"Iron Man Anime"
 
   I found this surfing YouTube and I thought it looked like what Ben Stark in MegaTokyo would look like if animated.

Iron Man Anime

That thing you burned up isn't important to me. It's the fluid catalytic cracking unit. It made shoes for orphans. Nice job breaking it, hero.

It's anime! Doesn't everyone have green or blue or whatever color hair? She also might be part Zentradi :)

Is that a joke? I want to think it is, but I really wouldn't put it past them, and it does fit...

   This is true. However, they'd probably hand it over to 4Kids or some other such colossal eejits.

Or there might be some kind of "no-compete" clause in the licensing that prevents it from being brought over...

Of course they're worried about it, that's why they're only putting out seven Deadpool titles next month.

What I'm really curious about is why the villain looks like he's from Galaxy Express 999.

Just ran across a webcomic parodying that. http://www.the-gutters.com/comic/2-brent-schoonover

   >Pity we in the US are stuck with what's on Nick....

Oh, hey, this is as good a place as any to get this on record:

I rather like Iron Man: Armored Adventures.

The art style isn't my favorite, though the show does come closer than another other I can think of, apart from possibly the new Appleseed OVAs, to making cel-shaded CGI (my least favorite animation medium) to work for me. But the rest of it, I dunno, it appeals to me.

Yes, as the IGN video reviewer noted when the Series 1 box set came out, it is basically the 1960s-vintage Spider-Man cartoon with "Spider-" scratched off and "Iron" written over it in Magic Marker. All the parallels are there - you've got teenage Tony Stark as Peter Parker, Rhodey as pre-villainous-wackout Harry Osborn, Pepper Pott as MJ, Whitney Stane (an inspired bit of compositing there, I think) as Gwen Stacy, Obie Stane as Norman Osborn; they've even re-cut Happy Hogan for the Flash Thompson role, which is a bit forced and possibly the factor that makes the whole setup most obviously recycled. Rhodey's mom even pinch-hits for Aunt May in a weird way. (The wild card there is Gene, who has no direct parallel in the old-timey Spider-Man cast that I can think of, though he's a bit like if Sergei Kravinov had been a classmate of Peter Parker's, which is kind of an interesting thought.)

I acknowledge all that up front, and even will stipulate, if you like, that it's a bit weak? But you know what - I like it. The concept works for me. Possibly that's because of the other thing it reminds me of, which is the Tom Swift Jr. books the Grossett & Dunlap syndicate put out in the '50s and early '60s. I mean, you take the teenage Tony Stark, you've automatically got a Tom Swift Jr. vibe going on, and if you then throw in his best buddy who doesn't quite get the tech sometimes, but is no dummy and if anything is a bit more street-smart, and his plucky sort-of-girlfriend, well, there you have it. It's only missing the Ambiguously Soviet Agents (and for that you have A.I.M.).

Add to that the fact that the show has a surprisingly, even relentlessly high standard of quipsmanship going on (another legacy from Spider-Man), and you've got a retake of the Iron Man mythos that I can happily accept as an Elseworlds sort of proposition. It's certainly made to a higher standard than the Iron Man cartoon from the 1990s, wherein Iron Man's armor was voice-controlled (to make the toy that goes "Repulsor blast!!" when you press the button make sense, I guess) and everything was Even More Blatantly Toyetic.

But hey, don't go by me. I liked the teenage Tony Stark from Avengers: The Crossing, too, even though I hated the plotline that gave rise to him like poison. There's just something that appeals to me about the basic idea of high-school Iron Man.

I have to admit I am disappointed by the Armored Adventures retool of the Crimson Dynamo, but compared to how much poor old CD got robbed in Iron Man 2, even that's a relative win.
