Female Iron Man Gets Her Official Superhero Name (Which Is Not 'Iron Man')

Back in July, we found out that the comic book series Civil War II and Invincible Iron Man would introduce Riri Williams, a 15-year-old MIT student set to succeed Tony Stark as one of Marvel's biggest superheroes. Today we've learned, via Wired, that Riri will not go by the handle Iron Man but will rather dub herself Ironheart.

Following the Riri reveal, Fuse had a long chat with Marvel editor-in-chief Axel Alonso, who was tight-lipped about the eventual moniker. "All I'll say is the book is called Iron Man," he said. "The question will be: Will someone like Riri embrace the title 'Iron Man'?"
