HISTORY

Born as a very gifted child, to the parents of a Biochemist (former Superhero) and a Police Commissioner (also former Superhero); at the age of 4, Eric A. Mason began school.  Starting out as a skinny nerd, his intellect and speed multiplied at a dramatic fold to the point of him graduating from High School at the age of 12.  Entering college he pursued a doctorate degree in Biophysics and at the urging of his father with a concentration in Velocity Mechanics.
Being a 12 year old in college really put a dampener on his social life, but he was given his own lab space and poured into his work.  Since his father had noticed his overwhelming speed, reading textbooks in which would normally take days in one or two hours.  He pushed Eric away from sports, which caused him to focus more on his academic goals.   But living on campus, yet close to home allowed him to choose to do something on his own.
Just a year before graduation, Eric began to gradually bulk up for some unknown reason.  Which yielded strength, which also grew with his body mass.  So tried out for the college football team seeing no need not too.  Earlier that day he had been into making a with drawl where he bumped into a man at the bank, the man was wearing a trenchcoat and considering some people being could he didn't think anything of it, till later he saw the news of the same bank and the man he had bumped into had been James Sanders (AKA Speed Demon).  With is so-called vaunted intelligence none of this really made him think anything of it till months later.  He made it back to tryouts just in time.
He was teased for trying to compete with "the Big Dogs" on campus. But, the tryouts were successful; he came close to running a 3 flat 40-yard dash.  This was what really impressed the coach and some other members of the team; but not Thomas.
Thomas 'the Plow' Reilly, he was called because he would plow the ground with you and bury you there.  He was going to show Eric what it was really like in the big leagues.  So with practice and the season fastly approaching, the collision between the two of them was imminent.  Two days of practice, both of them showing what they are truly made of.  But, for some odd reason 'the plow' could not get a handle on him, just when Eric seemed to be in his grasp, Eric change course it seemed almost instantly.  Refusing to be showed up by a newbie, especially a 'nerd' in front of his boys. "Never."
Tom asked the coach to run a particular play that the other team was known for running and scoring Touchdowns with.  This play would put Eric right where he wanted him, straight down the center-right into his arms where he would knock the wind out of Eric and if he happened to break a couple of ribs, 'Hey that would be a bonus, that would teach the scrub a lesson."  The coach ran the play.  Eric had no idea what was about to happen, but as fate would have it another muscle cramp kicked in before he was to run.  The coach stopped him, but Eric told the coach that he was all right.  The ball was snapped the quarterback spun around to hand off the ball to Eric, who seemed to move like lightning; so fast he almost missed him with the ball.  The linemen moved to open up the hole between the defensive men and 'The plow' was standing in the gap waiting for his moment in the sun.  Waiting for the chance to destroy this new upstart, to his reigning throne.  He charged.  The two forces collided finally, but what he saw in his moment of triumph was a blur of motion that would not be stopped.  Eric ran at top speed, he hit Tom like a leaf in a tornado.  Tom was left in the dust, but not without suffering the consequences of attacking a hurricane.
The force was so strong that several teammates swore that they heard a popping sound when Eric ran by.  The team medic rushed to the field to check on their other star player, to find that Tom now had a shattered collarbone and broken scapula.  Eric had scored a TD, but he looked back to see that his practice touchdown had come at the price of a shattered career.  Realizing what the cramps actually were too late, Eric stripped out of his uniform down to his shorts and walked off the field.  His dreams of stardom would have to come through other means.  He eventually apologized to Tom and even helped him to study for his own degree.  They would never be friends, but they were compatriots.   So from that point on, his main focus became his studies just as his father would have wanted, he quit football
But, for Eric, this was only the beginning; with only three months left in order to defend his dissertation at the humble age of 17.  His popularity rose among the scientific community, his ideas on the study of speed and biological density were astounding even to his professors.  Who made his ideas of national knowledge, the press knew about some of his discoveries and theories, since he had patented several of his ideas for cancerous agents in therapies he was now making national news.  Yet most of this would come after the death of his father.
It was several days later, when fate had decided to let it rain on his parade.  His mother had called and said that she was upset, she did not want to be the one to tell him but she knew that his father wouldn't. She started slowly.
"What's wrong?"  He said.  In a very demanding, voice that was actually fueled by fear.
