Plot[]

During a business trip to Afghanistan to demonstrate Stark Industries' new weapon, Tony Stark is kidnapped by the terrorist group the Ten Rings, who order him to build a missile for them. Instead, he and fellow captive Ho Yinsen secretly build a powered suit of armor in the months following his capture. During this time, Yinsen also acts as Stark's mentor, showing him humility and telling him of the horrors his company has caused, making Stark reconsider his life. Stark impresses himself after finishing the armor, calling it "the future". Armed with a flamethrower, Stark uses the armor to defeat several terrorists and destroy their weapons stockpile, but Yinsen is killed during the escape. Stark then escapes from the Ten Rings' caves, but his suit is destroyed when he crashlands in the desert. Upon being picked up by the Air Force and returning to the United States, Stark declares that his company will no longer manufacture weapons, a move disapproved by his business partner Obadiah Stane.

With the help of his personal A.I. J.A.R.V.I.S., Stark develops an updated and more powerful version of his armor, adding Stark Industries' new repulsor technology and flight capability. While testing his new suit at Stark Industries, Stark is informed by his assistant Pepper Potts that armed men are attacking the facilities. Stark then decides to use his suit to deal with the attackers, and notices that they are Maggia soldiers. After the attack, Stark discovers that Maggia is providing weapons for the Ten Rings, and he returns to Afghanistan to battle them. Using his new Mark III "Iron Man" armor, Stark destroys Maggia's weapons stockpiles and an armored hovercraft. On the way back home, he is confronted by the United States Air Force. A pair of F-22 Raptors are sent after Stark; one is damaged during the chase, but Stark manages to save the pilot. He then establishes contact with his friend Lieutenant Colonel James Rhodes, who learns of Stark's identity and orders the jets to disengage.

Stark then returns home, where Potts discovers what he was doing with the Iron Man suit. Rhodes then starts helping Stark in his fight against Maggia, informing him of a weapons transport in Afghanistan. Stark follows the transport, destroying the weapons, defeating the villain Whiplash, a former Stark Industries worker, in the process. He proceeds to the Maggia's compound to destroy the rest of the weapons, and after infiltrating the mansion he confronts Madame Masque, who is killed when a wall falls on her. Stark then discovers Maggia's last weapon: a heavily armed Flying Fortress. Iron Man then attacks the fortress and destroys it, ending Maggia's evil once and for all.

While Stark was confronting Maggia, his corrupt business partner Obadiah Stane secretly recovered the first Iron Man armor in Afghanistan and started working with the company Advanced Idea Mechanics (A.I.M.) to create a power source. After Rhodes informs him that A.I.M. has attacked a nuclear facility in Russia, Stark decides to confront them, also because A.I.M. was Stark Industries' top buyers before he stopped manufacturing weapons. Iron Man ends the nuclear energy robbery and detects a strong radiation signal underground. After following this signal Stark is confronted by Boris Bullski, who created a titanium armor similar to that of Iron Man, thus becoming the "Titanium Man". However, Stark is able to defeat Bullski and then returns to the United States. Rhodes then informs him that A.I.M. has attacked a military ship in the Arctic, and Stark once again prevents them from stealing nuclear energy, as well as defeating the Controller.

After returning to Stark Industries, Stark sends Potts to hack the Industries computer and find the shipping records, so he can track down the illicit shipments and destroy them. However, the facilities are attacked by A.I.M. forces under the command of Titanium Man, who was actually sent by Obadiah Stane to steal the Iron Man suit. After discovering Stane's involvement with A.I.M. and the Ten Rings, Stark once again defeats Bullski. Stark then returns to his workshop, where he is ambushed by Stane, who steals his arc reactor to create a power source for his own armor. Stark is rescued by Rhodes, and is informed by him that A.I.M. kidnapped Potts to use her as bait. He then uses his armor to save Potts from an A.I.M. facility and prevents the explosion of their reactor. Stark then decides that A.I.M. is a bigger menace than Stane, and decides to confront them first. He heads to their island and destroys their proton cannon, and later confronts and defeats the Melter. Stark then attacks their headquarters, ending the A.I.M. menace.

Stark then returns to the United States and contacts Obadiah Stane, discovering that he kidnapped Potts. Stark then heads back to Stark Industries, where he confronts an armored Stane in the surrounding streets. Stane then flies to the top of Stark Industries, and Stark orders Potts to overload the Arc Reactor at the building to damage the Iron Monger Armor. The plan works and Stane is defeated. After the defeat of Maggia, Advanced Idea Mechanics and the Iron Monger, Stark decides to continue helping mankind as Iron Man.

Continuity[]

Regarding the canonicity of the game, Producer Andy Alamano said that: "The beginning of the movie is the beginning of the game and the end of the movie is the end of the game, but everything that happens in between is where we got to create parts to our own story. By using material found within the comics, we were able to create our own side story that still ties in tightly with the events of the film."[1]

The video game has many differences to the film it is based on as well as the wider Marvel Cinematic Universe. A.I.M. is a prevelant organization that tries to smuggle weapons from Stark Industries while in the main continuity, Stark is unaware of A.I.M. until the events of Iron Man 3 and only heard of it from the founder, Aldrich Killian, in 1999.

In other important notes, Marc Scarlotti appears as a Maggia member and former Stark Industries employee. Not only does he take the codename of Whiplash, which is used by Ivan Vanko in Iron Man 2, but he also appears in the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. episode A Fractured House which contradicts the Scarlotti of this game.

Another member of the Maggia is Whitney Frost, who also appears in Agent Carter as the main antagonist in 1947.

Stark mentions knowing Natasha Romanoff whom he has know knowledge of until Iron Man 2. He also is an acquaintance of Danny Rand who is in K'un-Lun at this time in Iron Fist.

Therefore, it is deemed as non-canon material.

Trivia[]

  • In the Java ME version of the game, Iron Man jokes that Pepper Potts and Happy Hogan would make a great couple with Potts later sarcastically referring to him as her "future husband." This is a reference to their marriage in the comics.
  • In the Java ME version, when talking about Iron Monger, James Rhodes says to Iron Man, "This sounds just like your kind of War Machine" which is a reference to Rhodes' codename, War Machine.
