When his stories frequently invoked the Cold War during his first years of publication, Iron Man stood for liberal capitalism, fighting against communism in the name of democracy and capitalism. [88] In the early 1970s, Iron Man became more self-doubting, questioning when the use of force is justified against communism, [89] and he responded by becoming a philanthropist. [90] The 1990s saw Iron Man reject broader ideology in favor of individualism, and his allegiance to American democracy was replaced by his own personal values. He remains anti-communist, however, reiterating his support for democracy and refusing to do business in China following the Tiannamen Square Massacre. [91] Iron Man is portrayed as an archetype of how masculinity is seen in the United States, [92] with his success in business and his playboy characterization allowing the character to symbolize a masculine image of the country during the Cold War. [93] This characterization also manifests in negative traits that were prominent in early Iron Man stories, including belligerence, negligence, and misogyny. [94] Hood, Cooper (July 8, 2019).

Growing opposition to the American involvement in Vietnam prompted a shift in Iron Man's characterization at this time as part of a larger push by Marvel to be more apolitical. [4] [17] Lee shifted the focus of Iron Man stories to espionage and domestic crime, incorporating the intelligence agency S.H.I.E.L.D. into these stories.
