Marvel Comics has some great stories behind them and some of the most memorable origin stories to be told in the world of comic books (alongside with DC comics.)
I decided to make some Marvel Comics inspired pieces.

In the Armor Wars (1987-1988) Tony Stark's Iron Man armors are stolen by The Spymaster who then sells them to Justin Hammer. (His "Silver Centurion" armor remains untouched) Iron Man believes that there are other villains that stole his technology, among them Titanium Man and The Crimson Dynamo.
During the storyline Iron Man Changes armors from "The Silver Centurion" (red/grey) to a modified "Stealth Armor" (blue) to what would be the newest Iron Man armor of that time period.
It's a good story, but I wish that we could see the stolen armors in action...

In this version of the Armor Wars (2009) Tony's Stark's Iron Man armors are also stolen after Tony creates a new type of non-lethal rescue armor. After he finishes, he has a press conference about it and doesn't realize that ALL of his armors are stolen including the rescue armor. The thief is a Russian, The Red Barbarian.
Krushki wears the "Golden Avenger" armor (similar to the original grey armor)
Hammer wears the "War Machine" armor
Sickle wears the original "Red/Gold" armor
Darkstar wears the "Stealth" armor
Fantasma wears the normal Iron Man armor (of that time)
and The Red Barbarian wears "THE HULK BUSTER"
"The only armor that's been designed for a specific opponent, just in case"-Tony Stark
Tony goes out and finds each of his armors and defeats each villain. With every defeat, he wears that armor starting with the most primitive to the most advanced.
This was pretty cool, because we get to see all the armors in action (oh and he also fights Omega Red) the only thing is that it was created for all ages, so what could have been some super cool fight scenes are really watered down, but it's still pretty cool.

The Night Gwen Stacy died was a HUGE event in The Amazing Spider-Man.
The Green Goblin kidnaps Gwen Stacy (Spider-Man's girl friend) and while fighting decides to hurl Gwen off the side of the George Washington Bridge (but depicted as the Brooklyn Bridge) Spidey goes to the rescue and shoots a web to catch her. The web catches her leg and Spidey brings her up thinking he saved her. But that was not the case, when he caught her the whiplash snapped her neck.
This story arc is considered to be the one that ended the Silver Age of Comic Books (1956-c.1973) and began the darker grittier "Bronze Age of Comic Books" (c.1973-c.1985)
I really want to make more comic book related work, so lets see what happens.
