Mephisto? 4 Years Later, Marvel's Biggest Fan Theory Quietly Comes True
Briefly

The series focuses on Riri Williams and her journey in building an advanced Iron Man suit, intertwined with an intriguing occult subplot featuring the character known as the Hood. Throughout the season, the show builds mystery around Parker's ambitions and connections to dark powers, particularly hinting at a link to Dormammu. As the season progresses, it culminates in a dramatic revelation about the true villain, subverting earlier theories related to Dormammu and presenting a new supernatural threat that has significant implications for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The small-time criminal, also known as the Hood, has been bankrolling Riri's efforts to build a better Iron Man suit, but he also has his own goals.
In Ironheart's season finale, however, it's revealed that the theory was a fake-out for the show's true villain, a supernatural threat that will change Marvel's Cinematic Universe forever.
Marvel comics suggest that Parker's hood originally belonged to Dormammu, the Big Bad of Doctor Strange - and Riri's new magical pal corroborates that in Episode 5.
Turns out Dormammu wasn't pulling the Hood's strings after all, leading to a supernatural threat in the finale.
