“All beings so far have created something beyond themselves; and do you
want to be the ebb of this great flood and even go back to the beasts than
overcome man?” [Nietzsche on the “Ubermensch”]
The past comes back to haunt Tony
Stark in the third installment of the MARVEL franchise, with the film being one of most
bolt-busting and action-packed in the trilogy.

Touching on the aftermath of
superhero blockbuster “Avengers Assemble”,
Stark comes to suffer from an undeniable anxiety problem following the day’s
events in New York (I reckon that’s standard considering one had suffered a near-death
experience), giving the film immediate
leverage, as Stark reveals himself to be at his physically weakest; the man
inside the suit becoming a broken man on the verge of a breakdown. Granted, he has always been a relatively self-destructive character, what with the
laddish aura, the below the belt sense of humour and the inherent materialism, but c'mon, that's all part of his appeal.
