Volume 7 & 8\'s portrayal of Ironwood has divided fans. He spends Volume 7 rebuilding Amity Arena at the expense of placing Mantle under military lockdown, while Volume 8 has his struggle against Salem slowly deteriorate into madness and outright villainous actions. Fans in favor of this turn cite it as the natural conclusion of his character arc, with his fatal flaws worsening everything in the long run, and ultimately becoming just as much of a villain as Salem -- sentiments backed up by statements from Miles. Fans who oppose this say that his decisions leap from understandable to nonsensical far too quickly, or are flat out character assassination at worst. Some even place blame on either the heroes who decieve and sabotage him or his vaguely defined Semblance, which could be interpreted as super-nuerodiversity with divisive implications at worst.
