[@flameconvoy7424]

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate that tony is so smart, that an alien robot truly believed that he was the genetically engineered super baby that he made

[@dn6725]

Lol

[@arturopatrick8104]

you prolly dont care but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times you can watch pretty much all of the new series on instaflixxer. Have been binge watching with my girlfriend recently =)

[@axlerick4456]

@Arturo Patrick Definitely, have been using instaflixxer for since november myself :)

[@axtonsutton6290]

@Arturo Patrick yea, I have been using instaflixxer for months myself :D

[@Dloner00]

Death's Head reminds me of Emperor Zurg, enemy to Buzz Lightyear....

[@DuckRiceFarmer]

One thing that doesn't make sense to me is why the recorder didn't stop to question why Tony Stark is still alive if he had programmed him to die by time he was in his 30s. I guess the better question is how old is Tony Stark at the time of this story?

[@edhenson2545]

Endgame... 😂

[@jackblack5393]

I was hoping that the God killer armor would be a mod to Stark's armor

[@rickearl1392]

Tomy made a armor called godkiller II or GK MK II thesame size and color made to fight against the horde or black celestials it was a quite a strong armor but got destroyed in the end

[@trenchdigger59xzy]

This would explain the strained relationship between Tony Stark and his father Howard. Howard was afraid of losing another son so he was extremely strict on Tony to protect him.

[@Jacob-sb3su]

"But the fact remains here" "Because of the fact" "But the fact remains here" "Because of the fact" "But the fact remains here" "Because of the fact" "But the fact remains here" "Because of the fact" "But the fact remains here" "Because of the fact"

[@nerdlord6164]

Yes

[@KamenRiderBlackSun]

So tony is not a stark??? Is he a Targaryen??? Tony Snow??

[@priyanshubateriwala1462]

KamenRiderBlackSun Maybe a Wayne lol

[@madscientistshusta]

KamenRiderBlackSun this was funny af

[@RDL7Pro]

KamenRiderBlackSun lmao your amazing man Comment of the year

[@shadesoul4247]

Glad to see a fellow Rider fan on a Comics Explained vid.

[@reusko4288]

Armstrong he is the son of Amanda armstrong a shield agent

[@jacobkeegan995]

Love you work! Please use a naming convention, and use like thumbnails for videos in a series. I had no idea this was part two of the god killer armor.

[@EKEN55]

Awesome narration as always Rob !!!

[@kcvic]

wasn't galactus eating planets to slow down the celestials?

[@manuelcabeza5527]

kcvic and necessary sake celestials be near extinction due to beyonder. That it allow him to be life bringer

[@1MarkKeller]

Yep, at least in the iteration of his story I remember ... he wanted to eat the Earth because of the Celestial in it.

[@manuelcabeza5527]

Mark Keller I believe that earth x explanation of thing

[@carlospedro7050]

manuel cabeza logos killed every celestial that survived that beyonders attack but the one above all mainly because the queen of nevers saved it and then they revived every single celestial.

[@blackphoenix77]

Mr Temporal It seems like some of the stuff about the Celestials was incorporated into the mainstream Marvel Universe

[@louisthompson4712]

Great video Rob!

[@TevyaSmolka]

I personally found this retcon to be a terrible idea

[@retrobrian1]

The whole secrect brother and tony being adopted is so convoluted and comes off as cheesy.

[@dragonman5330]

They could've made them both brothers in some way shape and form, biological-wise. Not this confusing mess.

[@madscientistshusta]

B R I A N • P H R E E soap opra level Next time on iron times: was starks dad in a coma the whole time? Is arnolds secreate love acually pepper but she lost her memory!?

[@metal87power]

just plainly stupid for 451's fault.

[@isaiahbutler1144]

B R I A N • P H R E E yeah, I don't like it.