"It's your father", she said.  "He has cancer!"  The phone dropped from his hand and hit the floor with a rubberized thump, with his now enhanced senses he could still hear her.  "You know, how your father hates to go to the doctor."  Hearing the tears in her voice.  I am afraid that the doctors here say, that it is terminal and that there is nothing that they can do.  He might actually have from two months to two years, they don't know.
"Have they tried..." He named off several different tests, all of which his mother had agreed that they had tried.  "I am on my way home."
"NO!"  She said, adamantly.  "You still have 3 weeks of school left you can come home then."
"But, Mom?"  No longer able to fight back his own tears.  "I need to be home now."
"No, you needed to finish your schooling besides; if you come home now he will know that I told you and he wanted to tell you himself."
"O.k., but mom I need for you to send me dad's medical records.  Fax them to me if you have to just send them to me.  I'll do what, I can on this end, and mom thanks for telling me."
"Love you, son."
"Love you too, Mom. Bye!"  After hanging up the phone, he received a new determination.  That of curing his father.  The next few weeks proved to be very difficult for Eric.  Because despite finding out that his father was dying, his physical cramps returned.  His strength was increasing again as well as his speed; He found that on some days he needs to use the metal test tubes that he had ordered after his first strength enhancing incident.  He also no longer required a centrifuge for a lot of his separation techniques.
But, for all of his physical changes, his social life suffered because he could not tell his girlfriend for a month that his father was dying.  Which actually came when she threatened to leave because she got tired of asking.  He worked day and night, some days without food or sleep; his extra endurance providing him with the stamina to stay alert.  But, even his body craved food; without know it time passed by and he was still no closer to a cure.
In the waking hour of the 37th day of testing, he discovered that one of the cancerous lab specimens that he had been testing was in remission. He thought that this was the greatest thing that had ever happen; he repeated the experiment twice and both time with the same result cancerous remission.  "Success."  Was the only thing that had gone through his mind, he immediately packed.  Asked for a temporary leave of absence and flew home on the next plane leaving for Texas.
While on the way Eric received a phone call, from home.
"Come quick, something is wrong with your father!"  Leaving his bags at the airport, he rushed home.  Hoping his vaunted speed would be of used to him now.  He was home inside of 50 seconds; from across town.
"What?  What? what.."
"Your father is upstairs, I dialed 9-1-1.  They are on the way."  With a brief rush of wind, he was by his father's side.
"Dad, dad."
"Yeah, son."  In now what was a very raspy voice.
"Dad, I can help.  Dad, let me..."
"No, son when you got here.  I knew it was too late."
"No, Dad?"  With tears now streaming down his face.  "I can help, dad please."
"Son, I just wanted you to know that I always trusted you and I love youuuuuuu."  As his father's voice trailed off.  Eric's vacation turned into an extended stay.  Two weeks after his father's funeral, Eric was still in his old room.  Only slightly willing to help his mom, pack his father's things.  And when he did help, he did it so fast as to not put his hands on his father's things for too long.  Until his mother stopped him and held him and he broke down for the last time.  Even with his pent-up rage, he made his way back to school.
He graduated with his Ph.D.; the youngest student to ever do that from University.  It was a large media gathering, which was to take place a week from Saturday.  His professors asked him to do it previously, which he had agreed to but, his heart was not into it.  He was in his room reading through the paper when he ran across an article dealing with the "Ravages of Mutant Hate in America" By Professor Charles Xavier.  The article interested him because he could not believe that he had forgotten about his other problems.
Although, the cramps had finally gone away;  he was still unsure about what was left in its wake.  So still being angry and frustrated.
As a scientist, he decided to test his own theory:  How fast was he now and how far would his speed take him?  Unsure about the answer to either of these questions, yet sure about the location of a one Charles Xavier. He took off, running as he pushed and pushed to run faster his body more than accommodated his desire.  He passed several cars, a semi-truck, and a sports car on the way to upstate New York.  But, what the genius failed to calculate was the fact; that the overall physical and emotional stress that he was under; combined with the untapped powers in his body began to overload.
This caused his vision to blur; his legs felt like jelly as the world itself wrapped around him.  The next thing that he knew was that there were sirens going off around him.  He was bleeding on the ground, as a door was opening.
That was 12 years ago he still hasn’t quite found his place but realized he is better off here than anywhere else.  Considering his youth, education and current therapy practices.

