The Question: After accidentally being shot out of the sky by Vision during Civil War, Rhodey is paralysed and ends up facing a long road to recovery, with the help of Tony Stark's state-of-the-art leg braces, of course. But will Rhodey ever don the War Machine suit again, or is this it for him?

The Likely Answer: Nothing would be particularly surprising here: Rhodes could sit out Infinity War in an active capacity and perhaps help call the shots from Avengers HQ, or perhaps command unmanned suits/drones from the relative safety of a command center.

Alternatively, maybe this is how we'll appear in Part 1, and then when the Avengers need everything they've got to take Thanos down in Part 2, he'll suit up...and possibly end up dying for real this time.

In short, we'll probably see him in the suit again, but not for a little while.
