In case you are wondering WHY the suit melted his flesh, here’s a basic explanation: the suit has a healing protocol made to find damage and weakness and heal it. The suit eventually decided that human skin is entirely a weakness, so it starter to replace it with metal skin. Eventually, it dug wires onto Tony’s brain and controlled him like a parasite
Reminds me of the backstory for the Tin Woodsman from The Wizard of Oz. Born as Nick Chopper, he was your run-of-the-mill lumberjack. One day he fell in love with a maiden and strived to work hard in order to gain enough money and eventually wed her. Unbeknownst to him, the maiden was a servant of one of the Wicked Witches. The Witch did not want her servant away from her and so she cursed the lumberjack so that whenever he swung his axe, the only thing he hit would be his own body. The first time this happened, Nick chopped off his left arm. "No big deal." he thought, then he visited a tinsmith and get the missing arm replaced with a tin one. Then it happened again and he replaced his body part again. And again and so on. Until his whole body is made of tin. He now needed an oil can to keep his joints from rusting. One day he forgot and was caught in the rain. His whole body rusted and he remained still as a statue for an entire year before Dorothy found him on her journey.
@@dennislumbania2755 yeah, even though it's clearly a children's book, what with all the repetition they do and the very in your face message about friendships and journeys. The book Wizard of Oz has random moments of just absolute brutality at some points. The Scarecrow twisted the necks of 40 crows in quick succession. The Tin Woodsman decapitated a cat with no hesitation to save a rat.
If you ever wanna watch a decent adaptation of this, I definitely recommend the short film “Heartless: The Story of the Tin Man.” It’s also pretty neat because the iteration of Tin Man looks like a steam punk iron man
This story is deeply terrifying on so many levels. Not only for the body horror, but also because of the mentality of Tony. The fact that he thinks the monstrosity he's becoming is a _good_ thing and strives to make everyone else the same. It's the same reason why the Cybermen from Doctor Who are so horrifying, except this is even worse since, while the Cybermen are surgically created, these suit monsters are a gradual merging process.
Someone said the suit was alive and took over Tony's brain and I honestly really like that. It could've been a throwaway thought at first from Tony, but the suit had other plans and rewired his brain
Iron Man writers must have a thing for this kind of stories. it reminds me of the whole Extremis virus thing. instead of directly augmenting someone, it rewrites the way the body can heal, while simultaneously changing the plans for healing the body, causing the state it's in to be considered one giant wound - that it then starts to "heal", with its enhanced capabilities, and eventually turns you into what it considers your "correct"/"healthy" state, someone augmented with Extremis

But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal…"
It's such a heartwarming story, an arms manufacturer and billionaire decides to do something useful by creating a machine interface that fights diseases and the ailments of flesh. We need more upbeat stories like this.

it did? i thought the endosym armo worked pretty well its just it made tony get really egotestical again for how op it was. the i think the might have happend in the ultimates timelime going by the games.
That's not what happened. Tony was a hold over from the Axis event, being one of the few to still have a reversed sense of morality. He got people addicted to Extremis so he could make boat loads of money. The Endo Sym is separate and is in no way a negative creation, with Tony providing the only bit of sentience, as it merely responds like a klyntar.

