One must be a sea
to receive a polluted stream
without becoming impure.
Lo, I teach you the Overman.
He is that sea.
In him can your great contempt be submerged
Alright Tony one last race
But we only have a few minutes before
your satellite launches
You can't be late for that
Oh oh oh, I don't expect to be late
I also don't expect to lose
You'd better keep up old man
That was pretty close back there
what's the problem?
You're a little off your game,had too
many cocktails last night
You don't think I'm sharp enough
We'll see who wins my friend
I've got moves you can't even imagine
You spend all that time flying
jets in the air force
And sadly,you still don't have what
it takes to b*at me in a race
Oh I've got what it takes
If you really think that's true let's try this again
in F-15s and see how things turn out
I don't have spare F-15s lying around, you'll
have to make do with your armor
Watch and learn! I'm about to do some
maneuvers only the pros can pull off!
You'd better give up and admit defeat,
Rhodey!
You're falling behind
No one is gonna think less of you for losing
Well, except for me maybe
You're slow fly-boy you're never
gonna catch me
Just watch me!
Ha gotcha!
Well there goes the paint job
You keep forgetting one thing, Tony.
It's not just speed that's involved, I'm an
experienced m*llitary pilot and that counts for a lot
I have years of training under my belt,
In actual combat conditions! I know
tactics and strategy
You're a rookie, who's just got his
license
I knew you couldn't win a fair fight
You said you were experienced in tactics!
You didn't see that coming?
Imagine if outbreaks of v*olence,
m*rder, and terrorism could all be
detected and prevented
before they ever took place!
It sounds like science-fiction, but it's not.
We're here to introduce the new
Howard satellite,
developed by Stark Industries.
This technology will enable the
S.H.I.E.L.D. detection program
to monitor every event and the full range
of human activity, all over the planet.
But there are those who are already
calling it the ultimate spy satellite.
Privacy-rights advocates have demanded
that Stark Industries scrap its deployment.
Tony Stark responded to those
accusations in his presentation last night...
I named this satellite "Howard" after my Dad,
who always watched out for me.
It's a tribute to him.
And for a particular reason.
He believed in the concept of personal
freedom.
The Howard satellite has not been
designed to infringe upon that right.
Instead, it's an all-seeing eye
in the sky with one job, to identify and
prevent trouble before it occurs, 24 hours a
day. Once it's launched and activated, it will
provide relief to the victimized, and
protect countless lives all over the world.
Tony Stark, the CEO of Stark Industries,
who is also known as Iron Man, is
claiming the launch of his new satellite
will provide endless benefits
to ordinary citizens...
With many questions unanswered, there is
much anxiety over potential violations
- of privacy...
- People are wondering whether they're
able to trust this man, who has a
background as a weapons contractor
There're those who say there is a great danger
in putting all of our faith in technology
Who will be in control, man or machine?
Here comes Tony Stark in his Iron Man armor
And Colonel James Rhodes, flying
his w*r Machine!
Obviously, they are both here to reassure
the public.
- Glad you're still alive.
- Not as much as me.
Who the hell are these guys?
They're targeting the Howard.
I've run into these thugs before.
They're armored mercenaries who call
themselves the "Raiders."
They must be paranoid that
the satellite will be able to track their activities.
They're jamming our comms
Data interrupt! We've lost communications!
Scramble our Interceptors
and get them out there.
Rhodey! Now
It's time for us to have a little chat, my friend.
It's the cozy S.H.I.E.L.D. detention selling it
for you
If you stand down and start playing nice
Am I supposed to be scared?
Our employer is much worse than you.
He's far surpassed your capabilities.
He's that good, is he? Maybe
I can find a job for him in my company.
May like take a few decades to workout the
damages but why not?
We've only just begun.
You think you've seen all the damage
we can dish out
The guy who hired us is gonna smash your
satellite into pieces
before you have a chance to play with it
If he's that powerful, why is he so
afraid to show himself?
Oh, he's here.
Oh yeah
He's fast
Rhodey! take care of chuckles will you
I won't be long, I've got a date with
his employer
What .. ah ..Tony
Have all staff except necessary personnel
evacuate immediately!
- We're about to launch the satellite!
- Yes, sir!
Who's there? Only authorized personnel
are allowed in here!
The propellant is secure
- Fuel update!
- Complete, sir!
- Launch pad status!
- Good to go!
- Fire flow complete!
- Countdown continuing.
- 25... 24... 23... 22... 21... 20... 19...
- Wind speed, eight miles per hour!
All systems are green!
Acknowledged!
Good morning.
And goodbye.
J.A.R.V.I.S., What am I looking at?
Unknown phenomenon Sir.
