From the Pages of Comics
Officially, the armor made its first appearance in Iron Man #304 (May 1994). It was created by Tony Stark to face off against the Hulk, who was angered at the production of Gamma bombs by Stane International, a company formed by Obidiah Stane. Later, both Hulk and Tony were able to settle their differences, and together, they dismantled Stane International’s plant.
