10 best Iron Man storylines in the comics
By Jason Hall
6. The Armor Wars – Iron Man 225-232
This one is the granddaddy of all the action-heavy Iron Man stories. The Armor Wars was the first of what would become a standard Iron Man tale. The villain known as the Spymaster steals a cutting edge piece of Iron Man technology from Stark Industries and sells it to every supervillain with the cash to buy it. What happens next is an all-out war as Tony is forced to create a new armor powerful enough to take down all the suits of armor that have built based on all his stolen tech.
He then goes head-to-head with a slew of Marvel villains as he hunts down everyone who has dared to use his armor in the name of villainy. It is armor versus armor and Iron Man is on his heels for this one. This story also forces Tony Stark to reconsider all of the tech that he loaned out to allies and whether or not they can keep it safe. This brings him into conflict with Captain America and even winds up getting him kicked off of the Avengers temporarily. The Armor Wars storyline is one of the most quintessential Iron Man stories since his creation.
