While in Vietnam to see his weapons designs tested out first-hand,
millionaire inventor Tony Stark was struck in the chest with a
piece of shrapnel. In order to keep himself alive, Star makes an
armored suit, part of which acted as an external pacemaker to
keep his damaged heart alive. But the benefits were much more
than medical: as Iron Man, Stark possessed the powers of flight,
super strength, and an array of weaponry. After the war, Stark
used his wealth and technology to make numerous modifications
to the suit, the better to help him fight criminals like the Mandarin.
