== Premise ==
Following the Malibu Incident, Tony Stark attempts to rebuild a new era of StarkTech while confronting political pressure, corporate sabotage, and mysterious armored adversaries. As he navigates personal responsibility and public scrutiny, Tony encounters emerging metahuman activity tied to Midvale City, ultimately forming alliances with Miles Porter, Kendra Vale, and Silverman as he becomes a central figure in the growing Warriorverse crisis.
Following a catastrophic weapons demonstration that nearly kills him, Tony Stark returns home determined to reinvent both himself and Stark Industries. As he secretly constructs advanced armor to stop technological threats that his company once helped create, Tony faces mounting pressure from the U.S. government, a rising paramilitary competitor led by Justin Hammer, and a mysterious assassin targeting Stark executives.
 
While juggling his new double life as Iron Man, Tony must navigate corporate sabotage, espionage, and his own worsening health crisis caused by the arc reactor in his chest.