No reference in the database.
Possible presence of corrosive biological cells.
No one escapes.
NO
What!!?
Get away from that
Sir power is dropping. Energy reserves at 55%
Who is this guy?
I'm sorry Sir insufficient data, Genome DNA extract
not possible,Cannot read base sequence
Unknown gene region.
Centrifuge is required to continue analysis.
What kind of monster are you! How could you
sacrifice so many lives for a single satellite?
Say something!
The leaders of all fascist companies
appear to have similar eyes.
So I guess the costume isn't the only
thing that's off about you
People like you who place their faith in
high-technology,
should be placed in museums
with the rest of the fossils.
Actually, coffins would be better.
You knew any better kid, I could till already
that we're not gonna be friends
I am the future.
The future?
Make no mistake, I will be dancing around
your coffin as they drive in the final nail.
I assure you Stark ,you're only delaying
the inevitable
I'm not done with you yet!
Goodbye.
He's gone!.... What the hell is this?
Tony, where are you?
What happened down here?
What's going on in this place?
I'm done on my end!
Tony, are you down here somewhere?
- Don't come any further!
- Are you in trouble?
What's that?
Rhodey
What's the hell just happened?
The control tower's been hit
- Any signs of life Agent Hill?
- I'm afraid not.
Wait! There's...There is some movement
in the rubble!
I think it's..,Yes Sir ,I have confirmation
of one survivor
Send Black Widow down immediately
We need to get an idea of what we're dealing
with here
Damn it! Where are you, Rhodey?
don't mess with me
Come on! We've got drinks pool-side in an hour
you gonna make us late
If you're alive, answer me!
Natasha! Help me find Rhodey! Please!
Stark! I'm sorry Tony,but we need
to get you out of here.
Fury has ordered me
to escort you to the Helicarrier.
S.H.I.E.L.D. will keep looking for him
The medical team
will continue to search for survivors,
but casualties are expected to rise to
more than 300 people.
Nick! Rhodey d*ed! Right in front of me!
And so did a lot of other good people.
Who the hell were these guys?
All our sensors were blocked by a very
powerful electromagnetic field.
Turned out you're the only one who talked to them
I was thinking you could give us some answers.
There's this deranged kid.
His armor was strange.It was very advanced,
I don't think I've ever ...
..seen anything quite like it.
It was techno-organic more advanced than
anything of mine
Techno-organic armor?
I'm gonna find this guy. And when I do,
I'm gonna make him pay for Rhodey!
What's going on Nick?
What are you up to?
You're not leaving this carrier, Stark.
Not until S.H.I.E.L.D. has sorted out
exactly what happened.
Are you suggesting
I had something to do with this?
We have more questions.
What happened just now
is being broadcast everywhere.
It's being played out on every news channel
on every television across the planet.
If we don't provide an explanation
more than one head at the Pentagon
is gonna roll.
But you know how Washington is
and they can have it.
They have enough heads.
Believe me, they can afford to lose a few.
That's not the most important thing now.
We need to get hold of that kid before
he causes any more damage.
Sorry Fury ,got to go
Go after him.
Nick! Will you call off your pit-bulls? for God's sake
I don't have time to mess around, and I'm not
gonna wait for them to launch another att*ck
That's too bad.
I'm the only one who has a chance
against that little freak's technology!
I don't care if you don't believe me,
but I'm telling you the truth,
I'm not enjoying this one bit.
There are rules. And whether you like it
or not, I happen to be duty-bound
to obey them. There'll be hell to pay if I let
our only witness get himself k*lled.
You should know by now I don't follow the rules
Homing missiles locked on and tracking Sir
Thanks a lot for the update!
Wanna play?
Commander, he's gone! We've lost him!
Seriously
Sorry, Tasha.
You bastard
The armor that kid was wearing isn't like
anything I've ever seen.
I'm gonna have to find its weakness.
The Raiders failed.
We'll succeed next time
If I had procured better information on the launch site
The Howard would be dust by now,
I don't know if I have the talent for
revolution that you do
You shouldn't give up in frustration.
Your body has the DNA for it.
There's something I've finally
come to realize.
Even with talent, you need chaos
to give birth to a dancing star.
I'm not sure I have it.
-Someday, man will no longer give birth to any star.
-Someday, man will no longer give birth to any star.
Their guard satellite can not and will not save them
Nor can their false iron-idol saves them from their future
Their history is already written
I just have to overcome their defenses.
Tony Stark.
Tony Stark.
He's in possession of a wide range
of technological icons.
And one of the high-tech graven images
these people place on an altar to worship...
.....is his new satellite.
- He's the high priest of technology.
- Yes.
