Marvel’s recent announcement that Robert Downey Jr. will play Doctor Doom in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has led to an increase in buyer demand for comics featuring the character. And, one issue of Marvel Team-Up from 2005 recently sold for $250.
According to ComicBook.com, Marvel Team-Up #2 sold for $250 for a CGC 9.8 copy, well above its face value. The issue marks the first appearance of Iron Maniac, an evil version of Iron Man from Earth-5012. The character’s debut sees him wearing armor that heavily resembles Doctor Doom, with writer Robert Kirkman likely wanting fans to mistake the Iron Maniac for the character. A later issue revealed that it was not Doom but the multiverse variant of the evil Tony Stark, leading fans to wonder if this may be a hint at future stories to come in the MCU.
While the version of Tony Stark made to resemble Doctor Doom is hardly the first evil incarnation of the character, Iron Maniac’s backstory does have a sad connection to the rest of the Avengers. In Iron Maniac’s world, most of the Avengers have been killed after facing the Super Skrull Titannus, and the world is then devastated even further when its version of Reed Richards betrays the rest of Earth’s mightiest heroes.
