Movie/comic Tony question

[twilight-fang.livejournal.com]

I'm stuck editing the next part to my fic because I'm not sure if I'm referring to the device in Tony's chest properly. In the movie, it's referred to as an arc reactor, but what is it called in the comics? How long has Tony been without it?

I've seen a few older comic covers where Tony is bare chested and doesn't have any sort of device installed/implanted and am now totally confused. @_@

If you hit the "scans" tag in the comm, someone posted quite a bit of the sentient armour plot last year.

Tony's eyes were changed, and he was given the arc reactor in 616 canon because Matt Fraction wants to make his comic as much like the movie as he can. -sighs-

Oh, thanks for pointing that out! ^_^ I didn't even know that there was a scans section. Must check that out soon...

So, Tony's eyes have permanently changed color? That's just disappointing. They shouldn't change the character's physical appearance to match a movie that was made after the character was already developed. Separately, I would enjoy both representations of the character... but not a mix. :(

There's lots of fun stuff there. Including, iirc, Tony dressed as Alice in Wonderland.

Well, they've changed colour in that title, with the Loroca art. Every one else still has them as blue, so far as I remember.
