Iron Man is one of my favorite superhero origin stories and movies. The movie introduces us to Tony Stark, a genius billionaire inventor who is the CEO of Stark Industries, a weapons manufacturing company. A visit to Afghanistan for a weapons test turns disastrous as his convoy gets attacked by terrorists and Tony gets kidnapped and forced to build weapons for them. Tony Stark, however, creates a suit of armor to help him escape the terrorists.
