If you were mad about Tony Stark being ditched in preference of a 15 year old girl, then this is likely to ruin you weekend; after being healed following the events of Secret Wars, a rehabilitated Victor Von Doom has become a staple of Invincible Iron Man, and he's now going to suit up as the Infamous Iron Man. Written by Brian Michael Bendis with artwork by Alex Maleev, the series launches this Fall.
Not much is known beyond that right now, though the synopsis teases: "There is a new Iron Man in town and his name is VICTOR VON DOOM. The greatest villain of the Marvel Universe will try something new. Where Tony Stark failed, Doom will succeed. What is Doom's Master Plan?" How did Tony fail and do these replacements mean he's either dead or imprisoned at the end of Civil War II?
This announcement is sure to generate some controversy, but making Doctor Doom the new Iron Man is certainly an interesting concept. Still, it's hard not to miss the old days of Marvel when Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor were fighting alongside each other as The Avengers. To many fans, the Marvel Universe is now unrecognisable. Regardless, let us know your thoughts in the usual place.
