New Iron Man will be a Black Woman

[Gold]

I know they aren't removing Stark from the universe but is he retiring? They did say "replace". And I thought she made her own similiar suit. Maybe they're using this to catapult her into her own suit/name.

yeah you're right, she reverse engineered one of his it seems

Marvel is clearly shaking things up alot now with diversity.


its jarring and refreshing.

One the right side


Miss america, latin
Spiderman black/latin
Ironman black girl
Ms marvel (kamala Khan) Pakistani
Prowler black guy
Moon girl Black girl
Mosiac black dude


This is something black people should actually support. Even if you think its a cash grab....

I actually dont fukk with this, i dont want white characters turned black i want actual black characters


Might as well make her lesbian/trans and cover all the bases

I actually agree with this.

Blue Marvel would be the best recent example, a completely new character, new powers (yes it's the basic superman package plus energy manipulation), a story unrelated to any other character. A new character >>>>>> Replacements added in for the sake of "diversity".

Especially since the writers and creators will be white. If she is gay and her love interest is white, you can't tell me this isn't pandering.

On the other hand it could end up like Miles Morales and be a huge success. At least she is a genius though, good to see intelligent black characters.



Edit: Her suit looks Basura. Hope a redesign happens stat.

Hopefully this also mean Mary Jane gonna get her ass away from Stark...



Pete get cha girl man...

 

[Still Benefited]

Instead of suits,why won't Tony give out reperations?that's the movie I wanna see marvel

 

[Fatboi1]

Man I'd wish EVERY fukking superhero was changed to black.

fukk y'all mad ass White supremacists.

Black Spiderman, Black Hulk, Black everything. fukk that. Hell, they should take it one step further and make some of them Dominicans with Spanish accents.

A black chick as Tony Stark? Hell yes!!!

 

[Turk]

This is a dumb idea. Marvel doing things for diversities sake again

 

[Citi Trends]

sounds cool but knowing cacs, just like they make black male characters gay they probably gonna make her "a strong woman" and talk about how she doesnt need a man

 

[Nymbus]

A black chick as Tony Stark? Hell yes!!!

Nah Tony Stark is Tony stark

 

[BlackBall]

People feeling empowered by Disney owned comic book characters

 

[:-)]

Nah Tony Stark is Tony stark

True but the idea of a chick being Iron Man is pretty cool to me. It just might be exciting! ^.^

Marvel has been doing more of this lately with the diversity thing. I rather they create new heroes/identities and give them their own fanbase and legacy than try to change their flagship heroes. I wonder if it's (lack of) creativity or financial concerns.

I remember when they actually made black superheroes



(ok yeah i know DC has the rights but still)

Not a fan of changing IM Thor Cap Hulk Spider and all the old school characters to different people.

The diversity thing is extra irritating. Just push some black Asian female characters. Make these new jacks sidekicks or something.

As a comic fan.

Everyone you named (except Hulk) is not an inherent character, its a costume & title.

There were at least 5 Captain Americas, 5 Spidermen, and like 20 Thors before the current black versions.
In the case of Captain America, this isn't even the first black Captain America. Isaih Bradley is. And Rhodey has used IronMan's armor before on many an occasion. (It has its own protocol set just in case he winds up in it)... So Marvel is just doing a better marketing job advertising its diversity now so it seems more in your face, but they've been doing legacy characters since the 40s. Legacy characters go back so far that most don't realize that the 1st Human Torch isn't even a member of the fantastic four. He predates the fantastic four's debut issue by 20 years. There has been more than one Ghost Rider, etc. The list goes on.

Legacy is just a part of comics.

I think adding a new identity to the legacy is fine.. as with Ben Riley or Miguel (the black/puertoriquan spidey) cause Peter Parker still exists unaltered.
On the other hand, when they change a base character like making white Nick Fury into Samuel Jackson... thats where it gets weird.

I actually think it's really cool.

And it's just in the comics, you made it seem like they were gonna do change iron man in the live action movies.