But it's a conceit
Technology and the people who give birth
to it are nothing more than false idols,
leading society to disaster.
It's a tiresome task.
But these people must be taught the truth.
-Tony
-Pepper I need you
Excuse me?
To check the black market
for illegal bio-tech.
You promised me a full week's vacation!
And anyway, aren't you supposed to be in
Utah for the launch of that new
satellite you developed?
I'll make it up to you, Pep.
I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll get you a bigger villa
and a whole support staff.
Thanks, but you already gave me that to...
..make up for losing last year's vacation.
I did? Okay, then how about I buy you the entire
island or something? come on It's urgent.
- What's going on here?
- I'll tell you inside.
I mean who doesn't want an island?
How long is it
before the satellite goes online?
Everything should be active
within four hours.
We're going to use it
to find its maker.
As of now, priority one
is capturing the fugitive Iron Man.
Poor Rhodey. What happened?
I can't believe it
he was such an idiot for letting that kid get him
I could've taken care of myself
He didn't need to come looking for me.
The k*ller was a child?
Yeah, and an odd one
There was something about him,
something unhinged
But he had some really advanced technology
It's like part of his suit was independent
alive
His sense of design isn't really my cup of tea.
But his results are.
As you know, I've dealt with some
shady people in the past.
But Rhodey was the exact opposite.
He had a code he lived by. All the time
I knew him, he never broke the rules
or left the straight and narrow. I admired him.
He really believed in the dream.
Rhodey was a soldier,... a hero,
but still just a normal guy
I'm nothing but a rich playboy
worlds we lived in were so different,
it's amazing we got along at all
I guess I should let him win some of
the time
He was my best friend
he needs to be avenged
Tony....don't be so hard on yourself
That suit was made of technology
I've never seen before.
Nanotechnology? Biotechnology? No.
It was nowhere near as simple as that.
He had inserted the integral DNA of
living organisms into some kind of liquid metal that
seems to respond to his thoughts
It couldn't be done in a normal research
facility.
Could he somehow be using
mutated cells? No!
He's synthesizing them
in a molecule assembler!
If not, it wouldn't be stable.
Tony. I need you to authorize access.
Stark, vocal authorization.
Nanomachines, nanotechnology.
Here's something on human-mech hybrids.
There's research being done
all over the world,
but no one has announced a practical application
could he be working with a black market supplier
I haven't heard of any successes, either.
But I have to believe my own eyes.
What I saw was a definite breakthrough.
It merged biotechnology and mechatronics.
Customized artificial neurons were
working in conjunction
with the human nervous system.
He was controlling them perfectly.
Advanced Idea Mechanics even back in the
battle days.....
they were pretty disreputable couldn't pass
our security audit
They've been researching
bio-technological hybrid armors
for a long time, in secret.
According to this they're involved with some seriously
shady people
Does your data indicate where their
research facility is located?
The most recent activity is been in....
Karachi, Pakistan! That's where you should look first
Their front company poses as a
warehouse for medical supplies.
But actually, they're involved with chemical
warfare research and the sales of illegal weapons.
I've downloaded map coordinates
go get them
Thanks, Pepper.
You can get back to your vacation now.
Are you going to be okay?
He's just a kid,I'll be fine.
Says the playboy billionaire
who makes things go boom
I do more than that ,wanna come?
Well you make an interesting offer Mr. Stark
Someone in this relationship has to keep
their feet on the ground
I see, after I save the world and this is all over
Well,.. maybe I'll order that island for two
Great
Talk about bad timing
Tony.
Iron Man is not responding.
All signals are being blocked.
Damn it! Teams Blue and Gold, cover all
escape routes! Team Red, move in on my
command. Capture and contain!
- It's S.H.I.E.L.D. What did you do this time?
- Something awful, I imagine.
I suppose it's too late to apologize.
Confirming as target, Antony Edward Stark
Checking profile
Target identified
Mr. Stark, please throw away your weapons
and surrender immediately.
There is no way for you to escape
Give away your weapons immediately
and be taken into custody
Don't make any aggressive moves
We are authorized to use deadly force
Repeat We are authorized to use deadly force
This is your final warning
Surrender immediately
Repeat Surrender immediately
Sorry, Nick.
I don't have time to waste right now.
I'll pay for the damages. I still have things to do.
Fire.
There goes my vacation
Predictable....Didn't Nick programmed you to knock
before you enter a room?
All Mandroids have lost position of Iron Man.
Visual monitors are disabled.
Switching to motion sensors.
Hey, boys, I'd love to keep playing.
But I think it's time I excuse myself.
Sorry, Nick, but I had to do
what I thought was necessary.
I think I need to improve
the AI on the Mandroids.
