Fan CastingThe Iron Man

Tony Stark has begun moving his company, Stark Industries, away from arms manufacturing after the end of the Cold War, and has started a new project: the Rescue Redeemer Armor, designed for search and rescue purposes. It's able to retrieve people from emergency situations and even provide a degree of medical care. However, a not inconsiderable part of the company, spearheaded by executive Justin Hammer, wants to use the Redeemer for military applications. When Stark refuses to go along with this, Hammer facilitates an assassination attempt undertaken by the cybernetic minions of a mysterious group called AIM. The attempt leaves a bullet lodged in Stark's heart, forcing him to use the Redeemer to save himself. This leads to Stark investigating AIM and coming into conflict with them.
