What If…? Donald Duck Became Iron Man
A mash-up of Disney and Marvel under the What If...? banner offers us a look at Donald Duck becoming Iron Man, er, Iron Duck! The film sort of follows the basic premise of 2008's Iron Man with Donald, in possession of plans for Gyro Gearloose's various inventions, is kidnapped by villains who want him to build it for them. Keeping with Scrooge McDuck part of the story, the villains we're given are the Beagle Boys who have dreams of riches using Gyro's new drill which they want to use to drill into Scrooge's vault.
In the same kind of twist in the film, Donald decides to uses the parts given to him by the Beagle Boys to create something else. He uses separate plans on Gyro's drive to create the armor allowing him to break out of the villain's clutches. What If…? Donald Duck Became Iron Man is one of a series of one-shots featuring Mickey Mouse characters in place of Marvel heroes and it works pretty well. I'll say I'm curious enough I may even check out another one.
