Iron Man

In a cold white room, shiny metal strangers wink at me, these guys must be aliens or my robots gone mad. I can’t remember how I got here. I really hope the rest of the Avengers won’t forget me inside this creepy alien chamber. Oh wait! I’ve still got my Mark 7 bracelet along with the Avengers-beacon attached to my wrist. Hopefully with a little reception I can get out of here alive.

As the large silver figure watched over me with a scary big weapon, I asked if I could go to the bathroom seeing as the feeling of being surrounded by aliens utterly destroyed my bowels… As I went to the bathroom, I passed through a glass tunnel showing the excitement of a dogfight between Avengers and alien aircraft above the Helicarrier below me. I now remember getting hit by an Alien commando’s Electro-magnetic-pulse grenade which disabled my suit- which incapacitated me. In a quick act: I activated my bracelets and then my restless guard got hit by a flying red container from below, knocking him out and raising the alarm…

I opened the red container, equipping the Mark 7. As the guards approached me, I decimated them with my rockets and lasers. I jumped out and ignited my thrusts as I went to destroy the engines and hangars of the aircraft. After minor conflict with a few aliens, the ship rocketed into the Pacific.

When I landed on the Helicarrier’s airstrip, I greeted the rest of the gang: “Thanks for showing up, I nearly soiled myself in that Stainless Steel Box that has a date with the Titanic!.” Being Iron Man is not the safest, but also not the most boring of all Superhero jobs!
