Synopsis

Tony Stark is a wisecracking playboy industrialist making millions from producing hi-tech weapons. But once he opens his eyes to the horror caused by his company's products he decides to use his talents to build himself an incredible armoured suit and, as Iron Man, to fight for good and destroy the weapons he's helped create - however, he soon finds he has enemies who don't want to let that to happen. A hugely entertaining, action-packed Marvel adventure.
