back in the time when his partner was a white guy named Power Fist. For these people to act surprised he is black is silly. Then again, for those who complain, Captain America handed his title to Falcon, who he knew FOR YEARS, and Tony Stark realized he needed to hand his armor to someone after his best friend Jim Rhodes died. Me personally, I hope Riri ditches the Iron man label and revives the mantle of possibly the best Black superhero in Marvel, the late, GREAT, War machine. Jim Rhodes would be proud.
