Dear nerd fraternity or to be more specific, nerds who experience OCD bouts. Your are going to pout at this one!

Marvel Comics is relaunching Invincible Iron Man or to be more specific replacing Tony Stark.

Marvel has revealed that it is relaunching Invincible Iron Man as part of the newest Marvel NOW! initiative, which will cast Tony Stark out of his familiar role as the Armored Avenger.

In his place will be Riri Williams, a recently introduced black 15-year-old girl and MIT student whom fans assumed would become the new War Machine, for reasons that should be apparent to anyone reading Civil War II.

Instead she is going to be in the much envied limelight.

According to Brian Michael Bendis says that Riri could turn out even smarter than Stark. Apparently, she did this reverse engineering feat of the Iron Man armor to construct one for herself.

Anyway the good news is that, Marvel Comics has came out breaking the shackles of white ego by introducing Riri and people are pretty happy about that.

 

Bendis, however, assures his audience that this change is not going to spoil the ending Civil War II.

Invincible Iron Man #1 will be released later this year, with Bendis as writer and Stefano Caselli as the new artist.
