But one of them hides a terrible secret that may destroy them all. The first season focuses on the Makluan Rings saga as Tony Stark, Pepper, James Rhodes, and Gene Khan work together to get the 5.
To help in his one-man war Tony will enlist his closest friends James Rhodes, Pepper Potts, and Gene Khan. In his adventures he encounters the Black Panther, Nick Fury, and S.H.I.E.L.D. Tony must battle the likes of Blizzard, Unicorn, Crimson Dynamo, Whiplash, the Living Laser, Madame Masque, A.I.M., M.O.D.O.C., Ultimo, Ghost, Technovore, and the Hulk. Meanwhile, a mysterious figure called the Mandarin reveals itself with connections to Howard's death. Stane wants complete control of the company and will stop at nothing to acquire the Iron Man Armor. Starring Adrian Petriw, Anna Cummer, Daniel Bacon. He suspects Obadiah Stane who is running Stark International. Iron Man is the invincible alter-ego of 16-year-old Tony Stark, who, along with his friends Jim Rhodes and Pepper Potts, assumes responsibility for protecting the world from a variety of threats. It also has invisible, motion-detector lasers in the Iron Man exiting tube to find out if Iron Man has returned or an intruder has arrived (though the highly skilled thief Ghost was able to infiltrate the armory with minimal difficulty).Following the death of Howard Stark, young Tony Stark becomes the armored hero Iron Man to fight crime, save his company, and solve the mystery of his death.
The Activation Code for the Iron Man Armor is Stark 02. The Iron Man Armory is located in Tony Starks Secret Lab with all of his other inventions. The Iron Man Armor is decades ahead of current technology.
It was featured in the movie Iron Man, and first appeared when Tony and Ho Yinsen were held captive by the terrorist group known as the Ten Rings. The suit was later used as a model for Obadiah Stanes Iron Monger. When War Machine is out with Iron Man, Pepper is the one stationed there. The Mark I (Mark 1), is the first Iron Man suit built and created by Tony Stark.It was built in the initial events of the live-action film, Iron Man. It can also control the armors remotely and activate most of the armors' functions from there.
It has improved equipment and defenses - so as to better prevent or withstand attacks (namely explosives that destroyed the first armory) - and is able to hack into every spy satellite (even S.H.I.E.L.D's) in the world to search for supervillians (even though originally it was created for the sole purpose of tracking Gene). In The Invincible Iron Man Part 1, it is revealed Tony Stark had set up a new armory inside the Makluan Temple in Jersey before he went to China to search for Gene. Fortunately, Rhodes was able to retrive the Iron Man and War Machine Armors to take down the Mandarin. In the season 1 finale, Tales of Suspense, Xin Zhang orders the Tong to set up explosives in the Stark facility and blow it up, nearly destroying the Armory in the process. Ever since then, the armory has been the secret headquarters of "Team Iron Man" (A name Pepper came up with). He finally reveals it to Rhodes in Iron, Forged in Fire Part 1, where he puts on the Mark I armor for the first time to spy on Obadiah Stane. Tony Stark had been building a new laboratory in the abandoned Stark facility for some time prior to the start of the series.
