Ah, so apparently Fire was also known as Green Fury... Didn't know that.

Is Danny Pudi using eyeliner?

Totally off-topic, but I've been watching the second season of Better Off Ted on Netflix and if Feige and RDJ do retire Tony Stark out of the MCU, I'm thinking it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if they did some version of an Arno Stark storyline. (None of the dumb alien DNA/adopted kid stuff, but just as a secret younger brother kind of thing.)

And if they did that, Jay Harrington would be an awesome Arno Stark.



I'm thinking it breaks down like this: the original Howard Stark (played by Dominic Cooper) retreated from public life either because he went nuts or was worried about some threat to him and his family. SHIELD stepped in, providing a body double / bodyguard (played by John Slattery) that, by the time Tony was old enough to have any memory of his father, Cooper had either died or bailed, and Slattery (at Maria Stark's insistence) raised him as his own.

So then, in some future movie, it's revealed that Howard (Cooper) had a second son before his death: Arno. And he inherits the mantle of Iron Man (coincidentally just in time for 2020, since that was the comic timeline that Arno came from).

I'm not sure I'd want him front-and-center the way RDJ is, but he'd be a damn good second-stringer for Avengers films and neatly sidesteps the question of recasting (PLEASE NO), rebooting (not anytime soon), or just leaving one of the most reliable box office properties in 21st century cinema (namely Iron Man) vacant, which Disney executives will not want to do.

Just a thought.

This just makes me upset that nearly 10 years ago The Middleman was cancelled too soon

Oh nuts--not only did they bring in Fire, they brought in her Global Guardians teammate the Olympian!
