"How many? How many have drawn blood with my sword?" Millionaire
industrialist Tony Stark is an inventive genius who has dedicated
all of his enormous financial and intellectual resources to a
single guiding principle: the creation of technology for the
betterment of humanity. Stark's greatest creation is a modern-day
miracle: a suit of form-fitting, strength-enhancing, steel-mesh
armor he dons to become the living symbol of his ideals, the
Invincible Iron Man! But when Stark discovers that the same
technology he used to create the Iron Man armor - technology so
secret he didn't even dare patent it - is now in the hands of
several deadly super-villains, he feels responsible for the evil
they have done with the high-tech tools he unwittingly provided. In
the face of objections from his government, friends, colleagues and
fellow super heroes, Stark swears to use the power of Iron Man to
bring the evil to an end - and to take back what's his. The Beatle,
Stilt Man, the Controller, Stingray, the Mandroids, the Guardsmen
and Firepower don't know it yet, but they've got a problem. The
world's most powerful force for good isn't playing by the rules
anymore. And he's coming for them. Collecting IRON MAN
