In January of 2020, Marvel released the title Iron Man 2020 (Event), which stars Tonys brother Arno Stark. Tony would later return to being Iron Man and reestablishing another company, again. Another title, Infamous Iron Man, sees Doctor Doom also putting on the Iron Man armor. A second title, International Iron Man, had Tony running into an old girlfriend who is now a crime boss who wants to kill him, all while he was trying to find out who his biological parents were.įollowing the event Civil War II, Tony put away his suit in order for a new hero to take over-15-year old Riri Williams, an African-American girl who built her own suit of armor in her dorm room at MIT. This brings us to Secret Wars (2015), which sees the " Armor Wars" story revisited - set in the Technopolis domain - depicting a reality in which wearing an armored suit became mandatory for all citizens.Īfter Secret Wars, Tony returned for a second Invincible Iron Man volume (written by Brian Michael Bendis), with a brand new suit of armor (of course), with Mary Jane Watson taking over Pepper Potts' job, Tony constantly running into Doctor Doom (who looks perfectly normal now), and having a gang of cyber ninjas after him. He also served as a prominent figure in The Avengers (Jonathan Hickman), serving simultaneously as a member of the Avengers and Illuminati to save the world from colliding into another universe - and failed. Tony returned back to Earth just in time to have his morality inverted during AXIS, setting up the nine-issue maxi series Superior Iron Man which took him to San Francisco in a silver Symbiote suit, acting all kinds of jerk-ish. X-Men, Brian Michael Bendis confirmed that Iron Man would join the Guardians of the Galaxy in the Marvel NOW! series in early 2013. And the best part? His new company wouldn't be financed by manufacture of a single weapon. He was offering for investors to get in on the ground floor or be flattened by him in five to ten years. His vehicle to make this happen? Using technology provided by Danny Rand combined with his own repulsor technology to form one of the most astounding sources of clean energy ever seen. The last few issues were handed to Iron Man's ally War Machine.Īs of the dawn of the Heroic Age, Stark was rebuilding his financial empire from scratch. Until the end of Secret Invasion, there was a second title, Iron Man: Director of S.H.I.E.L.D - a politics and espionage-based book, dealing with Stark's role as head of the international security organization. Stark's support of Superhero Registration would ultimately come back to bite him in the ass in Secret Invasion. Although Stark championed Registration with good intentions (he insists it was to protect his fellow heroes from possibly being eradicated by the government following a superhero/villain related tragedy that resulted in countless civilian deaths), he did a number of questionable and downright unpleasant things to get it in place (see below). Iron Man, during the controversial Civil War story-line, chose to champion the Superhero Registration Act, which put him at odds with his long time friend and ally Captain America/Steve Rogers and resulted in a war between Stark's pro-registration heroes and Cap's anti-registration heroes. In 2012, Fraction and Salvador Larocca's five year run ended so that Volume 4 could launch as part of "Marvel NOW", with Kieron Gillen and Greg Land switching from Uncanny X-Men. The writer Matt Fraction modelled the plot after the movies to some extent to make it a feasible jumping on point for new fans. In recent years, Iron Man has featured in Invincible Iron Man - a rather character-driven title that deals with the troubles of Tony Stark, as well as the politics of Iron Man. Notable classic storylines include "Demon in a Bottle", which deals with his alcoholism, and " Armor Wars", where he goes on a vendetta after his technology is stolen and reproduced. He has served as the protagonist of several series since that time. The character first appeared in Tales of Suspense #39 (March 1963), created by writers Stan Lee, and Larry Lieber, along with artists Don Heck and Jack Kirby. Instead, he secretly designed and built a suit of armor in a cave, with a box of scraps to keep his heart beating and to escape from his captors, and in the process became the superhero known as Iron Man. Captured by the enemy forces, he is forced into manufacturing weaponry to aid them. Tony Stark was a Millionaire Playboy and industrialist until a battlefield explosion left him with a damaged heart that threatened to kill him. Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist.
