Vs. Iron Man: Salvation - Comic-Con 2012

I am Iron Man.

With the awesomeness that was The Avengers still latched on to many fanboys minds, the wait for the next Iron Man installment cannot come any sooner. Marvel is labeling Iron Man 3 as the film that will propel Phase-Two of their Marvel Cinematic Experience. Audiences have less than a year to wait, but until the first teaser debuts, Marvel decided to grant us our first look into the project by way of concept art.

What exactly is happening to Tony here. Well, this could be a vague glimpse into a possible new Iron Man suit. As shown in the previous films, each sequel (including The Avengers ) tried to one-up each other with it's ingenuity in finding cool and clever methods of getting the armor on Stark. The Mark V portable suit armor contained within a briefcase started this and the Mark VII in the climatic battle against the Chitauri was pretty sweet as well.

Some are speculating that Tony is summoning the Extremis Armor to his aid. Extremis and it's inner parts are stored (by way of some highly advanced nano tech) in the hollows of his bones, enabling him to call forth and control the suit with just his mind. Others are saying it may also be the Bleeding Edge Armor, which in other words is a more kickass version of Extremis. Plus, the name alone trumps the former. Bleeding Edge?! How insane is that?! 

If you thought the concept art was the real scoop here, you're half wrong...or right (depends on how you look at it). The real goods here is the jackass on the right coming towards Stark with vengeance on his mind. Take a real good look... Closer, closer, CLOSER! It's Christian 'John Fucking Connor' Bale straight out of Terminator: Salvation. If you couldn't deduce by my post title, then a healthy dose of BJ from Scarlet Johansson for me (that's blueberry juice if you were thinking otherwise, which of course, you weren't) pat on the back for me. Apparently, Connor, all screwed up in that skull of his with all the prophecies and time fucks he was subjected to throughout the years, has gravely mistaken Iron Man for a Terminator! Please Tony, just hand his ass to him.

Connor: You killed my mother.... you killed my father.... but you won't kill m..... Stark: No I didn't you time warped dick!

Also of note, check out this crazy cool shot of all the Iron Man suits from the movies he's been featured in thus far.

Tony: What to put on today.... *sigh* it's tough being me.
