There's a new Iron Man coming to comic books -- and it's not a man.
A black female character is taking over the suit from Tony Stark, Time is reporting. Riri Williams "is a science genius who enrolls in MIT at the age of 15" and "comes to the attention of Tony when she builds her own Iron Man suit in her dorm," according to the magazine.
"Iron Man" writer Brian Michael Bendis told Time the inspiration for Williams came from his time spent working a few years ago on a television show in Chicago. The show did not end up airing, he said, because of the amount of violent content.
