Why Love The Beyond Awesome IronMan Plus IronMan Cocktail

Infinity War is coming. The trailer is already epic.  I think we are going to be at a loss for words for the actual movie.  Before we get there, let’s talk Marvel super-characters!  My starting point? I would love to take a minute to talk about the hero that started it all.  Why Love The Beyond Awesome IronMan. And that pairs nicely with Why Love The Beyond Awesome IronMan Cocktail to toast to all things Tony Stark. This is a new FanGirl – Marvel Moms series, so do visit my friends and come back next Wednesday for more.

Meet Tony Stark and IronMan

Meet the ultimate man who is IronMan. According to Marvel ”

Wounded, captured and forced to build a weapon by his enemies, billionaire industrialist Tony Stark instead created an advanced suit of armor to save his life and escape captivity. Now with a new outlook on life, Tony uses his money and intelligence to make the world a safer, better place as Iron Man.  Tony has a genius level intellect that allows him to invent a wide range of sophisticated devices, specializing in advanced weapons and armor. He possesses a keen business mind…..Powers? None; Tony’s body had been enhanced by the modified techno-organic virus, Extremis, but it is currently inaccessible and inoperable.

Why Love The Beyond Awesome IronMan

Why Love the Beyond Awesome IronMan? Admittedly, it feels weird to have to explain, but, to the point,  Tony Stark himself.   You got to love how he embraces his qualities and recognizes his downfalls. He created Jarvis who I miss dearly.  Hello Vision! He is clearly a genius and intelligence is very sexy.  You can’t beat two MIT master degrees, a suit that is being used today in healthcare since 2013, and a brilliant scientist who is not a mutant or an alien but a super huMAN.   No masks, no secret identities: Tony Stark is Ironman, and plus helloooooooooo, Robert Downey Jr!!!!

The Marvels of Marvel: Infinity War Prep

It is hard to just focus on one Marvel character.  They are all cool in their own right. So, fangirls unite,  we will shine the spotlight on as many Marvel heroes as we can every other Wednesday This is a simple guide of sorts that kicks-off with Patty at No Guilt life who talks about rocking fun Loki.  Britni over at Play, Party, Plan joins in the conversation with what I believe will be shirtless Thor common ground. On the flip side, Civil War is definitively going strong with Tania at Lola Lambchops who bearded or not, adores he Captain America.  

Set the Marvel Mood with The IronMan Cocktail

To start in Tony style, have a sip, indulge. We know you can have hot sake aboard the Stark private jet.  Tony Stark starts out with a glass of a single malt scotch as he rides a military Humvee in the very first Ironman.  A Hundred Acre Cab and bubbly, a dirty martini with a lemon twist made by Black Widow and the veggie juice the morning have all been part of IronMan’s drink menu.  Now here is something for YOU to drink while you take in all the awesomeness of IronMan.  Truth is, this IronMan Cocktail delights even the #TeamCap peeps.

The Marvels of Marvel: Infinity War Prep

I do hope we can all unite under the sarcastic leadership of the one and only IronMan in Infinity War.  So much is at stake, we can’t take chances on old men. In the end though, it seems we are going to be rooting for all the Avengers and Guardians  on May 4th when Infinity War is out.  Needless to say, I am bitting my nails.  Will we loose someone?

Now everyone drink up our IronMan Cocktail and, do tell me.  What is your favorite IronMan trait?
