The lucky winner was comic creator Martin Hand. Congratulations to him, commiserations to the those who entered – better luck next time!
Martin wins a a copy of each of Winning Moves Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Universe, Marvel Avengers Assemble and Marvel Comics Retro packs – correctly answering the question posed… “In the original Iron Man comics and Iron Man film (2008), who was Iron Man?“
