[1] Ironwolf was created by Howard Chaykin,[2] with Dennis O'Neil and Walt Simonson serving as writer and letterer for his stories.
Ironwolf was influenced by the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Robin Hood, and the 1948 film The Three Musketeers.
On his homeworld of Illium, he owns millions of trees with "anti-gravity wood" that is used to make starships.
He renounces his position in opposition to Empress Erika Klein-Hernandez's cruelty and rebels against her, fearing that her alien allies will build a fleet to attack the Empire.
The Weird Worlds stories were reprinted in an Ironwolf one-shot in March 1987.
