Fire! Fire!

On the day Iron Man was born...

I lost my friend.

I was a very different man before that day.

Admiral, I'm sure I don't have to explain to you the importance

of securing control of the air and sea in any conflict zone.

With this, you get both.

Toss in the element of surprise, and gentlemen,

you've got yourself one a big ol' can of shock & awe.

Words don't defeat the enemy, Mr. Stark.

You're right, enough talk.

I give you Stark Industries'

next generation fighter jet: The Screamer!

Bravo, Mr. Stark! Well done!

I was at the top of my game then. I was untouchable.

Pepper, we hooked a big one.

Never doubted it for a second. Congratulations. This is a big one.

Thanks, Pep. Listen, I'm gonna be tied down here closing the deal.

I need you to hold down the fort for me.

I had a lot to learn. And I was about to learn it the hard way.

This man... He's Tony Stark!

Dead?

No. He's alive.

Good. Bring him back to camp.

Okay, I get it. How much?

You guys're gonna ransom me, right?

So what's the bounty, how much am I worth to you?

I have some bad news and good news, Mr. Stark.

You need medical help or you will die from your wounds.

That's the bad news.

Yeah, I kinda figured that.

But I don't want your money, that's the good news.

Then what is it you want from me?

I want weapons. Biological weapons, chemical, everything.

Isn't that what you do, build weapons that kill?

Build them for me and I will save your life.

I guess, I don't have much choice in the matter, do I?

Good, we have a deal, then. Yinsen!

See to his wounds.

Death merchant.

It would be far better to let you die.

Hey, wait!

Wait!

Has it really been five years?

After a crash like that, Mr. Kawashima.

It's actually sort of a miracle that you're even alive.

Yeah, too bad, huh?

I know, I'd make better story if I was dead.

No, a dead guy doesn't make for a very good interview.

Well, I'll be fine and back on the track before you know it.

Don't forget, when you make your comeback, I get an exclusive.

Sure thing. You'll be the first.

Okay, you heard him. Right, Ichiro?

Huh?

Would you keep your hands off his fruit?!

I'm sorry. I missed lunch!

That's a beautiful dress, Doctor.

You look truly stunning.

Of course, I'm not saying you wouldn't look

stunning without the dress.

Do you mind if I ask you a question, Mr. Stark?

Anything.

Why this? Why race cars?

Oh. Well, you know, thrills, speed.

That's what make us boys tick.

And we're raising a lot of money for charity to boot.

Which of course helps to improve the corporate image of Stark Industries.

Ouch. You can be so cynical.

But, yeah since you mention it,

I wouldn't mind changing the general perception

that my company manufactures death.

You want to win the hearts and minds of the Japanese public?

Let's just say, I want to show them there's

a human side to Stark Industries.

And if sponsoring events like this helps to do that, fine.

And, of course, I do like fast cars.

Transforming your company from

a weapons manufacturer to an advocate for world peace.

That's quite a turnaround, what made you do it?

Are we playing a game of Twenty Questions, Doctor?

So in other words, you won't answer.

Five years ago, I was held prisoner by a group of terrorists.

And I met a man, who changed my life forever.

What the hell do they expect me to build out of this old crap?

They must be out of their minds.

So then, you're really going to give these thugs what they want?

“Thugs?” What do you mean? You're not one of them?

I'm their prisoner just as much as you are.

I'm useful, so they let me live.

So, we're in the same boat, pal. That's how I see it.

And if it means staying alive then yes,

I'm gonna give them what they want.

Even knowing that what you give them will help them to commit genocide?

Look! All I want is to stay alive, I'm not interested.

Wake up!

Haven't you ever wondered how many people on this earth

have been killed by you and the weapons you build?!

Okay, so if that's the way you feel, why the hell did you save my life?

I didn't save your life. I only postponed your death.

What's that supposed to mean?

You only have a week or so left to live.

A week?!

That's how long you can expect

the battery in that makeshift pacemaker to last.

Not a lot of time, is it?

But enough for you to regret all you've done.

He was right. Facing death does have a way of bringing clarity.

What I realized was,

basically I'd spent my whole adult life

destroying the lives of others for profit.

So I made a vow to myself

that if I survived, I would devote my life

to undoing the damage I'd done.

I hope, that answers your question.

I know, how it feels... the helplessness...

When your dreams have been taken from you.

Who the hell are you?

Someone who can give you back

the one thing that makes your life worth living.

Runs like a charm.

But then, it should, we sunk enough money into it.

Let's just hope, I have the right man behind the wheel.

I'm surprised, you're not the one out there test-driving.

Nanami. What brings you here?

The interview! That's right, I forgot. Shall we get started?

