Feilong comes to Iron Man, and is still all upset about not having dominion over Mars. Will buying Stark Industries salve the pain?
It was a little curious to me that the terraforming of Mars from Jonathan Hickman‘s Avengers saga didn’t seem to be acknowledged as part of the later terraforming of Mars as Arakko in the X-Men books. That may have been because while the first was from Jonathan Hickman, the second was from Gerry Duggan for Planet-Sized X-Men #1 after Hickman had stepped away. Well, with Gerry Duggan now writing Invincible Iron Man and bringing Krakoan characters into it, he gets to revisit the history of Mars in that way.
With Duggan co-created Feilong’s trip to Mars, now rewritten as trying to take advantage of what had been left on Mars before the mutants got to it.
And now taking over Stark Industries via both fair means and foul…
With Chibi Iron Men for the publicity.
But if Feilong can’t beat Tony Stark by the economic, the physical or the psychological route…
…maybe the legal route is all he has left.
If only there was the help of a legally independent and distinct nation that Tony Stark might be able to call on to deal with Feilong…