Mercury

Real Name: Cessily 'Ces' Kincaid
Known Aliases: N/A
Role: Infiltrator, Fighter.

POWERS AND ABILITIES

Malleable Bio-Mercury Form: Cessily's body is composed of a nontoxic liquid 'mercury'. Her form allows her to alter her shape by collapsing into a featureless mass, extending blades from her skin, or molding herself into different forms. Her ability to shape shift extends to the most basic of rudimentary weapons. Cessily's Liquid Mercury form is inorganic.

Self-Sustenance: She is no longer a carbon-based life form and does not eat or breathe the same way as normal humans. Still, she consumes food out of habit and to feel normal.

Telepathic Resistance: She is very hard to telepathically detect or influence while in her mercury form.

Molecular Adhesion: Gives her the ability to cling to solid surfaces and move her body at will even without overt locomotive features.

Enhanced Durability: Skin, bone and muscle that is transformed into liquid mercury makes it stronger and harder than a normal humans; impervious to injury to a certain extent.

Magical Resistance: Due to her transient body, its harder to magically detect, influence, or harm her them other humans and mutants, but her resistance is far from infinite and can be overwhelmed by more skilled magicians.



FAULTS AND WEAKNESSES

Electricity: Severely cripples Ces and causes her to lose most, if not all, control over her form, as well as causing pain.



PERSONALITY: Cessily is terribly, terribly kind, and given the unfair treatment she's been given by her parents, she's become a very fair person, and has no qualms about speaking out (or acting out) against anyone when she thinks a situation is unfair or biased. This stubbornness could easily lead to her or others getting put in danger if she views a rule as biased or unfair, and she chooses not to follow it. She doesn't tolerate bullying, and will always speak out against that, as well. Very rarely will Cessily let these things go unnoticed, and she hasn't quite learned to apply the phrase "pick your battles" to herself yet.Though she has her passion, Cess rarely holds a grudge. She's very forgiving, and expects similar treatment in return.

AFFILIATION AND TRAINING: Xavier Institute (before its closing), Jean Grey School for Higher Learning, X-Men, The Hellions.

BACKGROUND: Cessily lived a completely normal life and was a beloved only child, until her mutation developed. Her body changed to a metallic, mercury-like substance. Her parents did not know how to deal with this change. While they did not reject her outright, they shipped her off to Xavier's, hoping the neighbors would never know about their mutant daughter.

     Tracer


       Real Name: June Halliday
       Known Aliases: Blink (Her First Codename)
       Role: Patrol; June believes she’s more useful for gathering info and reconnaissance, with fighting her second best trait.

Powers and Abilities:
     June herself does not have any strange abilities, but her Chronal Accelerator allows her to jump a few seconds in time, essentially allowing her to teleport a few feet. She can teleport others along with her, but they have to be touching, and the risk is high, which only allows June to use it in dire situations.

Training and Equipment:
     In university, June was the fastest track runner in her school, causing her to have high bouts of stamina for running and body movement. As well, she participated in other sports, such as pole vaulting and high jumps, training her body to take jumps and tumbles safely and easily, and requires a fit and flexible body to move and recover in a timely manner.

