COMICS: Tony Stark Going Dark For SUPERIOR IRON MAN Is A Bit Extremis

Beginning in November, Superior Iron Man will take the place of Marvel's Iron Man comic book for an indefinite run, with Stark relocating to the City by the Bay. The storyline has Stark releasing a mobile app — a version of his Extremis tech that was largely the basis of the film Iron Man 2 — which offers users the promise of beauty, perfection ... and possibly immortality. Those things will, of course, come at a terrible price — and throw Stark's status as one of the good guys into question. In fact, Stark's mad-genius move will pit him against Daredevil, also a recent transplant to San Francisco, as the "Man Without Fear" won't take kindly to Stark's vision.

Marvel's new comic, Superior Iron Man, will debut this November. It will be written by Tom Taylor and illustrated by Yildray Cinar. New details regarding this new series were provided to Mashable by Marvel editor-in-chief Axel Alonso.

"Yes, this is Tony," Alonso said. "What you're seeing in Superior Iron Man is a Tony Stark who’s seen both his worst and best impulses all let loose. It is Tony, but he’s going to be in a zone now where he’s never been. He's more ambitious, cunning, egotistical ... all of those quantities are unharnessed. He has a vision for the world. I like to think his position is defensible — controversial, but defensible."

Looks like Marvel is preparing for Avengers 2.

too much change in a short period of time might backfire

Marvel still has some nice books. At least it ain't a 90s rehash like New 52

I'm all for change but Marvel Comics just reeks of desperation right now. Just don't change Daredevil or Hawkeye.

What is with the Superior line of comics turning heroes into assholes? First Doc Ock became Peter Parker, now Tony Stark is going to become a more evil version of himself?

They really don't make comics like they used to. What Iron Man fan would want this? The story sounds very out of character for Tony Stark.

Apparently people like that kind of thing. During the Civil War comics, Stark was being evil and an asshole and acting out character, but then I read tons of posts where people comment on how much they like Civil War. Maybe Marvel saw that as justification for making these changes.

There are essentially turning Tony Stark into Aldrich Killian from IM3...

This guy...



Really? He was one of the worse parts of IM3.

None of this appeals to me. If you want to make a change that is actually cool, take Tony Stark back to his plain old iron suit days. Extremis is stupid. Iron Man is cool because he's a dude in an armored suit, everything else is just weird and not cool.

@NitPicker The Civil War story arc is much different from this. A lot of the characters were acting out of sorts, because the conflict wasn't black and white, it was a gray area that caused heroes to be divided into two opposing sides.

It seems like the writers at Marvel thought it would be a good idea to take inspiration from IM3 with this series. Personally, I didn't care for IM3. IM2 is better than IM3. At least in my opinion.

Has anybody else seen that "What if Age of Ultron" has been teasing pretty all those changes? Another person takes the mantle of Captain America, a worthy woman Thor, a "different" Iron man... I'm curious what's next

He made an evil cyborg clone of Thor.

He sent The Thunderbolts after Spider-Man. AFTER he convinced him to reveal his secret identity on national TV.

He set up a prison in the Negative Zone for heroes who wouldn't comply.

He was written way out of character even for that kind of story, and people liked it.

I'm all for changes, hell yes, bring it on! I grew up during the explosion that was "What If?" comics, so I'm comfortable seeing new stuff. But what I hate is when they change it for no reason and do something stupid with it. Which Marvel has a track record of... A Mexican/Black homosexual adolescent Spider-Man, Doc Ock taking over Spidey, taking away Wolverine's healing factor, etc.

Hurry up and make this whole Marvel NOW! shit redundant and non-canon.

@NitPicker Seeing all those examples listed together, you make a good point. I like my heroes to actually act like heroes. I hated the Superior Spider-Man. I know I'm going to hate this too.

@FrankBerzerk Well, that's good you're interested in picking this up. Personally, I'm going to pass.

"I like my heroes to actually act like heroes."

Me too. I really think it would be better in the long run for if they just made some new characters instead of making these types of radical changes to existing characters.

It's so sad when even the New 52 books look better than Marvel's now.
