Strong Man
Badass, Iron Man, Macho Man, Tough Guy
noun
A man made of iron is a strong man... aka a huge badass. Have you seen "Iron Chef?" The Japanese translation is 料理の鉄人, which means "Chef Iron Man" aka "Chef Badass," at least in my book.
This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji. Since 人 has two on'yomi readings, here's a mnemonic to help you remember which one to use:
