The comic book/movie is about a super hero. The song is about a man who travels time to see the future of mankind in order to save the world. But on the way back, he was turned to steel in a magnetic field (don't know how). Everyone thought he was a freak then, so for revenge, Iron Man killed everyone.

The comic-book character "Iron Man" first appeared in 1963 - The Black Sabbath song "Iron Man" was released in 1972 - so the character's name could not have come from the song. The song title could have been inspired by the comic-book character's name - even though the subject matter of the song does not follow the comic-book character's story.

Another possible source of inspiration for the song is the children's book 'The Iron Man'. This novel came out in 1968 and was written by Ted Hughes. Newer editions of the book are titled 'The Iron Giant'. In the book an iron mechanoid comes to Earth, reeks some havoc and eventually battles a space-dragon.

'Iron Man' was written by every member of Black Sabbath when they recorded the album 'Paranoid'. Iron Man is originally a Black Sabbath song, and not a product of Ozzy Osbourne's solo career.

Lyrics wer written by Geezer Butler

The riff by Tony Iommi

From Wikipedia...

The title of the song was conceived by Ozzy Osbourne. Geezer Butler took to writing the lyrics around the title. The song was originally entitled "Iron Bloke". Upon hearing the main guitar riff for the first time, Osbourne remarked that it sounded "like a big iron bloke walking about". The title was later changed to "Iron Man".

Despite the song's title, it bears no connection to the Marvel super hero character Iron Man (though it has become associated with the character due to this misconception and, ironically, was used in the 2008 film Iron Man based on the Marvel character). Butler wrote the lyrics as the story of a vengeful villain. The lyrics tell the story of a man who time travels into the future of the world, and sees the apocalypse. In the process of returning to the present, he is turned into steel by a magnetic field. He is rendered mute, unable verbally to warn people of his time of the impending destruction. His attempts to communicate are ignored and mocked. This causes Iron Man to become angry, and have his revenge on mankind, causing the destruction seen in his vision.

It was not. The son was written in 1970, long before there were any plans for an Iron Man movie.
