That's the worst [censored]ing article I've ever [censored]ing read. This. Also, I have no idea what this 'thing' is, or whether or not to get excited about it or not. TO GOOGLE!!!

Whaaaaa-?! >8/
Seriously, WHY!? Also, WHO? I know who Iron Patriot is in the comics but it surely can't be the same character, right? That character has already died in the Marvel movie-verse and is primarily a Spider-Man foe anyway. So logically, one would assume it would be Stark in a redeco'ed suit. But again I ask... why?

In the books, Iron Patriot is the persona Norman Osborne takes on as leader of the Dark Avengers when (through a confluence of events) he gets handed the 'top cop' job and ousts SHIELD for his own security agency. The main reason it's styled after Captain America is as 'tribute' to Cap after his 'death' following Civil War. Here, since Osborne obviously isn't actually involved, it's basically a completely new story being played out. The character in the suit is called Eric Savin. His only real link to any of this is his cyborgness and affiliation with Roxxon (who have been name checked a dozen times in the movies now - so it's inevitable they're going to show up sooner rather than later). It's probable that the character of 'Coldblood' won't even be acknowledged at all, and they've just used the name for the sake of tying it to something within the books at all. I think it's interesting that it's definitely an Iron Man suit, though. Could Tony have designed it for Cap to wear?

You'd think for Iron Man's third solo outing, he'd be pitted against one (or both) of his two major baddies: the Mandarin and Crimson Dynamo. Shame.

Rumour has it that the Mandarin is in it, played by Ben Kingsley.

^ Rumour also has it that the Mandarin is off limits for being a bit too racially insensitive. Though as if Ben Kingsley could possibly be anyone else. I could see Crimson Dynamo being more an Avengers thing. Especially if they adapted the rest of the base concept of Ultimates 2.
