Iron Man is a Canadian fictional character, created by

black-and-white and known as "Canadian Whites".[3]

Although he lacked a distinct Canadian identity,

Nazis.[2] He predates the better-known Marvel Comics character by 22 years and bears no likeness to that Iron Man. Superficially, he better resembles the amphibious Namor, the Sub-Mariner, who debuted two years earlier.[4]

Fictional history

Iron Man was the last member of a mutated human subspecies that lived in the

pirates, whom he also hated.[4][5]

Special powers

Iron Man was amphibious, indestructable, and had superhuman strength with which he could make great leaps and punch through steel.[4][5]