After facing off with them, I have to say,
they seem a little vulnerable
All Mandroids have been destroyed.
Get me special agents Hawkeye and Black Widow
Right away, sir.
Tell me Miss Potts.
Is your boss free any time in the near future?
I'm afraid he's fully booked
for the foreseeable future at least.
Of course. Being Tony Stark,
he never follows his schedule.
And he blames me
for missing his appointments.
There's something I want to show you. I was
trying to tell your crazy boss about this,
but he appears to be
blocking all communications.
One day he's going to go off
half-cocked, and run into something
unexpected he can't handle.
They herald the coming of the
lightning, and perish as heralds.
- Lo.
- Lo.
- I am a herald of the lightning.
- I am a herald of the lightning.
I feel good today.
It's so beautiful.
With the Technovores,
I will have great power.
With the interface built into this armor
I'll be able to control any machine
So. Are you ready to go?
Yes.....Yes. I will now be able to infect
the satellite and bring it down.
We will grind these oppressors to dust
and I will be the liberator of all mankind
We guarantee it's effectiveness
It's up to you however as to where you
want to use it.
Obviously.
Excellent. We have a deal, my friend.
Tell your associates A.I.M. says hello.
What's wrong?
sh*t! the Punisher! How did he track me?
We're being blown to bits over here!
You need to send reinforcements right away!
What do you mean, 10 minutes?
Nobody's gonna be alive here in 10 minutes!
We need them in 10 seconds!
What the hell do you think you're doing?
Let me handle this, Castle.
Why don't you get the hell out of the way
Iron Man
This is nothing to do with a rich idiot who
dresses like a hot rod
These guys are scum, they don't
deserve to live
Frank listen, I know you have your own methods
But I need him alive, I need answers
I have all the answers I need.
Get out of my way.
Do not make me do something we're both
gonna regret
Fine, go ahead.
I appreciate it. All right.
Let's get this over with before the guy with the
skull gets cranky
I need to know about the person who hired you.
Do you think a man from A.I.M. would give
up the identity of his clients?
Come on, Stark! You of all people
should know what would happen if I were
to do that!
Let me guess, you'd never be able
to do business again.
Smart guy
I figured, but thanks for the information
anyway.
Whiner
So, neo-t*rrorists, w*r-lords,
mercenaries, doomsday extremists
Let's see who you've been dealing with.
Ezekiel?
Why does that .. Wait a minute! I know that name!
but it can't be him It's impossible
I've got a file on him, if it's of any use to you.
- You're sure?
- I've been after that guy for a while
As an ally, you'd let me read that file?
You! you're an ally?
I don't do the team-up thing, if that's what
you're thinking
I guess our job is done. Let's get the hell
out of here.
How can you drink this coffee?
It tastes like crap.
It's m*llitary issue.
Gets the job done ,keeps you alert
Oh really....so it jump your cables in
the right place
Here's the file
Ezekiel Stane... Stane! Wait!
Obadiah Stane's son?
I take it you know the kid's old man
Come to think of it ,weren't you two in
bed together
Obadiah went crazy.
I had no choice at the time.
I had to k*ll him.
Are you telling me he's that Ezekiel Stane?
The kid was supposed to have d*ed
in an airplane accident years ago!
It was in all the papers ,I went to his funeral
His father had a lot of assets
hidden around the world.
Having inherited all that,
I'm sure a rich kid like that
would know how to put it to good use.
Nowadays, a little cash
can make the impossible possible.
Believe me I know that better than most
Looks to me like he's been burying his trail
for a long time
And now he shows up in the form of
a sociopathic super-genius.
There are rumors he injected his brain
with nanobots to make himself smarter..
than he already was.
my research says that he's involved in
a wide range of shady dealings.
From synthetic dr*gs to nanotechnology.
One of his interests is techno-organic armor.
I could've guessed that
He won't be an easy opponent to handle.
I've been after him for six months
and I haven't been able to pin him down.
- Let me try something.
- What are you looking for?
I'm hacking directly into the
S.H.I.E.L.D. network. I figure if
I cross-reference your file
with the data in the network
I might be able to find out where he is.
Right maybe you will lead Fury right to us
Thirty miles to Karachi.
Agent Romanov,and agent Barton listen up
It's been confirmed that our target Tony Stark
has joined forces with Frank Castle,
The vigilante known as "The Punisher"
That guy?....Oh boy
I don't think I brought along enough
arrows for this.
I want to get out of this country as
quickly as possible.
If it's discovered that we're violating the
airspace of a sovereign nation,
it'll cause an international incident.
You have 40 minutes to complete
the mission and get back to the Helicarrier.
