10 Things You Didn't Know About Ironheart
5. She Was Recruited By Leonardo Da Vinci
In Invincible Iron Man #600, painter and inventor Leonardo da Vinci mastered time and space and recruited Riri Williams, Dr. Toni Ho, the current Iron Patriot, and Miles Morales to be part of a think tank to bring SHIELD back. Da Vinci planned to take a “science first" approach to the new SHIELD while Blade and Cable were handling the physical training of new recruits.
While this was occurring, Tony Stark, who had been in hiding, resurrected James Rhodes. On the roof of the Sofitel Hotel, Tony’s biological mother was surprised to see his biological father, Jude, a Hydra agent that she thought she had killed years ago. Jude forced Amanda to leave a message on Tony’s voicemail. On a yacht somewhere, Eric Lynch was being forced by the Hood to sign over all of Stark Enterprises' assets to him.
The Hood and his Gang are beset by Dr. Doom and several Doombots. Tony and Rhodey arrived with a legion of remote-controlled Iron Man Armours. Back at the hotel, Mary Jane Watson arrived and shot Jude in the shoulder. He called for his battalion of nearby Hydra agents, but they were met by Ironheart, da Vinci, and their team, and eventually Rhodes and Tony. Doom suffered the worst as his previously repaired face was burned by Parker Robbin’s demon for trying to hurt the Hood.
