When Tony Stark is forced to create a life support suit to keep him alive after an accident he decides to use the technology in his suit to fight crime.
Weapons designer Tony Stark is in Afghanistan to introduce his new missile design to the Air Force when the unit he is traveling with is attacked and Stark is taken hostage.
Injured by shrapnel embedded near his heart, he is ordered by his captors to assemble a missile for them, and they give him access to a workshop. He puts his creativity to use by assembling a bulletproof suit of power armor, complete with pacemaker and flamethrowers, and uses it to free himself.
Back in the United States, he becomes Iron Man, developing a flying suit with a red and gold color scheme and advanced weapon capabilities. Stark faces the Iron Monger.
Based upon Marvel's iconic Super Hero, "Iron Man".
