I think its a matter of some people like camp and others don't. I dislike it, but Iron Man stopped being so campy pretty fast. His early battles were absurd but once he got better, more seriously dangerous villians, the camp factor went way, way down. It's still super dated, but its old so there's nothing that can be done about that.

Happy Hogan was an ex-boxer that Tony employeed as a cauffer/bodygaurd. (He was in the movie, was played by the director and had about three lines.) Tony kept Happy around so that if his chest peice failed and he went into cardiac arrest, he'd have someone right there. Happy rarely got any actual work to do and was usually mystified as to why Tony employeed him. His actual name was Harry and he never smiled EVER, so people called him "Happy" ironically. He was in love with Pepper and they got married in 1969, I think. Happy died during Civil War, and as a result, I don't particularly care about him.

I had NOT seen them and the Illuminati special was the most fantastic thing EVER. I LOVE the Illuminati. Tony is so weird.
