Image: Superior Iron Man issue 1, recent reinvention of the famed character Tony Stark wherein his personality is reversed by the telepathic powers of Red Onslaught (Nazi scientist Red Skull possessing the brain of X Men founder Charles Xavier to become a 50 foot armored skull tentacle monster, comics logic) and he develops a worldwide technological interface called Extremis (representative of Apple in our world) that appears to connect everyone but really just profits Stark and increases his own technology based power. The series as a whole is a social commentary on our dependence on modern, white, sleek looking technology and appliances and how it can warp us as people. The white liquid metal Mark 51 Iron Man suit established in this issue also works as a dark parody and warning of what our ever encompassing smartphones might one day evolve into.
