He says it is to keep Tony’s legacy alive, but Rhodey knows something is up. After reviving Hammer Industries, he suddenly introduces the world to a brand new type of armor, something familiar. He would never give away his secret, but he seemed oddly fascinated with entering the weapon’s market. Even with his father’s legacy, many did not expect his sudden rise in popularity and fortune. He is a young entrepreneur, just started his company straight out of college. Now, I believe he will have a new partner that helps him rebuild Hammer Industries, the son of Obediah Stane, Ezekiel.Įzekiel, or Zeke as everyone calls him, is pretty much the MCU’s Mark Zuckerberg. It wouldn’t be a surprise he has already left prison and restart his company as the primary weapon’s dealer, as Stark Tech is still exploring other markets. So, only Hammer remains, who was last seen in the short All Hail The King. Taggart blew up in the last solo film for the character. SHIELD hasn’t been around in the mainline MCU since Captain America: The Winter Soldier. There aren’t many players left to flesh out the original storyline. We met this character in Iron Man 3, who exploded due to an overdose of Extremis at the TCL Chinese Theatre. He also comes into conflict with Jack Taggart, also known as Firepower. Even SHIELD created an armored unit called Mandroid’s, which certainly didn’t leave a great impression on Tony. Iron Man starts a war with many armored villains to ensure no one can use his technology. Justin Hammer, who many might remember from Iron Man 2, enlisted Spymaster to steal his technology and create brand new armor designs. David Michelinie and Bob Layton developed a story about Tony’s technology getting stolen by his worse enemies. The original storyline ran from 1987 to 1988 over seven issues. We have no idea what exactly this story is going to explore. In a way, Armor Wars may carry that message forward to the rest of the world. Peter learned the importance of growing into his own as Spider-Man, taking the lessons he learned from Tony but not letting them define him. Well, Spider-Man: Far From Home kind of kicked off the question if there is a necessity for a new “Iron Man”.

Now, the only question is how exactly they will tackle this iconic story without the hero that defined it. Now, it is up to Rhodey in his War Machine suit to make things right. After Tony’s death during the events of Avengers: Endgame, it seems that his technology was still being shared across the world. Among them, we got the unveiling of an adaptation of Armor Wars. Disney’s Investors Day has unveiled a variety of brand new shows.
