What Happened to Stuart Clarke aka Rampage in Ironheart?

Wondering if Stuart Clarke, aka Rampage, survived his involvement with Parker Robbins’ crew in Ironheart or met a darker fate? As Marvel’s latest series unfolds, Episode 3 dives into betrayal, murder, and mounting tension within the crew, putting Riri Williams in a dangerous moral dilemma.

Here’s a detailed look at what happened to Rampage in Ironheart.

Did Stuart Clarke aka Rampage die in Ironheart and how?

In Ironheart Episode 3, it is confirmed that Stuart Clarke, also known as Rampage, is dead.

The police inform Riri Williams that Stuart was found dead and question her because she was the last person to call him. Riri lies, claiming they met for a job interview and that she never got in touch with him again. The officers accept her story and leave.

Later in the episode, during a confrontation, John admits to killing Stuart. When Riri bumps into John while escaping from the Heirlum facility, he sees that she has a piece of Parker’s hood and throws her to the ground. They fight, and during the altercation, John confesses that he killed Stuart. This confirms that Stuart’s death was not an accident or an external hit, but a murder carried out by John.

Riri reacts with visible panic and anger. She realizes the danger of continuing to work with Parker’s crew and the implications of Stuart’s murder. The show doesn’t depict Stuart’s death on screen. However, John’s direct confession during the scene definitively confirms the character’s fate.

The crew had previously discussed replacing Stuart because he failed to disable an alarm during a heist, which put them all at risk. The decision to remove him from the team came from Parker, but it is John who ultimately executed that plan. The crew doesn’t react to Stuart’s death, and his murder marks a turning point in the series that raises the stakes for Riri.

There is no ambiguity regarding Stuart Clarke’s fate. He is dead, and John, a member of the same crew, is responsible for his death, as confirmed by his own admission during his final confrontation with Riri inside the greenhouse facility.
