“If you live long enough to see yourself become the villain….someone should have killed you a long time ago.”-Tony Stark

Tony Stark appears at first a loud, arrogant, good time type of character and well, that’s exactly what he is. When we sat down with the man claiming to be Iron Man we asked him why some super heroes choose to remain behind the mask.

“It’s simple really. It’s fear.  You fear what people are going to think of you, you fear for your family, your friends,” Tony pauses here to take a long sip of what appears to be scotch.

“But most of all, you fear yourself.”

Wise words from a wise man, no doubt. When asked about another rich bachelor rumoured to be doning the cape and mask, Mr. Stark had this to say;

“Look I’m not pretending I know what the deal is, what Bruce, sorry Mr.  Wayne does on his own time in his business. But you have to wonder what a rich man who is single does with all that money.

You can only buy so many cars…and hookers.”

Mr. Stark orders a mixed drink with a wink and a smile from the attractive waitress at the Beverly Hills Hotel. He seems reflective for a moment.

“If you live long enough to see yourself become the villain….someone should have killed you a long time ago.” Mr. Stark laughs.

“I’ll drink to that.” He toasts himself.
