Not new to the scoop, KC Walsh reports a tasty indiscretion on Ironheart : according to this rumor, in fact, the antagonist of the series will be none other than Parker Robbins , aka Hood .
“So they’re really going to put Hood in Ironheart , magic versus mechanics,” says Walsh , commenting on a tweet about the many “mystical objects that give powers” in the Marvel Cinematic Universe . We recently saw Shang-Chi rings and Ms. Marvel ‘s bracelet in this category.
So they really are putting The Hood in #Ironheart, magic vs mechanics https://t.co/SFgQ5dGWuu

Hood also makes use of magical items. Created by Brian K. Vaughan , Kyle Hotz and Eric Powell in The Hood no. 1 (July 2002), Parker Robbins is a petty criminal who kills a Nisanti demon when he breaks into a shed to steal something. With nothing but preparations for a magical ritual, Parker steals the demon’s hood and boots, which he discovers to be endowed with powers: the boots allow you to levitate, while the hood makes the wearer invisible as long as they hold their breath. . Hood then becomes the leader of a powerful crime syndicate, challenges Kingpinand collaborates with Norman Osborn . The cape, however, is mystically linked to Dormammu .
We don’t know how credible that rumor is, but it would be interesting to see a budding superhero like Riri Williams ( Dominique Thorne ) confront Hood . On the other hand, even at the origins of Iron Man there was a clash between magic and technology: in the comics, his first opponent was the Mandarin .
As you know, Riri will build the most advanced armor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since Tony Stark , using reverse engineering. He will debut in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever , whose promo art allowed us to see the MIT student’s Mark I armor . The series will be released on Disney + , and will consist of six episodes.
We will keep you posted.
