Episode Guide
Tony Stark, heir to a billion-dollar corporation, lives a life of luxury, free to pursue his chief interests – seeking extreme thrills, solving scientific mysteries and creating mind-boggling inventions. But everything goes horribly wrong when a tragic accident robs Tony of his father and nearly costs him his own life. Now dependent on his own impressive technology for survival and dedicated to battling corruption, Tony must reconcile the pressures of teenage life with the duties of a Super Hero. Inside his remarkable invention, Tony Stark is geared for high-speed flight, high-tech battles and high-octane adventure!
Teen genius Tony Stark has just finished his greatest invention: the Iron Man armor. But before he gets to show his dad, Tony’s world is shattered. His father, his home, his entire life are all gone, and Tony is left picking up the pieces. But with a little help from his friends Rhodey and Pepper, he begins to unravel the mystery surrounding the attack on his father. And as IRON MAN, Tony Stark takes his first steps toward becoming a HERO.
Obadiah Stane has taken over Stark International and is converting all of Tony and his dad’s inventions into weapons. But even worse, Tony now believes Stane may be behind the attack that took his father from him. Iron Man intends to get answers, but standing in his way are the EARTH MOVERS – Tony’s once peaceful inventions, which have been corrupted into massive weapons of destruction. And if Iron Man survives fighting against his own creations, he will still have to confront the mysterious armored figure known only as THE MANDARIN.
The Mandarin believes Tony Stark can find the missing Makluan Rings, so he plans to get close to him in his true identity… sixteen year old GENE KHAN. But after enrolling at Tony’s school, Gene’s other life comes crashing in on both kids – MAGGIA henchmen UNICORN and KILLER SHRIKE take Tony, Gene, and Pepper hostage in their escalating efforts to undermine THE MANDARIN and his TONG triad. Now Tony and Gene have to protect their respective secret identities as Iron Man and the Mandarin, but more importantly… they have to survive.
Iron Man is still trying to take down Obadiah Stane when he finds someone ELSE is after Stane… the man called BLIZZARD. Rhodey’s not so sure about Blizzard, but Tony feels like he’s found a kindred spirit. Together, Iron Man and Blizzard take down Stark International from the inside out, but Iron Man soon realizes that he and Blizzard are NOTHING alike. There’s a fine line between revenge and justice, and now it’s armor versus ice… with Obadiah Stane’s LIFE as the prize.
Pepper Potts dreams of a life of excitement and adventure… until her FBI agent father is targeted by MISTER FIX, a mysterious arms dealer he’d been tracking. With her father in the hospital, Pepper intends to find out who attacked him… until she becomes a target herself. But Mister Fix doesn’t just make high tech weapons… he makes SUPER-weapons. And now Iron Man has to save Pepper from Fix’s cybernetic hatchet man, WHIPLASH, all while trying to hide his identity from Mister Fix AND Pepper.
Two years ago, astronaut Ivan Vanko was lost in space. Two minutes ago, he crashed down into the middle of New York City. Vanko is alive, thanks to the massive environmental suit he was wearing dubbed ‘the CRIMSON DYNAMO,’ designed to survive the harshest conditions imaginable. But after years in space, all Vanko wants is revenge on the people who left him behind… PROJECT PEGASUS. The only thing standing in Dynamo’s way? Iron Man.
Tony’s been juggling school and his life as Iron Man for weeks, but when a new Super Villain called the LIVING LASER appears using tech created by Tony’s dad, Tony realizes that something has to give… namely SCHOOL. Tony doesn’t need it, doesn’t even like it… and besides, he’s brilliant and rich. But when Tony finds out that the entire future of Stark International rests on him graduating from high school, he has to find a way to be both Iron Man AND Tony Stark.
With a new prototype suit of STEALTH ARMOR, Tony decides to sneak into Stark International and see what Obadiah Stane is up to. Problem is, the suit is untested and promptly goes dead inside S.I. It’s only a matter of time before Stane finds it, and Tony needs a plan fast. Enlisting the help of his friends, Tony needs to find a way to break into Stark International, get the armor, and get out before Stane notices… and without anyone realizing that Iron Man and Tony are one and the same.
The search is on for the MAKLUAN RINGS, and Tony and his friends go back to square one… the site where Tony’s dad found the first ring. But at the site, they find more than they bargained for, namely a TEST… and a GUARDIAN. Finding the rings is one thing, but you have to EARN their power. And while GENE and RHODEY learn the secret history of the Makluan Rings, Tony and Pepper are in for the fight of their lives against the ring’s guardians… the DREADKNIGHTS.
It’s CAREER DAY at school, and while Rhodey and Pepper look for jobs, a job is looking for TONY. A group of scientists called the ADVANCED IDEA MECHANICS wants Tony’s help to invent a revolutionary new technology, and Tony’s ego can’t help but say ‘yes.’ But all is not as it seems with AIM, and when Tony completes their project, he inadvertently creates a new Super Villain… the CONTROLLER. Now Iron Man is forced to fight, not only against AIM… but against his controlled friends as well.
Obadiah Stane defeats and captures Iron Man by forcing Project Pegasus to use an upgraded version of the CRIMSON DYNAMO armor to take him down. With his systems in lockdown, Tony is helpless inside as his armor is taken apart and analyzed piece by piece. Rhodey and Pepper go all out to bust him loose, but once free, Tony’s only got one thing on his mind… REVENGE. It’s Iron Man versus Crimson Dynamo round two, but this time Iron Man’s ready. Enter: the DYNAMO BUSTER ARMOR.
Obadiah Stane has totally lost it, and he’s waging war on… Obadiah Stane? Iron Man goes to investigate, only to find that Stane isn’t Stane at all… it’s the identity-stealing MADAME MASQUE, and she doesn’t want anyone getting in the way of her vendetta. The next thing Iron Man knows, he’s being hunted by the POLICE for crimes committed by MASQUE. Iron Man has to clear his name by exposing Masque, but her connection to Stane will shock even Iron Man.
Tony and Gene find the third MAKLUAN RING, but this time Tony plays it smart… without awakening the ring’s guardian, Tony takes the ring back to the city for study. But Gene has other ideas… and in order to possess the ring’s power, he activates the guardian—ULTIMO. But Ultimo isn’t interested in Gene, it only wants the ring. And now, not only does Iron Man have to deal with a giant robot in New York, he’s also about to have a rematch with the MANDARIN.
