While Robert Downey Jr. Iron Is the heart and soul of the MCU, Marvel Studios barely explored his long list of bad guys. Loki, Baron Zemo and Thanos all had an incredible dynamic with Tony Stark, but none of them had an exclusive link with Stark. Through three solo films and several Avengers releases, Iron Man by Robert Downey Jr. rarely faced his comic strip enemies.
Other Marvel heroes defeated Iron Man in a rich gallery of thugs. However, this does not mean that Tony Stark lacks memorable enemies. Since Kevin Feige confirmed that the MCU will finally restart the figures as central as Steve Rogers and Tony Stark, an Iron Man restarted could finally face the enemies that the DRJ version has never had the chance to do so.

CRAMY DYNAMO
Russian counterpart from Iron Man
The first versions of Jon Favreau Iron Crimson Dynamo as the first antagonist of Tony before pivoting Obadiah Stane Aka Iron Monger. After that, Crimson Dynamo appeared only in the Iron Man 2 Video game, where he operates Stark Industries Tech. In comics, Crimson Dynamo repeatedly challenges Tony Stark with technology similar to Iron Man.
Crimson Dynamo remains the entry -level armored paper par excellence in Iron Man. More than twelve years after the Action Armor-Vs-Armor of the MCU action, the next Tony Stark of the MCU needs another visually striking and technology battle. A Dynamo match would make the Iron Man focus back, potentially with a side of political intrigue.

Blizzard
Recurring iron enemies with cryogenic powers
Blizzard may not be the most flashy villain in Iron Man, but he is a persistent thorn to the Tony Stark team since Suspense tales # 45. Originally, Jack Frost, Blizzard Wield Cryogénic Technology capable of generating blizzards, freezing opponents and harming Stark technology. In comics, Blizzard is often described as a criminal from the working class who arms the Stark’s own inventions against him.
The Donnie Gill version of Blizzard was introduced in Shield agentsPlayed by Dylan Minnette. Unfortunately, this Blizzard has never worn a suit and was killed before meeting Tony Stark. When the MCU inevitably presents a new Iron Man, the roots at the Blizzard level would make him an ideal antagonist before Stark faces threats of higher level.

The living laser
Parks Arthur Supervillain Intangibles Arthur
The living laser, introduced into Avengers # 34, is one of the most underestimated bad guys in Iron Man. His powers transform him into a quasi-immortal in pure energy. Iron Man 2 did not do justice to Whiplash’s electrical capacities, and The Amazing Spider-Man 2The electro was bogged down by a disorderly script. With meticulous manipulation, the living laser could be the most destructive live supervillain.
In the MCU, the living laser could be more than another villain of the week. Arthur Parks’ electrical capacities could make him a recurring challenge for several heroes, notably Iron Man, Vision and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II Wonder Man, who all fought him in the comics. Of all the bad guys from Iron Man, the living laser has the most potential to be visually unique.

Master-SPYMAT
Several conspirators who become a thorn on the side of Tony Stark
Spymaster is a name carried by several different agents of Marvel Comics, all the masters of espionage and infiltration. Introduced for the first time in Iron # 33, Spymaster has repeatedly sabotaged Stark Shadow Industries. Spymastre played a major role in the Armor wars Storyline, where he exposed Stark inventions to companies and wicked rivals.
Since the MCU Armor wars Will probably arrive after the multi -long saga, Spymaster could make his debut as the next main antagonist of Iron Man. Spymaster’s MCU version could prosper as a mixture of familiar antagonistic features: targeted Vulture attacks, Mysterio betrayal and Ghost’s stealth. On this note, Ghost is originally a villain from Iron Man, but it is unlikely that Starr of Hannah John-Kamin has returned to his antagonistic roots after Thunderbolts *.

