what if tony stark was a genetic engineer instead??
This is a pretty fascinating concept, especially since we appear to be moving into an era of increased genetic modifications. Marvel has sort of touched on this with the Extremis storyline, but a Cronenbergian version of Iron Man would be extremely appealing to me, both for the horrific elements it potentially presents and for the relevancy of the concept itself. We understand high tech weaponry, but our own bodies are still in many ways a mystery to us and taking a well-known and familiar super hero and turning him into a vessel for that mystery and terror could completely upend all notions we have of him, resulting in the kind of truly new and innovative storytelling and characterization we don’t see at the Big Two often enough.