[@TheoryAndGames]

Yeah I did read that much, and see videos saying that Tony is actually adopted...I believe that, but when they start a retcon story where Tony has "an older brother" that too is totally legit, but when you see a youtube video from a fan who researches the comics and knows what he is doing, where you see in his video that says, Tony's dad actually couldn't have children and "The Recorder" that actually continued traveling interstellar space and ended up on earth trying to make sure that Tony Stark actually becomes who he is during the comics...you can see this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3q2latorM97aqc but I can I understand how the editor of this video says, he was not discussing the entire story...but is is weird that this retcon story comes out, and it could well be from the story line in the comics I just linked, titled: Iron Man: The Godkiller Armor (The Secret Origin of Tony Stark Book 1) But what bothers me is the other two points I mentioned, when Tony's father meets The Recorder, they go into a conversation like Mr. Stark had to be genetically enhanced to be able to conceive, meaning get a woman pregnant...so, how was Mr. Stark able to give birth to Tony Stark but yet have the ability to have children prior to meeting The Recorder who then gives him the ability to conceive Tony, not some other person before Tony, and then adopt Tony some time later, as one would assume....if that happens to be the case, then I really need to read the comics to be able to tell the difference, though the video above suggests there were no more Stark children after Tony Stark, so who is actually Tony Stark the day he was born versus the Older Brother Stark who they are trying to disclose in this story...it does not add up, unless it is a different timeline continuity.

[@loccaleus1]

that was dope. love it Rob.

[@South1779]

Story Idea: Since Tony is adopted but still super smart, he's actually a mutant or inhuman 😲

[@phillydude782422]

Rob just wanted to tell ya youre awesome and youre channel is the most swifty

[@tobynstanley1297]

Love your stuff man been watching it for 6 hours straight

[@casperfang]

Always a fan of ur work... because of u, I'm buying comics again... this was a good story arc... going to have to catch up on this one... thx

[@victor29681]

Great video

[@temibabayemi6692]

Man I already knew this story but damn Rob; the way you do it it just pure fire 👌🏾

[@PepsiandLemonade]

This story actually made me drop Iron Man back when it came out. I thought it was kinda cheap.

[@Skooby59]

keep up the great work rob. any chance on going over the phantom stranger from DC? looking forward to you covering iron metropolitan. much love man

[@princesamael8099]

Subscribed! VERY seldom do I do that thanks for giving me a reason keep it up bro...Shalom!

[@GoodAkuma666]

Good stuff.

[@zyxyx6754]

Tony belongs to the *top 10 smartest people in the marvel universe* and the Starks just so happen to find a child like him? This story is ridiculously stupid.

[@autobot3b5]

holy crap that was a great story! give us more of that. Thanks Rob.

[@silvermoonblood939]

please continue this story its so interesting

[@christophermichael5764]

this is amazing!

[@CIRRUSAURUS]

Wow! Loved it

[@trevorbernard1349]

Now this was pretty Cool!

[@royalbanner4019]

man do you know how to tell a good story. i got shivers lol

[@kal-elkent2873]

yo... i love this channel

[@momo0000]

can't wait for the next episode!

[@dno440]

hey love the channel, just an fyi, you have your thumbnail pictures and title switched for the god killer armor and the adopted tony stark part.

[@dossfishing3821]

Keep it going love this Tony Stark series thing

[@alphamalemc5352]

Nice!

[@shanebovell6733]

Love this story!

[@1MarkKeller]

I can only imagine that Arno dies somehow and soon because if he's smarter than Tony ... why didn't he inherit the mantle of Iron Man instead of Ri Ri.

[@ToastieCinemaX]

Mark Keller because they trashed this origin and story and it no longer exists

[@temibabayemi6692]

Because... he's paralyzed

[@prismking3282]

He can't walk and he is constantly sick

[@CornBreadtm1]

Ignoring the fact that Arno can't do anything but think, it's because RiRi can be trained and molded into the type of hero that Tony Stark want. When Tony got back from space, he remade the Avengers and started Training Ms. Marvel, Nova and Spider-man. He liked it and searched out RiRi so that he could have a legacy to train as well and made it so that if anything happened to him he'd have a successor. RiRi isn't random she has been getting built since Tony started his character growth since like a year ago. You just gotta actually read the comics to know about his growth.

