History Fanfic / AManOfIron

** Tywin gifts Joffrey with a carbonadium sword forged by Klaue as a wedding present. It's a well forged blade that is also a PoisonousWeapon due to carbonadium's properties. Joffrey being Joffrey, he's not impressed because it's not Valyrian Steel.

** Tony inherited the Stark looks, if not the behaviour. However, his likeness to his cousin Ned is truly apparent when he's angry enough to give you a DeathGlare.
** Jon is apparently [[spoiler: the spitting image of Rhaegar Targaryen, save for his hair and eye colour. Tywin is the only one to spot it, although he does have the excuse that he knew Rhaegar far better and longer than most of the other adult members of the cast]].

** There has also been mention of ComicBook/{{Storm}}, who, according to Logan, is worshiped in the Summer Islands as a living goddess.

** Jaime continues to be very skeptical of all the Marvel characters, having managed to miss all their big moments.

* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: Kevan weakly asks if his brother is jesting when Tywin claims to be cursed - as, the magic kind of curse. It turns that Tywin is [[SurroundedByIdiots so frustrated by his children's stupidity]] that he considers a curse as the only possible reason for his misfortune.

** The Tyrells are working to further their own power in Westeros by allying with the Lannisters as per canon. However, this turns out to be a cover for their real plan of [[spoiler: allying with Magneto, which they've done by raising his and Mystique's children (Margaery and Loras) in order to grant the Blackfyres increased legitimacy and popular support.]]

** And the following have been mentioned and may play a role later on:
*** ComicBook/{{Storm}}, who, according to Logan, is worshiped in the Summer Islands as a living goddess.
*** ComicBook/TheKingpin is another powerful figure in Essos mentioned by Daenerys.

* BloodMagic: In this universe, mutants are made rather than born, via equivalent exchange of a life/lives for their powers. [[spoiler:It turns out to be an ancient Targaryen technique that requires Targaryen blood, a fire and a sacrifice; Dany and Logan's mutant powers are unlocked by the sacrifice on Khal Drogo's funeral pyre, Mystique was born with her blue appearance and shape-shifting abilities due to the death and trauma of the Tragedy at Summerhall, Arya and Gendry are transformed when Magneto burns Vargo Hoat and the Bloody Mummers alive, and everyone in King's Landing with the capacity is effected to various degrees after the wildfire explodes, killing many Dragonstone soldiers who have Targaryen blood in their ancestry. This is also why, up until the Battle of the Blackwater, there were far more mutants in Essos while being almost unheard of in Westeros; Targaryen and Valyrian blood is far more common across the Narrow Sea.]]

* TheCameo: With such a big marvel universe, not every character is going to get a spotlight.
** The introduction of Kraven the Hunter has her fighting one [[{{Expy}} Cursun Connurs]], a Maester who tried to use dragon eggs and greyscale to regrow his arm. It worked, but like in the comics, it turned him into The Lizard.

** Ned rips his wife a verbal new one after [[spoiler:making it back from King's Landing with Tony's help]] for (a)trusting Littlefinger and (b)imprisoning Tyrion.
** Tyrion is ''livid'' when he sees the [[spoiler:"fake" Sansa Stark and tears into his sister and the Small Council for letting the farce proceed unimpeded.]]

** While she hasn't had a chance to express this to his face yet, [[spoiler: Gamora (who was originally Lyanna) is ''pissed'' to find out that Ned not only kept Jon's identity a total secret from everyone, but let him be raised as a bastard, with all the stigma that came with it.]]

** There's plenty of back and forth when [[spoiler: Ned reunites with his resurrected family members. Yondu/Rickard is disappointed that Ned did so little to make the North his own as Warden, while Ned is angry over how his father's Southern politicking undermined their House's clout in the North.]]

* HeroesWantRedheads: Ned and Tony, two of the main three viewpoint Starks (who are, for all intents and purposes, the heroic family), are married to redheads. [[spoiler:Jon, the third, is engaged and later married to one. In fact, of the four Stark men that are currently married or engaged, all of their marriages involve a redhead, with Robb being the odd one out in that he's the redhead rather than his wife]].

** Jon is apparently [[spoiler: the spitting image of Rhaegar Targaryen, save for his hair colour. Tywin is the only one to spot it, although he does have the excuse that he knew Rhaegar far better and longer than most of the other adult members of the cast]].

* StrongFamilyResemblance: Tony inherited the Stark looks, if not the behaviour. However, his likeness to his cousin Ned is truly apparent when he's angry enough to give you a DeathGlare.

** [[spoiler:Ramsay Bolton only shows up in one chapter and is brutally killed at the end of it.]]
