The Iron Man movie poster is what is considered the first Marvel movie to kick off the entire Marvel fandom.
Relative Size: Robert Downy Jr. split into two separate persons (Iron man and Tony Stark) alluding to the importance placed on Iron Man. Iron Man is presented as larger than Tony Stark. The other characters Rhodney, Obadiah Stane, and Pepper Potts are all smaller in size in comparison
Feminine Touch: Not present as the only female on the poster is Pepper Potts and she assumes a strong dominant pose with her hands on her hips
Function Ranking: Not present
Ritualization of Subordination: Pepper Potts is under both Iron Man/Tony Stark and Obadiah Stane
Licensed Withdrawal: Interestingly, the characters who hold eye contact in the movie poster are Iron Man, Pepper Potts, and Obadiah Stane with Tony Stark and Rhodney looking off into the distance
Other notes: Pepper Potts is a renowned business woman in the Marvel Universe except on this poster she isn’t wearing any business attire. Instead she is wearing a rather seductive, form fitting dress
