Season 1
A new Anime series about the Marvel Comics superhero Iron Man. Billionaire CEO and Weapons Engineering genius Tony Stark comes to Japan to build a pollution-and-fuel-free reactor based on his arc reactor technology. He chose Japan because of the presence of "Lab 23"– led by Dr. Chika Tanaka with whom Stark gets involved romantically – the world's sole owner of the necessary technology. While holding a press conference, the media and Defense Minister Kuroda become suspicious of his motives. Stark announces his retirement as Iron Man and the introduction of a mass-production model of Iron Man to be piloted by others. Just as Stark conducts a test flight of the new Iron Man suit, a mysterious robotic weapon appears and attacks Stark. This is only the beginning of a series of devastating attacks by a high-tech terrorist organization calling itself "Zodiac." Stark must confront Zodiac amidst media bashing and political pressure from Kuroda.
