Tony Stark has recently experienced one of the biggest ups and downs of his life.

At least it started a while ago. But to get to the bottom of this, it's best to start five years ago.

Although there was a period of absurdity, Stark was once called the most famous playboy in the United States, and since he established a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship with his current girlfriend Stephanie Malik, he has not lived as disorderly as he once did, but in fact, he does not have much love for Stephanie. Perhaps, but certainly not to the extent that Stark was enlightened and determined to change his ways.

Stark also admitted that Stephanie is actually quite good, although the height difference is a little, but the figure is still bumpy and bumpy, and her appearance is more beautiful than most of the cover girls in Maxim magazine. If it's just a friendship cannon, Stark doesn't mind having a few more rounds or even dozens of rounds with her. But boyfriend and girlfriend...... Stark wasn't sure if he was ready for a stable relationship. So although he had known Stephanie for many years, had met at many parties, and had expressed his affection for her several times, Stark had admitted that she was a smart and lively girl, but he still only regarded her as an acquaintance, barely an acquaintance—an acquaintance of the opposite sex who had a good conversation.

Until five years ago, Stark, who had already graduated from MIT with a Ph.D., had not returned to Stark Industries to take charge of the overall situation, but had nothing to do with the shares left by his father, but suddenly heard the news that Stark Industries was facing an acquisition. This came as a surprise to Stark, who had always thought that the company he founded was working well under his father's partner, Acting Chairman Obadestin. At that time, Stark found out that it was a consortium led by Lex Luthor, chairman of Lex Industries, who had been secretly preparing to acquire Stark Industries, and before this acquisition plan was discovered, Obadai suffered from a bizarre and repeated strange illness, was hospitalized, and had been in a coma, and the management of Stark Industries was in chaos, so that the consortium on Luther's side was able to take advantage of the situation.

To be honest, Stark himself has a bit of mixed feelings about Stark Industries. He didn't have a good relationship with his father, so Stark didn't know what to do with the big company that his father had founded and developed. This is also the reason why he did not return to the company for several years after graduating from his doctorate to take over as the CEO who was supposed to be him. But now Obadai seems to have been killed, and he can't bear it. So, he temporarily decided to return to Stark Industries, sit in the position of CEO, and find out the truth of the matter.

However, if you want to repel the menacing M&A consortium, even Stark's IQ is extremely high. At this time, Pepper Potts, the life assistant who had been with him, persuaded him to make a decision that he had thought of for a long time but resisted so much, but had to make - ask Stephanie for help.

At the time, Stephanie had just taken over from her father as executive chairman of the Malik family business. She has a number of high-quality assets in various industries, and with her support, Stark Industries can lead Stark Industries through this disaster and repel the merger consortium. But although Stephanie has those assets, she can't be willful because of her unilateral feelings. Stark knows that too. Under the pressure of Lex Luthor's merger consortium, Stark went against his heart and proposed a 'marriage' to Stephanie, but Stephanie agreed even though he knew that his approach was not glamorous and there was no real guarantee.

I won't go into details about what happened next. In short, with the support of the Malik family, Stark successfully repelled the merger consortium led by Lex Luthor, secured the position of CEO of Stark Industries, and found out the truth about Obadi's strange disease - Obadai was not poisoned or anything, but he ate undercooked seafood and was infected with a new marine virus!

The truth is revealed, and the matter seems to be over. Stark used his strengths as a mechanic to design several new weapons in a row, making Stark Industries, one of its main businesses selling weapons, prosperous. And Obadiah returned to Stark Industries after recovering from his illness, and he didn't say that he wanted to get his job back or anything, but consciously retreated into the background and completely handed over his network resources to Stark. Stark didn't say yes, though. He preferred to design all kinds of machinery rather than manage the company's business, so Obadai returned. The two had a clear division of labor, and Stark Industries developed rapidly again.

And this rapid development process lasted for five years, until a while ago there were signs of slowing down, because Stark decided to give himself a big vacation. However, in the past five years, Stark Industries not only secured the position of the world's No. 1 arms dealer, but also increased its market value several times!

Then, a few days later, Stark received an invitation from Thomas Wayne, the richest man in Gotham City and the chairman of Wayne Enterprises, to attend a charity party hosted by the latter's voluntary organization for brain injuries in his son's name. Stark agreed. He plans to use Gotham as the first stop on his next long vacation, travel across the East Coast, and then go to Europe to relax. But before that, he received a call from Stephanie, who had been dating for almost five years. It turned out that she had also received an invitation from Thomas Wayne. So, Stark and Stephanie Malik set off together and flew to Gotham on a private jet.

Everyone knows a little about what happened next, Stark and Stephanie are late, and they meet Rhaegar, who is still Regamalick at the time, and the two of them talk a little before entering the party. Unexpectedly, there was a mutant attack at the party site, and Thomas Wayne was the target of the attack, Stark and Stephanie, along with the other guests, temporarily retreated to the other side of the party scene under the protection of the arriving Hydra agents, avoiding a head-on confrontation with the mutant forces. Then, unbeknownst to what happened, one of the mutants, the Sabertooth Tiger, ignored the other mutant companions' attempts to break through the protective line of the Hydra agent with his super self-healing ability, and rushed into the midst of the guests to prepare to kill him, forcing the other mutants to attack him as well. Knowing that he couldn't please him, the Sabertooth Tiger grabbed Stark from among the guests and left the place hostage.

Stark is smuggled by the Saber-toothed Tiger onto a cargo ship leaving Gotham and ends up in Mexico, an illegal car rebuilding site with an unknown location.

At first, Stark thought he was just unlucky, and was taken hostage by the Sabertooth Tiger among the guests. In fact, that's what most people think, especially when Stark sneers at the party, which obviously provokes retaliation from the saber-toothed tiger, who thinks of him first when deciding to take the hostages. However, when he overheard the phone call of the saber-toothed tiger, he realized that someone had bought and killed him. And the reason why the saber-toothed tiger didn't move at him on the road was because the saber-toothed tiger recognized him and knew that Stark's identity could give him more, so he was ready to start negotiations again. The object of negotiation is not only with the guy who bought the murder, but also with Stark himself.

The new goal of the saber-toothed tiger is simple, not money, nor to escape immunity from the punishment of Hydra and political axes. He wants the two negotiators to find him enough vibranium to make him stronger and more indestructible than Wolverine, who has Edelman alloy as the skeleton in his body!
