Iron Man #639 (14)

BEHOLD THE BIRTH OF COSMIC IRON MAN! Iron Man has tasted a higher power and is forever changed. Moments before, he was locked in mortal combat with his worst adversary in years—KORVAC—but now he finds his very existence altered beyond recognition. Indeed, fundamental concepts like space and time have taken on a new meaning. But what does this portend for Tony Stark, a man who even when stripped bare feels he knows best? What happens when his ego—often challenged, condemned and even derided by both foes and friends—is suddenly given a limitless avenue? It could certainly mean radical and drastic change for the entire universe...and reality itself.
