Video Game Variants
Iron Man is set to appear in the upcoming video game LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, in 2013. At least three variations of Iron Man will be present in the game- his Mark II, Mark VI, and Mark VII suit. The Mark VI and Mark VII 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. 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 II of the Iron Man suit he used to escape the cave. He tested this, but upon finding some faults, built a Mark III 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 I 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 armoured ally in his friend James Rhodes, who became known as War Machine after taking Stark's Mark II suit and having it modified. He also was dying from a Palladium poisiong 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. Phil 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 a diagram of the Tesseract.
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 VI 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 VII 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 Banner.
Some time later, Tony Stark dealt with perfecting his newest suit, the Mark XLII, which he designed so he could summon it piece by piece anywhere and at anytime. Meanwhile, he had to protect Pepper and his personal life from The Mandarin, military officer Eric Savin, and the Extremis virus created by Aldrich Killian .
Notes
- 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.
