*Iron Man has always been a troubled Super Hero, and these difficulties began at the very onset of the metal-clad avenger's career. After an explosion left a piece of shrapnel dangerously close to his heart, industrialist/inventor Tony Stark was captured in North Vietnam by warlord Wong-Chu, who offered Stark a choice: develop a weapon for the Communists or die. Stark responded by curing himself with a special bodysuit (the Iron Man prototype) he developed, with a fellow scientist prisoner. *Source:Card back
