In real life. Max Levy is a happy 5-year-old boy who battles hemophilia(血友病）。However, in the pages of Marvel Comics, he is “Iron Max, fighting crime and helping others. Both of the are superheroes. "Since he was a baby he's been told what he can't do and now it's kind of delighted to see what he can do, and he can be anything-he can be a superhero, his father, Dan levy, told NBC News. "That's just the coolest thing. "
Max's transformation to "Iron Max" began when he was 3 years old and had to go to the hospital to have a metal disk put into his chest to facilitate his hemophilia. His father told him he was just like Iron Man, who had the same thing in his chest that gives him new abilities to go along with the ones from his special armored suit. Dan Levy then used the hashtag(标签）＃ironmax on the social media to update family and friends on his condition after the operation.
A charitable act by Max's sister Zoe, 8, who was selling calendars with pictures of Max to support kids with hemophilia being treated at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, soon came to the attention of Marvel. The creators of Iron Man then decided officially to make Max a superhero by putting him in one of their comics right alongside Iron Man himself.
＂I'm not a crier, I'm not-it was really the first time, I just came into the room, and I just cried, "his father told NBC News." It's been a year and a half… honestly not great, this kid should gain a win. ”In the Marvel comic, Iron Man's friend, Tony Stark, meets Mar during a visit to a children's hospital and creates a special armored suit just for him. The two then prepare to fight against Doctor Doom.
＂I think it's pretty cool being in a comic book, "Max told NBC News. "Like it's really cool. I'm making other children not scared because there's a kid who's a superhero and they would like to be that I guess. "By putting "Iron Max" in a well-known comic, the hope is also that it brings more attention to other kids with hemophilia, a disorder that prevents blood from clotting (凝结结块） properly. “This can help other kids with hemophilia and people with other diseases or just to raise awareness and money, Levy said, "I really honestly think this is just the beginning of something amazing for him."
