Summary
A billionaire industrialist and genius inventor, Tony Stark, is conducting weapons tests overseas in Iraq, but terrorists attack and kidnap him. He barely survives with a chest full of shrapnel and a car battery attached to his heart and is forced to build a devastating weapon. Instead, he builds an armored suit and upends his captors. Returning to America, Stark refines the suit and uses it to combat crime and terrorism. However the man who was put in charge of Stark Industries has plans of his own to take over Tony’s technology for other matters.
