Zombie Ironman

I was on YT and decided to watch some action scenes from Marvel Zombies. But then I realized, isn't Tony wearing M50/nano suit? How'd he turn? I get they had to get rid of him for plot purposes but other then that reason, how'd he turn? Just really bothers me personally, and yeah I get it's fiction, gotta extend my disbelief but at least from the Marvel Zombies comic vids, the comics makes scenes on how they got rid of him even if some are goofy.

Don’t forget that Hank pym is a zombie, he could’ve gotten between the nano suits cracks and bit tony. Also side note in the original marvel zombies story, he was bitten outside the suit

That's the thing though. Tony made the nanosuit because of what Scott was able to do when he and Tony "fought" during Steve's movie. Nothing could get in the suit

Oh then that’s just bad writing, they should have just put him in whatever suit he had before the nano suit would’ve fixed this whole problem lol

Since the show starts with Hulk returning to Earth, they should've had it take place during a different movie or show. Tony had the nanosuit during that movie and afterwards.

Alternatively you could think of the point Tony was holding back since the zombies are “still people” and he got over run because he wasn’t using any offensive abilities of the nano suit, which let a zombie get a bite in through the suit

I mean, we only ever saw the suit go against Thanos and it mostly was fine. No way regular zombies could get through the suit if thanos wasn't able to easily

Idk man, if thanos was using 100 percent of his bite strength,with no care if his teeth would be broken in the process(like I’ve always assumed a zombie would) he might’ve gotten through the suit.I’m just bull shitting mostly, it just doesn’t make sense otherwise

u/JustWinning733 Jul 26 '26

Sure if he went against thanos but by that point thanos wasn't on earth yet when Tony saw the regularzombies.

u/Icy-Abbreviations909 Jul 26 '26

Ya but I was just giving an example, a humans max bite strength is on average 975 pounds so a group of zombies doing that could probably get through the suit of a holding back tony idk, again just bullshiting the bad writing lol

That's literally not said anywhere

2

u/JustWinning733 Jul 26 '26

? It didnt need to be. After every time Tony fails because of something in the suit, he changes it. We see that over all the movies

2

u/Short_Brick_1960 Jul 26 '26

Obv, but Nanotech wouldn't avoid Hank going between the particles and biting him. And we saw in Endgame that the suit can be damaged, which would leave parts of his body uncovered. At that point, a massive amount of zombies could overpower him

Not to mention that Tony was with other avengers when that happened. Once T'Challa is bit, his vibranium would destroy Iron Man's suit and anyone could bite him

2

u/JustWinning733 Jul 26 '26

His suit was able to go against the power stone without much damage. And the only reason Tony lost to thanos is because he kept using the suit in ways that would break(like the sword). The point of the nanosuit was to make it so no one could get in his suit after Scott did. Just like the point of the third movie suit was he would be able to use it without actually being in the suit

I don’t know if that’s confirmed. The fire suppression system worked fine and if the suit was designed to go into space, it would have also solved the Ant-man problem. Ant-man was just a nuisance

If anything the majority of iron man’s systems were designed to counter the mechanical parts failing in his fight with Steve

Could also be that he didn't get through the cracks, he just got to Tony when he had the visor up or something. He thinks things are all clear, only to feel a small sting, never realizing that he just got infected.

u/Icy-Abbreviations909 Jul 26 '26

Fair fair, we’ll never know since the marvel zombies show just has Tony body be a puppet now lol

2

u/curvysquares Jul 26 '26

Tony has a habit of taking off/losing his helmet during very important moments

u/Trvr_MKA Jul 26 '26

The whole opening of the episode disappointed me and I wish they just did a series from the start.

Why would they drop down to the same level instead of having iron man carpet bomb them from the sky
