Adam Strange and Iron Man

 

I'm still waiting for live action versions of these heroes, in these outfits.  Adam Strange appeared on the now-cancelled Krypton, but he never wore his signature costume or learned to use his jetpack. Iron Man made many appearances in many different suits of armor - but frustratingly, never in his classic Red and Gold widow's peak, hip disk look that dominated his first three decades of comic appearances.  Maybe we'll get it in a multiversal variant Iron Man at some point?

When you say "widow's peak," do you mean the Mark II armor with the v-shaped gap at the top of the face mask? Or the Mark III armor (with the immobile face mask that made him seem so robotic) that he was wearing during his first canonical clash with the Blood Brothers?.*


*Which, if memory serves, was right after Tony Stark's now-classic abduction by Princess Python!

The armor on this cover!

Yeah, that factor of Adam Strange on Krypton was a bit of a disappointment. Maybe if the show had gone on to a third season, we might've seen it. But then again, The Flash just started it eighth season, and only now has Barry started wearing yellow boots.

As for Iron Man, we may see Iron Lad in the MCU's not-too-distant future, whether he be Nate Richards or Harley Keener, and there we might get this classic look, at least briefly. (Harley's old enough to attend MIT, so he could even show up on Ironheart.)

Wouldn't it be "strange" if the Blood Brothers were working for that evil doctor that once tried to drain Iron Man's electrical power.

@Carycomic: if you're referring to the guy I think you're thinking of, he hasn't been canonically seen since Marvel's "Tales of Suspense" (vol.I/#41).
