Biography[]
After a day of fighting crime Iron Man returned to find Pepper Potts and James Rhodes waiting for him. They wanted him to give up his superhero career, worrying about his health, but he felt he had to in order to protect his technology. Just then he heard that HYDRA was attacking the United Nations. So he donned his armor to fight them.
Iron Man fought HYDRA defeating all their foot soldiers. However, they unleashed a group of large robots who used Stark's technology. Iron Man just barely managed to stop them when S.H.I.E.L.D. arrived in their Helicarrier. However, they soon pointed their guns at him.
S.H.I.E.L.D. confronted Iron Man and unleashed a group of Mandroids. When trying to stop the HYDRA machine behind them they thought he was attacking and fired at him. Iron Man defeated the HYDRA robots and went to the Helicarrier. There he confronted Nick Fury and Maria Hill about their using his technology. He then revealed that HYDRA got his technology through them. He then left and returned to Pepper and Rhodey.
While scouting the globe, Iron Man tracked down a group of A.I.M scientists and disrupted a weapons deal between them and Lucia Von Bardas. After receiving a message from Pepper Potts, he transported the defeated A.I.M. members to the Vault, where he handed them over to S.H.I.E.L.D. While there, he was told by Jimmy Woo about the recent security breach with Grim Reaper, but he brushed the issue off and left before he received any details. Soon after however, he was alerted by Pepper Potts about a mass breakout at the Cube and the Big House, and immediately after was informed by J.A.R.V.I.S. that the Vault's systems were no longer responding. Returning to the Vault, Iron Man found himself up against several escaped supervillains, including Whiplash, Living Laser, Crimson Dynamo, and Blizzard. After receiving help from Hawkeye, however, he flew out of the Vault and triggered the self-destruct sequence, which damaged his thrusters and forced him to eventually crash in a field. After receiving an update from J.A.R.V.I.S. about the Shield Helicarier, he triggered one of his backup armors and waited for its arrival.
The Breakout[]
In Slovakia, Iron Man found A.I.M. soldiers who were bargaining his Stark Industries tech to Lucia. Iron Man took care of them and threatened Lucia to leave. He soon contacted J.A.R.V.I.S. to call the Vault, to prison the soldiers.
At the Vault, Iron Man brought the A.I.M. soldiers to Jimmy, who asked Iron Man to improve the containment of the prisoners. Iron Man felt annoyed by it and left the scene. J.A.R.V.I.S. and Pepper warned Iron Man that the Vault and the Helicarrier were in trouble, he then went to the Vault.
While Hawkeye was taking care of the villains, Iron Man arrived in the Vault and mistook Hawkeye as a criminal and attacked him. Whiplash, Crimson Dynamo, Living Laser and Blizzard worked together to take on Iron Man. When Blizzard tried to freeze Iron Man, Hawkeye distracted them and J.A.R.V.I.S. hacked the security system of the Vault and activated the self-destruct sequence. As he left the building, he took some portion of the explosion and damaged his suit. He was then contacted by J.A.R.V.I.S. on the situations of the Cube and the Helicarrier.
Iron Man crashed into a crop field and ordered Jarvis to send the Mark VII armor. He changed from suit and flew towards the crashed Helicarrier. He attacked Gravtion who was fighting against Wasp. Iron Man greeted Wasp and is then pulled into space. Iron Man tried to free from the gravitational forces of Graviton, but the forces has ceased. Iron Man activates his uni beam to the villain. When Iron Man, Thor, Giant Man and Wasp surrounded him they were soon pulled away by him. The Hulk arrived and pulled him in the harbor.
Iron Man flew towards the Harbor along with Thor and tried to ambush Graviton, but were all impaled by him. After Ant Man's red ant distracted him he was freed by the grip and released a full-powered uni-beam towards Graviton along with the most powerful attacks of the heroes and defeated Graviton.
After S.H.I.E.L.D. arrived to take away Graviton and the Hulk, Iron Man protected the green monster, claiming Hulk was "a hero as well as any of us". Fury approached them for a proposal to join S.H.I.E.L.D. he rejcted and suggested the heroes to assemble their own team and to avenge the wrongdoings of the villains, they agreed and by Wasp's suggestion of the name they became the Avengers.

Despite defeating the breaker of worlds, Iron Man was soon ambushed by the Enchantress herself and her Executioner. His armor was damaged to the point to where he was forced to lay on the ground and ask Thor who Enchantress and Executioner were. Although the Hulk returned to turn the tide of battle, ultimately the Hulk left the team, upset at the team's distrust. Iron Man commented that his departure did not make it a bad second day for the Avengers.
While searching for the Hulk up in the icy north, the team discovered the frozen body of Captain America. After Iron Man detected that the war hero was still alive, the Avengers transported him back to the states. As they approached New York Captain America awoke, disoriented from the sixty plus years asleep. Suspecting he was captured by Hydra, the old hero proceeded to fight his way off the Quinjet, stopping only upon sight of his and Bucky's memorial statue. Iron Man told Captain America he had been asleep for a couple of decades. Iron Man watched as Captain America believed that he had no right to be in this world and doubted himself. After a joint attack by Baron Heinrich Zemo and "Dough Boy," Captain America joined the Avengers.
After Black Panther saved Captain America, Iron Man, Wasp, Ant Man and Captain America fought Black Panther outside of the Avengers Mansion.

