybe already been falling for Mr. Stark for some time by the time she meets Happy.
Something else, as many of the most important characters co-created by Stan Lee, Iron Man/Tony S. has an important weak spot: he has some sort of malfunction in his heart and needs his technology to prevent him from dying at all times.