Shanghai?
It doesn't add up, What would he know
about a place like that?
We had a weapons research center there,
until I decided to close it down
a few years ago.
And someone bought the property
and built a luxury hotel on site
with a penthouse suite for wealthy VIPs.
The hotel's privacy
is as tight as a Swiss bank.
The land itself was purchased by non other
than Obadiah Stane.
It must be nice to have money ,right Stark?
Well it certainly doesn't hurt, thanks Frank.
Next time I see you, I'll bring the best
therapist money can buy
Looks like your friends are here
Of course they are, I knew they'd come, sooner or later.
If you wanna make a run for it
They'll be after me
Good luck
Hey... Wait!
There is an object approaching from behind.
Is it a rocket?
Negative.
Man I'm good
Hawkeye and his freakin' trick arrows
Analyzing system
So glad I installed a protective force field.
Give up, Stark, and come with us
to see the Director.
You really think he's going to
come along willingly?
System error. Initiating forced shutdown.
Hold on, wait a minute!
Stop fighting.
There's no way you can win this.
You might as well accept it. We're gonna take you
in whether you like it or not.
You need to know in the Helicarrier's
medical bay is...
Look out
You're not too good at this, are you?
-Widow, he's getting away!
-no sh*t
Tell me something.
Are you trying to be as obvious as you can?
What's the matter hero?
I thought you liked the attention.
Not when I look like five miles of bad road!
Well then, you better hang on
What are you, crazy?
It's over, Stark!
If you join forces with a captain crazy
go nuts..
no-one's gonna take you seriously
as a hero, know what I mean
Arrows! ...really
Don't do it, Frank!
They're just following orders!
Don't worry ,I'm not trying to k*ll them!
They don't need their knee-caps to breath
Damn
- You've got it?
- Yeah I've got this
The ride is over pal
All right, guys!
You know where this next one is going,
so you'd better come out!
We hear you. But before we do,
here's a little gift!
Bastard!
Drop the piece Black Widow or Robin Hood here
gets two in the back of the head
I won't ask again
Atta girl.
You, too sweet heart
Fine...psycho
Don't think you're getting away with this though.
Bunch of bleeding-heart S.H.I.E.L.D.
weaklings! Tell Nick I said he's gone soft
Whose soft now
Unless you wanna tunnel boarding
your head, I'd throw your g*ns away!
Go a head if you have the stones, pretty boy
I guess I was able to buy enough time.
Power reserves now are at 40%.
About time, redirect force field
reserves to thrusters.
As you wish
Where you're going
Oh...Man
Give it up, he's out of range
I really hate that guy
Power reserves fully recovered.
All systems are now optimal.
I've wasted too much time.
Here he goes
Fury is not gonna be happy
At least we caught the Punisher...Right
Next time Stark asks for help....
I'm gonna put a b*llet in him
I hear a soft breeze.
And that wind gathers another soft wind.
I must tread carefully now so as not to
disturb the balance
I can sense our destiny
We come together with that wind
Listen carefully Sasha
Can you hear it?
J.A.R.V.I.S., have you got anything?
Readings are unclear, massive interference.
However ,there is a slight disturbance.
Possible living organism.
Thanks for narrowing it down
Hey boy! I came to see you.
Why don't you turn the lights on for me?
Once when I was young, I did something bad
I hid in a dark room for so long,
I couldn't find my way out
After a while, my mom, came to look for me.
She was worried sick.
- Did your parents do the same for you?
- I've never needed to hide
The air has shifted five meters behind you.
And the room temperature changed slightly.
Where did you get your tech from?
I ask because it's pretty advanced
Especially for someone your age
You know it's not too late to fix this,Turn yourself in
to S.H.I.E.L.D. and I promise I'll help you
No more hiding in the dark
I don't hide from anyone.
You're simply weren't looking in the right place.
Really? This is starting to feel more
and more like a kid's game to me.
I told you already,
I've never needed to hide
And my father that you speak of,
I suspect you know who he is.
You might as well say his name.
- Obadiah!
- That is correct.
Yeah...Ok, that is more than just a little creepy
- You want revenge?
- Revenge? Why would I want that?
Because I k*lled him. You know that.
Oh...Wait, that's right. You were involved,
weren't you? I remember now.
Had you forgotten that?
It wasn't as important an event in my
life as you might imagine.
We weren't really all that close.
Then why are you targeting me?
-You really think a lot of yourself, don't you?
- What?
I wasn't targeting you specifically.
you just happened to be standing in my way.
I don't understand. What are you saying?
You k*lled my best friend
Worst than that you don't think you did
anything wrong, do you?
Rapid power decrease.
System error detected.
