Secret Wars featured a dangerous variant of the usually loyal Pepper Potts. This femme fatale did so much more than just double-cross Tony Stark.
Despite the endless number of timelines in the Marvel Multiverse , many realities tend to follow the same outlines -- featuring many of the same prominent figures, heroes, and villains. But sometimes, even a slight subversion can turn the most loyal of allies into the craftiest of foes.
Pepper Potts is usually one of the most reliable figures in Iron Man's orbit, regardless of which reality. But in one of the domains featured in Secret Wars , one version of the character went full femme fatale and killed her way to a major win over that timeline's Tony Stark.
Pepper Potts has long been a part of the Marvel Universe, debuting all the way back in 1963 in Tales of Suspense #45 (by Stan Lee, Robert Bernstein, and Don Heck). Pepper was established as Tony Stark's loyal personal assistant, in a role similar to Gwyneth Paltrow's portrayal of the character in the Iron Man films . In the MCU, Pepper quickly became Tony Stark's primary love interest -- even marrying him and having a daughter, Morgan Stark . In the comics, Pepper remained loyal to Tony but had no romantic relationship with him. Instead, she married Happy Hogan and, after his death, took up the mantle of Rescue .
But the variant of her who appeared in the story "Who Killed Tony Stark?" (by Frank Tieri and Richard Isanove) from Secret Wars Journal #3 was a good example of how deadly a ruthless version of the character could be. The events of the story saw the multiverse reworked into a patchwork planet known as Battleworld. Each region of the globe was effectively its own reality, with variants of major characters to reflect that area's tone. This included the domain known as Old Town, which seemed to be similar to the world featured in the Marvel Noir series . In this world, a variant of Wolverine operated as a private investigator, hired to look into the death of local industrialist Tony Stark. Informed of everything by Pepper Potts and led to believe it was this domain's Mandarin (a local crime boss) who killed Stark, Logan set out to confront the criminal.
Finding and confronting him, Logan discovered this wasn't the Mandarin of his world -- but rather a dangerous variant, who'd escaped from his own world and stolen his other self's life. Alongside this realm's Punisher, the heroes discovered that a group of villains from the nearby domain of Apocalypse (a realm based on the Age of Apocalypse crossover ) had killed their Old Town counterparts and impersonated them. Among their number was the AoA variant of Pepper Potts -- who'd already killed her counterpart long before Wolverine got involved. After robbing Stark and killing him with one of the Mandarin's blades, this version of Pepper led Logan right to her former ally, tying up that loose end before making her escape. The story ends with this villainous Pepper triumphant and a trail of bodies in her wake.
In all of her various iterations, Pepper has frequently been established as far more clever than anyone gives her credit for. She's constantly underestimated. All the attributes that make her brilliant also make her dangerous, and it's incredibly lucky that the Iron Man of Earth-616 has a noble version of her character. Secret Wars was a great place to highlight how certain characters could become completely different kinds of heroes or villains under slightly altered circumstances, and the reveal that Pepper could have been Marvel's most dangerous femme fatale is an underrated highlight of that concept.

Virginia "Pepper" Potts is the deuteragonist of the Iron Man film series, a supporting character in The Avengers film series and a cameo character in Spider-Man: Homecoming . She is Tony Stark 's personal secretary, executive assistant, eventually girlfriend and later wife. She gained superpowers after being bonded to the Extremis formula by Aldrich Killian in Iron Man 3 , but is cured by Tony. She later appears as the superheroine Rescue in Avengers: Endgame , utilizing a nanotech armor built for her by Tony.

Pepper Potts was created by Stan Lee and Don Heck.

Born sometime in May of the 1970s, Pepper graduated with a degree in business administration before working in the finance department of Stark Industries . After finding an error in Tony Stark's calculations, she rushed to Tony to correct the mark, forcing her way to see him, past bodyguards using pepper spray. Tony was impressed and hired her as his personal assistant, naming her Pepper as a joke.

Pepper evolves as a person over time from the events of the first movie. At first, it appears as if Pepper is a typical assistant as she is punctual, reliable, and claims to do everything that Tony needs of her. Despite knowing she is not the boss of Tony she is far from a pushover. Pepper knows that she deserves respect for all the hard work she does and even though it's not always delivered fully and sometimes drenched in sassy remarks, Tony never fails to show his appreciation for his assistant and friend.

Pepper is independent, intelligent, and sometimes even brazen in her work. Although she is nowhere near as smart as her boss she possesses a keen eye for detail and never seems to fail at a task given to her and as the new CEO of Stark Industries, she proved how capable she really was. She never pretended to approve of Tony's impulsive and promiscuous life-style but also never directly tried to break him out of it. It seems that were it not for her feelings for her boss she might have quit her job ages ago. In fact, Pepper showed a certain amount of jealousy and insecurity around Tony's intimate flings which is possibly why she treated them with such subtle disdain. She is also quick to panic during action-packed moments but is willing to be in the middle of them if she can protect Tony. Ironically, Pepper does not like violence and was shocked at herself for how violent her murder of Aldrich Killian was.

After Tony's run-in with terrorists and his transformation into Iron Man Pepper became less comfortable with her job as it involved a whole new level of danger for them both. Pepper expressed her concern for Tony's safety and was on the verge of quitting in lue of helping his new superhero duties, especially when she saw bullet holes in his armor, which was far more upsetting to her than the armor itself. She changed her mind however when she realized how genuine Tony's morals were in his deeds. Being an ethically strong person herself, Pepper's loyalty to her boss remained intact.

By the time of The Avengers , Pepper was less nervous about Tony's dangerous new life as they were romantically involved. However, Tony's obsession with building new Iron Man suits during Iron Man 3 had begun to irritate her. Even though their relationship was starting to become rocky Pepper still loved him and never tried to abandon him. Despite breaking
