Marvel's next big blockbuster, Iron Man, is to hit the cinemas in May 2008, this classic collection includes the origins of Iron Man's superheroic career by the world's most famous comic creative team of Stan Lee, Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko. Iron Man is a super hero with a difference: he is without any natural super powers. Billionaire industrialist Tony Stark relies instead on his ultra high-tec armour to confront dangers to humanity.

Millionaire industrialist Tony Stark is an inventive genius who has dedicated all of his enormous financial and intellectual resources to a single guiding principle: the creation of technology for the betterment of humanity. Stark's greatest creation is a modern-day miracle: a suit of form-fitting, strength-enhancing, steel-mesh armor he dons to become the living symbol of his ideals, the Invincible Iron Man! But when Stark discovers that the same technology he used to create the Iron Man armor - technology so secret he didn't even dare patent it - is now in the hands of several deadly super-villains, he feels responsible for the evil they have done with the high-tech tools he unwittingly provided. In the face of objections from his government, friends, colleagues and fellow super heroes, Stark swears to use the power of Iron Man to bring the evil to an end - and to take back what's his. The Beatle, Stilt Man, the Controller, Stingray, the Mandroids, the Guardsmen and Firepower don't know it yet, but they've got a problem. The world's most powerful force for good isn't playing by the rules anymore. And he's coming for them. Collects Iron Man (1968) #225-232.
