Iron Man's New Super-Team is Already Falling Apart | Screen Rant
Spoilers for Iron Man #8!
Iron Man’s newest super-team may be on the verge of falling apart. Deep in space without its leaders, the crew is running into more than a few obstacles thanks to the even bigger and badder Korvac.
Iron Man’s fight with Korvac has taken him to space with his motley crew of odd man superheroes and Frog-Man. Resurrected and placed in a new android body, Korvac is seeking to expand his reach and grow his god-like powers with the promise of a homogenous utopia of his own creation. While each member of Tony’s crew is preparing for the fight to come and pontificating about their place in the universe, Hellcat, aka Patsy Walker, and Tony Stark take a short psychic jaunt to see the utopia of “crystals eating crystals” that Korvac plans to shape the universe into. The visit, however, does not go quite as either hero had planned—as if anything less would be expected from Tony Stark and company.
Iron Man #8 by Christopher Cantwell, Angel Unzueta, and Frank D’Armata, begins with a bang. Or, rather, it begins a dogfight in space. Hellcat and Tony’s conversation with Korvac has ended with Korvac seemingly banishing Tony somewhere away from his gaggle of would-be heroes. Meanwhile, Hellcat’s psychic form is transformed into one of Korvac’s crystal creatures in retribution for rejecting his strange idea of utopia. All that would be bad enough, but that is the moment that Korvac attacks Tony’s spaceship with his crew inside still unprepared for the fight to come. Marvel recently releases some preview images for Iron Man #8. Take a look below:
With their fearless leader fearlessly braving a whole different problem far away from his cohorts, the team is placed in a situation where they must out-gun and out-maneuver Korvac and his own crew. With Halcyon and Rhodey at the controls, and Scarlet Spider and Misty manning the guns, the team is more than a little unprepared. Meanwhile, Gargoyle attempts to reach the unconscious Hellcat. While trapped in Kovac's crystal shell, the reader is shown a glimpse of something else—of somewhere else where her consciousness floats. She’s not alone in that space, however, as a new voice introduces itself with the simple question “Don’t you recognize my voice?”
With no Iron Man, no Hellcat, a supervillain with borderline god-like powers, and a battle between two souped-up spaceships that is getting dodgier by the minute. It would probably take a miracle—or a little comic book magic—to get this collapsing team back on top and ready to take down Korvac.
