A review by alexauthorshay
Iron Man: Extremis Prose Novel by Marie Javins

3.0

Not bad. The majority of it made me feel it was just an alternate route for Iron Man 3, which I did like more. Extremis was significantly different between book and movie, and I have to say I like how they used it in the movie better.
SpoilerThe idea of Extremis intermixing with Iron Man himself was kind of... weird. It cheated the whole idea of Tony being able to engineer his own suits and being able to make different Marks with different purposes to show their evolution. I understand that the idea was to make him able to stand up to Mallen but it literally takes away his humanity, which in my eyes makes him more like Spider-Man or Hulk. Iron Man is supposed to be just an average human guy under that suit; Extremis made him kind of alien.