     Once she was found and given the Chronal Accelerator, she was trained with other resistance fighters, learning hand to hand combat, tactical training, and stamina training for fights that would soon happen in the war. June was trained more regarding her Accelerator, and was given a pair of Pulse Pistols, guns that shoot out bullets of energy that can either stun, or kill, her enemies, and a uniform that she could easily maneuver and move in (one that she insisted on creating). Her guns can be fixed to her arm guards for easy and quick access, and she wears a pair of tactical goggles that can scan tech and surrounding areas, and are connected to what remanants that the public has to the internets and databases that the resistance has.

Background and History:
      A girl from the 80’s, June was an up and coming track star with multiple offers to Track teams all over the U.S., all while attending college from a scholarship from one of Britain’s top Universities, having moved from the U.S after her parents booked a job in London. Her dream was short lived however, when one of her university friends invited her to their lab to show them a project that they had been working on, involving space time, and the theory of time travel. A malfunction occurred in the machines software, however, and it resulted in the machine breaking down and exploding, but not before releasing a pulse wave that hit June and her friends. While her friends perished, June herself was broken from the inside out, down to the molecular level, causing her to brake apart from her present time she lived in. Disappearing from hours to days, to suddenly appearing for only an hour, or a few minutes, she ended up becoming a living ghost, with almost none able to see her or interact with her. Presumed dead, she was forced to live her days, not aging, as she was unable to control where she would end up within the space of time.

Then, suddenly, as if by some sudden miracle, she materialized within a stabilizing chamber, made specifically to find time alterations within the space time continuum by a group of researchers trying to find ways that could help and stop Thanos during the beginnnings of the War, three decades in the future. Unable to find a way a cure for what was keeping her from disappearing once again, it was the notes and blueprints from Tony Stark’s own Arc Reactor that inspired the researchers to create what was dubbed the “Chronal Accelerator”, a device that, when attached to her body, keeps her physically attached to the current timeline. A medical and scientific phenomenon, June found that her place in the world was turned upside down once Thanos began his reign over Earth. In gratitude to the researchers, June agreed to help them figure out a way to help end the War that Thanos created, and trained to become a fighter to help the world return to the way it was, as a new Hero known as Tracer.

Faults and Weaknesses:

     -After going through the trauma of flowing through time with no way to connect or communicate with others, June has had on and off going PTSD, due to the nightmares she has of appearing and reappearing throughout time. Flashes of memories that she can and cannot remember plague her, causing her to sometimes partake in alcoholism to get rid of the plaguing night terrors.

     -Originally from the 80’s, June hasn’t had much time to understand the sudden shift of decades that had passed her by. Figuring out some technology changes and cultural cues has caused some culture shock (as well as outdated puns that she still uses), but she tries her best to fit in, even if the world around her doesn’t fit.

     -Her Chronal Accelerator is an extremely constant worry. Being used as the anchor that keeps her within the physical world, the device has caused her constant fear and stress. The devices durability is strong, enough to withstand gunshots and hard punches, but it also becomes a constant target, a weakness. Unable to really understand all the science that goes into the device, June continues to work, all while trying not to worry if she’ll end up disappearing once again. As well, her Accelerator gives her the ability to “blink” forward a few seconds, essentially allowing her to teleport a few feet. However, her Accelerator does have a limit to these jumps, with only allowing a chain of them to happen every 10 seconds. Once the four have passed, her accelator has to have a cool down of 20 seconds, or else she’s at risk of causing it to malfunction, or die out on her.

Thr goups still going, im just having some serious GM issues.

[Daelen]

If you need someone to discuss issues with, I offer my services as someone who has both GMed before, and been in a lot of games in general. If you'd rather talk to someone outside of the game I definitely understand, but the offer stands, my PMs are open.

