No, he couldn't, because the rings being that powerful would render his personal abilities and resources superfluous. If the rings are more powerful than anything he could gain by kidnapping scientists and putting them in slave labor camps, or gain by seizing control over corporations, or conquer with mundane military forces, then the rings are too powerful.Originally Posted by Shadowcat

Yes, he could. If they’re just shards of the stones, they don’t have to have the full power of the complete gems, and could tie the Mandarin into the greater MCU, since movie synergy is something Marvel likes to do. Originally Posted by MichaelC

Decided to re-read the first issue, and just jgg’d all over CAFU’s Unicorn again. It’s just beautiful.

LMAO! I'm really lovin CAFU's art myself. This is my first time seeing it and just the way he draws Tony's armor is absolutely stunning. He's got to be up for an award for Iron Man. Originally Posted by Shadowcat

This run should put him on everyone’s radar. He’s evolved so much since his early 2000’s run on Action Comics with Joe Kelly. Originally Posted by Tony Stark

MUA2 was even better to me because they came back together in the end against a greater evil, and regardless of what side the player chose, they worked things out so that superheroes wouldn't be hunting and fighting each other anymore.
