Robert Iger is a competent manager of assets to say the least. He has been the president and CEO of the Walt Disney company and as the sixth man in that position in the company’s 83-year history, he oversaw all aspects of the company's worldwide expansion and its commercial operations including the filmed entertainment division, their theme parks and resorts, the media networks owned by Disney and the consumer products portion of the company’s overall business. Under his leadership the company has clearly prospered and that is an undeniable fact for all neutral observers, thus in order to judge Mr. Iger’s business decisions only the future results will tell the whole story of this specific deal.

Robert Iger is a very smart and savvy businessman. He was named president of Disney in 2000, and later succeeded Michael Eisner as chief executive in 2005, after a successful effort by Roy E. Disney to shake-up the management of the company. He was responsible for the acquisition of Pixar in 2006, which was one of the first brilliant moves he made at the helm of Disney.

Buying Marvel comics in 2009 was another brilliant move. Not only did he get it at a low price due to the change in the stock position but also since the recession was upon us, he had little competition to worry about. It not only made financial sense but it buys a whole host of new characters for Disney to develop in their animated movies and exploit in their theme parks and merchandise.

In my personal opinion, I believe that Robert Iger was a genius when he bought Marvel during the recession. In addition, he will reap the rewards from the purchase by filming some beloved characters that adults and children love.

Mr. Iger will be able to bring characters like Spiderman, Superman, X-Men, and the Incredible Hulk back to life for a whole new generation. In addition, he could introduce new characters to movie watchers, who weren’t very popular to the previous comic book readers.

The Marvel family will be working with ABC television networks, in order to bring new television series to the public. These shows may become hits or they may be cancelled, but either way he is living his dream. He is also the president of Walt Disney Corp., which means he can unite the two companies and allow Disney fans to enjoy our favorite Marvel super heroes.
