Marvel’s What If? 204 What if Iron Man Crashed Into The Grand Master? Synopsis

Executive Produced by: Bryan Andrews, A.C. Bradley, Brad Winderbaum with Kevin Feige

Head Writer: A.C. Bradley

Episode Written by: A.C. Bradley

Episode Directed By: Bryan Andrews

In 2012, Tony Stark saves New York by redirecting a nuclear missile towards the Chitauri mothership, but the wormhole closes before he can return to Earth. Stark crash-lands on Sakaar and is forced to stay by its ruler, the Grandmaster. 

Tony interferes in a death race to save one of the racers, Korg, and encounters Gamora, who was sent by Thanos to kill Stark for stopping the Chitauri. The Grandmaster’s chief enforcer, Topaz, imprisons Gamora and Stark. Stark escapes, but upon learning of Gamora’s purpose, decides to save Sakaar from the Grandmaster. 

Tony recruits Korg and Valkyrie, builds a new Iron Man suit and challenges the Grandmaster to a race for the title of Sakaar’s ruler. The Grandmaster uses numerous cheating methods, but Stark ultimately wins the race. 

Valkyrie crashes into Topaz to save Stark’s life, causing her staff to hit and melt the Grandmaster. After Valkyrie is crowned king of Sakaar, Stark joins Gamora in confronting Thanos. 

Having been convinced by Iron Man to forge her own path rather than live in her father’s shadow, Gamora kills him with Topaz’s staff. In a mid-credits scene, the still-alive Grandmaster begs Topaz to collect his puddle form.