[VoluptuousVixen]

After some thinking I feel like The Sentry might be a bit more powerful than GM desires, after reading through his powers and such. As such I am going to submit Iron man as well.

Iron Man


== Character Bio ==

== Personal Information ==
Legal Name:Tony Stark
Alias: Iron Man
Age: 28
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Part of New York Residing In: Avengers Tower

== Physical Description == 

Tony is 6’ 1' tall and weighs roughly 225 lbs. He has a muscular build blue eyes and black hair which he wears short with a goatee.

== Persona == 
         

Tony's father had provided seemingly infinite financial resources but deficient emotional support. Further, we knew that Tony had inherited an extremely intelligent and curious cognitive capacity along with a lonely and guarded demeanor. He never received the unconditional warmth and validation from his father that he (and anyone else for that matter) needed to love himself. He suffered from a faulty attachment that engendered two maladaptive personality features - a fragile, loathing sense of self and a sense of others littered with equally profound pessimism and mistrust.

As an adult, he walked around with an "unloved child" chip on his shoulder, operating from an attachment-template of emotional deprivation and rejection. These deeper, darker views of self and others were so painful that Tony developed a defense in the form of narcissism, which effectively cushioned (at least in the short-term) the rejection he experienced as a child, levied on himself, and expected from others. The downside was a self-imposed wall between himself and his feelings as well as himself and all those around him.

Tony's narcissistic defense is on frequent display as evidenced by his love of the spotlight (i.e. his announcement to the world that he is Iron Man does more for his ego then world peace), his preening performances within the spotlight (i.e. witty insults aimed at authority) and his morose response when the spotlight is taken away or tainted by a negative public perception (i.e. the many moments when the media castigates him and he retreats, in a funk, to his cellar of toys).

Fortunately a psychological cure for his faulty attachment enters the equation in the form of a love letter from the grave. While watching an archived video in an effort to upgrade his Iron Man technology, Tony observes a never-before-seen, rehearsed speech from his father that provides all the confidence-boosting affection of a secure attachment. Tony can now say to himself, "Dad loved me after all. How about that!"








== Key Skills/Powers ==

Tony Stark is a phenomenal scientific genius and inventor, thanks largely to his body-wide neural tissue, which enhances his intelligence and gives his body fantastic regenerative capacity.  He is multilingual, has nearly total recall, and has a seemingly limitless capacity for multitasking. Tony has a genius level intellect that allows him to invent a wide range of sophisticated devices, specializing in advanced weapons and armor, as well as a keen business mind.

While many people believe that Tony Stark needs training outside of his Iron Man suit, he isn’t just a skilled combatant when he’s wearing his armor. He is also fairly skilled in hand to hand combat and isn’t afraid to charge into a fight minus his suit. He’s received training from multiple different Avengers and Black Panther, so Stark has received training from some of the best fighters around.

==Equipment==

Iron Man Armor:  His Iron Man armor grants him tremendous superhuman strength and durability, enabling both supersonic flight and submersible travel, and houses repulsor rays; the repulsor ray can repel physical and energy-based attacks, traveling as either a single stream or as a wide-field dispersal. A uni-beam, mind-impairing "thought-scramblers," "light-negativity" devices allowing short-term invisibility, force field generators, a tracking system, communications tech and onboard computers. The armor has also been outfitted with pulse bolts (extremely powerful plasma discharges which grow in strength as they seek their target), sonic generators, explosive shell projectiles, mini-missiles, magnetic field generators and a laser torch built into the finger of Tony’s gauntlet. The armor’s surface can generate an electric charge to dispel attackers. He can manually recharge his armor from outside sources or draw additional power from a network of dedicated satellites.

