admonition ! This clause incorporate spoiler for Captain Marvel : Dark Tempest # 3Iron Manisn’t just one of the most popular Marvel Comics characters in late memory , he ’s also one of the most important to the extensive Marvel mythos . And now , that level of signification has just been increase , as his new title exposesIron Man ’s veridical importance to Marvel lore .

Tony Stark became Iron Man out of necessity , as it was either build an iron suit to both keep himself alive and escape from his incarceration , or break down . However , remaining Iron Man was a pick , one that redefine the entire landscape of the Marvel Universe . Iron Man was a found member of the Avengers , he was a director of SHIELD , and he even help write a new chapter in Marvel Comics canyon by effectively starting thefirst superhuman Civil War . Iron Man shapes the world around him with every draw storyline and universe - wide event , both in - canon and in real life . And , according to Captain Marvel , Iron Man ’s just done so again , as he ’s just been named ‘ the original transhuman ’ .

Iron Man Is A Critical Step In Human Evolution In Marvel Lore

In a preview forCaptain Marvel : Dark Tempest#3 by Ann Nocenti and Paolo Villanelli , Carol Danvers finds herself trapped within a pocket dimension , in which she encounters some kind of unidentifiable life form that seems to be a human / automobile hybrid . When Captain Marvel begins to question that hypothesis , she notes that she has a friend who ’s a commixture of man and motorcar : Iron Man . Then , upon thinking about it further , Captain Marvel outwardly verify that Iron Man is the first ‘ transhuman ' , essentially calling him Marvel ’s first cyborg and the bedrock on which the evolutionary structure that led to this fictitious character ’s beingness was build up .

In term of Marvel ’s in - canon account , it ’s disputable that Iron Man was the first ‘ transhuman ’ in being . However , what ’s inarguable is the fact that he was the first ‘ transhuman ’ in Marvel Comics ’ real - domain history . This is improbably interesting , as it posits Iron Man as a key whole tone in human evolution , even arguably as a harbinger to the likes of Vision ’s true AI , or even the Children of the Vault ’s artificially manipulated hyper - evolution . Tony Stark originally merged his flesh with mechanics to keep himself awake , and then continued to desegregate more and more aspects of ‘ Iron Man ’ into his human anatomy . He ’s not to the full merged with mechanics the way DC ’s Cyborg is , but Iron Man is definitely the first step in that evolutionary counseling in Marvel canyon , make his new title incredibly fitting .

This new title brands Tony Stark as a step on the ‘ organic evolution of man ’ diagram for the Marvel Universe , which is something that ’s infinitely more crucial to the wider mythos than only being a superhero , which is whyIron Man ’s unexampled title exhibit his literal importance to Marvel lore .
