Science fiction novelist Orson Scott Card makes his Marvel debut to tell the origin of Tony Stark in the Marvel universe. Due to exposure to experimental material at childbirth, Tony Stark was born with extremely active neural tissue making him both super-smart and super-sensitive, requiring the use of experimental suits from birth. This story features the fall of Tony's father, Howard Stark, by the actions of Zebediah Stane and the dire necessity that forged the invention of the Iron Man armor.
This series continues in Ultimate Iron Man II. |
