Iron Man is a fictional comic book superhero who appears in books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by writer-editor Stan Lee, developed by scripter Larry Lieber, and designed by artists Don Heck and Jack Kirby. He made his first appearance in Tales of Suspense #39 (March 1963).
An American billionaire playboy, industrialist, and ingenious engineer, Tony Stark suffers a severe chest injury during a kidnapping in which his captors attempt to force him to build a weapon of mass destruction. He instead creates a powered suit of armor to save his life and escape captivity. Later, Stark augments his suit with weapons and other technological devices he designed through his company, Stark Industries. He uses the suit and successive versions to protect the world as Iron Man. Initially, Iron Man was a vehicle for Stan Lee to explore Cold War themes, particularly the role of American technology and business in the fight against communism. Subsequent re-imaginings of Iron Man have transitioned from Cold War themes to contemporary concerns, such as corporate crime and terrorism.

Iron Man possesses powered armor that gives him superhuman strength and durability, flight, and an array of weapons. The armor is invented and worn by Stark (with occasional short-term exceptions). Other people who have assumed the Iron Man identity include Stark's long-time partner and best friend James Rhodes; close associates Harold "Happy" Hogan; Eddie March; and (briefly) Michael O'Brien.
The weapons systems of the suit have changed over the years, but Iron Man's standard offensive weapons have always been the repulsor rays that are fired from the palms of his gauntlets. Other weapons built into various incarnations of the armor include: the uni-beam projector in its chest; pulse bolts (that pick up kinetic energy along the way; so the farther they travel, the harder they hit); an electromagnetic pulse generator; and a defensive energy shield that can be extended up to 360 degrees. Other capabilities include: generating ultra-freon (i.e., a freeze-beam); creating and manipulating magnetic fields; emitting sonic blasts; and projecting 3-dimensional holograms (to create decoys).

Originates from Hawaii, the "hawaii Ironman" is the hardest one there is and qualifying for it can be as difficult as finishing the race itself.
An "Iroman" is a triathlon event( see triathlon)which takes all three disciplines(swimming,biking and running) to extreme levels. The event starts with a 3.8 km swim, then going on to the 180km bike and the marathon(about 43km)run.
There is no break between these 3 sports which is what makes it so hard. That and the intense distances. There is a time limit for each event. The swimming time limit is about 2 hours and 20 minutes.
The best usually take about 8 hours to finish an Ironman, the worst will take over 16 hours and some might even have to drop out or risk severe injury and in some cases, death.
It is hard to get into an "Ironman" event, and preparing for one can take years depending on the individuel. Those who participate and finish get a t-shirt which they can proudly wear post-race.
Triathlon and the Ironman are growing in popularity.
