Hello, all! Thanks for checking out EPISODE 2 of this little series of mine. In this installment, we'll look at the first few adventures featuring our hero and how he gets on attempting to juggle his three distinct identities as a socialite, as an engineer/civilian contractor for the military, and as the newly-minted super-hero known as Iron Man - complete with the first major armor redesign - as well as his ill-guided attempt to keep all three identities separate from one another. No pressure, right? ** Issues covered: Tales of Suspense Nos. 40, 41, & 42 ~*~*~ Chapter timestamps: 00:00:07: Intro 00:00:53: Begin Story Summary and Discussion 00:00:59: Part I - A Man of Three Lives 00:01:42: Part 1a - Issue Summary 00:03:09: Part 1b - The Triple Lives Breakdown 00:05:58: Part 1c - The Secret Hiding in Plain Sight 00:08:54: Part 1d - Initial Armor Specifications 00:12:48: Part II - Tony Stark, Philanthropist 00:13:51: Part 2a - Issue Summary 00:15:12: Part 2b - Charitable Giving 00:16:15: Part 2c - The Kids Love Iron Man 00:17:33: Part 2d - Medical Research & Armor Improvements 00:19:17: Part III - Iron Man, Commie Smasher 00:20:01: Part 3a - Issue Summary 00:21:11: Part 3b - Establishment Representative 00:22:39: Part 3c - Dictator Dispatcher 00:24:11: Part 3d - Curtains for the Actor! 00:25:41: Part 3e - Close Calls / Armor Specs Update 00:27:05: Outro ~*~*~ Intro and Outro theme - "Breakdown" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Transition interludes created by Marissa Roberson in GarageBand Hosted on Acast.
