An American billionaire playboy, business magnate, and ingenious engineer, Tony Stark suffers a severe chest injury during a kidnapping in which his captors attempt to force him to build a weapon of mass destruction. He instead creates a powered suit of armor to save his life and escape captivity. Later, Stark augments his suit with weapons and other technological devices he designed through his company, Stark Industries. He uses the suit and successive versions to protect the world as Iron Man, while at first concealing his true identity. Initially, Iron Man was a vehicle for Stan Lee to explore Cold War themes, particularly the role of American technology and business in the fight against communism. Subsequent re-imaginings of Iron Man have transitioned from Cold War themes to contemporary concerns, such as corporate crime and terrorism.
Arno Stark is the future first cousin once removed of Tony Stark. His father is Stark's unscrupulous cousin Morgan Stark. Arno inherited Tony Stark's company Stark Industries and rather than use the armor for heroic deeds, prefers to act as a hired mercenary or commit acts of corporate espionage to cripple his competitors for industrialist gain.
In his original appearance, the Iron Man of 2020 was employed by Sunset Bain (then an old woman) to destroy Machine Man, who had been accidentally discovered and subsequently reactivated by the Midnight Wreckers, rebellious youths who scavenged discarded technology. Despite ostensibly superior power, Iron Man was defeated by the furious Machine Man, who went on to claim "I'm a better man than you."
Dunwich (/ˈdʌnwɪtʃ/) is a fictional town that appeared in the H. P. Lovecraftshort story "The Dunwich Horror" (1929). Dunwich is found in the fictional Miskatonic River Valley of Massachusetts, part of the imaginary region sometimes called Lovecraft Country. The inhabitants are depicted as inbred, uneducated, and very superstitious, while the town itself is described as economically poor with many decrepit and abandoned buildings.
Origin
Lovecraft may have named the town after the lost port of Dunwich in Suffolk, England. This town was the subject (though not mentioned by name) of Algernon Charles Swinburne's poem "By the North Sea", which was in an anthology owned by Lovecraft. This Dunwich also appears in Arthur Machen's novellaThe Terror (1917), which Lovecraft is known to have read.
Lovecraft also could have been inspired by other New England towns with names ending in -wich, such as Ipswich near Salem, Massachusetts, East and West Greenwich in Rhode Island, and Greenwich, Massachusetts, a rural town that has since been flooded to create the Quabbin Reservoir. Although the English town is pronounced "DUN-ich" (similar to the Rhode Island Greenwiches), Lovecraft never specified how he preferred his Dunwich be pronounced.
Dunwich is an Italian symphonic/gothic metal band founded in Rome in 1985. Dunwich were among the first to use a female vocalist and symphonic music elements, especially brass instrument. Rockeramagazine considers them forerunners of the modern symphonic metal, defining them as the "first symphonic metal band".
History
The name
The project was founded in 1985 by Claudio Nigris a multi-instrumentalist. At the time he was twenty years old. The inspiration for Dunwich comes from:
The Lovecraftian world, the band first demo tape of 1985 was The Dunwich Horror like the short story of the same name.
The city of Dunwich in Suffolk disappeared due storms and coastal erosion between 1287 and 1328.
The 80s
The first period of Dunwich projects lasts until 1992, with the productions of fours demo tapes, inspired mainly from Lovecraftian works. The first three demos has also the titles borrwed from Lovecraft's stories: The Dunwich Horror (1985), Horror at Red Hook (1988) and Morbid dance tale of Yog-Sothoth (1989).
At that time the band lineup had only two fixed members: Claudio Nigris and Alessandro Vitanza at drums. Among other members in that period also Andy Menario, later in Martira.
In 1991 Dunwich was on Main Stage at Arezzo Wave in 1991, they were also broadcast on VideoMusic, the Italian music television between '80s and '90s.
The first period of Dunwich productions end in the same year with the demo tape On the way back. Elements of ispirations are no only Lovercraft's stories, but they begin to include also legends and other references.

Originally written in 1988, then tweaked ten years later to reflect my then-state of being. Still rings very true with me.
SILENT ASSASSIN
(lyrics: Calhoun; music: Vanderzeeuw)
From "End Of My Rope" (2007)
Somebody save me from depression I'm under
Maddening itch crawls in my skin
Forever a slave to serve the demon that haunts me
Oblivious condition that I'm in
This monster in my chest (my heart) is bleeding
A feeling that my time has come too soon
I scream and I cry, but countless times I'm denied
The passion that I need to heal the wound
A ticking time bomb in my chest beating slowly
A muffled thud not listened by the blind
Rage kept in check by one lone horseman that guards me
A swinging noose wrapped tight to seal and bind
Let me fall asleep in a nightmare
Let horrors of my childh...

Has he lost his mind Can he see or is he blind Can he walk at all, Or if he moves will he fall Is he alive or dead Has he thoughts within his head We'll just pass him there why should we even care He was turned to steel in the great magnetic field When he travelled time for the future of mankind Now the time is here for Iron Man to spread fear Vengeance from the grave Kills the people he once saved Nobody wants him He just stares at the world Planning his vengeance that he will soon unfurl Nobody wants him They just turn their heads Nobody helps him Now he has his revenge Heavy boots of lead fills his victims full of dread Running as fast as they can Iron Man lives again!
