Darkhold Iron Man Novels & Stories

"You got tall." He hefted the Hammer. It was a block of black star-metal the size of a cinder block on a bone handle. He held it with one hand, but I could feel the gravity distortion around it. The air rippled when he moved it. "That's a big hammer," I said. "Found it in the basement," Damian grunted. "Figured I'd do some renovations." The remaining four hundred Void Peacekeepers the ones Ironwood had upgraded with black light recovered from the shockwave. They shrieked, a sound like tearing metal, and

“Now, Helena. Go to the office and don’t come out.” Before she could retort, the workshop yard was invaded by a horde of loud, chrome-plated motorcycles. They were the Iron Claws. They hadn’t come to talk; they had come to declare war. About twenty men, wearing grimy denim jackets and eyes bloodshot with fury, circled the area. Their leader, a man with disproportionately broad shoulders named Malphas, dismounted from his machine with a smile that revealed yellowed, sharpened teeth. “Blackwood!” Malphas shouted, his voice dripping with scorn that made Helena’s ears ring. “We heard you found something precious. Something that reeks of a Guardian. Thorne blood doesn’t belong to a trash-heap pac

They were haggard, their skin pale and sallow from a lack of Sombra-vitamins, their eyes darting with the frantic energy of the "Old Human." In the center of the group stood a man in a bulky, hydraulic exoskeleton. It was a crude piece of machinery, powered by a rack of lead-acid batteries that hummed with a different, more mechanical frequency. This was Cassian Ares, the son of Julianna, the "Iron King" of the tunnels.

He fought to push away the hazy quiet of darkness still drifting like a night fog inside him. "Welcome back, Randolph," a voice said from the darkness. A single light above illuminated him, and he stared down at his body. He was seated in some sort of chair, but his hands and wrists were clapped in iron manacles. The one metal that a dragon's strength could not break. Dragons were weakened by iron just as silver affected vampires, werewolves, and other magical kin.

It wasn't a drone. It was a man. Dante Thorne stood at the edge of the courtyard, his "Void-Titan" armor completely gone, his body covered in the gray ash of the unmade world. He didn't have his wings, and his red eye was gone—but in his right hand, he held a massive, jagged piece of the Vane-Absolute’s steering column. A piece of rusted iron from the old world. He didn't look at my father. He didn't look at the towers. His grey eye locked onto me, and for the first time in this reset reality, a slow, dangerous smile spread across his face.

But he absolutely refused to aggressively die entirely in the pitch-black darkness. He aggressively grabbed the heavy, industrial-grade iron muzzle entirely from the putrid mud. He violently tightened his completely mangled, actively bleeding right hand entirely around the thick, rusted metal bars. Kiara Rathore explicitly stole his two point five billion dollar empire. She actively stripped away his microscopic shred of human dignity. She aggressively tried to completely silence him permanently.

This was the Iron Bastion, the flagship of the Iron-Sovereign League. As it hovered over the Grand Rink, a massive ramp lowered, and five figures stepped out. They were encased in armor that seemed to be welded directly to their skin—a brutalist fusion of flesh, piston, and dark-matter plating. Their leader, a giant known as Malak the Unyielding, stepped onto the ice. His every footfall sent a shockwave through the valley. He didn't have golden eyes; his eyes were glowing red slits of focused, industrial intent.

"Drop the detonator, little mutt. You’re playing with a lineage you don’t even have the capacity to understand." The High Human leader didn't move. He just stood there, his white robes barely stirring in the recycled air of the chamber. His face was a map of translucent skin and pulsing blue veins, but his eyes were ancient gold. Victor's thumb hovered over the trigger of the final EMP grenade. His knuckles were raw, the skin split across the joints. Blood dripped from his fingertips, staining the hilt of his broken gladius.

She has no idea I've been using it for something else entirely. Something that might save my life. I've been researching Tony Stark whenever Alex and Sarah leave the house. At first, I was terrified I'd find nothing, that Sarah was right about him being just a fantasy my damaged brain created. But he's real. Anthony Edward Stark, billionaire businessman, owner of Stark Industries. He exists. The photos online don't look exactly like the man from my dreams, but close enough to make my heart race. Same dark hair, same intelligent eyes, same confident smile. Either my subconscious picked up on his image somewhere, or the dreams were real somehow.

We are a throat waiting to close. Draven Holt makes sure I see him. He stands atop a ridge of snow, broad-shouldered, dark hair bound with a leather cord, eyes like coals banked deep. Red paint slashes his cheekbones. He’s younger than Varek, hungrier, the kind of man who thinks rage alone can make him king. He lifts his arms like a priest.
