I have, on and off... the appeal of Iron Man to me was, like Batman, that this was an ordinary man who used his natural strengths (in his case, his engineering intellect) to rise above the crowd. He was pseudo-believable... at least, a lot more than humanoid beings from the planet Krypton, etc.
I thought the movie stayed grounded in just that way, too... rooted in real humans' real problems, not in elaborate plots and villians with freak accident-based superpowers.