Well, actually, no offense,

but I'm here to interview the driver, not the owner.

Who would've ever thought he'd make such a comeback?

The doctors said he'd never race again.

You're serious? You can get me back on the track?

Of course, there's something we ask in return.

What is it? Name it! I'll do anything to race again!

Kill Tony Stark.

Mr. Kawashima!

You all right, Stark?

Look who it is. Wolverine.

It's been awhile, huh.

What are you doing in Japan, Logan?

Besides saving your ass? I've got unfinished business.

No way!

All right, what's going on?

You'd spend even your last precious

hours of life building weapons to kill others

You're either a fool or mad.

It's done.

What is it?

I'm going to need your help.

Can you get this car battery out of my chest?

So that's what you've been working on, a new pacemaker.

Exactly. And if it works,

it should keep my heart beating for another hundred and fifty years.

That's a bit overkill, don't you think?

It will power a lot more than my heart.

I want no part of it. If you ask me, you've lived far too long already.

If you help me, I can get us both out of here.

And how do you plan to do that?

By building this armor.

The Arc Reactor I just made will generate enough power to run it.

So, what do you say?

I say that whether you live or die will be decided

by a flip of the coin.

Really?

This coin once deflected a dagger, just enough to save my life.

So you see, this is no ordinary coin.

You know, the first thing I'm gonna do when we get out of here

is grab a shower and a chilled bottle of Dom Perginon.

If those are really your first priorities,

perhaps it's a mistake to be helping you.

The Coin has Spoken. Can't be a mistake.

Destiny, that's what it is!

“Destiny,”?

Do you really think it's Destiny's

way to give a second chance at life to a fool

who so selfishly wasted his first chance?

You don't like me much, do you?

This was a beautiful and peaceful country

until men like you came along and destroyed it.

There aren't any men like me.

Men with wealth, knowledge and a blind hunger for power.

They brought years of civil war to this land.

They destroyed it. They cost me my family.

I'm sorry.

Spare me your pity. Just get back to work!

So Zodiac's been turning people into living weapons?

Yeah. They're making techno-organic zombies.

Who knows what else those scum bags at AIM are up to.

But I'll find out.

So you're tracking them, huh? That's why you're in Japan.

Well, they took something that wasn't theirs.

So, I'd like to pay them a little visit.

I'd rather you leave this Zodiac business to me, Logan.

What's on it?

Intel I've dug up on your friends. Who knows, it could be useful.

Friends in low places, huh?

Nanami, don't take this the wrong way,

normally I like being chased by pretty girls. But I'm kinda busy.

Can we reschedule?

I know, you're looking for Mr. Kawashima.

I want to come along.

I won't get in the way. I promise.

Not on your life. You saw what he did. He's dangerous.

No!

He's right!

Get out of here before you get yourself hurt.

My business is with Mr. Stark.

What's come over you?!

What's this all about?

What's it have to do with your dream of being able to race again?

Everything. The only way that dream comes true is by killing him.

This is crazy.

I got it from here.

Seismic activity detected.

Haha! It ends for you here, Stark!

Okay, time to go!

Okay, I've had enough of this bull!

Die!!!

Don't do this! Zodiac is using you!

Shut your mouth!

Give me a chance - I can do it!

Too late! The machine's taking him over!

He's crushing me!

Logan, watch out!

Oh, crap!

Oh no! Is he?

He'll live, if we can get him to Lab 23.

They're the only ones with the know how to save him.

Dio Iron Man detected.

Dio?

Pilot unknown.

Quick as you can, his life depends on it!

Okay, got it, don't worry!

Dio's headed this way.

You want me to stick around, shell head?

No, this is my problem. And, Logan,

try not to get in any trouble while you're here.

Can't make any promises.

Here we go.

Let's rock 'n' roll.

Who are you?

- Warning: Weapons lock detected. - Uh-oh!

Good. Now divert power from the reactor into the armor. Quickly.

All right. It's started.

No!

What's going on in here? You! Answer me! Where's Yinsen?

Yinsen!

I'm all right.

But any moment now there will be more guards pouring in here!

We need more time.

I'll delay them.

Come back! Yinsen, don't!

Hang on, Yinsen. I'm on my way.

And to think, I was merciful enough to let you live.

My mistake.

That's it, come on!

No!

Yinsen! Hang on, we're getting out of here.

This is as far as I go.

You'll have to finish the journey without me.

Don't talk like that, don't you give up!

I understand now why the armor had to be made.

The world needs you.

Take it, it belongs to you now.

Use all of your wealth and knowledge to finish what we've started.

It is your destiny.

That's my Dio armor and I want it back.

Who the hell are you?

Impossible! Yinsen?

But I saw you die!

No wait!

Yinsen?!
