When remnants of the Ten Rings steal Stark tech, Tony sets out to neutralize the stolen suits, sparking the "Armor Wars." Justin Hammer seeks profit from Tony’s inventions, while Ezekiel Stane, the vengeful son of Obadiah Stane, creates an advanced suit to destroy Tony’s legacy. In their first battle Stane beats Tony and his suit flies away crashing into a barn where he meets a young kid named Harley Keener who helps him with his suit.
