My Comic Hero - War Machine
Source: WikipediaI figured I’d do an occasional run on my favourite comic book characters who don’t always see a huge amount of headline space.
Starting the series, is War Machine. I’ll be watching Iron Man 2 in the hope that War Machine gets a decent role.
Who: War Machine (James Rupert Rhodes)
House: Marvel Comics
Moment: In the animated Iron Man series, James Rhodes was struggling with claustrophobia and still showed up to work the Iron Man / War machine suits. Plus, as an African American pilot, and offsider for Tony Stark, he was given the WarMachine which was the heavy firepower armour. Sure, the spin off series of the WarMachine comic suffered cross-over-itis, and the usual “Replace Armour with Alien” emergency plot device, but still, War Machine is in my list as a favourite, and he’s a reason for me to hang out for Iron Man 2: The Quickening.
