Tony Stark is a playboy and an engineering genius. While in Afghanistan demonstrating a new missile he is captured and wounded.

His captors want him to assemble a missile for them. Instead he creates an armoured suit which he uses to escape.

Back in the U.S. he announces his company will cease making weapons and he begins work on an updated armoured 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.

Iron Man is a fictional character, a superhero that appears in comic books published by Marvel comics.

The character first appeared in Tales of Susupense #39 (March 1963), and was created by writer-editor Stan Lee, scripter Larry Lieber , and artists Don Heck and Jack Kirby.

Initially, Iron Man was a vehicle for Stan Lee to explore cold war themes, particularly the role of American technology and business in the fight against communism.

Subsequent re-imaginings of Iron Man have gradually removed the Cold War themes, replacing them with more contemporary concerns such as corporate crime and terrorism.

Throughout most of the comic's history, Iron Man has been a member of the superhero team the Avengers and has been featured in several incarnations of his own various comic book series.

The character has been adapted for several animated TV shows and films.
