| - Iron Lantern is a fictional character and an Amalgam Comics superhero, whose true debut was in Iron Lantern #1 (June 1997), though his first (metafictional) appearance in the Amalgam universe was in Showcase of Suspense #1. He is a combination of Marvel Comics' Iron Man and DC Comics' Green Lantern.
- When Amalgam Comics were seeking to rip off Green Lantern, the writers were having trouble thinking of one that had the right style. At a garden party in England, one of the writers, Stan Kirby, noticed an array of iron lanterns hanging on the veranda. The name stuck in Kirby's mind and later became the name of Amalgam Comics' Green Lantern character. He would later become famous for his memorable catch phrases: "My name is not cheesy, stop saying that!" and "I am Iron Lantern and i swear i'm cooler than i sound". He never did make truth out of the latter.

| - When Amalgam Comics were seeking to rip off Green Lantern, the writers were having trouble thinking of one that had the right style. At a garden party in England, one of the writers, Stan Kirby, noticed an array of iron lanterns hanging on the veranda. The name stuck in Kirby's mind and later became the name of Amalgam Comics' Green Lantern character. In terms of Design, Iron Lantern actually owes more to Ironman, while his superpowers are reminiscent of Shadow Lady from Big Bang Comics. This caused some controversy to begin with as Shadow Lady is a porn-star. Nevertheless, Iron Lantern debuted as one of the two stars in Showcase of Suspense in 1983, eventually receiving his own title in 1997 with Iron Lantern #1. He would later become famous for his memorable catch phrases: "My name is not cheesy, stop saying that!" and "I am Iron Lantern and i swear i'm cooler than i sound". He never did make truth out of the latter.
