Civil War Spoiler?

| | Comments (14)

I hope this is wrong, but the image is kinda convincing. I'm quoting this from an Amazon post I stumbled upon:

*This book reveals the secret history of Iron Man. I cant reveal how I got it because it may cost me my job (and no, I dont work for Marvel)

SPoilers ahead

We learn that Tony stark was never in the iron man suit!! From the beginning Steve Rogers was Iron MAN and Stark was just the public image/persona. Rogers was never frozen after WW2, It turns out that was his clone, part of the super soldier program (I guess they had cloning tech back in the 40's). I'm guessing Stark and the Real Steve rogers will reveal this to the cloned Rogers at the end of CW.

Whoever OKed this stupid retconn should be fired. The art was pretty good though, Zircher does classic superheroes right.*

This is almost certainly bullshit, but hey, with all the whacked out stuff they've been doing, who the hell knows?

Eh, the retconning at least is better then my Watcher/Dr. Strange/Scarlet Witch theories, not much better, mind you. Nifty looking Iron Man suit.

If this is anywhere near true. Goodbye Marvel comics. I mean it this time.

Are they insane? Have they finally snapped under the pressure of their own egos at Marvel??

This HAS to be bullshit. If it isn't, then it may actually turn me off buying comics once and for all after over 30 years of putting my money into the pockets of those crazy as batshit idiots.

All I really care about is why are there fucking bullets in the shield?

Spider-Ben said:

I don't believe this for one minute. It's just way to fucking pathetic to be true. Sure, Marvel has made mistakes in the past, but this is just way to ignorant to be true. I'm still thinking Cap is going to die at the end of Civil War, and maybe Tony builds some sort of Cap Iron suit as tribute and guilt to his fallen friend.

Nonetheless, the pic is cool. Silvestri rocks!

Well, if it is finally coming to this, then all I have to say is good ridance. I will just be buying the Ultimate line from now on and more DC,which thanks to you guys I have been picking up quite more recently. This has to be one of those What If stories? Come on Marvel, I stayed through House M, Sin's Past, and now this?

Chris said:

Ditto to that Justin (as I mention in our rant)

however

Man I love Leinel Yu and I may get NA just for the art...

Quoted for truth. If this is seriously the way they decided to end Civil War.... fucking bring the hatin' on!

joshiebear said:

i'd say the official odds are this being bullshit are around 1000-1 in favor of the bullshit theory. this would just be such an incredible mistake on their part, essentially wiping out everything people (used to) like about iron man. stay calm and collected my friends, but be ready to hurl shit like a howler monkey if it really does come down to this some day.

they already bored us to death with the clone saga on the original spidey series (not ultimate), they should learn from the past...but i still think this is pretty BS

Rashaun said:

That has to be the Cover for the Bullet Points. Read:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullet_Points

joshiebear said:

that seems pretty feasable. i pray to god that you are right. seriously, i'm on my knees. you hear me marvel!? do you see what you make me do!?

AL said:

I think it is a symbolic picture...signifying some sort of truce that will be reached at the end of civ #7 when a hero dies...

The speculation added to the picture is just trying to throw us off...

VampireGrimm said:

I think that in the end, Iron Man will be tried for war crimes, or Cap will be forced to remain off the grid so to speak.
