The Marvel Cinematic Universe comes to life with billionaire–playboy–philanthropist Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr), a character created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1959 and loosely based on American aeronautical entrepreneur Howard Hughes (1905–76). Captured by insurgents in the deserts of Afghanistan, arms manufacturer Stark uses his ingenuity to forge a crude precursor to his high-tech Iron Man armour. Returning home after his escape, he finds business partner Obadiah Stane (Jeff Bridges) attempting to harness the suit's technology for pain and profit, and a newly ethical Stark must bring him down. Complicated legacies, escalating aggression and balancing humanity with extraordinary powers are established as themes for the whole Universe.
