Iron Man: Armored Adventures

Faster! Move it, morons.

The last thing we need is him finding us.

Easy, Unicorn. Iron Man's been off the radar for weeks.

It's smooth sailing.

Look at this score!

This is still small time, Shrike.

Count Nefaria's days are numbered.

I hear there's serious competition

moving into town, new blood.

Alright, we're finished here. Let's get rollin', boys!

Ya see? In and out in two minutes.

Not a single sign of...

It's Iron Man!

That's not Iron Man, it's...

War Machine!

Drop your weapons and, uh...

Put your hands in the air and, uhh...

Wait, wait! Tell them to get on their knees.

Then put their hands behind their heads.

That's real police procedure!

Could you please hurry?

I'm in a rush to pick up a friend,

and he's rich so he tips really well.

Whoa!

Okay, everyone on your knees!

Hands behind your heads!

But hum...

Drop your weapons!

Seriously? Who is this guy?

Iron Man's cousin. Who cares!

Cut him down!

Uh!

Bad move, fellas.

Uh!

Rhodey? Rhodey, are you there?

I lost you. I'll call you right back!

Tony!

Uh!

Pepper! Pepper, hello?

Aw, great.

Tony!

You're finally back!

Oh, you've been gone so long!

I missed you. Everyone was worried.

Your birthday's soon!

Did you find your dad, Gene or the rings?

Ha ha! I'm happy to see you too.

And hum, no,

I didn't find the rings, or Gene... or dad.

But China's a big place

and I'm not done looking by a long shot.

How's Rhodey?

He's doing super awesome.

He's busting Unicorn and Killer Shrike as we speak!

Ow! Uh...

Gettin' up, eh?

Guess I'll have to set my horn to full power!

Unicorn! Argh!

Uh!

Ah!

Stay down if you know what's good for you!

I don't know, Pepper.

I'm staring to wonder if everything Gene said was a lie.

He was the Mandarin.

I think he lied about dad being alive.

No! Let me... go!

Never!

If you don't, you'll never see your father alive again!

You're lying! My father's gone!

No, he isn't.

I took Howard because I needed information about the rings.

He played me for a fool, Pepper.

He lied, just so I'd let him go.

He stabbed us all in the back.

Ow!

I'm gonna drill my laser-horn

right through your spine, War Machine!

Warning. Temperature rising. Danger level imminent.

Ugh... Gotta turn down the oven.

Firing shoulder rockets!

Oh!

Who calls themselves Unicorn anyway?

Not scary, dude!

Argh!

Pepper, I'm heading to the meeting place.

I'll see you and Tony soon.

For all the bad things Gene did,

he saved all of our lives at least once. Me twice!

Pepper, he destroyed the plane that took my dad's life!

Dad!

Uh...

Uh...

He took everything away from me and gave me this.

I know. I'm sorry. I just...

Where do you think Gene is?

Probably in some cushy penthouse in Hong Kong,

living it up.

The translation was either wrong

or intentionally concealed the truth.

There aren't five rings of power, but ten.

And whoever wields them gains mastery over creation itself.

You don't know that for sure, Gene.

Bringing all ten rings together could have dire consequences.

So you keep saying, Stark.

But if you don't help me on this quest,

you'll never see your son again.

I am the last of the Khans,

the rightful bearer of the rings.

I am the Mandarin.

And I am getting close.

Why are we going to the Makluan Temple?

It's a surprise, something I was working on

before I left for China.

Rhodey should be waiting for us.

This better be good, Tony.

This place freaks me out to no end.

Exactly. No one comes here 'cause they're too scared to.

It's totally abandoned. The perfect place.

For what?

For this.

Wow!

You... you rebuilt the entire Armory!

In the Makluan temple?

It's kinda weird, but I like it.

It's nearly identical, with a few modifications.

Better defenses. No one's blowing up this place.

The computers are linked

to nearly every spy satellite in the world.

If Gene's out there, we'll find him.

And you get like, every cable channel in existence!

Do you get Breakdancing with Celebrities?

Oh! I love that show!

Can we not use the multi-satellite link-up

to watch incredibly lame TV, Pepper? Thank you.

Woah, woah, woah, woah! Look!

lt's Justin Hammer!

Who's Justin Hammer?

The cutest, richest 21 year old on the planet!

Look at his private jet, Tony.

It's way more expensive than yours!

Uh, who cares?

His company's also the biggest

weapons manufacturer in the world.

They're evil with a capital: Evil.

Why are the cute ones always bad?

Hush! Listen. I wanna hear him.

Last year, Hammer Multinational

has eclipsed Stark International,

becoming the leader in the field of electronics.

Why? Simple. Because we're the best!

So this is who you want?

Some overprivileged brat who inherited his father's fortune?

The brat's a multi-billionaire, Mr. Fix.

I want him taken alive and make sure people see you take him.

I want the city to know fear again.

Whatever you want, sir.

You've paid for all of my upgrades.

And you even footed the bill

for the recreation of my... favorite assassin.

The new and improved Whiplash 3.0.

Impressive. But can you use it to bring down Iron Man?

Iron Man is... nothing to me.

Show our esteemed employer what he's purchased.

Electrostatic whip shields,

able to reflect point-blank repulsors.

New enhanced circles

making him stronger than our armored friend.

And finally...

...flail bombs.

Powerful enough to detonate even the strongest armor.

Against cheap replicas.

I want the real thing.

I can promise you this:

Within 48 hours,

both Justin Hammer and Iron Man will be in our possession.

Alive, or in pieces.

Tony! It's been two days

and you haven't returned my 483 calls

and my 917 text messages.

Oh, go easy on me, Pepper.

Brain hurts... working... no sleep...

Yeah, no deodorant either.

Man, didn't you installed shower down here?

What's with the stubble? Looks like you're growing a goatee!

Ew, gross.

Facial hair so does not look good on you, Tony.

I really don't need this at 9 o'clock at night.