Iron Man was forced to stay behind when Thor, Black Panther, Captain America and Doc Samson went to turn off the dome due to his armor being damaged. After the incident, Iron Man went back with the other Avengers to get checked up on by S.H.I.E.L.D.

He succeeded in this and promised Dr. Doom that he would reserve a jail sale for him.
After returning from Asgard, Tony continued his regular duites as CEO of Stark Industries and as leader of the Avengers.

Iron Man went back to Stark Industries one day and was questioned by Pepper Potts about his over involvement with the Avengers. He assured her that he was fine and was told of his upcoming meeting.

Tony stayed for a while and was knocked unconscious by Black Widow. She brought him to a warehouse where Nick Fury hid. Fury showed him the Madame Hydra and informed him that there is a secret infiltration being done by the Skrulls. Tony wondered if that was a Skrull, which Fury showed him a Skrull communicator, which he tracked and revealed to him that one of his teammates was a Skrull.
Fury explained to him that he accused Hawkeye of being a Skrull, since he was left alive by Madame Hydra Skrull's help. He did not believe this, since Hawkeye is his friend and distrusted Fury. He wondered if Fury was a Skrull and Fury convinced him of the possibilies of the replaced people and left the warehouse.

Skrull invasion[]
Since leaving the Avengers, Tony had been working overtime to make a scanner to be able to tell who the skrulls really are. He was confronted by Doctor Doom, who had only come to give him his, but, nevertheless, Iron Man attacked him almost immediately when he came, shooting him and punching him in the chest several times.
Doom stopped him from doing so and threw him. He gave Iron Man his technology and then left. Tony was called in by Nick Fury, whom suspected Captain America was a Captain America. He even began to suspect Mockingbird was one as well. These suspicions became true when Mockingbird attacked and defeated them. Iron Man questioned if she really thought she could beat him while he was in his armor, however, she had already installed a virus in his armor, therefore, making him unable to fight and rendering him unconscious.
When Maria Hill came to stop the Skrull posing as Mockingbird, she helped Nick Fury take out the virus in Iron Man by removing him arc reactor.

After the Skrulls were defeated, Iron Man and the other Avengers welcomed back the real Captain America.
Ultron Unlimted[]
When Captain America was thought of as a traitor, Iron Man told J. Jonah Jameson to clear his name. Jameson told Peter Parker and Betty Brant to interview the Captain America.

He was encased in his Mark I armor, but no longer knew how it worked. Thor and Captain America were unable to use their powers too. Loki, who was in Destroyer armor, attacked them, but was defeated when Thor found inner strength. Iron Man placed the Destroyer in a container in Avengers Mansion.
Iron Man was the first Avenger to be captured by Vision and Ultron. A robot version of him was built and it, along with other robot Avengers, captured the other Avengers. Captain America was the only one not captured. He and Vision freed Iron Man and the others. They defeated the robots and Ultron. When Ultron exploded, the building caught fire, but the Avengers escaped with Vision, who then joined the team.
Iron Man and Wasp tried to get Hank Pym to rejoin the Avengers, but he told them to get out after showing them the micro-prison. When they heard an explosion, they thought Hank was dead. Tony and a lot of other heroes honored Hank. When Wasp told told him that the person called Yellowjacket was Hank, he and the others found out that she was right. When Hank teleported them into his prison, he used Panther's identification card and Iron Man's chest reactor to escape.
After the incident, Wasp persuaded Iron Man to let Hank rejoin the Avengers as Yellowjacket.
Purple Man's Control[]
Following Vision's saving of the Avengers, Iron Man started repairing the android from his extensive injuries. During his repairs, Captain America asked him if he thought he could really fix him. Iron Man reminded the latter that he was himself and asked Vision how he was feeling. Following Vision's questioning of being scanned, Tony confirmed his suspicions and apologized as he explained the Avengers had been trying to make sure that Ultron did not leave anything harmful in the android. As Captain America uttered Vision's independence, Tony remarked that Ultron did an admirable job designing the latter and expressed a desire for the world being as easy to fix. After ordering JARVIS to fix Vision, Iron Man and Captain America left Vision to his rest with the promise of being there for his awakening in thirty days.
Within those thirty days, Iron Man fell victim to the control of Purple Man, alongside the rest of the Avengers. He released a Stark Energizer to the world, giving Earth much more energy than it did before. During a moment of standing with Thor and Captain America, the latter told Iron Man that he had successfully fixed the world. Shortly afterwards, Iron Man was unable to resist Purple Man's control as he made orders. Purple Man revealed his jealousy of Iron Man's love around the world and forced him to order Vision and Captain America to be taken down. As the Avengers became aware of Iron Man's control at the hands of Purple Man, he was forced to fight Captain America under the former's orders to do so. As Captain America was forced to the ground, Purple Man ordered him to destroy the latter. Iron Man however, was able to resist his controls and soon enough, defeated him.
After Purple Man was incarcerated, Iron Man had a private conversation with Captain America. He stated that all he ever wanted to do was make sure his weapons stayed out of evil's path, before revealing he himself had instead. Captain America reassured him that no one blamed him, stating that the world knew it was the Purple Man who was behind his orders. Iron Man continued to blame himself, as all of Purple Man's ideas originated from him. However, Captain America believed he had been fighting the Purple Man the entire time by sending Captain America to get Vision and told him he believed in him.