What's going on?
Synthetic alloys and unknown biological
entities have invaded the system.
Technovores.
Power source and all sensors
have been compromised.
Technovores?
This armor is pretty well made.
Who do you think made it?
Who would've thought.
For someone like you, it's good.
I realize you can't move.
But believe me, Sasha will still be impressed.
Sasha?
I know I'm different from the rest of you
Don't you have anything to say?
Like how you think Tony Stark is a genius?
It's very well made, for you people, that is.
What does that mean "you people"?
Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit,
and as a result, they were expelled from
the Garden of Eden.
Eve was born.
The ancestor of humankind.
Very impressive. Did you study
the history of mankind in college?
Now there are over seven billion
people on Earth.
What does that have to do with anything?
You asked what I meant when I said "you
people." That's what I was referring to.
You talk as though you're not
a part of the human race.
That's exactly how I feel.
I know I'm different from the rest of you.
- Then what are you?
- It's somewhat hard to describe, really.
But if I were forced to explain it in words,
I guess I would be the wind.
Well ,you certainly are blowing crazy all
over the place
You're hurting Sasha's feelings
Who is this "Sasha" you keep referring to?
A gentle breeze that caresses your skin.
And ruffles up the grass and trees.
I still have no idea what you're talking about.
But I'm beginning to understand one thing....
Obadiah didn't spend near enough on your
therapist
You represent the dinosaurs of the past.
I, however, represent the future.
Hey, didn't know a guy from the foredays?
You should consider retirement.
That sounds pretty good to me.
I could relax in a nice, quiet place.
In fact, I actually tried that once.
My personal assistant just won't let me.
Always half the cup with you
You're time is over, you understand the
situation, don't you?
New wind, new future.
A brand new world is created
to go with the brand new future.
A completely new technology will be created.
The old will die out, and the
new will be born.
That is the providence of nature.
A superior technology to that of man.
Howard will be the firey arrow that
announces the new reality.
You should be honored.
The wind that follows is going to blow
away your most advanced technology.
Howard will be the sh*t that leads the way.
Well.., Obadiah was lucky he didn't hang
around long enough to see this.
The birth of mankind. Refinement of steel....
Computers, biotechnology.
The things you call old technology
have all been linked and accumulated
to create your "Technovore."
It's not new at all.
The truth is, it's only
been born and exists because of the past.
You think you represent
a brand new form of existence?
You're mistaken, kid.
You're no more advanced than the rest of us.
You were born from human parents.
So?
You're just a petulant child throwing
temper tantrums,
And just like a child, if you've been bad, it's an
adult's responsibility to teach you the error of your ways.
And you would do that?
I don't think so. Thank you for the offer
Systems have been partially restored.
Where? Search for the area that's functional!
The missiles!
Locked on target ,Sir.
Foolish man.
Do you know what will be written
on the brass plate
For your exhibit in the museum?
"Here lies a fragment of Iron Man."
But only if someone is able to identify
those fragments after I blow you up.
I don't want to put the curators of
the museum to that much trouble!
Yes...well, it's time for goodbye Tony Stark
There's still quite a bit of work to do.
What's wrong, kid?
Invading Technovore now being removed.
Restarting system, restoring circuits.
Energy charge in three, two, one, complete.
What's the matter?
You look like you're in trouble.
I don't believe I am.
The future is full of uncertain elements.
It's okay to ask for help from your betters
Send energy to the reactor,
Deploy force field
Hey, where did you go, boy?
I thought you didn't hide
What , is that all you've got?
You can't break me...
And you're unable to change the future
because that timeline's already written.
It's a good thing your father's not here
to witness this all play out.
-That's enough, Stark!
-Great
It took long enough
but we finally caught up with you!
You're coming in with us to see the Director
or I'm gonna add an extra hole into your head!
All right, Hawkeye. You made your point.
I'll go, but only if she takes me in.
You only got 98 on your test?
Without a perfect score,
you're the same as any other student
Go to your room and
reflect on your shortcomings until dinner.
I thought you were much better than this!
I'm disappointed!
Did you listen to me?
I told you to never touch my armor!
You little fool! This equipment is
worth 10 times as much as you!
My God! I can't believe what I'm seeing!
Rhodey survived that att*ck?
Has he woken up at all?
He's being kept alive by the life-support
system but so far we haven't ...
Hey, Rhodey! Rhodey, can you hear me?
If you don't wake up
you're gonna die a loser!
You can't die without b*ating me in a race
at least once!
- That will be embarrassing!
- Tony...
Wait a minute! How 'bout this?
If you wake up I'll concede the next race to you!
but it's a one time offer
I'll introduce you to a beautiful woman, too!
