Until now I had assumed the harsh lighting was obscuring "Iron" -- but Wizard says that'd be "Ice"? I'm still thinking it's Iron Man since Iceman's an X-Man already and wouldn't be a special appearance.

Mr. Kohler himself is known to do so.
But just watch some videos about game history or design by anyone under 40. Probably thanks to Smash Bros. culture (where it’s also clearly “brothers” but “bros” is somehow less cringe), it’s incredibly common.
