Iron Man and Sgt. Rock

 

Joe Kubert didn't do much work for Marvel, so it was always a treat to see his take on one of their characters. I wonder which one of them I would most have liked to have seen him illustrate an extended run of.  A Joe Kubert Thor series would have been amazing.

I'm guessing that gloved hand holding the Luger on Sgt. Rock is the Iron Major. But, could the man in the red-and-gold armor be...Howard Anthony Stark?

Think about it. What other scientific genius on the Allied side, during WWiI, could design and build a suit of exo-skeletal armor patterned after GI Robot Jake? And who's to say that the mainstream Tony Stark didn't get the inspiration for his prototype armor (while a captive of SE Asian warlord Wong Chu) from a half-remembered glimpse at some abandoned plans of his father's.

As our host so wisely (and frequently) points out: "Anything is possible in the Ross-verse!"

Iron man wearing an army helmet is like having him wear a football helmet if he wanted to play football not needed
