Maria gives birth, but the baby starts coughing. The doctor tells them the degeneration is halted, but he'll never be able to breathe without medical assistance. They decide they have to keep the baby a secret so 451 will never know.
Tony goes inside the room, where he meets Arno.
Tony says he also found out he was adopted.

But seriously. I truly hope that this storyline plays out in an interesting and logical manner, and that Arno doesn't follow the predictable route of being so enthusiastic and overeager to implement his ideas that he starts as a hero and becomes a villain whom Tony must stop in a heart-breaking climax somewhere about issue #25 or #30. I predict that they'll create an Iron Man type suit to give him freedom and mobility, and eventually they will fight, quite possibly with Arno turning out to be better at...
No, what if, just this once, he's a genuinely decent person who becomes a valuable member of the cast, who adds a new and interesting family dynamic to a character who's never had any decent family in his life.
If that fails, he can team up with Eobard Thawne and "Thomas Wayne" and create a team of "previously unknown secret brothers of superheroes." (Or keep it to the Marvel Universe and team with Grim Reaper and Parnival Plunder and Dog Logan.)

Or it can be like that SUPERMAN/BATMAN story that said Jor-El travelled to Earth and gave Thomas Wayne some technology that became the basis of Wayne Electronics.

Date: 2013-10-23 06:13 pm (UTC)One also has to wonder how, after all the business shenanigans that Tony has been involved in, the fact he's adopted has never once been discovered by anyone?

Either that, or he's another Summers brother.

Date: 2013-10-24 03:22 am (UTC)Arno Stark is interesting, and it might be a neat way to bring in a modern version of Iron Man 2020, since it's only 7 years away at this point there's not really time for Tony to have a grand nephew, but maybe an adoptive brother/successor would work. Plus I'd be pumped to see a modern version of the armor.
Not sure about making Tony adopted though. His genetic heritage has never been too big a part of the character, but there still might be some continuity problems. Worst case scenario is that this ends up like the time Captain America was revealed to have had a brother and a suburban upbringing, and then the next writer retconned it wholesale back to the old way.
