In What If…? Season 2, Marvel explores a universe where Tony Stark never returned to Earth after the events of The Avengers. Instead, he crash-lands on Sakaar, the gladiator-filled planet seen in Thor: Ragnarok.
Who is Sakaarian Iron Man?
This version of Tony Stark adapts to Sakaar’s harsh environment, using scrap materials to build a powerful suit of armor influenced by the planet’s unique technology. Instead of his usual sleek design, the Sakaarian Iron Man suit resembles the makeshift battle gear of Sakaar’s warriors, blending high-tech weaponry with gladiatorial aesthetics.
How Does It Change the Story?
- Stark becomes a warrior instead of a billionaire tech genius.
- He forms unexpected alliances with Sakaarian fighters.
- The suit integrates alien tech, making it vastly different from traditional Iron Man armor.
This episode showcases Tony Stark’s genius in a fresh way, proving he can survive even the most unpredictable circumstances.
