Marvel Just Made a Massive Change to Iron Man (And It Might Just Make Him a Villain)

Marvel's Iron Man Undergoes a Significant Change

Marvel has altered a major aspect of Iron Man, potentially changing the character's trajectory in the Age of Revelation. Iron Man, created by Tony Stark, has been a cornerstone of Marvel Comics since 1962.

He is a founding member of the Avengers and has been central to several classic stories, including "Demon in a Bottle", "Armor Wars", and "Civil War". The character's popularity soared with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, making him a cultural icon.

However, the current Age of Revelation event has introduced a new status quo, set 10 years in the future, where the world is reshaped by Doug Ramsey, aka Revelation, the heir to Apocalypse. This change might redefine Iron Man into a darker character.

Marvel Comics' big Age of Revelation event is well underway, with the event offering a new status quo for X-Men storytelling.

This shift could potentially lead to Iron Man becoming a villain, marking a significant departure from his traditional heroic persona.

Author's summary: Marvel changes Iron Man's character.
