If the Iron Man can withstand the heat of burning petroleum for longer than the space being can withstand the heat of the Sun, the creature must obey the Iron Man's commands forevermore; if the Iron Man melts or is afraid of melting before the space being undergoes or fears pain in the Sun, the creature has permission to devour the whole Earth . </P> <P> After playing the game two rounds, the dragon is so badly burned that he no longer appears physically frightening . The Iron Man by contrast has only a deformed ear - lobe to show for his pains .

In his own life, he was a singer of the "music of the spheres"; the harmony of his kind that keeps the cosmos in balance in stable equilibrium . </P> <P> The Iron Man orders the Star Spirit to sing to the inhabitants of Earth, flying just behind the sunset, to help soothe humanity toward a sense of peace . The beauty of his music distracts the population from its egocentrism and tendency to fight, causing the first worldwide lasting peace . </P>
