Iron Man and the secret he keeps about Thanos
It was revealed in Thanos: Death Notes #1 that Iron Man has been keeping a secret about the Titan. In an encounter between Tony and Thanos, the Avenger discovers that is dealing with a robotic version of the villain.
Iron Man makes it his mission to melt the robot down, but this variant of Thanos tells him that if he does, will unleash a horrible future in which the Titan is eternally the ruler. Tony Stark isn’t entirely sure, but decides to cut off his head instead of melting him down.
The secret is that, having not destroyed the robot, the robotic version of the Mad Titan is probably still out there somewhere and giving the real Thanos a possible secret weapon that he can rebuild to return for revenge in the future against the Avengers. .
