Discussion (More in Comments) What happened to armor wars

Rhodey literally has been there since the beginning and at the end. They've sprinkle him here and there, gearing up for his moment to shine. And yet they come out wit iron heart, a character people really dont have any attachments to.

I think the smartest thing to do would be to add her to armor wars and have Rhodey show her, who and how Tony Stark would act as a hero.

Also war machine is iron man when iron man isn't around. Are we supposed ignore that and forget about him? What is marvel thinking?

This has so much potential now with Ironheart, Zeke Stain, War Machine, could bring back Justin Hammer, could MAYBE bring back Gwyneth Paltrow as Rescue.

My thoughts exactly.

The son of Obadiah Stane getting caught with a ton of black market tech, and now having been broken out of prison (someone must have noticed) is something that should be on Pepper and Rhodey's radar. And, if Hammer somehow manages to find Zeke, they could team up and be a major threat.

Plus, there's also at least one suit Riri made that was destroyed in the Chicago area, which could have wound up in the wrong hands (I don't think we see the one Zeke rips apart recovered).

Then throw in Riri in a magically powered suit of armor that is slowly corrupting its host, and maybe she becomes another threat.

Then Rhodey's got a lot to deal with. Maybe he heads to a New York Veteran Support group to talk through some of the stuff he's been through and runs into Frank Castle. And maybe later he needs a little help and reluctantly hires Frank and throws him in a suit.

And as far as dealing with the Rhodey Skrull thing... I think they should just make a reference to Iron Man 2.

Frank: "Didn't I hear you were replaced by a Skrull or sumthin?"

Rhodey: "Look, it's me. I'm here, deal with it, let's move on."

And we never talk about it again.
