10 Things Everyone Always Gets Wrong About Iron Man

7. Tony Has ALWAYS Been Iron Man

Tony Stark might be the Iron Man, but he hasn't been the only one in the comics to take on the mantle over the years.

His first replacement was Colonel James 'Rhodey' Rhodes, who assumed the Iron Man identity back when Tony Stark relapsed into alcoholism and had his company taken over by Obidiah Stane. Rhodey would later assume the mantle of War Machine, fighting alongside Stark's Iron Man in a variety of different comics.

Apart from that, there was also an awkward period where Tony's teen-self became Iron Man, as it was revealed that the present Tony had been a villain all along. Much better, however, have been Tony's recent replacements, with both Riri Williams and even Victor Von Doom having assumed variations of the Iron Man identity over the last few years.

Point being, Tony hasn't been the only Iron Man, and at the rate he's going through successors, expect there to be more in the years to come.
