The Sub-Mariner rumored to be the next villain in Iron Man 3
So I heard a rumor today online that the villain they are considering for the next Iron Man movie is the Sub-Mariner. I actually think this is a pretty cool idea. The Sub-Mariner was always kind of a mysterious character who had his own agenda and complete contempt and disregard for surface dwellers. He was like a cool Aquaman. I also really like him because he looked a lot like a Vulcan, and I have always been a big Spock fan.
This will actually prove a nice challenge for Tony Stark. Does his suit even work underwater? I don’t expect it to rust or anything dumb like that, but is it truly water proof? Do the repulsors work underwater? How long of an air supply has he built into the suit? In the first movie the thing flared out in the upper atmosphere, so maybe there is no air supply, just some kind of filter. I am really curious.
Of course, the very first Iron Man as seen in this image I found in Dave’s comic book t shirts was really primitive, showing there is an evolution of the suit technology. Maybe the movie will start off with the suit not really able to do anything under water and Tony having to modify it into an aqua suit. That would be cool.
Of course, in my comic book recollection the Sub-Mariner was always more of a Fantastic Four villain, but maybe I missed a few issues.
