Marvel Fans Are Celebrating Tony Stark on National Cheeseburger Day

Wednesday is National Cheeseburger Day, a semi-official holiday to celebrate one of America's favorite fast foods. For some Marvel fans, it's safe to say that the holiday has taken on a whole other meaning, thanks to the cheeseburger's connection to Robert Downey Jr.'s portrayal of Tony Stark/Iron Man. In the first Iron Man movie, Tony remarked that a cheeseburger was one of two things he wanted after escaping captivity. This was given a pretty heartbreaking callback in this year's Avengers: Endgame, when Tony's daughter Morgan (Lexi Rabe) told Happy Hogan (Jon Favreau) that she wanted a cheeseburger following her dad's funeral.

Given Tony's penchant for cheeseburgers, some have used the holiday and its accompanying hashtag to pay tribute to the fallen superhero, in ways that have ranged from amusing to heartwrenching. Here are a few of our favorites.