[@EmoEmu]

He had worse chances of survival than that teen in a horror movie who decides to take a shower for no goddamn reason.

[@user-vc3wx5el3z]

hhhhhhhh i would love to see you cover Eternity war/ultimates since it just finished up this month, it was sooooo good!!

[@LittleFears]

Sounds like a well-done story, but man, comics that retcon births are as bad as eternally resurrecting dead heroes. Push characters forward comics writers, stop lookin' back. :)

[@Mystery-pd6jc]

Well they brought him back to push him forward, this leads into Metropolitan as Rob said and that's full of development :D

[@_dr_ake]

So if he's not a true Stark does that make him Tony Snow?

[@archangelreyen7113]

Woot first 100! Keep it up Rob

[@MrChupacabra555]

Even though, as a long time Marvel fan, I wasn't too happy to learn that Tony wasn't the actual biological child of the Starks, I did like this story line. It was heavy in some good Sci-Fi, and kind of re-introduced a character: Arno Stark, who in older comics was the future evil descendant of Tony. Unfortunately, Secret Wars this storyline seemed to be forgotten (at least as far as I know, I really haven't been following Marvel closely these days).

[@diegos7337]

Such a good story!!!

[@analissecasado399]

great story Rob ! is it part of the marvel comics continuity?

[@ygray9794]

Rob, u gotta start putting what the ending songs are again lol? so does anyone know what song this is lol?

[@nathanielpatterson1451]

Yo! that is crazy. when is the third chapter coming out?

[@jesseweiss424]

So wait it just so happened they adopted a kid who is also a super genius engineer who is the next best option for piloting the God armour. Mmmmmmm ok

[@danielwhite1890]

451 didn't do anything

[@F0XHunter]

Kinda, except for that last part

[@NeutralGuyDoubleZero]

@Shawn S Welcome to comics noob. Captain America wears a stupid as hell costume and punches Hitler in the face and is still remembered as one of the greatest super hero characters ever.

[@NeutralGuyDoubleZero]

@Shawn S I said noob because the concept of characters and motivations being dumb and highly convenient/contrived is how comics have been running since day one. It wasnt a serious insult (as if anyone even seriously says it anymore anyway). Youre a bit late to the party to start calling things in comics dumb. Im gonna assume you meant to say "Still doesnt mean tony stark being adopted isn't dumb."

[@NeutralGuyDoubleZero]

@Shawn S Again, comics have pretty always been full of changes and retcons since day one. This isnt a new thing.

[@MJeri-nk5rt]

Super great videos, only tiny thing is maybe don't spoil the video in the thumbnail/title? Just a suggestion. Keep it up!

[@LUISPRIME]

Making Tony a non blood Stark is as stupid as the whole Ben Reilly was the real Peter Parker all along and Peter was the clone bullshit from the 90's. Also I calling it going to be revealed that Arno Stark used time travel to make the whole thing happened.

[@DocWolph]

It would have been better if they were brothers by blood. Arno was just older and had the suicide gene mussed with by Howard. They go on to work together until sibling rivalry ensues. Arno however is a bit less egotistical than Tony and was a member of Future Foundation (The Reed Richards School for Stupidly Smart Children). After the whole fall out, Arno still looks for a someone to teach, and finds Riri Williams. She is a genius but needs training, and that is what she gets for years, being kept largely under wraps until there came a point where there was no choice. Arno's big goal is to find the Godkiller armor. Why? He never goes into much detail and this causes all sorts of chaos. Eventually Arno puts the search on hold for the time being. *Yes, I Like Riri Williams. But her roll out was clunky

[@LUISPRIME]

DocWolph Or his cousin like the Iron Man 2020.

