Stark made it known that he would soon manufacture the suit, which he called "the human machine," for sale to the public.
He concealed the suit's true origin, as well as the fact that he himself had to wear the chest plate to live. After redesigning the entire armored suit to match the lighter chest plate, Stark made the existence of the suit public.
Required to wear the armor's chest plate at all times to keep his heart beating, Stark decided to put the rest of the armor to regular use as well. Stealing an enemy helicopter, they destroyed the site and flew to the nearest American base.īack in the United States, Stark redesigned his chest plate, which contained a pacemaker-like device, reducing the chest plate's size and weight so he could wear it under his normal clothing. The two tracked through the jungle together, finally discovering a hidden communist rocket base. After Iron Man helped Rhodes fight off an attack by communist forces, Rhodes allowed him to drain the helicopter's batteries to recharge his armor. Rhodes managed to land safely and was attempting to get his helicopter air-worthy when he encountered Iron Man. James Rhodes, a pilot in the United States Marines who was stationed in Southeast Asia, had been shot down in the jungle by communist rockets while he was on a reconnaissance mission. Then, still clad in his armor, which was necessary to keep his heart beating, Stark made his way to the jungle, trying to escape enemy territory. As the Iron Man, Stark avenged Yinsen's death and scattered Wong-Chu's guerrilla troops. Realizing he was sacrificing his life, Professor Ho Yinsen went out to confront Wong-Chu, to give Stark the extra time he needed to charge the armored suit fully. His captor, Wong-Chu, sensed something was amiss and came to investigate with armed men. Lying on a table Stark was helpless until the suit was fully charged. Donning the suit, Stark connected it to its power source, an electrical generator. The armor also contained a pacemaker-like device that enabled Stark's heart to keep beating after the shrapnel entered it. With Yinsen acting as his assistant, Stark designed and built an electrically powered suit of armor equipped with heavy offensive weaponry. Stark was given access to a small laboratory in communist territory with another captive, the renowned Oriental physicist and Nobel laureate Professor Ho Yinsen. Knowing this was a lie, Stark agreed, hoping to gain time and access to tools. Wong-Chu offered Stark a deal: if he built the Communists a powerful weapon, Wong-Chu would allow Stark to undergo an operation to save his life. The gravely injured Stark was taken captive by the Communist leader Wong -Chu, and was informed that within a week the shrapnel would penetrate his heart and kill him. Stark tripped on a booby trap and a piece of shrapnel was lodged in his chest. He ignored concerns that security was insufficient. Iron Man is born!Added byADourStark went to Vietnam (recently changed to the Persian Gulf) to supervise a field test for one of his transistorized weapons.
When he was 21, he inherited his father's business,Stark Industries, and within a few years turned it into a multi-billion dollar industry complex whose chief contracts were for advanced weaponry and munitions for the U.S. Double majors in physics and engineering were easy for him. Anthony Stark, son of industrialist and inventor Howard Stark, demonstrated his mechanical aptitude and extraordinary inventive genius at a very early age, enrolling in the undergraduate electrical engineering program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.) at the age of 15.
