Invincible Iron Man #516 *Spoilers*

[Nitz the Bloody]

at the risk of sounding cold-blooded...there are now (at least) 2 vacated positions at Stark Resilient. mighy i selfishly suggest Scott Lang for re-employment? man needs to eat. he's a skilled engineer. and he and Tony have history; they've saved each others lives and shared incredible risks. plus there's the issue of Fraction possibly writing him in two books. R.I.P Tim.

I'm not sure Scott cares about employment, Tony Stark, or anything else right now but the recent death of his daughter...

But I think, as an Iron Man book, it would be counter productive to bring in an established character?

like Pepper Potts, Henry Hellrung, or Rhodey?

He wouldn't be used as much,

he's not being used at all, at the moment. and this would be in addition to him possibly being part of the Defenders book. there's absolutely no risk in it.

and it may take focus away from Iron Man, or reduce Scott Lang even further. Where Black Widow makes a great supporting character for Winter Soldier, I'm not sure Scott Lang would work as a supporting character for Iron Man.

he started out as a supporting character for Iron Man. he's never had his own title. i'm just talking about him filling the hole left by Tim Cababa. Tim appeared a number of times. i wouldn't expect Scott to appear more or less than that. but being a part of the book would be going back to his roots. plus it would keep him in circulation for the movie.

Like a shark, soon as the bloods in the water!

But, seriously, that actually seems pretty likely. He seems to like tying his books together, like how Thor and Iron Man are connected with FI and the building of Asgardia. I could see him tying Defenders to IIM using Lang. Plus, as you said, it makes sense from a narrative point of view, since he has the skills and history.

How would you feel if he ended up being the new Iron Man?

have you read something that i haven't? he was present at the end of Children's Crusade. he was sad but smiling. it's not like he ran off to drink himself to death. he didn't go after Doctor Doom like Frank Castle. he was proud of Cassie. and i'm sure he was proud that she went out fighting. and, like i said, the man has to eat. you don't think he'd seek out the familiarity of old friends?

that would be completely out of left field

that would be weird. but i'll take any Scott Lang i can get. they've robofied Eric O'Grady so i'm not holding out much hope for my other favorite Ant-Man. i think it'd be cool to have several characters masquerade as Iron man as part of a mind**** to Mandarin's forces. Rhodey, Pepper, Henry, and Scott could all get in on the act.

Fair enough. I think I've been doing so many uni essays, me writing b.s has become second nature.

having to write essays makes me break out in hives. the only thing i miss about college was the cafeteria.

10 Iron Men to match the 10 rings of the Mandarin?

[A-Man]

Pim ripping off his face to reveal himself as Spymaster was great
so Pim had a mask under a mask the whole time lol

His head must've been huge! :)

Pimacher's head was huge; a real five-head. i noted it after his first appearance.
