Iron Man (1990’s)

Posted on by EHT Comics

Faking his death, Stark places himself in suspended animation to heal as Rhodes takes over both the running of Stark Enterprises and the mantle of Iron Man, although he uses the War Machine armor. Stark makes a full recovery by using a chip to reprogram himself and resumes the Iron Man identity. When Rhodes learns that Stark has manipulated his friends by faking his own death, he becomes enraged and the two friends part ways, Rhodes continuing as War Machine in a solo career.

The story arc “The Crossing” reveals Iron Man as a traitor among the Avengers’ ranks, due to years of manipulation by the time-traveling dictator Kang the Conqueror. Stark, as a sleeper agent in Kang’s thrall, kills Marilla, the nanny of Crystal and Quicksilver’s daughter Luna, as well as Rita DeMara, the female Yellowjacket, then Amanda Chaney, an ally of the Avengers. The “Avengers Forever” limited series retcons these events as the work of a disguised Immortus, not Kang, and that the mental control had gone back only a few months.[70]

Needing help to defeat both Stark and Kang, the team travels back in time to recruit a teenaged Anthony Stark from an alternate timeline to assist them. The young Stark steals an Iron Man suit in order to aid the Avengers against his older self. The sight of his younger self shocks the older Stark enough for him to regain momentary control of his actions, and he sacrifices his life to stop Kang. The young Stark later builds his own suit to become the new Iron Man, and, remaining in the present day, gains legal control of “his” company.

Posted on by EHT Comics

The story concludes the plotline begun in Venom: Carnage Unleashed with Kirstin’s mother, a skilled assassin, trying to kill Venom and killing the Sin-Eater.[25]

Each issue also contained an installment (or backup story) of the four-part “Tour of Jury Duty”, detailing the initiation of former Vault guard Jennifer Stewart into the Jury as Wysper. She fights (and kills) the second Tarantula, a supervillain who murdered Wysper’s husband during the riot in Venom: Deathtrap-The Vault. The series also features the return of the vigilante, Sentry.

Dark X-Men – The Beginning (2009)

Posted on by EHT Comics

The Dark X-Men made their debut during the crossover between Dark Avengers and Uncanny X-Men written by Matt Fraction, as part of the broader Dark Reign storyline.[1] Each member but Namor has been handpicked by then–H.A.M.M.E.R. director Norman Osborn for his own criminal agenda.

The team was never officially called the “Dark X-Men” (which was the name of the comics series, not the team). Instead, they were simply called the “X-Men” and were a government-sponsored team trying to take advantage of the name recognition of Charles Xavier’s X-Men, to which they had no official connection (much like Osborn’s Avengers team was pretending to be the real Avengers).
