Watch The Invincible Iron Man First Appearance - History of Iron Man - Iron Man Explained today to see our brief explanation  or Iron Man's first appearance.

Iron Man Explained - Iron Man made his debut in Tales of Suspense issue 39 in March 1963,  against the backdrop of the Vietnam War, signalling the end of Marvel's monster/suspense line. Stan Lee envisioned his new hero as a rich businessman, continuing in the tradition of the pampered playboy that dates back to the Scarlet Pimpernel. Tony Stark, like Batman's alter ego Bruce Wayne, would be a gorgeous, successful, and wealthy businessman. Stark, on the other hand, would have a dreadful secret. His heart was also wounded in the accident that led to him becoming Iron Man. To stay alive, he required his armour chest plate. Stan Lee and Larry Lieber discussed the overall framework for Iron Man, and Lieber eventually developed a detailed script for the origin narrative. In the story, Tony Stark is visiting Vietnam to demonstrate one of his weapons to the U.S. military. While on a trip to the front lines, Stark is injured by shrapnel from a landmine and is captured by the Viet Cong. They give him an ultimatum - build them a weapon or die. With the help of Ho Yinsen, a fellow captive and scientist, Stark builds a suit of powered armor to save his own life and escape captivity. He uses the suit to fight his way out of the Viet Cong camp and back to the United States. Upon returning home, Stark decides to use his intellect, wealth, and resources to fight injustice and protect the world as the armored superhero Iron Man. He uses the suit to fight various villains and threats, both as Tony Stark and as Iron Man. The new character was created by Don Heck, an illustrator who has worked on several western and monster stories throughout the years. The initial cover was done by Jack Kirby, who was the standard cover artist for Tales of Suspense. Tony Stark was a rich businessman who manufactured weaponry for the United States Army in his first narrative, but his heart was gravely injured when he was abducted by communists. 
Stark built his life-saving Iron Man suit with the assistance of another prisoner, who subsequently sacrificed himself to rescue him, and so became an almost unbeatable juggernaut. Iron Man's armour, like the Hulk's, was originally grey, but due to printing issues, it was changed to golden yellow for his second appearance.
