What Happened To Everyone Who Wore Iron Man's Armour?
4. Squirrel Girl
Marvel Comics
If Norman Osborn and Mary Jane Watson weren't names that sprung to mind when you thought of Iron Man, then it's probably the case that Squirrel Girl didn't cross your mind either.
Doreen Green has been mingling with Marvel's best and brightest for just under thirty years now, but has only recently come into her own with the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl series, helmed by Ryan North and Erica Henderson.
In the same issue that would see Doreen take on (and defeat) Galactus, Squirrel Girl steals one of Iron Man's armours and uses it to fly to the moon. It's... convenient, that she manages to find an armour that accommodates her bushy tail, but still, there are few sights any better than seeing Squirrel Girl take to the skies in her own Iron Man armour.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
