Of course no iron man exists in the real world, hence the need for films. This argument could be aimed at almost any american based movie - take Avatar for example; Theres the token "good guy" that isn't actually good and is just out for himself, the evil authoritarian power of the government, the loyal army pilot etc. Any movie can be broken into such elements. Tony Stark embodies everything people aspire to be, he is successful, rich, good looking, a genius, and a superhero. People like him do not exist, and that is the point. Its two hours of entertainment to give people a little hope, so why not enjoy it.
