Marvel Studios is known for making changes to the source material, and Anthony Ramos’ character, Parker Robbins, in the Ironheart series is no exception. In the comics, Parker doesn’t have a direct connection to Riri Williams, the young woman behind Ironheart’s armor. However, Ramos’ transformation into The Hood will stay true to the spirit of his character.
Ramos plays the villain, The Hood, and Parker Robbins, who gets a powerful hood that’s too much for him to handle. The hood’s power is overwhelming, damaging his body and affecting his personality. Despite this, Parker becomes addicted to the hood’s power and can’t let it go.
The Ironheart footage that debuted at D23 suggests that Parker will lead Riri down the wrong path as they commit heists to steal components for her new Ironheart armor. While it’s unclear how the magic hood fits into the narrative, Ramos is excited for fans to see his character’s final form.
The hood becomes a weapon for Parker to seek vengeance, starting with small-time thefts. As his power grows, so does his obsession with the hood. Ramos is excited for fans to see the art department’s, visual effects team’s, and special effects makeup team’s work on his character.
