Tony Stark: The Invincible Iron Man 2024!

[Digifiend]

He's no longer wearing the grey armour in Avengers. The next issue is a Fall of X tie-in and he's wearing the mysterium suit. He'll probably have that in Avengers now until his solo updates his armour again.

[Huntsman Spider]

Well, after reading the latest issue Tony put up a heck of a fight. I did have an issue with his strategy though.
spoilers:

Why would he only have the Sentinel Buster armor when he knew that he would be facing so many sentinels. And why didn't he come up with some way to take those sentinels off line. Tony's a genius so he should have come up with some way of doing that. Honestly, it was more of a brawl than Tony using his genius. The mysterium armor was hyped but how much better was it than the green and gray armor he's currently wearing in Avengers.

To be somewhat fair, spoilers:

the Mark Nil is primarily his latest Stealth Armor, not so much meant for combat, much less intense and prolonged combat.

Fall of the House of X?

Yeah but he really didn't do much while in the Mysterium armor. It wasn't like he invented some new tech, he just made armor out of new material. He didn't do much fighting while in the Mysterium armor. There really wasn't much advanced tech in the Sentinel Buster either. But, I guess it was like like he said it was, a decoy to lure all the Sentinels to Australia while the X-Men were taking the fight to Orchis. He should have brought Riri with him.

Good to see Tony’s sentinel buster armor working. Not sure about the look of his new armor, but I’m digging the functionality of it. Miss Frigeri on the art. The new art’s not bad it’s just not Frigeri. Really looking forward to the next issue of Avengers were Stark seems to be leading them in a strike against Orchris. It’s been past due for them and especially Feilong to get what they have coming to them. Tony seems to be very involved in the upcoming Blood Hunt so I will definitely be picking that up.

No, he shouldn't. Riri's armour would've been destroyed. That's the whole point of the Mysterium Armor, any other suit would be destroyed against the Stark Sentinels. Including Ironheart's Mk III Armor. The Mark Nil's purpose was to avoid detection by the Sentinels.

Yes, he should have. Riri has the Ten Rings and they would have been useful in this fight.

Would have been nice, even though she gave them up when some Makluans dropped by while she was in space with Forge and informed her that the Rings were basically the disembodied essences of their fellow Makluans, which they regarded as a desecration of their dead or something like that.

Not any more. She disposed of them a few issues ago (last time she appeared).

Yeah, I know but that really didn't need to happen.

Duggan's writing is just...ugh.

[MichaelC]

The recent writing about the rings in general have been "ugh".

The rings originally were just gadgets the Mandarin created by studying some circuitry from a spaceship, and heavily modifying that circuitry once he understood it. Moreover, he did not even keep the originals that long, replacing some of them with newer rings once the old ones became technologically obsolete, and losing others when they were destroyed in battle. And they weren't all THAT powerful. He needed to combine the rings with his superhuman Iron Fist level martial arts powers, high-tech booby traps, robots, kirby machines, mundane armies, vast wealth, etc to be a major threat. The Mandarin was not the Juggernaut, nor a Herald of Galactus.

The Mandarin was a martial artist and gadgeteer with tremendous organizational resources.

All of his powering up and weird retcons with rings is just nauseating, changing him into one of those far less interesting characters like Terrax who are just straight-forwardly cosmic. I hate it. It needs to be dropped into the garbage even faster than the adoption thing.

Pretty anti-climactic.

We got some good gameplay of how Iron Man will play in Marvel Rivals.
