For Iron Man, this was only the beginning.

Iron Man 2

CHAPTER 1

A massive aircraft soared through the sky. Below it, lights flashed and people screamed. When Iron Man tipped himself out of the cargo door of the plane and began soaring towards the ground, an observer might have thought he was diving into a war zone. But no... this was more like a Hollywood movie premiere.

It was opening night of the Stark Expo, a show sponsored by Stark Industries that brought together the best and brightest minds from around the world to share ideas and new technologies.

The crowd on the Expo grounds poured into the Tent of Tomorrow. They had already been treated to a montage, on the giant video screens, of Iron Man's recent exploits: an aerial tango with a barrage of shoulder-fired missiles, a lightning raid on a pirate ship off the Horn of Africa, a head-on collision with an air-to-air missile, whose explosion coming over the Expo sound-system was loud enough to register on nearby seismometers. The crowd loved it.

And they exploded at the sight of Iron Man falling from the sky to execute a perfect somersault at the last moment and land at the centre of the stage.

Robot arms sprouted from the stage and formed a framework around Tony Stark, unlocking the invisible joints on the Mark IV suit and lifting it away from his body. From the crowd's perspective, it appeared that Iron Man had been disassembled and a tuxedo-dad Tony Stark constructed in his place. The whole procedure took only a few seconds. Tony was a genius inventor and billionaire who had created the Iron Man suit so that he could help people and fight the evils of the world.

"It's good to be back!" he called out over the tumult. He paused for a moment to get his breath. Six months earlier, when he'd turned himself into the armoured superhero, he hadn't known what a physical toll it would take: Between the explosions, the late nights and the recent problems with palladium, Tony Stark was not the man he had once been. But he had a show to put on.

"Ladies and gentlemen," he began. "Decades ago, my father, , Howard Stark, began a grand tradition. Every ten years, he would level the playing field for inventors by building a city. An idealized city. A city - of the future. An Expo where for five glorious months, scientists, world leaders, and corporate CEOs could come together to pursue one goal: advancing mankind." .

The giant TV screen behind him lit up with archival footage of the first Expo. The camera panned across visions of the future ranging from the fanciful - Your Children's Flying Car Is Here Today! was one slogan that drew a laugh from the crowd - to the hardheaded and practical, all against the backdrop of the New York City skyline.

"A place to do the impossible," Tony said. "A place to unleash ideas." Howard Stark appeared on the screen, shown in his workshop sometime around 1970.
