Marvel's New Female Iron Man is Named Ironheart

Can she just get a superhero name that has no "Iron" in it? Maybe that will expand more choices that Ironheart, which is decent but not really as interesting of a name tbh.
 
Licensing and legal issues given you know the band

It's a cool name, but they really don't need to have iron in the name if they don't want to. They didn't need it for Rescue.
 
Again so what.

Hulk was a a word before The Incredible Hulk but WWF still had to work out something with Marvel so Hogan could use it back in the 80s

You see a ton Marvel credits in Hogan related games and stuff

I think that is because he specifically made reference to Lou Ferigno's Hulk in a Regis interview back in the day. Something about Regis telling Hogan he is "bigger than The Hulk" and Hogan said "I'm the real Hulk, brother"
 
That's how it is for pretty much every notable mantle at Marvel. Even War Machine was essentially another guy in a suit.

If she replaced War Machine she'd at least have a few years before they'd ressurect rhodey

replacing iron man, and not even really replacing iron man at that (doom's doing that) just sets her up for obscurity once the TONY'S BACK push begins in a year or two

That really depends on the reception the character gets and even then she could end up on a team or as a supporting character. Either way the character will be getting some time in to spotlight to build an audience.
 
Come to think of it, Iron Maiden was already used. On mobile so can't be arsed to post a pic, but Toni Stark went by Iron Maiden in the Marvel Mangaverse, whatever Earth designation that was.
