Storyline
Tony Stark is the complete playboy who also happens to be an engineering genius. While in
Afghanistan demonstrating a new missile, he's captured and wounded. His captors want him
to assemble a missile for them but instead he creates an armored suit and a means to
prevent his death from the shrapnel left in his chest by the attack. He uses the armored suit
to escape. Back in the U.S. he announces his company will cease making weapons and he
begins work on an updated armored suit only to find that Obadiah Stane, his second in
command at Stark industries has been selling Stark weapons to the insurgents. He uses his
new suit to return to Afghanistan to destroy the arms and then to stop Stane from misusing
his research.Written by John Vogel {jlvogel@comcast.net}
