Iron Patriot, alias Colonel James Rhodes, is a Marvel Super Heroes minifigure released in 2013.
Background
The Iron Patriot armor is piloted by Tony Stark's best friend: Colonel James Rhodes. It was originally Tony's Mark II suit, but then it was taken by Rhodes and further developed by the U.S. Military and turned into the secret weapon War Machine. Then it was found that people were getting the wrong message from the name, so the U.S. Government renamed Rhodes' super hero alias to "Iron Patriot"; also giving it a red, white and blue "makeover". Tony thought that he was America's hero and angered that one of his armours was turned into an American propaganda piece.
Aldrich Killian later had his soldiers steal the Iron Patriot armour, which Killian used to get himself and Savin to board air Force One and kidnap President Ellis.
When Tony and Rhodes went to rescue the President and Pepper Potts, Rhodes rescued the President and brought him to saftey, but didn't return to the final battle.