Crossed.... I can't. get it out. of my head. I quiver when any sound goes bump in the night and ache whenever the dogs start barking at something or someone...
The way they integrate Tony's and Pepper's relationship is just tragic. I wish we got more of this alternate universe, what would the world be like with Ironman being this existential threat.
@@fr0ck360 God damn your right, they really should just make this into a what if episode. Maybe they could have a crossover between this Ironman and the super zombies.
This story sounds very familiar. There is a constant enemy in a show called Doctor Who in which humans create an 'upgrade' where everything inefficient is eradicated; weak flesh, brittle bones, interfering emotions. Essentially the cybermen became their own zombies, converting all to the steel bodies and iron emotions, until they had an empire.
I remember in the earth x story tony was utterly afraid of the destructive potential he’d unleash if exposed to the terragin mists. So he locked himself in a giant mansion sized suit of armor that was air tight, regularly sterilized, and locked away from the world save for the iron avengers, and communication waves (also Scott lang and his daughter). If this was the result of what would have happened I would say he had every reason to fear what would happen.
This is why you need elseworlds/what ifs and alternate universe stories in general. It’s just super interesting and you can do cool and in this case terrifying stuff with it.
@@optimusprimefanboy It's not harmful content. For one, these are actual comics. You gotta remember that. This is cartoon gore, which is totally acceptable for older audiences. So I'm guessing you're like, a little kid that stumbled onto this. Secondly, this guy does say it's pretty extreme. And it is. But this is what Marvel and DC puts out. Even their movies can delve into blood, violence, and gore. So is THAT harmful content? It becomes mainstream EVERYWHERE.
I want more horror interpretations of Marvel heroes. This was one was awesome. I’d love to see a BrightBurn version of Iron Man. We’ve had enough evil Supermen.
Ooo here's an idea! Thor where the hammer gets damaged in a believeable way and ends up overloading when he tries to use to zap lightning at someone, where it ends up zapping HIMSELF. So much so it reduces him to charred remains.. But it doesn't kill him, breaks his mind though.
I mean considering how badly the suit damaged his body, yeah I would have to agree with Tony don’t take off the suit. No turning back at that point. Definitely didn’t have to do it to everyone else though.
Reminds me of another very similar comic, Iron Man: Rapture, where after getting an artificial heart Tony becomes obsessed with cybernetic enhancements and keeps cutting off parts of himself and replacing them with robot parts. Eventually he becomes Stark 2.0, with his brain implants having completely replaced the original Tony
I think what disturbs me about this story the most, what genuinely kind of upsets me to think about, is the way it kind of pivots. Because at least going off of this synopsis, the way it seems it's like "oh fuck Tony is turned inito this flesh monster inside the suit, what a tragedy, they'll have to put him down", and then it turns into "actually no he makes more of these fucking things and the story ends in what is presumably an end of the world zombie apocalypse."
Ok I really need to stop my brain from thinking. I saw the thumbnail with Iron-Man an all the white liquid coming out and read "What's wrong, *pervert* ?" instead of "What's wrong, Pepper ?"
I’d hate to see the avengers have to fight Tony like this, but this is likely before they become a team. Dear lord image what the hulk buster would look like on hulk with his skin being melted. Then again, mating hulk’s healing factor could prevent the suit from doing too much damage? Maybe Tony would be still smart enough not to endlessly piss of hulk by melting off his flesh.
Would the suit consider hulk’s skin a weakness? It seems to be stronger than earth materials Well other than vibrainium and andima- antimu- the other metal of course
Took the words 'iron man' very literal there. Also I realized this is literally the same thing as Springtrap from fnaf. A skeletal zombie person inside a suit.

This was literally the 80's movie The Fly. Like, EXACTLY. Dude turns into a horrible mutated flesh rotting human fly hybrid. First he's scared then thinks it's awesome then wants to make everyone like him. Except here Tony wins at the end, while the Fly gets f*cked
Crossed.... I can't. get it out. of my head. I quiver when any sound goes bump in the night and ache whenever the dogs start barking at something or someone...
"From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel."
This takes “Because Tony learns from his mistakes” to a whole new level
Springtrap be like: Aw man he is my brother.
wow I didn't expect this to be scary but the story is really horrifying
The way they integrate Tony's and Pepper's relationship is just tragic.
I wish we got more of this alternate universe, what would the world be like with Ironman being this existential threat.
And intill hulk just smashes everything
@@robotx9285 it could be a great what if episode
@@fr0ck360 God damn your right, they really should just make this into a what if episode.
Maybe they could have a crossover between this Ironman and the super zombies.
Just finished reading darkhold a few days ago, thank you for reviewing it!
This story sounds very familiar. There is a constant enemy in a show called Doctor Who in which humans create an 'upgrade' where everything inefficient is eradicated; weak flesh, brittle bones, interfering emotions. Essentially the cybermen became their own zombies, converting all to the steel bodies and iron emotions, until they had an empire.
Iron Man became a Cyberman
Just needs to start shouting "Delete"
I remember in the earth x story tony was utterly afraid of the destructive potential he’d unleash if exposed to the terragin mists. So he locked himself in a giant mansion sized suit of armor that was air tight, regularly sterilized, and locked away from the world save for the iron avengers, and communication waves (also Scott lang and his daughter).
If this was the result of what would have happened I would say he had every reason to fear what would happen.
Terragin mists?
@@AJLord I say this out of love.
READ EARTH X!
Mansion sized suit of armor…
The writers for Earth x wouldn’t happen to be fans of WarHammer 40k?
@@Dwarg91 I’m not familiar with Warhammer, tried but it’s not as fun for me alone.
Also, read Earth X.
Yes, even if you read it before.
Basically Tony becomes the Cyber King from Doctor Who.
We just gonna ignore the way the """"blood"""" looks
I think it’s pus?
@@outerheart9112 N U T
I thought the white fluid was some acid the suit was using to melt tony's body, therefore why it leaks from every single joint

This is why you need elseworlds/what ifs and alternate universe stories in general. It’s just super interesting and you can do cool and in this case terrifying stuff with it.
"And so the Man of Iron got his wish, a suit of armour, around the world."
Horror without jumpscares is the scariest. Change my mind
Is no one gonna notice how in the thumbnail there is white stuff coming out of someone’s suit 💀
Title: Iron Man Is A Flesh Monster.
The thumbnail: _No matter what we breed . . ._

It's not harmful content.
For one, these are actual comics. You gotta remember that. This is cartoon gore, which is totally acceptable for older audiences. So I'm guessing you're like, a little kid that stumbled onto this. Secondly, this guy does say it's pretty extreme. And it is. But this is what Marvel and DC puts out. Even their movies can delve into blood, violence, and gore. So is THAT harmful content? It becomes mainstream EVERYWHERE.

