i'm talking "really casual nerd" general public territory and using myself (someone who's never read an issue of a marvel comic front to back) as a proxy, circa around 2000 - just before the x-men and spider-man movies, but long after batman and superman movies had become an institution. iron man was about the very periphery of my awareness at that point, while proximity to spider-man/batman/superman generally meant more recognition to me.
yet all azuarc of all sorts are more or less capricious and unreliable - they live in the varying outer weather, and they inhale its fickleness
