My colleague, DG, recently wrote an article about the comparisons between the Templar vs Ironman. I found the article incredibly hilarious and entertaining so I decided to put it here :)______________________________________________

There’s been a lot of talk lately concerning Hellgate: London’s Templar and the popular Marvel Comics Superhero Iron Man.


I’d like to come out here and put all this confusion to bed once and for all.
