BOOM! I love this image. It’s a perfect combination of dramatic pose, lighting, and the suspense of wanting to know what this promo is all about. My guess it has something to do with some of that art we saw a year or so ago featuring Iron Man in a Captain America inspired suit.
We’ll find out when Marvel sends more info, but until then, enjoy the image directly from the Mike Deodato, Jr.

$5 says its Steve Rogers.
$5 says this is the What If? title announced a while ago…;)
Good call. It must be a Tony Stark style “keep him alive” angle.
Yeah, Marvel’s got a habit of releasing these teaser images to get readers speculating about future 616 developments, when it’s really a ploy to frum up interest for their What If? tales. I don’t see a reason to suspect this is 616 related.
“Fool me once” and all that.
josh: Now you are thinking like a smart comic reader
I guess no one follows interviews or whatnot as closely as I do, but the Iron Patriot mystery is something that Quesada and Bendis have both mentioned ties heavily into the upcoming Dark Avengers series. So I guess the Iron Patriot is a Dark Avenger.
@preston
I stopped following Joey Q & Bendis’ interviews a while ago. I get to worked up when I start thinking about the ridiculous shifts to the “status quo” without ever having taken the time to explore what is actually going on with the main characters. Can anyone tell me if World War Hulk actually happened? Or is it one of those House of M type things?
marvel events are like my uncle at Thanksgiving
he screws everything up every year, but we keep inviting him back and pretend nothing has ever happened
as long as Marvel stays out of the bathroom with me like in 1994, we’ll be fine
Everybody has it completely wrong and are soooooo offbase it isn’t even funny. As soon as we unmask him you will see that it is none other than Red Herring!!!!!!!!
He would have gotten away with it if it wasn’t for those kids and the funny lookin dog!
its prolly that time-traveling skrull Cap
Harry Osborne or Stark gone mad again.
God someone fire someone or hire someone to fire people, because marvel just doesn’t know what’s good or bad and keeps shoveling out whatever they can think of in the hopes people will give them money.
It’s ol’ Gobby! Don’t let his new tricks fool you. The the heart of all mad men is an even greener crazy man!
I say it’s the 1950’s “Dark” Captain America…the nut who’s know as “The Grand Director”…he recently showed up in the Captain America series as a tool of the Red Skull. He disappeared after the Red Skull storyline concluded after battling Bucky the New Cap.
It’s Norman Osborn!
