A recent episode of What If..? imagined a world where Tony Stark had never become Iron Man. In the comics, there are infinite worlds where alternate versions of Iron Man arose. Some of them are more powerful than others, with a few of them being among the most powerful beings in their respective worlds.

Whether it’s from an alternate timeline or just a different version of Iron Man from Earth-616, these variants of the character represent many divergent possibilities. Some of them are bound to appear in some form in the MCU in the future, making them all the more compelling as the franchise explores a world without Tony Stark.

10 Lord Iron

Lord Iron is the Iron Man of Earth-311, the universe of the 1602 comics where Marvel superheroes exist in an Elizabethan setting. This version of the character is roughly the same in power and ability as the regular Iron Man, though his armor is much more of a steampunk take. With increased strength and armored protection, Iron Lord is well defended against the weapons of the day. He can also fly and generate blasts of energy, even if the tech behind it all is much more analog than his Earth-616 counterpart.

9 Iron Man 2099

Sonny Frisco takes on the mantle of Iron Man in the 2099 universe, one of the darkest Marvel future timelines. While the technology behind his advanced suit of armor is a century ahead of Tony Stark’s, the basic range of powers and abilities are essentially the same. Iron Man 2099 can fly at supersonic speeds as well as generate powerful energy blasts. Sonny Frisco is also extremely intelligent, using his talent for engineering to build the suit of armor himself and earn a place on the Avengers team of 2099 in the process.

8 Exiles

The Tony Stark of Earth-42777 is the despotic ruler of the Earth who brutally killed all superheroes and supervillains, except those that didn’t oppose him like the Inhumans. While the character wears the cloak of Doctor Doom, he doesn’t have the mystical powers of the ruler of Latveria. This character has all the traditional powers of Iron Man but is unfettered by any sense of morality. Cold, uncaring, and driven by pure ego, this version of the character from Exiles #23 is powerful in his capacity for cruelty.

7 Iron Man 2020

Iron Man 2020 is Arno Stark, the descendant of Tony. He’s also very powerful, with an upgraded suit of armor noticeable for its trademark ‘clamps.’ The suit in general is faster and more durable than previous versions of the armor, with an increased potential for energy blasts and speed.

Arno Stark is like many other wearers of the armor exceptionally intelligent. He invented virtually all of the components of his armor, including a weapon called the Flying Star Blade, a detachable projectile device that he can remote control.

6 Ultimate Iron Man

The Iron Man of the Ultimate Comics universe of Earth-1610 is very powerful. With his mind and body altered by exposure to an Infinity Gem, he can physically and mentally interact with any computer system. This blurs the line between man and machine, and also allows him access to virtually any computer system in the world.

He can project his mind into other computers and androids, which allowed him to escape death. His signature Iron Man armor is also very powerful, able to generate force fields and a cloaking field that made him invisible.

5 Iron Goblin

The Iron Goblin from the 2011 Spider-Island storyline is one of the most powerful Green Goblin variants in the comics. This version of Tony Stark benefitted not only from the power and ability of the Iron Man armor but also the Goblin formula. He had superhuman strength, speed, and stamina, as well as a healing factor. Even more, this version of Iron Man wielded the Ebony Blade, one of the most powerful weapons in the Marvel Universe. It was used by Gorr The God Butcher to kill gods in the comics and originates with Knull, the god of the symbiotes.

4 Infamous Iron Man

While the Exiles version of Iron Man didn’t have Doom’s powers, Doctor Doom did have Iron Man’s armor in Earth-616 for a time. The Infamous Iron Man not only possessed the highly advanced armor and all its abilities, but all of Victor Von Doom’s magical abilities. As one of the most powerful Marvel magicians, Doom can manipulate matter and reality. He can also travel between time and space to other dimensions, including mystical planes belonging to characters like Mephisto. Powerful and brilliant, Doom was one of the most powerful Iron Man variants ever.

3 Iron Lantern

Iron Lantern is a fusion of Iron Man and Green Lantern from the Amalgam Comics crossover event between Marvel and DC in 1997. The character combines the powers of both Tony Stark and Hal Jordan, making for a powerhouse superhero who can generate green energy constructs right out of his specially modified suit of armor.

More than that, Iron Lantern was able to time travel and teleport enormous distances across space. He possesses telepathic ability as well, making him extremely powerful.

2 Sorcerer Supreme

There are many powerful variants of Doctor Strange in Marvel Comics, and Iron Man is just one of them. On Earth-9810, Tony Stark becomes the Sorcerer Supreme and builds a suit of Sorcerer Armor. This special set of armor from What If..? #113 combines the technological advancements of Stark and the extraordinary magical ability of Doctor Strange. The armor houses a database of spells onboard and also has the Eye of Agamotto built right in – taking the place of the Arc Reactor – making it one of the most powerful weapons in any dimension.

1 Infinity Warps

The Iron Man from the 2018 Infinity Warps comic book event fused the characters of Iron Man and Thor. This made for one of the most powerful versions of Tony Stark ever. Stark Odinson is an Asgardian with all the inherent physiology, making him very strong and long-lived. He also wields the Mjolniron, a hammer with all the extraordinary power of the regular Mjolnir, such as generating electrical blasts of cosmic dimension. It could also unlock the Iron Hammer armor, a mystical suit Stark wore in his battles to save Earth.
