         Ironman however begat Steelman. 

         And lo, from him emerged of colours four:
         Red, Green, Yellow and Blue.

         And the colours were weighed and found wanting
         except one. 

         And ANSI spoketh to Green:
         "Ada shalt be thy name henceforth
         and servest all mankind
         in the large as in the small."
