Iron Man: Armored Adventures

-Well, what do you think? -Colorful.

But your dad will invent something else to top this.

You are like dueling evil geniuses.

Not this time, Rhodey. This one's different.

He's gonna freak out.

Come, we'll show him.

Some of us go to school. Ever heard of it?

Sounds awful. I'll call to tell you how it went.

Oh, yeah. I'm holding my breath, starting right now.

Hey.

Morning, T. Your dad came down about an hour ago.

Thanks, John.

-Hi, Tony. -Hey, Kev.

Hey, Matt, what's up? Hi, Carol.

-Hi, Tony. -Hey, Tony. How's it going?

Hi, Trish.

Look who finally came out of his lab.

Your dad is inside.

Thanks.

No. Proceed with the earth mover trial run.

I'll be there in an hour. I'll have the ring with me.

Good. See you then.

Are the laser systems I did for the earth mover ready?

Or are you still in "ancient history" mode?

Very funny.

They've already tested the lasers

and use them in the field today. Come to see them with me.

Actually...

I've got something to show you.

At the testing grounds. Something big.

Big? Well, in that case...

Howard!

It's OK, Trish. What can I do for you, Obadiah?

Why did you reject my proposal

for repurposing the earth movers?

The military will pay billions for them, when modified.

Modified?

You want to turn an invention

to improve people's lives into a weapon.

It won't happen.

This is insane, Howard!

You cost the company and shareholders...

A fortune. I know.

But Stark International is my company.

Howard! Please, be reasonable.

It's my company and my word is final.

Ah!

I don't think Obadiah is happy with you.

I think you're right.

I've got one quick stop to make

and then we'll see what's got you so excited.

Some historians have theorized

the Chinese had explorers in the New World

long before the Europeans did.

The archeological site we found,

the artifacts we're recovering,

it's a mystery that's connected to the Makluan Rings.

Wow, is that boring!

They thought the rings were magic, but we're learning

they may actually be a form of technology.

Imagine, technology more advanced than we have now,

but hundreds, thousands of years before

the Industrial Revolution.

For someone supposedly shaping the future,

your hobbies are really old school.

Take a look, smart guy.

There's your genius at work down there.

The light laser and targeting system

you invented acts like a scalpel.

Combined with seismographic readings,

the earth mover won't only revolutionize archaeology,

but just imagine the benefits for disaster relief.

Collapsed buildings, cave ins...

Your invention will save lives, Tony.

It made your last invention look like a school project.

And that's why I'm grounding you for a month.

What?

You're so easy, it's not even fun.

Howard.

What? Giving up the magic ring?

Only for the day.

We'll do comparative analysis of it

and the artifacts we've found here at the site.

The more we find about it,

the better chance we have to unlock the ring's secrets.

OK, Tony, let's get to the testing grounds

and see what you've got.

-Yes, Trish? -I'm sorry, Howard.

It's Mr. Stane. He insists on talking to you.

It's OK, Trish. Put him through.

I think I'll have to let Obadiah go.

He's obsessed with weapons.

I bet a million this is about the earth movers again.

You're on.

I'm going to prep before we land.

I want to talk about the earth mover deal.

Hooray, I'm rich!

It's your last chance to approve this, Howard.

Well, I'll have to refuse one last time, then, Obadiah.

Huh?

Dad!

Breakfast is ready, Tony.

Thanks, Mrs. Rhodes. Be right there.

James is downstairs.

Once you've eaten you can go to Stark International,

then head to school.

It'll be OK, Tony. You'll see.

Can you check? I have a rendezvous.

And you said your name was?

Tony. Tony Stark.

Yeah, you know, as in Stark International?

The company you work for?

They've got an appointment with Mr. Stane.

His name is Stark.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

You can go up.

Finally!

Not you. Just him.

What?! Oh, come on!

It's OK, Rhodey.

Are you up for this?

Yeah.

Hey, it's still my dad's company, right?

Trish!

Huh?

Mr. Stane will see you now, Tony.

I want them brought up to the specs the military sent.

You have my authorization as CEO.

What's going on, Obadiah? What are you doing with...

Tony, Tony, Tony, don't worry.

Stark International is in good hands.

Nothing you need to be concerned with.

I'm so sorry we didn't have more time to talk

after your father's funeral.

It hit us all so hard.

But I promise I'll take care of everything

until you're legally ready to take over.

I want to get in. My father built this company. He wanted...

This is what your father wanted, Tony.

Living with the Rhodes,

going to school, being a normal kid.

I want all my researches, and my father's notes, and...

All, you and your father worked on, is company property.

Stark International is a business, after all,

not your personal playground.

Mr. Stane, your next appointment is here.

I'm glad we had this talk, Tony.

I'll see you again when you turn 18.

-Hey, how did it go? -Grr!

Never mind.

Look at it this way. In two years, you can fire him.

It'll be worth the wait.

Do we have to do this... this school thing?

Can't we ditch or something?

I'll show you the lab I'm fixing up.

No. If Mom heard we skipped your first day of school,

she would crush us. She is a lawyer, remember?

Why would my dad want me to go to school?

It makes no sense. He taught me all I need...

Oops!

You know, maybe I should give this a try.

What you're looking at here is widely thought to be

the hardest equation in the world,

and has yet to be solved.

What we're doing today is far less difficult, and...

Sir...

42?

Uh...

With superconducting transition temperatures,

the physics of solid state matter...

Professor, do you have any other physics books?

This one seems a little... out of date.

Then the energy pulse gives the system

a simultaneously positive and negative charge,
