Tony Stark is your run-of-the-mill genius, playboy, billionaire, philanthropist and weapons dealer who is living the life but even though he's known for his irresponsible and arrogant attitude, Tony had it all. That is not until he goes on a trip to Afghanistan where he gets captured by a group of terrorists called "The Ten Rings" while he was demonstrating the new missile to a group of American soldiers. Their leader forced Stark to build a missile to cause mass destitution or else he will face the consequences and die but with the help of another prisoner Stark builds a suit of armor with a special arc reactor that will help him escape. After he comes back to America, Stark finally decides not to sell weapons anymore and instead upgrades his suit of armor into something very Invincible. Meanwhile in Russia, the Russian Government finds out that Stark is ripping off their powered exoskeletons so they call Anton Vanko, a Soviet Scientist who used to work with Tony's father to build a powerful version of their exoskeleton and go to America to sabotage Stark Industries and defeat their American counterpart. When Stark finds out that someone is sabotaging his company, he must put on the suit and defeat the powerful exoskeleton "Crimson Dynamo".
