After humbling experiences, two distinguished, intelligent, and bewhiskered characters from Marvel Comics—Doctor Strange and ‘Iron Man’—became superheroes. Whether audiences have read comics or watched the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, most people know the origins of these iconic characters. When terrorists kidnap him, Tony Stark, with the help of his fellow prisoner Ho Yinsen, builds the first ‘Iron Man’ armor. This traumatic event leads Tony to create more models as a free man, becoming the Armored ‘Avenger; Iron Man’. ‘Doctor Stephen Strange’ goes through a similar traumatic experience. He is an arrogant yet skilled neurosurgeon who loses the ability to use his hands after a car accident. He then trains to use the mystic arts to become the Sorcerer Supreme.

Most Marvelites know the relationship between these two characters from the MCU. Even if it's because actors Robert Downy Jr and Benedict Cumberbatch both play ‘Sherlock Holmes’, the chemistry between the MCU's ‘Iron Man’ and ‘Doctor Strange’ is a treat to watch in ‘Avengers: Infinity War’. The characters atone for their past mistakes as their superhero selves in both the movies and the comics; however, some of their arrogance clearly lives on. This dilemma creates engaging chemistry between the two. In the comics, however, Tony Stark has a problem with Doctor Strange's superhero name.
‘The Darkhold: Iron Man’ #1, by Ryan North and Guillermo Sanna Bauza, twists the story after Tony Stark returns. Tony becomes attached to the armor in a scarier way than ever before as it peels off his skin and shatters his bones. The comic stars ‘Pepper Potts’, who constantly tries to separate her boss from his ‘Iron Man’ armor. In one of the early encounters with Tony, Happy Hogan, Pepper, and Jarvis try to talk Tony into taking a break from his suit. Happy tells his boss that he should see a "real" doctor. Tony has doctorates, but he does not feel the need to be addressed as ‘Doctor Stark.’
