Tony Stark is brought up on charges at the Court at Hague. Photos and witnesses show Iron Man as attacker, presumably hired by Putin to destroy Volstok, center of a resistance movement against him. Tony has no alibi for the day of the attacks, working alone in his lab. A huge payment of cash was made to Stark's account around the time of the attack. Red Guardian testifies how when he and Crimson Dynamo sought to capture Stark he donned the Iron Man armor and fought back like a guilty man until Pepper Potts advised him via radio to surrender. The evidence is overwhelming. In Volstok, Anton Vanko creates a suit out of the armor shot off of Iron Man, complete with electric whips, vowing revenge against Stark as Whiplash. Stark rejects the government's efforts to release his technology to the military. At the Monza race, a man appears who, wearing a very similar suit, causes a formula racing car accident and then attacks Stark. The attacker is Ivan Vanko, the descendant of a Russian scientist who once helped Tony's father found Stark Technologies. He is kidnapped from prison by Tony's competitor Hammer, who wants him to secretly make Iron Man suits for him. But Vanko works on drones - war robots. He makes an Iron Man suit for himself and uses secret software and robots to attack the audience and Tony at an exhibition of technological war innovations. He is called back to court and found guilty. Pepper and Rhoades fight Whiplas. Whiplash’s armor is connected to the Volstok attack.