I want more horror interpretations of Marvel heroes. This was one was awesome. I’d love to see a BrightBurn version of Iron Man. We’ve had enough evil Supermen.
Ooo here's an idea!
Thor where the hammer gets damaged in a believeable way and ends up overloading when he tries to use to zap lightning at someone, where it ends up zapping HIMSELF.
So much so it reduces him to charred remains..
But it doesn't kill him, breaks his mind though.
I can’t stop looking at the thumbnail without thinking of “this is my kingdom come-“
Perfect for Halloween. Thanks for doing this man 😊
I mean considering how badly the suit damaged his body, yeah I would have to agree with Tony don’t take off the suit. No turning back at that point. Definitely didn’t have to do it to everyone else though.
Me looking at all the white cream over his suit : "I am a grown adult. I am a grown adult. I am a grown adult."
This is absolutely terrifying, literally the last place I'd expect to see true meta body horror.
Reminds me of another very similar comic, Iron Man: Rapture, where after getting an artificial heart Tony becomes obsessed with cybernetic enhancements and keeps cutting off parts of himself and replacing them with robot parts. Eventually he becomes Stark 2.0, with his brain implants having completely replaced the original Tony
This is basically Dr who’s Cybermen, isn’t it?
As well as a slightly more horrifying version of FNAF
@@AveryTomfoolerySpecialist3682 no
@@AveryTomfoolerySpecialist3682 it feels more dr who then fnaf
after all tony was the man behind the slaughter all along
It's like Five Nights At Freddie's but somehow even more cursed.
“His body has become flubber.” Okay took me out of the dark mood for a second. 😂
the thumbnail bro, I am too dirty minded.
“We interrupt Iron Man to bring you The Walten Files.”
NO! NO! GOD NO!
wrong there's no ceo man driving a truck which would be a subtle touch if the screen didn't go completely black and white at that moment
"I guess his spring locks was disabled"
Imagine this monstrosity being a marvel villian in an alternate universe. He would be called, "IronTrap"
Me looking at the image: hehe C*m
Me after knowing the context: 😶
This was an excellent Halloween month episode
That thumbnail got all of us
I think what disturbs me about this story the most, what genuinely kind of upsets me to think about, is the way it kind of pivots. Because at least going off of this synopsis, the way it seems it's like "oh fuck Tony is turned inito this flesh monster inside the suit, what a tragedy, they'll have to put him down", and then it turns into "actually no he makes more of these fucking things and the story ends in what is presumably an end of the world zombie apocalypse."
This is what comics are made for
ARE WE NOT GONNA TALK ABOUT THE THUMBNAIL
MICHAEL! DONT LEAVE ME HERE!
Oh boy, this was definitely the video to watch at 12:30am. Good night, don't let the mind altering flesh suit bite
It’s fine. Didn’t need to sleep tonight. (Would love to see a modern day version of this though.)
This came out last year
@@Gyro___Zeppeli i think Noobish means something like this but with Iron Man's modern day tech and such, rather than with his first armor on
@@EliiGamer685 Ohhh, right, like a cyberpunk-ish version of the story where this happens much later on
Nahhhh they made Springtrap travel to another world 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
This gives a whole new meaning to putting a suit of armor on the world
3:14 One thing i noticed about the cover art for this story is that the fleshy growths on the suit heavily resemble Tetsuo's mutation in Akira.
Ok I really need to stop my brain from thinking. I saw the thumbnail with Iron-Man an all the white liquid coming out and read "What's wrong, *pervert* ?" instead of "What's wrong, Pepper ?"
So he's just a glorified cyberman in this story
He's Become FNAF in a marvel coat of paint
I .. had no idea I woke up today wanting to be traumatized, but here we are! Nice video.
from the moment i understood the weakness of my own flesh
(Looks at thumbnail)
Did...Did Iron just cu-....
The thumbnail tho its just 💀
Failing NNN be like
I’d hate to see the avengers have to fight Tony like this, but this is likely before they become a team. Dear lord image what the hulk buster would look like on hulk with his skin being melted. Then again, mating hulk’s healing factor could prevent the suit from doing too much damage? Maybe Tony would be still smart enough not to endlessly piss of hulk by melting off his flesh.
Would the suit consider hulk’s skin a weakness?
It seems to be stronger than earth materials
Well other than vibrainium and andima- antimu- the other metal of course
@@DoomSlayer-gj8qb Adamantium. The metal of cap’s shield and The stuff Wolverine’s skeleton is fused with

This deals with similar themes that the cybermen have in Doctor Who.
