Fans Are Sure They Know Who the Anchor Being of Earth-616 Is
Marvel Studios seems to love playing with our emotions. They first removed Iron Man, the top hero of the Avengers, which was a huge deal. Then they brought back Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, teaming him up with Ryan Reynolds’s Deadpool, which got everyone excited again. But in a twist, Robert Downey Jr. returned to the Marvel Cinematic Universe not as a hero, but as a villain.
There’s a new idea in ‘Deadpool 3’ called an Anchor Being. This is someone really important to their universe. Without them, things would start to fall apart. This doesn’t mean things crash instantly when they die; it’s a slow process that could take a long time. This got me thinking about who could be this Anchor Being for Earth-616, where most of the Marvel stories happen.
Some of us are pretty sure it’s Iron Man. After he died, the whole timeline started to feel a bit off. It makes sense because his death was such a big event. Think about it: everything’s been chaotic since then. This could be a clue that he was the one keeping things stable.
We also saw a funeral for Iron Man in ‘Avengers: Endgame’. It was a big moment. Seeing someone so crucial to the universe go like that was bound to have consequences. This makes me feel even more that he might have been the Anchor Being for our Earth-616.
Other names have come up as possible Anchor Beings. People have mentioned Doctor Strange and Spider-Man, who’s seen as the new Iron Man. But still, Tony Stark feels like the most likely choice. His impact was just too big to ignore.
So, what do you think? Could Iron Man be the key to keeping Marvel’s universe together? It’s a theory that many of us are leaning towards, and it might just be right.
