Warning! Spoilers Iron Man #16 by Marvel Comics
In an upcoming Marvel Comics series, Iron Man will officially be transformed into a god and return to Earth with his newfound powers. In a brand-new preview for Iron Man #16, Tony Stark arrives on his home planet after a near-fatal encounter with Korvac. However, he's back with a considerable power upgrade after obtaining the Power Cosmic. Iron Man will adjust as a superpowered hero while trying not to succumb to his ego after becoming an Iron God.
Iron Man's quest to stop Korvac has been building since the very start of his newest ongoing series. In the current Iron Man series from Marvel Comics, Tony Stark ended up on Galactus Worldship, Taa II, after the Living Tribunal saved him from being stuck far away from home on the opposite side of the galaxy in order to complete his mission. In an effort to stop Korvac from stealing the Power Cosmic, Iron Man's team faced off against the villain's forces. However, Korvac obtained the Power Cosmic, which forced Iron Man to reach into the cosmic energy himself and receive his most significant power upgrade ever. Previous previews have teased Stark becoming the Iron God and throwing literal planets at Korvac - but after the battle with the villain is over, Cosmic Iron Man will return to Earth.
In a brand new preview for Iron Man #16 by Christopher Cantwell and Ibraim Roberson, the Iron God returns to Earth and hopes to use his powers to make his planet a better place. However, the solicit suggests that the Power Cosmic might hugely enable Stark's ego despite his best intentions. Furthermore, it will lead his closest allies - including the Avengers and the Fantastic Four - to determine whether the new Iron God is a friend or a foe. Check out the Alex Ross cover for Iron Man #16, followed by the full synopsis for the issue below.
IRON MAN'S COSMIC TRANSFORMATION CONTINUES!
The Iron God arrives back on Earth, intent on making his homeworld a better place for all. Finally, Tony Stark has the power to realize all of his best ideas and intentions…but perhaps the Power Cosmic might enable his ego in ways never seen before. It's up to his mortal allies to decide: Is the Iron God a fantastic evolution of their old friend or a grave threat? GUEST-STARRING THE AVENGERS AND THE FANTASTIC FOUR!
It's going to be fascinating to see how obtaining the Power Cosmic - one of the single most extraordinary powers in the known Marvel Universe - will change Iron Man. Will Tony Stark be corrupted by having the same power wielded by Galactus or Silver Surfer? Or, will he be able to overcome his ego and use his newfound godhood to make the world a better place? Readers will find out more when Iron Man's Iron God touches down on Earth in Iron Man #16. The issue arrives in comic book shops in January.
