Comic book character Tony Stark, better known as the superhero Iron Man, is officially cool right now. Thank goodness, Foggy Nelson aka director Jon Favreau chose the right cast (Robert Downey Jr., Jeff Bridges and Gwyneth Paltrow), right effects team (Industrial Light and Magic) and just the right touch of punch and panache to craft the ultimate comic book origin movie, which at times is even better than the first “Spider-man” movie.

Below are 10 things about the Armored Avenger as compiled from various sources:

Iron Man Movies has become a Worldwide Blockbuster Movie when premiere on May 2, 2008. Per the final weekend numbers released today, the movie grossed $102.1 million from Friday to Sunday—the 10th biggest opening in Hollywood history. Add in the foreign box office, and the film’s weekend take stands at nearly $200 million just in 3 days!

Its opening number was bigger than those of Batman Begins ($48.7 million), Superman Returns ($52.5 million), the first two X-Men movies and Spider-Man 2 ($88.2 million). Not bad for a character that’s considered B-list to the SpiderMan, Batman or Superman that consider as A-list hero.
