Tony Stark has nothing left to lose
Early next year, Marvel Comics will officially begin the A world under destruction event. Readers have already seen Doom's influence as the new Sorcerer Supreme in titles like Amazing Spider-Man, Avengers, and Storm; in 2025, It will be Iron Man's turn to face the Sorcerer Supreme himself dressed in iron. Frankly, Tony isn't doing well right now. He's just recovered his company from a hostile takeover and is now facing another, this time stripping him of his suits and his strength. He is physically frail and mentally weakened now, on the verge of disappearing into nothingness, but a new spark of anger has been ignited beneath him.
Tony Stark is tired of being pushed around and tired of being left behind. The day may come when he feels ready to don the Iron Man armor for the last time, but it won't be when his legacy is sold to AIM or Roxxon. This time, he is alone, slowly dismantling the resources of his corporate enemies until they fall to their knees beside him. Now, with Doom becoming a global threat in the guise of his peacemaker, the Sorcerer Supreme will face a newer, angrier version of Iron Man than ever before.

When cornered and with nothing to lose, Tony Stark is reshaping himself and the world. Iron Man with lethal results.
This is a new era for Tony Stark. He is angry and broken, forced to confront his life's consistent mistakes and failures. Despite wanting to move away from the weapons industry, especially after the disastrous creation of the Stark Sentinels, he is embracing what his company is known for when faced with Doctor Doom. The man of science is also embracing a new field of knowledge, admitting that no invention alone can defeat the mystical arts. When cornered with nothing to lose, Tony Stark is changing his brand and the Iron Man with lethal results.
