In a whole unexpected twist , a major X - Men baddie just debuted their own Iron Man armour - which they ’ll practice to pop Professor Xavier .
Red Skull Gets His Own Iron Man Armor
Johann Schmidt Raised Tony Stark’s Son
Where Ultron or Thanos can vary in substance from author to writer , Red Skull represents a very specific case of dark future tense - one in which Captain America ’s nonsuch have failed , and renascent dogmatism , fascism , and authoritarianism have once again reared their head .
It ’s in this world that Captain America has scramble to mould a new Avengers squad , only late identify that Tony Stark is being kept animated on the Raft . Rescuing his former booster and set up a ragtag team , Steve Rogers has happen upon the the true of the false Avengers , and now knows the full extent of Red Skull ’s growing control over America . However , Johann Schmidt is an egotist to the core , and he wo n’t be done until he ’s rehabilitate his image and been embraced by the public as a hero . Red Skull intelligibly trust his new armour will help with that , but bring out his identity could be the way thatCaptain America wins back public trust .
Many baddie ( including alternate edition of himself ) have get into Iron Man ’s armor , & the twist they add are awesome . Here are the 17 coolest ones !
Red Skull Always Finds a Way to Return
Why Marvel’s Future Keeps Bringing Back the WWII Villain
It ’s notable that Red Skull is the villain loaf behind the scenes ofAvengers : Twilight , peculiarly given he ’s hold a similar role before . Old Man Loganalso saw Red Skull seize control of America ( after go an revolt of all Earth ’s supervillains ) , whileCaptain America : The Endimagines a future where Red Skull is a viral cognisance that can go through from somebody to person like a zombie pestilence . Even when Red Skull loses , he still tend to perplex around , famously being ensnare on Vormir in the MCU - a dark fate , but still one where he ’s likely to survive the Avengers .
This riding habit of fall is especially surprising when considering that Red Skull was first active in World War II and has been killed legion times , converted first in a clone body of Steve Rogers , then in a robotic husk , and by and by resurrected by thepowerful immortal mutant Selene . While mirthful villain often find oneself a mode to return to life , it ’s often by retconning their demise out of canon with some explanation about a last - minute escape . Red Skull appears to have a particular habit of unfeignedly die but still returning , and of being the scoundrel most likely to outlive the Avengers in Marvel ’s far time to come .
Magneto should have been capable to take Iron Man down with ease , but when the two fought , Tony Stark throw the go - humans a fresh Master of Magnetism .
This is probable because , unlike many other villains , Red Skull has a specific , prevail meaning as a symbolisation of fascism in the main and Nazi ideology in particular . Where Ultron or Thanos can vary in significance from writer to writer , Red Skull typify a very specific type of dark hereafter - one in which Captain America ’s ideals have break , and resurgent bigotry , fascism , and dictatorship have once again reared their head . In the real world , this is an eventuality that democracies must continuously guard against , giving Red Skull ’s specter - same haunting of the Avengers a very specific substance . It makes sense that in the world ofAvengers : Twilight- where a passive world live with their authoritarian politics ’s overreach because they ’re prosperous - the idea that Red Skull stand for would be in revival , and so the villain is too .
Despite James Stark ’s accusation , it ’s now clear that Captain America is n’t fighting the future - he ’s fighting the very worst of the past as it attempts to corrupt a new multiplication .
Red Skull’s New Armor Transforms the Meaning of Captain America’s Return
Steve Rogers Isn’t Actually Fighting the Next Generation
However , the full reveal of Red Skull ’s program also changes the substance ofAvengers : Twilight . Up until now , there was the uncomfortable sense that Captain America was at least partly in the wrong - he was push against a team of new Avengers base basically on rumors , and enacting his own will on a populace who had rejected him both as their hero and when he persist for role . James Stark thrust the accusation at him several times that he was an one-time man fighting against the future because he did n’t experience at home in it , and it seemed like there might be some degree of truth to that accusation .
However , with the reveal thatthe newfangled Avengers are hologramsand Red Skull has been organise events to redeem his own repute , it ’s vindicated that Captain America is n’t fighting the future - he ’s agitate a monster very much of his own time and position . The reveal of Red Skull as the serial publication ' principal scoundrel ( thoughUltron is also implied to be schemingbehind the picture ) refutes James ' accusation that Captain America is simply a homo out of meter , and instead stead Steve Rogers as continuing the competitiveness against his oldest and most severe bane - saving the future from the worst of the past tense , rather than trying to impose his own worldview on a culture that has passed him by .
Of naturally , this being superhero comics , these idea of rewriting story and the specter of fascism over modern democracy still need to be express with a blowout clenched fist competitiveness , and Red Skull ’s new Iron Man armor make him a meaning scourge , especially against a Captain America whose respectable days are behind him . MCU fans have never seen Red Skull like this before , but even in a earth that has forgotten what the Avengers stand for , Captain Americahas yet to meet a variation of Johann Schmidt he ca n’t take down -Iron Manarmor or not .
