Ok, I was at www.songmeanings.net and looking at some of my favortie songs' meanings. When I started reading the descriptions for Iron Man, I found one explanation that said it was based on a movie about a man who went to the future, saw the apocolypse, went back in time to stop it, but went through a magnetic field which turned his skin into iron. When he got back to his time, no one believed his or even listened. So when he executed his revenge, he ended up causing the apocolypse that he saw.

But nowhere does anyone actually name the movie, anyone here know?

Damn, I believe I don't know that movie but it sounds awesome. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] :D

Kind of reminds me of the surreal black and white Japanese horror movie Tetsuo though there weren't any time leaps.

thats what i was going to say, i'm not quiet sure but i'm going to ask my step-dad, he should know.

Hmm I don't see any mention of it being based on a movie here, everything else sounds about right tho:
