Armor Wars was first collected in a trade paperback in 1990.Iron Man's Stealth Armor upgraded during the Armor Wars.A short while after, Boris Bullski, returned and reclaimed the mantle of Titanium Man, taking the deceased Gremlin's place amongst the Soviet Super-Soldiers, and wearing his original armor for several years before upgrading. Soon after, during the second Armor Wars, the Living Laser posed as the Gremlin in his Titanium Man armor in order to confuse Stark. During Armor Wars, Iron Man apparently killed the Gremlin in his new Titanium Man armor, when it was set on fire by Iron Man's boot jets. This story would mark Gremlin's final appearance in the mainstream continuity.According to co-writer Bob Layton, this change came about because they thought " Armor Wars" sounded cooler. While throughout its original run in Iron Man this storyline was titled Stark Wars, the name was changed in the collected edition to Armor Wars.Almost immediately, Shooter came up with the premise of Tony Stark's armor designs being stolen and used by his enemies. According to Michelinie, during a brainstorming session, Layton expressed his discontent, and then-editor-in-chief Jim Shooter told him that to get a special type of promotion, they would need an eventful story for them to push. Armor Wars came to be due to Iron Man co-writer Bob Layton's dissatisfaction over the lack of publicity for his and David Michelinie's return to the series.The Armor Wars were then officially over. As he screamed in pain, he woke up, and realized that the dream was just a reflection of his own guilt. The beast that he was fighting absorbed his power, so he reversed repulsors, defeating the creature, but tearing his armor apart, causing an explosion. He confronted James Rhodes in Iron Man armor, tons of corpses, and a living cybernetic world. In his dream he was Iron Man in his old armor fighting a mechanical beast. Little did he know, even though the "Armor Wars" were over now, the nightmare had just begun. Tony went to bed last issue at the very end. Tony Stark then decided he was not going to destroy the new armor like he originally planned, because of what Firepower said: "There'll be others who will kill you. With 9 seconds to spare, Iron Man found the cancellation code for the missile. Firepower was about to launch a missile but his armor was so banged up it was stuck. The new armor actually did some damage to Firepower's armor. Meanwhile, Tony Stark adds the finishing touches to the new Iron Man armor he'd started working on just before the fight with Force He adds a protective circuit that would not let the technology get stolen, and faced Firepower. With the blood all over, everyone in the world except Anthony Stark and James Rhodes thought Iron Man was dead.įirepower then began attacking Stark Enterprises all over the world. Firepower fired a missile and blew it up. He and Rhodes then sent it flying out the helicopter. Tony Stark took off the Iron Man armor and filled with blood packs. The battle took place in the desert, and when Iron Man was almost defeated, he retreated to a helicopter, in which James Rhodes was inside. The government then sent the agent " Firepower" a man in a huge battle suit/armor, after Iron Man. He was an international criminal, now, and Tony Stark "fired" Iron Man. Iron Man had lost his friendship with Steve Rogers, and was no longer an Avenger. Some of his next targets included Stingray, the Mandroids, Crimson Dynamo, Titanium Man ( Gremlin), and others. In their battle, a boy was killed, and acting blindly out of rage, Iron Man defeated the Controller. After that, he went after the Controller. He then confronted the Mauler, who just gave his costume away with no fight. He went after Stilt Man, and used the first of his negator packs on the criminal. Tony Stark suited up as Iron Man and printed out a list of people who had his secrets. Tony Stark then invented "Negator Packs" that could destroy his technology on contact. It was then revealed that Spymaster had stolen some Iron Man armor secrets and had sold them to Justin Hammer, who then sold them to criminals and heroes alike. Tony Stark was examining Forces' armor and realized a lot of the technology resembled that of Iron Man's armor technology. Iron Man had battled the criminal called Force, and had recruited and helped him.
