- Florin_Andrei 12y agoI think we're clear (or at least the press is) on who is Iron Man in this bunch. Batman is still pretty cool, in my book. I've been around the block, and I've learned that to ask 100% kink-free moral perfection from human beings is a fool's errand. Stomp a few people's faces for the eventual greater good is fine, if you don't do it too much. Not sure if I could find an equivalent in real life, though. Maybe Bill Gates? No, he's more like the ruthless merchant turned philantropist. Ozymandias is some famous media moguls, along with a bunch of finance tycoons for good measure. It's a far more popular archetype.
