I've always been curious if that Iron Man song by Black Sabbath was about Marvel's Iron Man. If you dont know who Iron Man
orMagneto
are...shame on you for wasting your life on reality! But really, if you don't know 'em, you might want to skip out on this geek post.

IRON MAN By Black Sabbath

Has he lost his mind
Can he see or is he blind
Can he walk at all
Or if he moves will he fall

Hmmmm. This verse could be alluding to the fact that Tony Stark (aka Iron Rip off of Batman only a cyborg) tended to have a little bit of a problem with the Bottle.

Is he alive or dead
Has he thoughts within his head
We'll just pass him there
Why should we even care

See? At this point in the song, he's probably passed out in the street, drinking too much bad hooch.

He was turned to steel
In the great magnetic field
When he traveled time
For the future of mankind

Ok. We've pinpointed the main reason I don't like Iron Man. He's got heart but is dumb. Someone in metal armor (or who possesses metal claws for that matter) should not go after Magneto, the Master of Magnetism.

Nobody wants him
He just stares at the world
Planning his vengeance
That he will soon unfurl

Our boy is getting smart. Saving humans=dumb. Exacting revenge=fun.

Now the time is here
For Iron Man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once saved

That's the only Iron Man comic I would personally buy.

Nobody wants him
They just turn their heads
Nobody helps him
Now he has his revenge

Never turn your head on a man who has high tech gadgetry at his disposal. Go Iron Man, go! At this point I'm rooting for him.

Heavy boots of lead
Fills his victims full of dread
Running as fast as they can
Iron Man lives again!

It's pretty obvious by now that this song WAS inspired by the Marvel's Iron Man. If his cybernetic implants were to go haywire because of his idiocy going after Mags.

Ok. I'm going to stop the comedy for today because I'm all tapped out.

Have a great and safe weekend.
