Video Game Variants
Iron Man is set to appear in the upcoming video game LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, in 2013. At least four variations of Iron Man will be present in the game- his Mark 1, Mark 6, Mark 7, and Mark 42 suits. The Mark 1 is a new design created for the game while the Mark 6, Mark 7, and Mark 42 are based on the corresponding minifigure which has been released in a physical form, except the eye and arc reactor areas will glow blue. In the game, Iron Man is known to have the ability of flight, repulsors, and explosive projectiles. A Tony Stark character is also to be included in the game.
Background
Tony Stark was the son of billionaire weapons manufacturer Howard Stark and the owner of Stark Industries. When demonstrating his latest weapon at a military testing, he was captured by terrorists, who demanded that he build the same weapon for them that he just demonstrated to the US military. Due to the shrapnel in his chest, an electromagnet had to be placed in his chest to keep it away from his heart, which Stark later replaced with an arc reactor. In secret, Stark built a giant mechanical suit to escape from a prison cave, which he did so successfully. Because of this incident, Stark's eyes were opened as he saw first-hand where his weapons were going. Tony built a perfected Mark 2 of the Iron Man suit he used to escape the cave. He tested this, but upon finding some faults, built a Mark 3 suit and painted it red and gold. After he defeated his business partner, Obadiah Stane who had struck a deal with the terrorists and rebuilt the original Mark 1 as Iron Monger, he revealed himself to the world as Iron Man. Nick Fury, commander of S.H.I.E.L.D., then approached him and asked him to join the Avengers in the future, but Stark declined.
Some time later, Stark had developed a further three suits, and gained an armored ally in his friend Colonel James Rhodes, who became known as War Machine after taking Stark's Mark 2 suit and having it modified. He also was dying from a Palladium poisioing caused by his old chestpiece, which he later fixed, and had further dealings with S.H.I.E.L.D, with Director Fury and the Black Widow.
In New York City, Tony oversaw the construction of Stark Tower, including isolating it from the grid. Agent Coulson came to recruit Stark to look over Selvig's notes to help locate the Tesseract. Pepper Potts left for D.C. and Stark looked at Erik Selvig's notes.
Iron Man appeared at Stuttgart to assist Captain America and capture Loki, which he was successful in doing so. On the way back to the Helicarrier, Thor came and took Loki, which prompted Iron Man and Captain America to fight Thor. Aboard the carrier, Tony placed devices to help him break into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s database. He then helped Bruce Banner locate the Tesseract and talked Banner into using the Hulk as hero. He questioned Steve and why S.H.I.E.L.D. needed them now and not earlier. During the attack on the Helicarrier, Steve and Tony tried to fix the destroyed rotor, which they were successful, but severely damaged his Mark 6 armour in the process. Tony mourned Coulson's death and realized that Loki wanted to them out publicly and used Stark Tower as a power source for the portal machine. He headed to it and informed Loki that he had made the other five Avengers mad, Loki tried to possess Tony, but his arc reactor protected him from Loki's magic. Loki then threw Stark out a window, but not before Tony activated the Mark 7 armour which was deployed around him during his fall.
Stark joined the other Avengers (Captain America, The Hulk, Thor, Black Widow and Hawkeye) and helped stop Loki and his Chitauri army from taking over the Earth. Captain America ordered Stark to patrol the three mile radius around Stark Tower, where he neutralised several Chitauri. He then intercepted a nuclear weapon and manually aimed it at the alien mother ship. The effort involved forced his suit to shut down and Stark to become unconscious, resulting in an uncontrolled descent back to Earth. The Hulk safely caught him and woke him up. He helped Thor return to Asgard. Afterwards, he drove off with Bruce Banner.
After the battle in New York , Tony Stark felt that he didn't know everything as he almost died. He built at least fourty-two suits for various scenarios including perfecting his newest suit, the Mark 42, which he designed so he could summon it piece by piece anywhere and at anytime, as he never wanted to be in danger without a suit nearby.
After Happy Hogan was severely injured in one of The Mandarin's attacks, Tony Stark issued a verbal challenge to the Mandarin, asking that if he was a man, come to his house and prove it. Savin led an attack on Tony's Malibu mansion with military helicopters disguised as news helicopters. His first instict was to armour up Pepper Potts in the Mark 42 Armour and ordered her to get herself and Maya Hansen out of the crumbling house. Once Pepper and Maya were safely outside he called the armour back to him and he tried to stop the helicopters from causing further destruction as Iron Man, deprived of flight capabilities and weapons systems because it was a prototype, but failed and was dragged undersea by the falling debris and was crushed. Tony ordered J.A.R.V.I.S. to get him back to the surface as he passed out, but when he woke up in Tennessee with his suit severely damaged, J.A.R.V.I.S. shut down, preventing Tony from contacting anyone.
Finding a shed, he met Harley, who helped him. Harley brought him to a local attack by the Mandarin. He discovered the explosions were triggered by soldiers from the Extremis program, an experimental treatment intended to allow its users to recover from crippling injuries. However, if a user's body could not properly metabolize Extremis, the user heated up and exploded. Stark witnessed Extremis first hand when Savin and Ellen Brandt attacked him.
With Harley's help, he figured out the Mandarin's location. Using a variety of homemade weapons, he infiltrated the mansion. Inside, he found that the Mandarin was just a British actor named Trevor Slattery that Aldrich Killian had hired to cover for schemes. Killian revealed he had kidnapped Pepper and injected her with the Extremis.
Stark then left to stop Savin in the Iron Patriot armour from abducting President Ellis aboard Air Force One, he remotely controlled his armour and saved thirteen people falling from the plane and killed Savin, but Ellis was delivered to Killian.
On the platform, Stark went to save Potts, and Rhodes; the President. Stark summoned each of his Iron Man suits, controlled remotely by J.A.R.V.I.S., to provide air support. Rhodes secured the President and led him to safety, while Stark discovered Potts has survived the Extremis procedure. However, before he can save her, a rig collapsed around them and she fell to her apparent death. Stark, forced into confronting Killian, trapped Killian in an Iron Man suit that self-destructed. Potts, whose Extremis powers allowed her to survive her fall, killed Killian, who had survived the exploding armour.
After the battle, Stark ordered J.A.R.V.I.S. to remotely destroy each Iron Man suit, as a sign of his intention to devote more time to Potts. Both the Vice President and Slattery were arrested. Potts underwent surgery to remove Extremis, and Stark to remove the shrapnel embedded near his heart. Tony then returned to the ruins of his Malibu home and pitched his obsolete chest arc reactor into the sea, musing he will always be Iron Man, even without his armour.
Notes
- Iron Man's Mark 42 Armour makes an appearance in 76007 Iron Man: Malibu Mansion Attack, however its head is a blank white piece. This is because you can replace the white head with Tony Stark or Pepper Pott's head.
- A suitcase representing Iron Man's Mark 5 armour folded up also makes an appearance in 76007 Iron Man: Malibu Mansion Attack
- His preliminary face at Comic Con was the same as Jack Sparrow's cursed variation, and at the NY Toy Fair 2012 was Bruce Wayne's old face.
- The mask doesn't flip open like it does in the films. In the films, the chin stays put and the face pivots up.
- There are different variations of him in the two LEGO movie posters, one has his helmet with the visor up, and the other has the hair of the Weight Lifter minifigure, when on the Tony Stark minifigure it is dark brown.
