Iron Man’sAsgardian “Iron Destroyer” armor has received a powerful redesign thanks to amazing fan artfrom the online artist Kobe Abdo. When Odin Borson’s fearmongering older brother, Cul Borson aka the Serpent, invaded Earth, Tony Stark forged a new set of armor from the Nidavellirian mystical metal known as uru. The resulting armor was imbued with the same magical properties that other uru-forged weapons, like Mjölnir, are known for.
First shared on Instagram by Kobe Abdo (@bosslogic), this fan art redesign serves as a potential what-if of what could be for extended comic book media, oftentimes being confused online with official concept art. The artist’s depiction of the Iron Destroyer armor emphasizes Iron Man’s full creative and ingenious capabilities as both a hero and an inventor, inspiring fans to think about the armor’s full capabilities, if Tony Stark hadn’t scrapped it so early.
With Thor currently struggling to combat the dark influence of an Elder God in the comics, Stark may soon have to rebuild his magical armor.

As imagined in Kobe Abdo’s art, his version of the mystical armor fully shows the original armor’s deadly energy beam as well as similar magical mandalas that Doctor Strange is seen employing in the MCU.
Based on the Asgardian sentinel weapon known simply as the “Destroyer,”the Iron Destroyer armorwas infused with Odin’s divine will, making it nearly indestructible. However, past that detail, the armor was never actually seen used in battlem despite the considerable build-up that led to its creation. Assuming the armor was equipped with the same spectrum of powers the Destroyer possesses, such as an adaptable energy beam powerful enough to cut through uru or obliterate entire planets,the Iron Destroyer armor would be fully capable of harnessing Asgardian magic, especially that ofthe Power of the All-Father.
As imagined in Kobe Abdo’s art, his version of the mystical armor fully shows the original armor’s deadly energy beam as well as similar magical mandalas that Doctor Strange is seen employing in the MCU. However,just as it was for Tony Starkduring theFear Itselfevent, the Iron Destroyer could only be wielded momentarily. Powered by the life force of others,the original Destroyerusually dominates the will of its power sources with its own, so it could be assumed that the Iron Man armor would possess a similar drawback.
Tony Stark May Need To Bring Back The “Iron Destroyer” Armor To Face The Marvel Universe’s Next Great Threat

Thanks to Kobe Abdo’s amazing fanart depicting a revamped version of the Iron Destroyer armor, maybe Marvel will get a little inspiration to bring the near-invincible suit back.
While the MCU will most likely never seea proper Tony Stark Iron Managain, or any major plots regarding Asgard and its many villains, the comics are an entirely different story. InAl Ewing’s currentImmortal Thorseries, Thor and Hercules have been preparing to stop an all-out apocalyptic event spearheaded by the Elder Gods Gaea and Utgard-Loki. However, after Thor’s nephew, Zeus, was resurrected with the powers of another Elder God sibling, Utgard-Thor, his mind and soul were twisted with the same malevolent power the other Elder Gods’ plan on releasing.
If there was ever a better time to see the return of the Iron Destroyer armor in the comics, it would be now; if the Marvel Universe can survive the currentlyongoing apocalypticVenom War, it may have to face another of godly proportions again soon after. And thanks to Kobe Abdo’s amazing fanart depicting a revamped version of the Iron Destroyer armor, maybe Marvel will get a little inspiration to bring the near-invincible suit back to giveIron Manand the Avengers an edge when the wrath of the Elder Gods finally reach Earth.