You just tell me which model on which page
of that magazine you were looking at, anyone at all
Except the girl on page 10, and 12 and 13
Oh and 18 to 22
But other than that, anyone you want!
All stations! unknown program
is hacking into our system!
- Shutting down comms!
- Starting antivirus program!
Initiating defense protocols!
How are the main servers?
We can't stop it.
Someone breached our security
and is invading our systems.
Technovores.
- Ezekiel's Technovores are the invaders.
- What?
I'm sure the servers have been
taken over by now. It's too late.
He's gone! So where did he go?
The Howard is under att*ck!
What's happening?
Initiate Guardian program!
It won't start!
The firewall is about to be breached!
If we don't do something immediately,
all the systems in Howard will be taken over!
I'm right here. Look around for me.
My, my. You're not very observant.
I'm right beside you.
-Above us!
-I see it
-Tasha ,Are you okay?
-Yeah
I think you've got him
Ok , Here is the problem Howard has the power to
access every computer in the world.
Including m*llitary satellites.
Exactly. He's planning to make Howard...
the source to hack into the world's
m*llitary satellites and control them.
Ezekiel called it The Wind.
The wind?
He's planning to wipe out
every living thing on this planet!
- What happened to the server room?
- I haven't been able to get a response.
Stark! What are you planning to do?
I'm going to fix the computer
so we can use it.
If I can divert the power of the arc reactor
and aim it at the Technovores,
I can annihilate them.
I'm pretty sure I can survive for five minutes
without this old heart of mine.
After that,...
I'm gonna need a jump start
Look we're both in the dark here
So what do you wanna do?
I guess we should return to the bridge.
Ezekiel is definitely coming after us.
Warning! Sir
Power reserves decreasing rapidly!
Ezekiel!
He's here!
Hi there, "Old Man" Tony!
Stop this, now!
Where are Hawkeye and Black Widow?
- They're tucked away safe and sound.
- What?
- Don't worry about them.
- Connect it.
Good, Maria. Now re-boot the Howard.
-Rebooting Howard, sir! The Guardian program has also been initiated!
-You people are determined to get in my way aren't you?
Ezekiel......Come here. Sit down.
You and I are gonna have a talk! Right now!
No matter what you think about your father
I can tell you Obadiah loved you very much.
It was a pretty straight forward relationship.
He was human and you were his son!
Was that all?
Isn't that enough? You'll achieve nothing
if you throw away your past.
I have personal experience. I was only able
to move forward by accepting my father.
And you'll only create a new world
by accepting the past and building on it.
A relic like you is lecturing me
about the future? How amusing...
Why should I listen to someone irrelevant?
It's the Technovores!
Why... Why you betrayed me?
Together, we could have defeated them.
I can't see anything, feel anything.
- Sorry, Ezekiel.
- The wind...
... has stopped.
I've lost all instruments!
I have no control over the helicarrier!
It's losing altitude!
sh**t it!
Come over here! This way, you bastard!
Any time, Hill
Reactor detected.
Power reserve at 15 percent.
I have that much?
That's it, pal. Playtime is over!
Propulsive force still inoperable!
Too many engines are offline!
Where are we going down?
Shanghai, China!
Contact the Chinese government!
Have them evacuate everyone!
Tony, be careful up there
Power dropping rapidly Sir!
Now entering red zone!
I'm afraid it is an emergency
Thanks J.A.R.V.I.S. I can always count on you
to state the obvious
Brace for impact
System error Sir! you're in imminent danger!
This is probably gonna hurt a lot
w*r Machine, is that you?
Sorry I guess I must've overslept!
I guess I'll really have to hook you up with
those women when this is all over
- Rhodey...
- How did he...
Oh ..Thank goodness
Wait, Rhodey!
What the hell...
Tony ,What is that?
Beats the hell out of me, probably
someone doesn't wanna be friends
Whatever it is, we need to put
an end to it, right now!
Let's go!
Technovore has been liberated
The lower casts of society will surely see our glory
now that the veil has been lifted
Technovore open the road for our infinite multitudes
The world will be purified by Technovore
Technovore has been liberated
The lower casts of society will surely see our glory
now that the veil has beeen lifted
Technovore open the road for our infinite multitudes
The world will be purified by Technovore
Technovore has been liberated
-The lower casts of society will surely see our glory....
-Ezekiel
Power reserves at seven percent, Sir
Well into the red zone! I'm afraid you must
re-charge immediately!
What the hell is that thing saying?
Rhodey!
Do you understand what's going on?
We have to conserve our energy resources!
But we can't just let him destroy everything!
Stop wasting b*ll*ts!
What are you talking about?
What are we supposed to do then?