Iron Man 2020
Tony Stark’s brother Arno Stark,
A restarted Tony Stark would also open the door to Tony’s extended family. In the comics, Arno Stark and the original Morgan Stark both have tangled heritages linked to the Stark industries and the Iron Man coat. Arno is best known to put on the Iron Man 2020 armor; A larger version of Tony’s costume. Arno’s arrival joins Iron Man against a darker version focused on the company.
With the multiverse saga already playing a lot with deadlines and alternative realities, the presence of Arno Stark in the MCU seems almost inevitable. Arno would be the new version of Tony Stark from an Iron man with evil. Since 2020 is no longer the future, the MCU could update Arno Stark’s code name to something more appropriate.

Ezekiel arrives
Obadiah Stane’s son
Although the multi -voted saga can restart major characters like Iron Man, the path of Ezekiel Stane does not need a lot of changes. In the comics, Zeke is the son of Obadiah Stane, who inherits the brilliance of his father and fights Iron Man with a peak biotechnology instead of an ordinary armor. Zeke improvements make him even more deadly than the iron in iron.
Zeke Stane of Alden Ehrenreich has only just started his bad journey through the MCU. A continuation of his bow could see him evolve in a true heir to the heritage of his father. In addition to a revenge match with Ironheart by Dominique Thorne, the body supplied with biotechnology of Zeke Stane would make him an exceptional opponent for a restarted Tony Stark.

Madame Masque
Leader of the Maggie Giulietta harmful
Madame Masque is a brilliant strategist, fighter and boss of the crime, torn between her criminal family heritage and her own quest for power. Like Doctor Doom, she constantly hides her marked face behind a mask. While Carter agent Remains technically canon in the current chronology of the MCU, a soft restart could allow a new version of Madame Masque to be active today.
Bringing Madame Masque into the Redesmarked MCU would provide Iron Man with a long-term opponent who can draw the strings from the crime organized in the background. Unlike other shielded bad guys, Madame Masque could torment Iron Man with carefully planned plots. More than twelve years later, a new Captain America: The Winter Soldier would be welcome.

Modok
Aim Manspermind George Tarleton
A frequent enemy of multiple heroes, Modok has repeatedly fought Captain America, The Hulk and Iron Man, often embodying the worst mixture of disarticulated genius and a hunger of violence. The bizarre conception of Modok and the terrifying intellect make him a unique enemy. More importantly, the technological powers of modok are perfect for Iron Man.
The beginnings of the MCUK MCUK in Ant-man and the wasp: Quantumania fell flat. A restarted modok, more true in its comic roots, could become a central antagonist on its own. Instead of Darren Cross, George Tarleton could be presented as a brain of frantic goal capable of competing with each of the Avengers.

Nice Catch Foom
The imposing Makluan Kaiju
End Fang Foom is one of the greatest Marvel bad guys not to honor the screen. The mystical dragon has been a recurring marvel monster since the age of money. After Shang-chi and the legend of the ten rings Introduced the great protector and the Ta-Lo estate, the MCU has already laid the basics of the end of Fang Foom.
However, the start of the end of Fang Foom without an Iron Man to him would be a wasted opportunity. Unlike the representation of Robert Downey Jr., a restarted Tony Stark could fight a completely mystical villain in a solo Iron Man film. All Marvel traditions and the quality VFX necessary to do justice at the end of Fang Foom already exists.

Mandarin
Iron Man’s life archnemis
Without a doubt, Mandarin is the most important comic strip enemy of Iron Man. Since the 1960s, their quarrel has defined the comic evolution of Iron Man, standing alongside rivalries like Spider-Man and Green Goblin or Thor and Loki. In other words, no villain tests the mind and ingenuity of Iron Man more than Mandarin.
In the MCU, the Mandarin was fractured in several pieces. Iron Man 3 Presented the false mandarin of Trevor Slattery, while Adrich Killian claimed to be the real. SO, Shang-chi and the legend of the ten rings Made from Xu Wenwu a bad shang-chi. A Soft-Reboot MCU could bring together an XU Wenwu living with a new Iron Man, finally saying the final Mandarin vs. Iron Feud that the MCU has not yet delivered.
