There's a new Iron Man. Well, Iron Man for now. She's still working on the name. The events at the end of the comic book event series Civil War II will result in Tony Stark stepping out of the Iron Man suit and a new character, Riri [f500link ignore=true]Williams[/f500link], taking over, Marvel tells TIME. (Note: Tony's departure doesn't mean you know the end to Civil War II yet.)

Riri is a science genius who enrolls in MIT at the age of 15.
