Storyline
Tony Stark. Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist. Son of
legendary inventor and weapons contractor Howard Stark. When Tony Stark
is assigned to give a weapons presentation to an Iraqi unit led by Lt.
Col. James Rhodes, he's given a ride on enemy lines. That ride ends
badly when Stark's Humvee that he's riding in is attacked by enemy
combatants. He survives - barely - with a chest full of shrapnel and a
car battery attached to his heart. In order to survive he comes up with a
way to miniaturize the battery and figures out that the battery can
power something else. Thus Iron Man is born. He uses the primitive
device to escape from the cave in Iraq. Once back home, he then begins
work on perfecting the Iron Man suit. But the man who was put in charge
of Stark Industries has plans of his own to take over Tony's technology
for other matters.
