Marvel is teasing that Iron Man's latest armor upgrade will come with an X-Men twist! 

Previews for upcoming collections of Marvel Comics books include the current storyline for Invincible Iron Man, in which Tony Stark has gotten close with The White Queen (Emma Frost), just as the X-Men's mutant nation of Krakoa was obliterated by the anti-mutant organization Orchis, and nearly every mutant was banished from the Earth.

What Is Marvel's Mysterium? 

When the X-Men established their mutant nation of Krakoa, S.W.O.R.D. became a mutant astronautics and orbital defense program, run by Abigail Brand. Brand organized "The Six," a group of mutant teleporters and power boosters/converters who were capable of reaching the very end of creation in order to retrieve an artifact that only exists there: Mysterium. 

Since its discovery and retrieval, Mysterium has proven to be a major game-changer Marvel metal. It's as durable as Adamantium (in its "secondary" form); it's one of the most efficient conductors of electricity ever seen, while also being radiation-proof.  

One of the most distinct things about Mysterium is that it is more resonant with magic than other Marvel metals. Mysterium can instantly break or negate even the most powerful Marvel magic spells – including possession. Its profound effects on magic have shaken up the Marvel magical community, as many sorcerers/supernatural beings (Clea, Selene) are learning how vulnerable it makes them. 

Mysterium is currently viewed as the most valuable material in the galaxy, due to the near-impossibility of obtaining it, its profound powers, and its technological potential. 

With an Iron Man armor made of Mysterium, Tony Stark is about to get an upgrade that makes him ready to face all the threats of the Marvel/X-Men Universe: from Orchis and rival industrialist Feilong to all the mystical threats lurking in the wings.
