Iron Man: Armored Adventures Vo.1
Sixteen year old genius Anthony 'Tony'
Stark is locked in a ongoing but loving invention battle with his
brilliant father and Stark Enterprise founder Howard Stark.
Unfortunately during a visit to a archaeological site, Tony & Howards
plane crashes, killing Howard, and leaving his son Tony with a heart
injury requiring him to have a rechargeable magnetic plate inserted into
his heart. As his fathers last wish, Tony is sent to live with his best
friend James, and go to High School with him to help Tony normalise to
the everyday. With Tony still being two years of turning eighteen and
Howard having passed on, Stark Enterprise is taken over by Obadiah Stane,
a money hungry executive hell bent on using Starks inventions to create
weapons for the highest bidder. Even after confronting Obadiah to get
copies of his father's work so that he can continue it, Tony is refused,
leaving him with just his last created invention, a 'Stark Exo-Suit'.
Tony is soon met however by a fellow school member Pepper Potts, the
daughter of a FBI agent investigating the alleged accident of Howards
death. After Pepper suggests that the plane crash was no accident and
possibly incident by Obadiah, Tony starts to pull the pieces together
and begins to rebuild what happened to his father and how to get Stark
enterprises back.
The original Iron Man series had some pretty unashamed adult themes
which obviously wouldn't transfer too well to a children's animation. In
watering down those elements and showing a younger Tony Stark, Marvel
have created a new fresh look at the Iron Man story. Each episode runs
well and comes off the same way as reading a Iron Man comic book. There
are a few disappointments, such as the misuse of evil villain Mandarin
and supporter Pepper Potts. The animation, based in 3D CGI drawings adds
a exciting edge and has been done with such a quality as not to look
cheap and thrown together, as so many 3D CGI animations can. Overall its
a great and exciting fresh take on Iron Man that kids and parents will
enjoy.
