With Iron Man 2 coming out in five months, Paramount is starting to roll out the viral marketing machine. SuperheroHype has one of the first non-poster images out there, one of Whiplash’s clippings about billionaire industrialist/ex-weaponeer, Tony Stark:
Stunning the world’s press, amazing captains of industry, delighting a curious public and thrilling children the world over, Tony Stark, CEO of Stark Enterprises announced this week that he was the main behind Iron Man. The mysterious metal-clad behemoth that has battled terrorists, challenged natural disasters and rescued thousands of people around the world, had people guessing as to his true identity.
It isn’t the most hard-hitting piece of marketing out there, but it gets points for getting out pretty much all the important stuff out from the first film. Want to see more? Check out the rest at SuperheroHype, right here.

Current guesses summary:
Tony stole the armor design from Whiplash.
Steppes is mispelled which alludes to Gengis Khan.
N. King -> Stephen King’s N -> “Is this reality, is this a dream…”
Hulk, Cap. America, Hawkeye yada yada….
His secret will get out (armor, alcholism, brother?)
