Muslim transgender trisexuals outraged!

Tony Stark is hanging up his Iron Man suit, but it will be quickly donned by a new hero, a 15-year-old black girl named Riri Williams. And that’s canon.

‘Riri is a science genius who enrolls in MIT at the age of 15,’ Time, which got the scoop, reports. ‘She comes to the attention of Tony when she builds her own Iron Man suit in her dorm.’

The handover will come at the end of Marvel’s comic book event series Civil War II, and was made with TV in mind.

“One of the things that stuck with me when I was working in Chicago a couple of years ago on a TV show that didn’t end up airing was the amount of chaos and violence,” Marvel writer Michael Bendis told Time. “And this story of this brilliant, young woman whose life was marred by tragedy that could have easily ended her life—just random street violence—and went off to college was very inspiring to me. I thought that was the most modern version of a superhero or superheroine story I had ever heard. And I sat with it for awhile until I had the right character and the right place.”

Bendis is also the man behind Jessica Jones, and there's every chance the new Iron Man (Iron Woman? The superhero doesn’t yet have a new gender-appropriate name) will follow her in making the leap to the small or big screen, starved as they are for substantial leading roles for black and female actors right now.
