- MEET THE NEW IRON MAN...SHANG-CHI?!
- A weapons dealer offers up a stolen Iron Man suit to Shang-Chi's organization.
- But will Shang-Chi take it to use in his war against crime.
- And what will Tony Stark have to say about it?!
It would be wise for Shang-Chi to fill Tony in about the stolen suit, as Iron Man usually has no problems allowing his fellow heroes to use his tech - simply for fun in his spare time. But, if Stark finds out Shang-Chi is using his armor without any heads up, he might not take to the news particularly well - especially if it's connected to the Five Weapons Society, who don't exactly have the best reputation in the Marvel Universe, even with the recent shift in control and goals. Still, seeing Shang-Chi in Iron Man armor should be a lot of fun, even if it's not through the most legal means. Shang-Chi #5 is in comic book stores in October.
