Despite having distanced himself from the arms industry, Stark Unlimited, initially controlled by Arno Stark and Feilong, has resumed its weapon manufacturing in Tony’s absence. Now, Stark is reportedly resurrecting some of his old weaponry and a new militant suit to combat Doom directly.
As He Conquers the World, Doctor Doom Will Face a “New, Deadly”Iron Man
Tony Stark Has Nothing Left to Lose
Marvel Comics is set to officially launch the “One World Under Doom”event early next year. The ramifications of Doom’s ascension as the new Sorcerer Supreme have already been explored in titles such as Amazing Spider-Man, Avengers, and Storm. Now, it’s Iron Man’s turn to confront the formidable sorcerer in 2025. Currently, Tony Stark is in a precarious position, having just regained control of his company after a hostile takeover—only to face yet another threat that could strip him of his suits and power. Stark is in a state of physical frailty and mental exhaustion, on the brink of being forgotten, yet a fierce determination has started to ignite within him.
Tony Stark is weary of the constant setbacks and being overshadowed. While there may come a time when he feels ready to don the Iron Man armor for one last stand, that moment will not be during a sale of his legacy to entities like A.I.M. or Roxxon. He’s now taking matters into his own hands, systematically dismantling his corporate enemies’ resources until they crumble alongside him. With Doom emerging as a global menace disguised as a benevolent ruler, Iron Man is gearing up to unleash a fiercer and more vengeful side of himself than Doom has ever encountered.

Iron Man Embraces His Company’s Militant Legacy – and More
Cover art from Iron Man #6 indicates that Tony is adapting to an evolved strategy in his efforts to extract Stark Unlimited from the grasp of the weapons industry. While the company’s board is eyeing a sale of Stark Unlimited and its armaments, Tony has resolved to redirect their existing arsenal straight to Doctor Doom. It seems that Stark has made adjustments to his steampunk Iron Man suit, aligning it more closely with Justine Hammer’s magically-enhanced Iron Monger armor. Somewhere along this path, Iron Man likely defeats Hammer and incorporates her technology into his current armament, enhancing his defenses against the Sorcerer Supreme.
With his back against the wall and everything at stake, Tony Stark is rejuvenating his identity as Iron Man with explosive consequences. This marks a transformative chapter in his saga. Enraged and disillusioned, Stark is compelled to confront the ongoing mistakes of his past. Despite his long-standing commitment to distancing himself from the creation of weapons—especially after the calamitous introduction of the Stark Sentinels—he finds himself leaning into that legacy as a countermeasure against Doctor Doom. A man of science, Stark recognizes that overcoming the mystical arts requires more than sheer intellect and technology. In this desperate scenario, Tony Stark is fundamentally rebranding himself and Iron Man with potent ramifications.
