An awesome cosplay from xbriarwood turns Iron Man's armor medieval, with a hint of magic thanks to a Darkhold-style Avengers tome and a seemingly mystical arc reactor. Tony Stark would approve, given his longtime love of Arthurian legend.
A medieval Iron Man cosplay turns the Armored Avenger into a powerful sorcerer, courtesy of a skilled creator at the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo. But while the comic-book Tony Stark personally hates magic, there's actually a surprising amount of precedent both for the shift in time period and the focus on the mystic arts.
A Chicago-based fan convention celebrating comics, anime, movies, games, television and other assorted pop culture, 'C2E2' enjoys the usual high-quality fan costumes of such a large event, as well as panels and exhibitions.
When it comes to Iron Man's magical prowess, however, comics canon instructs fans to look to the future, not the past, as one potential timeline sees Tony Stark take over from Doctor Strange as the Sorcerer Supreme of the distant future. It's a shocking reveal, but one that makes a certain amount of sense - Tony may hate magic in the modern day, but he's always looking for a new challenge, and the mystic arts would certainly provide that.
Briarwood's medieval Iron Man shows how surprisingly versatile the Avenger's armor can be when creators settle on a theme, finding a fresh way to reimagine a character who has worn everything from frozen 'Ice Age Man' armor in 1,000,000 BC to armor complete with a metal hawk in Ancient Egypt, making it no wonder that cosplayers keep turning to Tony Stark for inspiration.
