Iron Man comes together with the heroes of the Marvel Universe, such as the likes of the Fantastic Four and the X-Men, to help stop Loki and his villainous cohorts from building a weapon of mass destruction from the shattered bricks of the Silver Surfer's surfboard. More recently, Iron Man's true identity as Tony Stark has been revealed to the public.

Since then, Stark has made countless revised models of his original armor and joined superhero teams like the Avengers. He then went on to revise his lifestyle, rethink his life philosophy, and adopt the identity of crime-buster Iron Man, whom he claimed was his personal mechanical bodyguard. In secret, Stark built a giant mechanical suit to escape from a prison cave, which he did so successfully.

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. When demonstrating his latest weapon at a military testing for the Jericho Missile, he was captured by terrorists, who demanded that he build the Jericho Missile for them that he just demonstrated to the US military. Tony Stark was the son of billionaire weapons manufacturer Howard Stark and the owner of Stark Industries.
