When it comes to superhero poses, there are few as iconic as Iron Man and his three-point landing pose, which Deadpool called the “superhero landing” in his movie last year.

The man behind the pose is artist Adi Granov, who came up with the pose for the cover of The Invincible Iron Man #76 in 1998.
