Iron Man, Sponsored By Skype
In the 1990s, Tony Stark was shot and bound to a wheelchair. To get around this, Marvel introduced the concept of telepresence, the ability to make it appear as if you’re present through technological means or to control remotely objects, to the Iron Man mythos. At first, the comic creators used an empty suit of armor and a chip in Stark’s brain. Eventually, Iron Man became a robot controlled by Stark’s mind.
Note the lack of mouth, hated by fans.
By the way, this era is also notable to movie fans for one other reason: It gave us the War Machine armor, the first Iron Man suit to use projectile weapons and be overall badass.
