Fan Reaction:
I remember
the Iron Man comic books #59-60. "Cry Marauder" is an excellent comic book
storyline when Iron Man battles The Masked Marauder. The wisecracks made by
the Iron Man to Masked Marauder when he defeats Steele after Steele give Iron
Man a whiff of tear gas and puts on a gadget on Iron Man's armor to render him
helpless and Iron Man uses his wits to overcome his helpless condition and
defeat Steele. Marauder puts the fear into Iron Man who has to tone down his
fight with Masked Marauder to avoid innocent bystanders from getting hit with
stray bullets from Masked Marauder's "pop toy gun" as Iron Man called Marauder
laser gun. Marauder is either a great talker when Iron Man thinks he's defeated
Marauder and Marauder thinks takes out Iron Man with the opti blast and then
kayos Iron Man with his laser gun and takes Iron Man prisoner. I agree the
sequel was lame but Iron Man's brains to overcome the second temporal blindness
uses his knowledge of his armor saved him. Food for thought in the Daredevil
comic "None Are So Blind" the security guards who are blinded by the Masked
Marauder do not pass out but in Iron Man #59 the security guard at Stark
Industries does get knocked out by the optical blast by Marauder. Go figure.