[@ThatsPrettyFunnyMan]

Arno is a vegetable but has all those muscle mass. And here I am, born normal - has less muscle than him.

[@UnexpectedWonder]

I think it's Greatness.

[@smashmaster521]

How? No, seriously, what is wrong with Tony being adopted? Would you rather have his intellect be something that was programmed into him by 451?

[@jaredm3970]

I can't wait to help decide which direction his content goes in, in the foreseeable future.

[@jamesparr2050]

hey I just wanna ask if you have done the fear itself run. i looked for it in the Playlists but didn't see it so just wondering is all

[@EricDrummondBPCP]

please tell me you're going to cover that next story or did you cover it already? Good stuff

[@mathewgreen2387]

This is mind blowing 😮😮😮

[@nathanaelwiebe7632]

Umm when's the next video in this series coming out?

[@r.p.stardust4010]

Hey rob iam one of your biggest fans and i just wanted you to talk about cosmic armor superman

[@nonachyourbusiness1164]

The song at 8:30 is from BattlefrontUpdates I think

[@TATIANACONTOSO]

1:42 This looks like Emblem of Dragon Destroyer

[@madscientistshusta]

Dyson spheres are so dope i loved the commonweath books!

[@imcintyre01]

I forgot about that!!!!! Also I thought it was further in the past and was retracted so cool!!!!

[@tropic294boi7]

ComicsExplained can you please do lobo vs Thor

[@andreasm3535]

Rob it's time to start doing some Green Arrow runs, starting from the resurrection of the character in the 00's and Lemire's run in New 52.

[@cjblack7677]

My boi it's lit fam

[@jacksonwofford5455]

Lets hope the next video in this series isn't forgotten.... This story is dope! Could anyone give me a reading list? I think I may end up getting these comics.

[@evanabbott2737]

I’ve never been a huge iron man fan but after watching these last two vids I’ve got to admit, this series with the god killer armor and Tony’s secret origin is pretty interesting.👍👍👍

[@ognat5813]

I fucking love these iron man vids man keep doing them

[@smoke126857]

Probably my favorite Iron Man story right here.

[@UltimateZero246]

Where still waiting for Beyond/Omega level: MrPoopyButthole ROB GIVE US WHAT WE WANT!!!

[@realjean1870]

Ultimate ZeroXI he's just to strong to be covered

[@UltimateZero246]

realjean18 MrPoopyButthole > The one above all

[@realjean1870]

Ultimate ZeroXI facts

[@notsosmartguy6254]

He's pretty beast

[@Mysterialic]

Rick & Morty is good but its fandom is trash.

[@Alexis_ctrl_f3]

do The Rundown pleas

[@damienlee54]

This clearly is not everyone's favorite depiction of Iron Man , but of all the Iron Man comics this one really sold me on Stark. This was a good story.

[@ensabahnur7657]

Damn that was a great story!

[@andrewcoates2687]

Can you do a video on Task Master?

[@michaeldelgado5246]

If you want to leave one to get the origin of Tony Stark found out who the adoptive parents are no matter what they say on the cover this is not an origin for Tony Stark

[@jeremiahmyers2362]

I've been enjoying alot of your content and I just recently found a crossover event that was released this year and the first volume will be released in November if your interested. The series is called Green Lantern/Planet of the Apes and it connects the two worlds very well. It would be awesome to see you cover it especially with the lantern content you've been releasing lately.

[@kapwns]

tony stark is the kaiba of marvel

[@G7Striker]

Plz do Darwin for the Omega Level Mutants series and a in-depth explanation of Captain Atom the one who can beat supes

[@jjlnguess7354]

I don’t like the part where Stark isn’t the biological son of Howard and Maria. That is the absolute dumbest thing I’ve ever heard of in a Stark comic. The rest is awesome. But that adoption/secret brother part is pretty much stupid and ruins a lot of it for me. So I’ll take a hard pass on that comic run. And I’ll take RDJ’s movie Iron Man over these comic versions any day. Downey is the main reason Tony Stark/Iron Man has any life at all. And it’s too bad. Because this is such a great character that is handled terribly by soap opera comic book writers. I don’t get why they can’t write a great story arc and series for Stark in the comics.

