Iron Age 2

Post by Leoparis »

Power Man Iron Fist:
Indications:
Iron Man had a rampage on Times Square before this story
He's replaced by Rhodes
Power Man Iron Fist Misty Knight Colleen Wing and jenny Royce appear as well as Tinkerer and Scorpion


Human Torch:
Indications
Dr. Doom says he's impoverished due to his former ally Darkoth
Iron Man has the armor with a nose
The Human Torch has his red costume
He says Reed and Sue just just patched things up after a bad separation
So this is circa 1974-1975

The Tony Stark from this time period also appears

(the artist drew a person in a Spider-Woman costume at a party, that's slightly anachronistic since she didn't exist yet)

The rampage in Times Square was in IM 169. Since Stane International appears on a display in Times Square, this would be sometime after IM 173.

Alright, to explain this, someone asked regarding the Iron Age 2 about a break-up between Sue and Reed.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119349/quotes

In issue 141 of the Fantastic Four, published in November, 1973, Reed Richards had to use his anti-matter weapon on his own son, who Annihilus has turn into the Human Atom Bomb. I think this refers to that.

Your point would be clearer if, instead of posting links to quotes from a movie, you connected the dots by saying "Mr. Fantastic's actions caused a temporary breakup between him and his wife."

I know, I'm talking crazy, huh? :willynilly:

In Iron Man: Omega, the past versions of Cage, Iron Fist, Dazzler, Cyclops, and Captain Britain all appear moments after their previous appearances in Iron Age. They are transported to the present to fight Birch and are transported back to the moment from which they were taken.

Iron Man: Omega also features a flashback scene that occurs at a point in the past long after the time-traveling Stark of the present started to work on a time-travel device. He goes to Henry Pym for help. Pym at this time has his Yellowjacket identity. This appearance by Pym will need to be placed.

Any thoughts now about chronology listings for all the characters of the past who are shown in these Iron Age comics?

Okay, I went out and purchased Iron Age #2. Here's my placement for the first story, featuring Power Man and Iron Fist.

We see the liquor signs in Times Square are still wrecked after a drunken Iron Man destroyed them in IM 169, and Cage is still pissed about that. Iron Fist says that it's no secret that Obadiah Stane has had Stark's personal assets frozen, so this story must occur after Stane took over Stark's company in IM 172-173, a month after IM 169. (Why won't they fix those signs?)

Vision and Scarlet Witch appear in PM&IF 102 before A 233, and Captain America appears in A 234 before IM 172. So IA 2 must occur sometime after PM&IF 102. (Back in PM&IF 94, Danny Rand offers to speak to Stark to get someone a job, so this chronology makes sense.)

Cage and Rand should appear in IA 3 before their appearance in IM 177, in which they are on friendlier terms with the Iron Man (who happens to be Jim Rhodes).

So...
Power Man & Iron Fist appear in IA 2 between PM&IF 102 and IM 177
Misty Knight & Colleen Wing appear in IA 2 between PM&IF 101 and PM&IF 103
Jennie Royce appears in IA 2 between PM&IF 100 and PM&IF 105-BTS
Scorpion appears in IA 2 between A 222 and COH 3

Also:
TINKERER
...
PPTSS 53
*FF 233-BTS [add]
*IA 2 [add]
CA 319-BTS
...

Here's my placement for the second story in IA 2.

Reed and Sue have been away for a few days, celebrating the patch up in their relationship, so it's shortly after FF 149. That right there places this story firmly in time, at a time when Iron Man did have that nose mask. Thing and Alicia Masters are out bowling BTS. The Tony Stark of this time period appears too.

So...
Iron Man (Stark) is in IA 2/2 between A 280-FB and CA 176.
Human Torch is in IA 2/2 between FF 149 and GSS-M 1.
Thing is BTS in IA 2/2 between FF 149 and GSFF 2.
Alicia Masters is BTS in IA 2/2 between FF 144 and FF 150.

Also:
DR. DOOM
...
FF 144
GSSVTU 1-FB (I think this is a FB)
*IA 2/2 [add]
*FF 157-FB [add]
FF 155
...
