10 Insane Alternative Versions Of Iron Man You Won't Believe Exist

4. Iron Man: Sorcerer Supreme

Iron Man Emperor Stark
Marvel Comics

Though Tony Stark is not a man who doesn't appreciate a convenient magical teammate or cool wizard beard, he's also sort of the last guy you'd expect to be picking up the mystical arts when that time could be spent making more groundbreaking tech.

He's dabbled in using technology and magic together, sure, but it's always seemed like science is his first love, and magic is an emergency backup when times are dire.

Which is why it's pretty surprising to see Earth-TRN591, where Tony Stark is the Sorcerer Supreme, instead of Stephen Strange. To be fair, that's because this is one of Marvel's many potential futures - only for once, a pretty happy one.

Because it's a world in which various governments worked together to fund various plans to save the world... and they succeed, creating global peace.

It's almost sad that one of the most surprising potential futures for Marvel is one where everything goes right, but the fact that it exists is still a nice spot of light amongst some otherwise grimdark series.
