I'm not sure if this cover is meant to be showing Tony Stark's own test for prostate cancer…

But it is one of Marvel's variant covers with the American Cancer Society for September to commemorate National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.

Throughout the month of September, the world's most popular Marvel Super Heroes—Iron Man, Captain America, Captain Marvel, Thor, and the Avengers —will be featured on all-new variant covers with special light blue-colored costumes to bring awareness to one of the most common cancers among men.

"Working with The American Cancer Society, we learned that more than 2 million men in the US count themselves as prostate cancer survivors and it's an honor to continue bringing awareness to further increase the survival rate," said David Gabriel, SVP Sales & Marketing, Marvel. "We hope that all our fans take a moment during the month of September to educate themselves, as well as their loved ones, on how they can work with their healthcare provider on how to combat this disease."

The following September titles from Marvel will feature special American Cancer Society Prostate Cancer Awareness variant covers:
