@icebike According to Disney’s most recent proxy statement, Jobs owns 7.4% of Disney’s common stock: http://amedia.disney.go.com/investorrelations/proxy/proxy_2009.pdf (page 78)

"Steve Jobs is most like Tony Stark"

Hmmm. Interesting. Superpowered but with a bad heart. Works on lots of levels.

I would have to say that Steve Jobs is most like Tony Stark in my mind.

Steve Jobs would be the “Tinkerer”. That was the guy who supplied all the super villains with their gear and gizmos.

The question is not which character is Jobs most like, its who does he picture himself as.

I propose Galactus — God like Destroyer of Worlds (or in Steve’s case destroyer of markets).

Or how about Thor — God but in human form tortured by infirmaties.

There is a theme there

I don’t know… I see jobs more as an Apocalypse guy myself. Silently attempting to conquer the world. Just my thought…

I’d say Apple got special treatment from Disney when it lauched movies and series at the iTunes Store. If ever the Apple tablet has e-comics or motion comics I am fairly sure that Marvel would be in there after this deal. And remember, Steve Jobs is still Chief Shareholder of the Walt Disney Co.

By: icebike

Steve Jobs being a share holder means nothing here folks.

Disney ownership is disperse, and Jobs does not even rise to a 5% level of ownership, the first level where you need to report to the SEC.

This story has nothing to do with the iPhone or Apple.

Finally! The Dr. Strange roller coaster is imminent! Or maybe a Man-Thing tilt-a-whirl!

Could this acquisition be somehow related to the ability of tablets to offer a wonderful e-comics viewing experience? Just wondering.. And to answer yer question I fell Jobs would be a terrific Dr. Victor Von Doom for this character is obsessed with tech and acts as a enlightened despot. Apple would be his own Latveria.

Disney just better let Marvel do your thing. I don’t want Mickey Mouse mixing with Iron Man. I hope they keep doing the same thing just don’t let Disney water anything down. Does this mean an end to R rated movies? I bet Universal Studios are crying right now.

I don’t think any marvel characters fit Steve Jobs persona but I do know one D.C. Character which fit his mold perfectly, Bruce Wayne …. He is filthy RICH…. Just like our good buddy at apple
