Suggested by leonardoyundavictoria
Tony Stark, the brilliant but irresponsible heir to Stark Industries, is shaken by an international crisis when his own weapons are used in an attack against Krakoa, the developing mutant nation. Determined to clear his name, Stark travels to investigate... but is kidnapped by a mutant cell led by Emma Frost, convinced that Stark is directly responsible. During his captivity, Stark discovers that he has been the victim of a conspiracy. To survive, he secretly builds a primitive armor with rudimentary technology and manages to escape, marking the birth of the Iron Man prototype. Eventually, Emma realizes that Justin Hammer, Stark's corporate rival, and Anton Vanko, a brilliant but resentful engineer, are behind the sabotage. Hammer has been secretly funding Vanko, developing a powerful armor of destruction: the Crimson Dynamo. In a final battle on the outskirts of New York, Iron Man and Emma Frost join forces to stop Vanko, whose hatred of Stark has become personal and destructive. Victory comes with consequences: Stark is left physically and morally wounded, but determined to do things right. Thus Iron Man is publicly born, not as a weapon, but as a symbol of redemption.
