I have always been a huge fan of Stan Lee and for years he kept his visions so close and uncommercialized that that was the beuaty of them. Marvel Universe was so much more fucked up than the black and white good vs. evil DC Universe. It just seems now the roles are reversed, Marvel is everywhere and DC has kind of been playing catch-up in commerciality.
Anyway, I know this seems like a stupid question, but I thought in the 80's to help sales and spice things up a bit Stan Lee and Marvel turned Iron Man's main character into a black man. I must be wrong because Marvel would never have switched him back, could have sworn they had.
When I started reading this and saw the talk of Iron Man I immediately thought what a great role for Wesley Snipes or Denzell Washington.... maybe even Will Smith.
Maybe someone can tell me I'm wrong and thinking of another character that MARVEL had originally as a white man and then black...... or they can tell me I'm just totally nuts. Never happened to any Marvel character (I know DC did it to Green Lantern and I believe someone else.)

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