His significant suit advancements eventually led to it being stored within his body. The suit was inside of his hollowed out bones. This version of his suit is a kind of Extremis Armor, specifically known as “Bleeding Edge Armor.” Stark used a nanotechnology, referred to as Extremis, to help store the armor in his bones as well as connect to it his brain. He was physically linked up with his armor at all times. He could control his armor with a simple thought, as if it was just an extension of his human body. If he needed his suit, he would mentally bleed the armor out onto his body. It would mimic the typical red and gold armor, it was just formed in a different way, making him more half machine, half man. The nanotechnology doesn’t just form to look like the Iron Man suit, however. It can take the form of any shape, including clothing and and other armors.

Iron Man isn’t just quick because of his suit. Even when he isn’t covered in gold and red, he has super-human reflexes. He already moves pretty quickly because his suit is state of the art, but the Extremis virus gave him quicker reactions and movements than before. After being fatally injured, Stark reconfigured the Extremis virus in order to heal himself. This linked his body to his armor. Since his mind and body were directly linked to his suit’s operating system, he gained enhanced reflexes. The direct link to his brain made his response time way quicker than with his old suit. All he had to do is think about a movement and it would happen in less than an instant. This would shave milliseconds off of his actions and provide him an advantage over his opponents in a fight. These reflexes are quick enough to be the difference between life and death. It was the equivalent of him being a cyborg. His new reflexes could rival even Peter Parker’s Spidey senses.

Along with all of the other abilities that Stark gained with Extremis, he also received the ability to communicate with technology. His brain developed a technopathic bond with all of the machinery in the world. This includes his own suits. This essentially makes him a human super-computer, especially when he is fully suited up. He can make his armor mold into whatever shape he wishes and can make it do just about anything. His powers went beyond simply communicating with the technology directly around him. Stark could even go as far as to connect with satellites in low orbit around the Earth. This mechanical manipulation connects him to every type of machinery imaginable. This goes hand in hand with his ability to tap into worldwide communications systems. He has a link to every piece of technology in the world and has no problem hacking into any sort of wireless signal. He can essentially track anyone, anywhere and can make a phone call from anywhere without even moving or physically speaking. It could be argued that Stark’s technopathy is one of his strongest abilities, making him more powerful than ever before. It’s hard to fight someone who can bend any form of technology to his will within seconds.

His suit can patch and repair itself, and thanks to the Extremis virus, Stark can now heal himself. Extremis-enhanced people are able to heal at an incredibly quick pace. After reconfiguring the virus to heal himself after being injured, he gained the ability to heal much quicker than the average human and can produce entirely new organs if he needs to.

It may not seem like the most exciting or strongest power in the world, but Iron Man can fly undetected by radar. It’s used for covert missions where he needs to remain essentially invisible. It possesses multiple scanning devices as well as wave modifiers that can overpower radar rays and keep him hidden.

His latest armor much sleeker than his older, clunky armor and operates on molecular nanotechnology, which allows it to change shape and color. The armor basically combines all of the capabilities of his previous suits into one efficient version. It can separate and reconfigure itself within seconds, essentially giving Stark the ability to shape-shift. Stark can use it to create different types of weaponry on the spot, like blades, cannons, and guns, as well as make himself look as though he’s wearing regular clothes when it’s just the suit.

The armors ability to project holographic decoys while he is in battle to confuse his opponents. This is one of his most important defensive abilities. He can produce more than one decoy at a time to bait his enemies into paying attention to the clones while he focuses on the task at hand. This is also useful when he needs to avoid weapons and incoming attacks. He also has chameleon-type blending abilities he can use while his decoys are out flying around so he can sneak around in enemy territory or break into wherever he is going

==Weaknesses==

Tony Stark has always been a flirt. Women have a certain power over him, although Pepper Potts seems to have stolen his heart. However, flirting and romance have always been a bit of a weakness for Iron Man. These playboy ways are easily exploited and can cause issues for Iron Man. His womanizing tendencies don’t seem very heroic, and instead highlight the fact that he’s still human and prone to vices, just like anyone else.

