    An emboldened, government-sanctioned security chief engineers a media-friendly pretext to justify an assault on the displaced Asgardian community in Oklahoma, manipulating a mentally unstable, near-omnipotent ally into a devastating attack that forces divided heroes to rush to the scene while the collateral damage and moral consequences of the power grab rapidly escalate.

  57. 57. Ironheart

    A brilliant teenage engineering prodigy builds her own suit of powered armor from salvaged parts and steps into the shadow of a legendary hero, navigating fame, government scrutiny, and dangerous adversaries while learning what it truly means to be a hero. Balancing school, family, and the ethical weight of advanced technology, she confronts prejudice, corporate and criminal threats, and her own self-doubt as she forges an identity distinct from the figure who inspired her. The story blends high-tech action with grounded coming-of-age drama as the young inventor grows into her role as protector and symbol.
