The Hood may be a lesser-known villain to casual comic book fans, but his presence in Ironheart easily pitches him into the big leagues.
Not only is he an ideal match for the left-brained Riri; he’s poised to bring a new brand of magic — and a familiar threat — to the MCU.
Parker’s demon gear draws its power from the Dark Dimension.
The longer he wears the hood, Parker’s back and shoulders are increasingly covered by black veins, which he covers up with tattoos.
(Dormammu certainly makes sense, but fan theories suggest that Ironheart is teasing out a much bigger and more powerful villain in Mephisto.)
