Yesterday , Marvel harbinger that Tony Stark would be walk off from his latest wooing of ability armor . His replacement is go to beRiri Williams , a whiz MIT scholarly person who is n’t old enough to drink yet . ( So no “ Demon in a Bottle ” storyline for her , I approximate . )
Riri Williams first appeared was in a subplot that started months ago in Invincible Iron Man # 6 . Her initial scenes render employment well underway on a image suit of armor , cobbled together from components she “ borrowed ” from the MIT campus . make a suit of armor is noisy work and the racket did n’t endear Riri to her hall neighbors .
look back on the Riri succession from Invincible Iron Man # 6 - 11 , it becomes crystal clear that the editorial plans for her shoot for at high than her just being a sidekick or admit on the War Machine identity after James Rhodes death . She tells her ally Sharon about compulsively starting in on the armor project without know why , and fill in it just as Tony Stark ’s long absence seizure from the public eye take off reach headlines .
Campus security break their fiddling chat and Riri fires up the kick jets on her Gundam - inflected cosmos for the first time .
Her first actual case of do - gooding pass in this week ’s unbeatable Iron Man # 11 , when she stops a pair of prisoners escaping from a New Mexico prison house .
So far , Riri ’s personality has been shown to harbor a few chemical element that echo that of Tony Stark . She seems to impetuously do what she want and is n’t that great when it comes to thinking about consequences . That ’s believably apprehensible for a teenager with an tidings that ’s put her on the firm track to succeeder . Superheroing is a whole other form of challenge , though , and it ’ll be interesting to see who , if anyone , will serve as a mentor to Riri .
Given his recurring - type status in Invincible Iron Man andhelmet - curb affectedness in the recent Marvel Now teaser poster , Victor Von Doom would be a likely candidate . surely , he used to ( ? ) be one of the world ’s most baleful supervillains , but who better to serve as instructor to an nouveau-riche hero than someone who on a regular basis got his butt kicked by the biggest world - savers ? Mentoring Riri would also arguably earn Victor some good will from the hero community .
There ’s still a few months to go before Riri takes on the starring role in the next book of Invincible Iron Man , a time catamenia that will show Tony Stark deal with personal and fiscal crises and Marvel ’s submarine align into Modern configurations . Hopefully , we ’ll see why Riri deserves to jump so quickly to the head of the pack of the publishing company ’s A - list characters .
