WARNING: The following contains spoilers for Iron Man #7 by Christopher Cantwell, CAFU, Frank D'Armata & VC's Joe Caramagna, on sale now.
Throughout Iron Man's latest series, Korvac used Tony Stark to get what he wanted, which was a chance to start his own utopian society. He always claimed his goal was to create the perfect world, and he has now shown Iron Man what that world looks like.
As revealed in Iron Man #7, Korvac made a mistake by breaking into Hellcat's mind, and that created an opening for Iron Man to get close enough to see what Korvac had planned. Iron Man had Hellcat reverse the link, allowing them both into Korvac's mind, and he asked to see the plans for this perfect future. But in the end, Iron Man was not impressed bu Korvac's supposed utopia.
Iron Man and War Machine were racing through space to try to catch up with Korvac. Iron Man took Hellcat aside to talk about the utopia that Korvac showed her. Korvac had previously blasted Hellcat with electricity, and after that, he was able to reach into her mind. However, as Hellcat said, what he did was stir "up the ol' mind pot." Hellcat was briefly trained by Moondragon in the use of psionic abilities, and Korvac basically unlocked them again. This allowed her to take Iron Man into Korvac's mind to both get an idea of what he had planned and stall him somewhat until War Machine and their team of misfits made it to the confrontation.
Once Hellcat got into Korvac's mind, she brought Iron Man along for the ride. Korvac was angry at first that they invaded his mind, even though he invaded Hellcat's first. However, once Iron Man expressed sincere interest in knowing what Korvac's plan was for world peace, the villain was caught off-guard and allowed the two Avengers to see what he literally had in mind.
Korvac seemed shocked and almost touched that Iron Man sincerely wanted him to share his utopian vision with him. After calling it beautiful and perfect, Korvac showed them how all things would become the aggregate of one single entity. He revealed that the one entity would not be him, and he would melt away. The universal good would be owned by no one person or individual and would become something greater. There would be no hate, fear, or war, and no ancient evils. He then showed them the lifeform that would exist and encompass all.
This homogenous and bland world was defined by the quiet horror of crystalline creatures grazing on nothing for all existence. Iron Man pointed out there would be no freedom or flair in this colorless world. Hellcat exclaimed that it sucked, and Iron Man said that it was in no way worth the deaths that Korvac threatened. If Korvac worked for him, Iron Man said he would fire him on the spot. Korvac was furious, claiming his ideas were above people like Tony Stark and Patsy Walker. He felt they should be lucky to have him there to care for them. Unfortunately, this arrogant attitude and accompanying plan is nothing new.
Korvac is best known for his role in "The Korvac Saga," which stretched from Avengers #167-177 by Jim Shooter and George Perez. This entire storyline saw Korvac wanting to change Earth into his idea of a utopia. He killed most of the Avengers but then saw the error of his ways by the end. Although the villain has god-like power and the noble goal of wanting to create a utopia, he lacks the imagination required to make his dream a feasible reality.
While Korvac's current plans haven't been foiled yet, it certainly seems like that lack of imagination could lead to his eventual downfall, again.
