Who will be the next Iron Man?
In an exciting revelation for Marvel fans, Rhodey, also known as War Machine, has been confirmed as the perfect successor to Iron Man in the upcoming Armor Wars series. This decision holds significant weight as Rhodey's character now reflects the same spirit as Stark's. Adding to the intrigue, Rhodey's recent reveal as a Skrull imposter brings an unexpected layer of depth to his character, drawing a parallel to Tony Stark's origin story. 
While other potential candidates like Spider-Man and Ironheart were considered, Rhodey's strong bond of friendship with Stark and his proven capabilities make him the most suitable choice to carry forward the Iron Man mantle in the Armor Wars storyline. It was in the scene of the Secret Invasion that we come to know that Rhodey has been disguised as a Skrull for the longest time.