While Iron Man is incredibly powerful, a lot of that power comes directly from technology. Like other heroes, such as Vision, without it, he wouldn’t be nearly as super. While Tony Stark is incredibly intelligent, he couldn’t really lead the Avengers without his Iron Man gear. His dependence on technology is one of his biggest weaknesses.

Tony Stark, can be incredibly over-confident. A big ego is a central character trait of Iron Man. Stark has always been able to get what he wanted. He grew up with a billionaire father and inherited that as well as his power. He’s also incredibly intelligent and is totally aware of it, and he also catches the attention of quite a few women. All of this has built his confidence to the point he’s incredibly cocky. While showing confidence can be a strength, showing too much is dangerous. Not only can it cause him to overestimate himself, it also pushes people close to him away. Stark’s tendency to be arrogant and entitled makes him a little hard to work with. He doesn’t always play well with others.

== Background ==

Anthony "Tony" Stark was born to Howard Anthony Stark and Maria Collins Carbonell Stark, owners of the prominent US firm, Stark Industries. As a boy, Tony was fascinated with building and controlling machines. At the age of 15 Tony entered the undergraduate electrical engineering program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and graduated with Ph.D.s in physics and electrical engineering by age 19. Tony went to work for Stark Industries, but showed more interest in living a reckless playboy lifestyle than using his engineering skills. At the age of 21, Tony inherited Stark Enterprises when his parents were killed in a car accident secretly orchestrated by rival corporation Republic Oil (later ROXXON). Still lacking in business acumen, Tony promoted secretary Virginia "Pepper" Potts to be his executive assistant and left the majority of his workload on her so that he could avoid what he saw as a burden.

Tony personally attended a field test of his military hardware at one of his international plants; however, soon after his arrival Stark’s party was attacked by a gang of terrorists led by the Sin-Cong revolutionary Wong Chu. During the skirmish, a land mine went off and lodged a piece of shrapnel near Tony’s heart. Taken back to Wong-Chu’s camp, Tony shared a cell with Professor Ho Yinsen, a world-famous physicist. Wong-Chu demanded that the two scientists develop advanced weaponry for his forces. Knowing that he could not live long with the shrapnel so close to his heart, Tony proposed that he and Yinsen devote their gifts to creating one of the battlesuits he had been developing, equipped with a magnetic field generator to prevent the shrapnel from reaching his heart. The armor they created became the first true Iron Man armor and was equipped with crude magnetic weaponry for defense. While the armor’s battery was being powered, some of Wong-Chu’s men attempted to break in on the proceedings. Yinsen went to create a diversion and was shot to death by Wong-Chu’s men. When the battery had finished charging, Tony went into battle as Iron Man and tore Wong-Chu’s camp apart. He eventually returned to the USA with the aid of US Marine James "Rhodey" Rhodes. Tony offered Rhodey a job with his company should he ever need one.At first, Tony found his new life a torment; his armor’s chest plate had to be worn constantly and required frequent recharging. He kept the armor a secret from everyone, including his fiancée, Joanna Nivena. Turning suicidal and drinking heavily, Tony was supported by Joanna, with whom he shared his secret identity. Joanna encouraged him to use his armor as a super hero, but ultimately called off the engagement knowing Tony would not be the family man she desired.

Tony worked to improve the Iron Man armor and claimed Iron Man was Tony Stark's personal bodyguard to disguise his identity. Tony played a dual-role with the formation of theAvengers both as the sponsor and, as Iron Man, as a founding member along with Thor, Ant-Man (Henry Pym), the Wasp (Janet van Dyne), and the Hulk. While pursuing Namor the Sub-Mariner, Iron Man came across the comatose body of Captain America (Steve Rogers) Rogers), the famous World War II super hero, preserved on ice. Revived, Captain America joined the Avengers and became an important teammate and friend to Tony. Later, Tony helped establish the international super-spy agency SHIELD to combat terrorist threats.

Tony continued to work on and develop his armor creating a vast number of models which were mostly destroyed by his own hand. His current armor however is his most advanced of them all.
