I Am Iron Man 2023 series flashbacks

Post by Leoparis »

The new I Am Iron Man title features different periods to celebrate the sixty years of the character.

I will update this post every month and figure the chronology once the series is complete.

#1
Synopsis: A time-traveling villain attacking Iron Man at two points of his timeline: grey armor and in the present (model 70). Tony uses remote-controlled past models (8, 29 or 64, 50) to evacuate places in NYC.
Grey Armor (model 1): 1:1 + 1:2, pages 2-9
Silver Centurion (model 8): panels 10:2 - 10:4, 13:2, 13:5
Extremis? armor (Model 13 or 20 or 29 or 64): page 11, 13:3, 13:6
White armor (model 50) Superior Iron Man: panels 12:1, 13:4, 13:7
Virtual armor (model 68)
"Spider-Man is still a menace" says J. Jonah Jameson.
Note: Stark moves back to NYC in Iron Man (2020) #1 after putting all his armors in storage.

#2
Classic armor.
Thermo-couple factor mentioned twice.
"If my armor loses enough power, nature stops my heart."
The armor can function in outer atmosphere as well as on the ocean bed.
Recovered on the ocean bed by SHIELD agents.

"Set during Archie Goodwin's classic era" per last issue blurb (from TOS 99, Mar 68 to IM 28, Aug 70)
The heart is cured in IM 19, Nov 1969.
SHIELD follows Iron Man closely when assigning Sitwell to Stark Industries from TOS 93-95, Sept-Nov 1967 to IM 42.

#3
childhood flashbacks with Maria Stark
infancy flashback with Maria Stark
teenage flashbacks
James Rhodes as War Machine (from IM 290, Mar 1993)
Mojo
Major Domo

#4
The cover tries to duplicate Adi Granov. "Fifth decade of Iron Man comics" (2003-2013)
Synopsis: Iron Man asks various supernatural characters, Dr. Strange, Dr. Voodoo, Moon Knight, Spider-Man and Dr. Strange if they see a vision that haunts him. He investigates with Maria Hill.
Stark, "I'm the new Director of SHIELD." (from Civil War, Jan 2007 to Secret Invasion 8, Jan 2009).

#5
Current 2020s armor (model 70)
visiting Deola (a mutant) in prison
a talking bear from Grizzly City (cf Heroes Reborn 3, May 2021)
Iron Man, She-Hulk, Maria Hill vs a Stark clone (dies)
Three months later, mentions "an alien warrior race of plants" (probably after Empyre, 2020)
Nick Fury (in flashback)
This particular clone dies at the end.
Note: story suggests the Stark from Civil War may have been a clone.
