If that doesn't make me like 1 step away from my own super hero status, I honestly don't know what does.
It's no wonder I LOVE super-hero movies. These characters, in a sense, are my friends by default.
I will admit, I'm not big into the super-hero world, though. Like I know Superman's secret identity is Clark Kent. I know Bruce Wyane = Batman. I also know Peter Parker = Spidey. Popeye loves Olive Oil. The basics. What can you expect, I'm still trying to find my golden lasso!
Beyond that, I have limited knowledge. I have no idea that The Hulk and Spidey like their soda out of a bottle rather than a can. I can pretend to know this (like the soda), but I have no real interest in knowing the deep, dark secrets of the hero's past. I like watching them save the world and get the girl.
N, on the other hand, is a total comic book fanatic. He LOVES all the deep, dark secrets and weired ways that the heroes connect. You can give him any comic book character and he will give you a 20 minute lesson on who the secret identity is, how he found out he was a super hero, what he likes to drink, where he lives, his friends, the color of his bathroom, what time he was born, etc.
It's safe to say that my world of super heroes opened up 1,000-fold when I married. Prior to 2005, I had no knowledge of the X-Men or the Fantastic Four. I was totally missing out.
On Valentine's Day when N mentioned we should stay in and watch Iron Man I was totally game. A new superhero for me to learn about. Heck yes!
I will state for the record, Robert Downey, Jr. as Iron Man was absolutely perfect. I think it's safe to say I have a new favorite super-hero. Which is saying quite a bit since Wolverine is hard to top.
Maybe it's the gadgets and lack of bushy sideburns.
Maybe it's because Iron Man could totally make me a WAY cooler golden lasso.