[@kevinKronnack]

So whats the likelihood of Arno Stark turning on Tony before the end of the arc, What do you think, Admiral Ackbar? "IT'S A TRAP!" I thought so.

[@manof2moro]

I guess Valiant videos didn't get many views. I wanted to learn more of that universe.

[@asgardiangod23]

Henry Navarro right? :(

[@vintagehulk1962]

I really like this story mannnnnnn bro

[@ShakaBlakaZulu]

Hey rob, A lot of love from Israel, wanted to let u know that your videos are the best, love your energy, love your story telling, love your vibe. Keep up the great work, can't wait to see the next iron man story about his brother.

[@antwan1357]

I get the feeling that SOMEONE time travelled back in time and just totally messed up Tony Stark 's life to use him like a tool.

[@smashmaster521]

Funny you mention that, since I plan to do something similar with Tony in one of my fanfics featuring him

[@eddnox]

He realizes this and starts investigating, just to find out: That person is Tony Stark himself. :v

[@Daremonster]

Was it the flash? Oh wait wrong universe

[@OniByFame]

I'm totally reading this!!!

[@BoLDSauce7]

yo rob, long time watcher, new subscriber. these videos are awesome man, don't ever stop with this passion. some of these comments are dumb as fuck, but i hope you read this one. anyway, hope you're excited for infinity war as much as i am! i'll see you at a con one day

[@J_GoTTi]

Mind blowing

[@dumliz]

Bro. Please. Podcast yourself! This really helps with my insomnia and I thank you for it!

[@onebaddstudd1422]

@Rob ce... 54 seconds into this video the lower screen measures the godkiller armor is 25000 ft tall, not 2,000

[@nickambrosini5177]

can you do a start to finish of the marvel universe where all these stories are coming from?

[@HepCatJack]

Arno Stark, the Iron Man of 2020 in two years...

[@mahfoudseraf5995]

yo

[@theepicweeaboo8738]

I wanna see a part three

[@lydan1766]

Why are there no more videos of this comic?

[@InTheBeginningTheUniverseWas]

this video.... is really kinda cool. hehe

[@Nobody-fb7ni]

I don't really like this origin tbh and I think the whole secret brother thing is so cliche and forced. Not just here happened in court of owls too.

[@greatthinkers3537]

cosgrove360 I actually like this but at the same time it's convoluted lol. This is what happens when a character has been written for so long that in order to not have the same story, they gotta go big and retcon lol.

[@randomduck8679]

Wood rene even Thor and spidey have a secret sibling now

[@CorbCorbin]

Wiseau Serious Spider-Man comics had this problem years ago.

[@ErnieLG]

Such a ridic retcon. And the idea that Tony just happens to be a genius engineer exactly like his adopted brother who had to be genetically engineered to get to that level. Huh???

[@UnexpectedWonder]

I think it's Greatness.

[@Prashaantdadmode]

Where is continuation story video after thisvideo?

[@swedishbloke]

Will you do ironmetropolaten or however it’s spelled??

[@knuckle12356]

Emignatic? xD am I hearing it wrong, or was that a slip of the tongue on Rob's behalf? 1:58

[@Angeldnegron]

Could you do a video of the recorder 451 vs ultron?

[@Angeldnegron]

Could recorder 451 hack ultron or the other way around?

[@ravoniesravenshir3926]

You had better give us that Storyline with the Stark Brothers doing their thing... Please :D

[@anon123214]

Definitely gonna buy that. And I'm a DC fan at heart.

[@luthertrenzif904]

Iron Metropolitan next!!