I don't know what we can do!
I'm trying to think of something!
The world will be purified by Technovore
We've lost control of the Howard!
The time for ignorance has past
-We will move toward the time..
-He's replicated it
He's using the Howard to control
all the other m*llitary satellites in orbit!
I'm confused! What's this all about?
Is he going to att*ck?
Come on Tony ,it's now or never
you can do this
You just have to pull it together, you can take
this kid down and end this nightmare
All of the m*llitary satellites have been
repositioned! He's preparing to att*ck!
Our venture is on its way it will
make a breakthrough we must stand....
He's completely insane.
He's going to destroy the world.
Tony, you are gonna be able to clone us right?
- What?
- You know after this thing kills us
Believe or not, that's not the strangest thing
I've heard today
I was hoping may be Pepper could use one
of your due hickies
Mmm...whatever is left of us
Wait a minute. Pepper!
Wills...
Leaving something behind...
Of course!
- Pepper! Pepp, can you hear me?
- Yes, I'm here.
You think you can help your old boss
out one last time?
Anything but dictation.
You're an amazing assistant Pepper,
you really are
But you know me ,it's a little more complicated
than that
I'm not surprised.
You can't do anything without my input.
I want to give you a present before l die.
What's the one thing you've never had
since I've known you?
What do you truly want,
more than anything else?
What do I want more than anything else?
That's easy. What I want is a vacation!
Voice print identified ,Virginia Potts
Vacation. Vacation. Vacation.
Vacation. Vacation.
We're starting to regain control
of the satellite
I left a back door when I wrote the Howard software
What back door? What...
I hid it in the initial design
I'm an arrogant bastard sometimes ,but I learned
long ago not to be stupid
I programmed a way into the satellite to
protect it from unauthorized users.
When did you set up my voice
as the password?
What can I say ,you talk in your sleep
- I don't remember that.
- It's pretty cute
But I was able to uplink my armor
to the Howard at the time.
You've earned that vacation twice over.
I'll need that in writing, Mr. Stark
The particle-beam cannon on the Chinese
m*llitary satellite is about to fire
I'm only able to control one satellite
and l won't have control for long!
I want to show this guy something
I have that he doesn't!
Are you out of your mind?
What are you gonna do?
This is gonna be our last chance,
so listen up!
Spread this message..Repeat
The Technovores are trying to take over
the Howard by hacking in!
How much time do we have?
Less than a minute
I'm counting on you Rhodey. Okay?
All right, J.A.R.V.I.S., pull the trigger!
As you wish Sir
Don't do this
Here we go!
Hope your little nap didn't affect your aim!
Aim.....At what?
Salvation is on its way ,it will make a
breakthrough. We must stand together
Ok Tony, it's all set
Rhodey! This is it!
You've only got one chance!
I need you to sh**t me.
Aim for my arc reactor!
Come on Colonel
- Careful...
- Laser array ready to launch!
Rhodey, we have no time! You have to sh**t!
Do it now!
It's our last chance before the world ends.
sh**t!
Lasers, armed and ready!
Rhodey! sh**t damn it
Tony ,please don't make me do this
Just sh**t already,
Everything should work now!
Fire
We must pursue progress in a sure, fast and liberal manner
It can be the darkness before the dawn
Tony!
Yeah, the last thing I can remember is
watching the bombs go off.
I still have no idea what that psycho was talking
about half the time
But at least the technovores repaired you
before trying to take over your system
They saved your life.
Lucky for me
Now you have to recover!
Which I'm sure will be pool-side in some
swanky European villa
That would be fine if he still had a
swanky european villa
It did get a little blown up while I was on
the run from Fury
No more Avengering for you ,until I
get a new one
Sounds pretty good to me
Ok..do I need to get the crowbar to get
this thing off of you
Or are you hero basking
Come on Miss Potts, you really not
going to let me enjoy this
Especially since I just saved the world
If I remember correctly you promised
me a vacation, Mr. Stark.
Where do you wanna go?
- Skiing in Asgard ,Safari in the Savage Land
- What?
Let's take a vacation.
Just the two of us. How 'bout it?
Is that an order, boss?
No. It's more like a suggestion.
Well then, I suggest you and I pack up.
He's finally stabilized last night.
There's been no brain activity, he's remained unresponsive
to our stimuli.
"I've come to early" he said
My time is not yet
This tremendous event is still on
its way..
.. still wandering.
It has not yet reached the ears of men.
Deeds, though done,
still require time to be seen and heard.
This deed is still more distant from them
than the most distant of stars.
Still, they were able to do the deed.
According to the people, this insane man
forced his way into various churches
that day...singing,
The wind.
