Marvel’s New Iron Man Is a Black Woman

Marvel writer Brian Michael Bendis talks the creation of Riri Williams, who will take over for Tony Stark

There’s a new Iron Man. Well, Iron Man for now. She’s still working on the name. The events at the end of the comic book event series Civil War II will result in Tony Stark stepping out of the Iron Man suit and a new character, Riri Williams, taking over, Marvel tells TIME. (Note: Tony’s departure doesn’t mean you know the end to Civil War II yet.)

Riri is a science genius who enrolls in MIT at the age of 15. She comes to the attention of Tony when she builds her own Iron Man suit in her dorm. Creator and Iron Man writer Brian Michael Bendis spoke exclusively to TIME about the creation of Riri Williams with book artist Stefano Caselli and Marvel’s increasingly diverse cast of characters.

I just think it’s ironic that people who enjoy science fiction/fantasy stories get all bent out of shape when a female does something extraordinary.

Hint: None of it is real.

Actually yes. The current head of the MIT Chemical Engineering department. Used to study with her. Sweetest person you’d ever want to meet and extremely sharp. A couple of others immediately come to mind.

Men should just stay with one another to be safe.

No question men are made out to be dummies if not monsters.

But then, many old shows were quite similar actually. You’d be surprised.

As far as the white criminal, yeah, that is a big pet peeve of mine. It’s happened that way regularly in all media...TV, movies, commercials..,for a few decades now. Never dare show the common crook as a black.

NO issue on safety with females with the exception of financial and material possessions and children being taken from you by a court.

That and a Herpegonnashypilliaids infection you can contract from her, but that’s the risk you run if you have to have sex. Raincoat!

Lemme guess. She dons the armored suit and goes out for a drive trying to lure some white cop to pull her over and then unleashes all her pent up fury and rage on the cop...to atone for three hundred years of abuse of her race at the hands of ‘whitey’.
