The transformation of Tony Stark from a self-absorbed, billionaire weapons manufacturer to the superhero Iron Man begins with a stark awakening. After being captured by terrorists and grievously wounded by one of his own company's missiles, he is forced to build a weapon but instead secretly constructs a miniature Arc Reactor to keep shrapnel from reaching his heart and powers a crude, mechanized suit of armor (the Mark I) to escape. This experience makes him realize the devastating consequences of his arms trade, prompting him to shut down Stark Industries' weapons division and dedicate his genius to building advanced suits to protect the world. By choosing to use his technology for good, Tony embraces the responsibility of a hero, culminating in his famous, unscripted public announcement: "I am Iron Man."
