[QUOTE="Cthulhudrew, post: 4201477, member: 4090"] Harold "Happy" Hogan (played by Jon Favreau in the movie) is Tony Stark's longtime chauffeur. He's also a former professional boxer, and eventually ends up marrying Pepper Potts in the comics. Rhodey, actually. A nickname for James Rhodes, who is Tony's pilot in the comic. Not the point, though. The point is- why wouldn't you give names to characters that appear in the movie, especially characters that are likely to return for the sequels? Doesn't matter if its a comic movie or a book movie or a movie movie. Basic element of storytelling- identify your characters to the reader. Otherwise you have about as much attachment to the characters as that guy who has worked in your office with you for the last five years whose name you don't know but you are always saying "Hey!" to or giving the acknowledging head nod when you pass by him at the water cooler. Which is to say, none at all. [/QUOTE]
