Type: Amalgam
Amalgamondays wouldn't have lasted this long if not for fans of the Amalgam concept. Look at this cool armor, complete with iron toupee.
This is in fact the second Superman/Iron Man amalgam to make into Reign, the other being PaulC's Man of Iron. In the original Amalgam Comics, Superman was combined with Captain America, and indeed they did have things in common (roots in the start of their respective universes, arrived from another place/time, the shield, the American Way, colors), but might Iron Man have also proved to be fertile ground?
Visually, it has. In a story, it's harder to draw parallels. There's the Steel/Iron connection, of course, and Steel/War Machine. Both Clark and Tony have black hair. Not much there. Tony Stark in fact has more in common with Lex Luthor. Now THERE'S an interesting switch-up. Iron Superman, actually head of StarkCorp, up against those nasty reporters always trying to bring him down both as a businessman and as a superhero. I'd buy that for a dollar!
