Spoilers for Invincible Iron Man #2 by Marvel ComicsMarvel's Ironheart just gained a power upgrade that's taken directly from an MCU hero, as Riri Williams shows off what she's capable of with Shang-Chi's Ten Rings. In Invincible Iron Man #2 by Marvel Comics, Ironheart uses the Ten Rings to enter a villain's mind, as Iron Man expresses serious concerns about her gaining one of the strongest powers in the Marvel Universe.
In Invincible Iron Man #2 by Gerry Duggan, Juan Frigeri, Bryan Valenza, and VC's Joe Caramagna from Marvel Comics, Iron Man s Ironheart on a mission after the two armored heroes get notified 911 calls are coming from the old Avengers Mansion. After encountering the Living Laser, who nearly kills Iron Man, Ironheart reveals she's equipped the Ten Rings to give herself a considerable power upgrade, which she uses to fight against the villain and go inside his mind to figure out his true motives.
Ironheart's Power Upgrade Comes From Shang-Chi's Ten Rings
Ironheart's latest power upgrade comes from the Ten Rings, as Iron Man entrusted his former protégé with the powerful alien tech after using his vast fortune to purchase some of the deadliest weapons in the Marvel Universe to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands. Riri Williams is employing the powerful rings as a hero, using the MCU version of Shang-Chi's weapons to upgrade herself and gain powers on a cosmic level. However, Iron Man quickly shows regret in giving Ironheart the Ten Rings, fearing what she might do with their vast powers.
Ironheart shows off her powers with the Ten Rings as she takes Iron Man and herself inside the mind of the Living Laser, where they find out the truth and subsequent misunderstanding about why he was going after Iron Man. Riri Williams then uses the Ten Rings to rebuild the melted statue of the Avengers, which took damage during the Living Laser's attacks. It's quite an impressive upgrade for Ironheart, as Shang-Chi's Ten Rings from the MCU give the powerless comic book hero many new abilities.
While Ironheart's use of the Ten Rings makes her an even more powerful hero, Iron Man has to be nervous about Riri Williams potentially being corrupted by the great cosmic weapons - as Tony Stark knows a thing or two about god-like powers' potentially deadly influence. Readers can see Ironheart use Shang-Chi's Ten Rings in Invincible Iron Man #2 by Marvel Comics, which is in comic book stores now.
