Artist Imbong Hadisoebroto not only created this super info graphic that reveals Supes 
has had more costume changes than one may have realized - he's also rendered some 
really nice versions of Kal-El in the new Man of Steel movie suit...

30 Years Ago - "Rhodey" Rhodes Is Iron Man


Tony Starks's drinking ultimately required Rhodey to become Iron Man 
in February 1983's issue #170 of  The Invincible Iron Man.
Details and above scan via this site.


When I got into comics a bit later in 80's - Tony was mostly recovered - but Rhodey was still 
frequently piloting the suit. They were kind of like co-Iron Men. And of course Tony was tinkering 
with various next-gen tech that would lead to War Machine, as well as his own upgraded suits.

Basically, up until the mid 1960's the balloons might as well have been designed for the Joker's parade 
from Tim Burton's Batman...or the Green Goblin's parade attack scene from Raimi's Spider-Man.
