Tony Stark is richer than Bruce Wayne
Oct. 5th, 2012 09:33 am...according to analysis by Forbes Magazine of the top 15 richest fictional characters. ETA: Direct link to the Forbes items here. ETA2: Smaug, eh? *is amused*
Reading Cap/Iron Man, or really any Avengers fan fic at all, leads you into areas of profligate and conspicuous consumption where a girl from the burbs like me has never thought to tread. Of course, I don't know what you kids are watching these days on your trashy reality shows, so maybe I'm behind the times here.
Anyway, my first question was, what about Tony Stark's cars? You can find them here and here, though you will need to prod the net a little if you want to see pics and prices for all of them. I was particulalry amused by the gasps of the knowledgable when Tony smashed his 1967 Shelby Cobra. And seeing that name answers a question I was having in traffic the other day when I was actually BEHIND a Shebly Cobra - though clearly NOT a 1967 - and going, dude, why does that sound familiar? Anyway, I must be having some kind of masculine mid-life-crisis becuase *I* want the Audi R8 for *my* going to get groceries car. *pouts* And dear Lord, check out this article on the 2014 Bugatti Veryron Hyper Sport that will apparently be Tony's new toy for Iron Man 3. I. Want. It.
Then, actually inspired by Boardwalk Empire and Jimmy Darmody and HIS fantastic suits, I went out looking for Tony Stark's designer. First of all trying to do a web search on Tony Stark Iron Man suits is NOT productive. *glares* However, I found a couple of funny threads in fora on the topic.
Just some people nattering on about Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne and suit designers - not really that interesting.
A thread on that gorgeous pale grey suit he wore in Monaco, and some guy who is clearly trying to BE Tony Stark, OMG. :)
But I really want to point you to this guy. A discussion of the wardrobes of Tony Stark, Pepper Potts, and Bruce Banner. Also, a link a the bottom to a great entry on Cap, and why his clothes were clearly bought by SHIELD, among other topics. I like his take on Pepper's bare feet, as well. And he has an amusing obsession with the heights of the actors (and did I mention here that when I watched The Avengers this weekend, I kept trying to see when RDJ was wearing lifts? Because I'm weird, but also, I'm really bad at shoes and I was never really sure...) and he offers a funny link to a selection of photos of the Ghost Protocol cast.
Hello!
I also found that bit of Tony Stark hentai art that I was trying to track down the other day. By no means visit a tumblr called Rogers-and-Stark. You will almost certainly regret it.
