The backstory for Earth-Iron Doom is given. Tony Stark first monopolized the world economy, then started a Mutant War between humans and mutants, thinning out the super-human population. He then kills Magneto and afterward, Doom. No one is left to undermine his authority, and through his manipulations, he becomes Monarch of Earth for life. After hiding from him for years, the Inhumans finally have to surface, starting a new war for their blood. Luckily for Stark, the Weapon X team shows up to help him win.
