Iron Man #1: "The Stark-Roxxon War - Part One: Capital Strike"

[alliterator]

"Tony is in a vulnerable situation coming out of the Fall of X. He just got Stark Unlimited back from the genocidal tech bro Feilong. That wouldn't have left time to replace Feilong's Board of Directors, let alone get Stark Unlimited out of the weapons business that Feilong re-entered. If I was a corporate giant observing this moment of instability in one of the world's most important companies, I would put together a consortium to acquire it, and go to ruthless extremes to make sure I end up with it. I pitched this first arc, 'The Stark-Roxxon War,' as 'How To Blow Up A Pipeline' meets 'Succession.'"

Sure, Stark wouldn't have had much time to re-organise the company. But how long did Feilong have to align it with his interests in the first place? Marvel time being what it is, it feels like Stark Unlimited was only in the Sentinel business for a few weeks! How quickly were the previous board of directors given the heave-ho? Hell, did a villain like Feilong even HAVE a board of directors to gainsay him?
