Whether with the government’s help or not, whether by the law or by breaking it, Iron Man is on a mission to take it all back. In the second chapter, "Glitch!", Marvel tech-villains are using Tony Stark's super technology to commit their crimes. And believe me, “he's not happy about it.” Tony Stark finds out that his Iron Man armor technology was stolen and could be the catalyst for the technology these villains use. The Beetle, Stilt Man, Titanium Man, Controller, Crimson Dynamo, and more all use super advanced technology to make the weapons and armor. In the first issue, "Stark Wars!" #225, it is made known that there are an abundance of technology based villains in the Marvel Universe. Each chapter is a lot of fun, and the intensity increases with each issue. Stark also gets in conflict with Steve Rogers. Things get a bit tricky when he goes after armor owned by the U.S. Stark was faced with no choice but to defy laws and forcibly reclaim his property. Stark then invents the "Negator Packs" that could destroy his technology on contact. Horrified that his technology could be used by others to kill, Stark decides to take matters into his own hands and neutralize any technology based on his work.
When Tony Stark is analyzing the armor used by a former villain he discovers that much of the technology in the suit is based on his own designs. In “Armor Wars,” Stark’s worst fear comes true. With a good amount of action to be found in this series, the storytelling, character development, and themes outweigh the excitement of the battles. It is a fantastic story of obsession, guilt, and justice with awesome battles where Iron Man has to take down a bunch of armored bad guys. While "Armor Wars" is the popular name for the storyline and is the name used for the trade paperback collection, the actual story is referred to as "Stark Wars" within the issues themselves. Now, when you read this story, don’t get confused by the story arc title, “Armor Wars”. As for the shocking epilogue, it is one of the best single-issue Iron Man tales ever. In fact, I’d say this classic storyline has placed Marvel into the dark, modern age of comics.
While the “Demon in a Bottle” storyline tends to be the most talked about, “Armor Wars” remains one of my all-time favorite. It features the creative team of David Michelenie, Mark Bright, and Bob Layton. Recently, I acquired the Armor Wars story arc in Volume 1, issues #225-231, and “Armor Wars: Epilogue”, issue #232. I started by collecting and reading some of the defining stories of the character Iron Man like “Iron Man is Born”, “Demon in a Bottle”, “The Confession”, “Deliverance”, “Iron Monger”, and “The World’s Most Wanted” to name a few. In my bucket list, I want to collect every Iron Man comic. His abilities are tangible, and that’s what makes him my favorite. But what made him “super” is his ability to combine all those skills and maintain an interest in humanity. His powers are all within the human grasp and if you have the intelligence, imagination, work ethic, focus, money and willingness to take chances, you too can be Iron Man. Not until about 20 years ago, when I really got into comic books, Iron Man quickly became my favorite superhero.

I remember watching their TV shows in the 70’s when I was a kid. Batman and Spider-Man are two of the most popular and favorited superheroes ever.
