From the earliest days of his appearances in Marvel Comics' 'Tales of Suspense,' Tony Stark has always been modeled after aviator/inventor/industrialist Howard Hughes. With 'Iron Man 3,' Stark assumes a new dimension of Hughes' persona: that of the paranoid shut-in who, in his later years, became notorious for roaming his private floor of the Desert Inn Hotel in Las Vegas, freaking out about invis

Want to watch Robert Downey Jr. get violently tossed around on the 'Iron Man 3' set? Why wouldn't you? A new behind-the-scenes look at the Marvel sequel has hit, offering plenty of destruction and green-screen chaos.
