Iron Man
Oftentimes, comic books borrow from real life to fuel their stories. However, it’s normally less obvious than this case. Tony Stark is very clearly based on Howard Hughes. The connection makes more sense when you think about the fact that Iron Man was debuted in 1963 – when Hughes was still years away from his unfortunate end. At the time, he was the eccentric, outspoken, billionaire who invented all kinds of technologies in a variety of fields. It wouldn’t have surprised anyone if the man would show up to a press conference wearing a flying suit of armor.

Alice In Wonderland
Alice from the famous book, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland was based on a real-life person, Alice Liddell. At the age of 10, Alice met Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, the author of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (he had written the book under the pen name, Lewis Carroll). The author became close to the Liddell family, especially Alice. He’d written the original story for her. However, the author suddenly cut ties with the family a year later.
