But the superhero wasn’t in the UK because the world fell in a drastic peril. The idea was more to show off a new car.

After being unveiled at Comic Con in the USA last year, Hyundai has now confirmed it will bring 300 of the Kona Iron Man SUVs to the UK. The Kona has matte grey and ‘red armour’ exterior paint like Iron Man along with special 18-inch alloy wheels which feature the superhero’s face.
