Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Iron Man 2 is an Action-Adventure video game published by Sega, meant to tie-in with the 2010 film of the same name starring the eponymous Marvel superhero. The game takes place after the events of the movie, but is not considered canon with the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The story was written by Matt Fraction and features Don Cheadle and Samuel L. Jackson reprising their roles as Lt. Col. James Rhodes and Nick Fury respectively.During an attack at Stark Archives, the Roxxon Energy Corporation steals an archived copy of Tony Stark's A.I. assistant, J.A.R.V.I.S.. Fearing what Roxxon might have in store, Tony and Rhodey contact Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D., who reveals that the attack was orchestrated by Valentin Shalatov, a rogue Russian general working with Advanced Idea Mechanics. With the help of Natasha Romanoff, Tony and Rhodey soon discover that A.I.M. has far more insidious plans thanks the data they stole from Stark, including using some secret tech from Tony's past.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The game is divided into chapters, with the player taking control of either Iron Man or War Machine depending on the mission. The two have slightly different play-styles: Tony being more agile and focusing on energy weapons, whereas Rhodey has bulkier armour and prefers More Dakka. The various suits can be upgraded and customized before each mission by accumulating bonus points to help build new weapon systems. Armor based on Tony's numerous suits from the comics can be unlocked sporadically throughout the game.

In Medias Res: The game starts off with Tony and Rhodey right in the middle of fending off Roxxon's forces at Stark Archives before Tony is knocked out. The game than cuts to three hours ago when Tony was busy recording a video diary before learning about the attack.

Ramming Always Works: Ultimo is able to adapt and control the energy shots fired by the Helicarrier, so simply shooting him won't work. After Rhodey disables Ultimo's arc reactors, Fury is able to finally take him out by ramming the Helicarrier straight into him, destroying him for good.

Create Your Own Villain: Tony learns that DeWitt actually used to work for him at Stark Industries. After Stark shut down his Theoritical Weapons Division, DeWitt continued on his work on Project PROTEAN in private and was fired once the danger of his work came out. This lead to DeWitt ultimately working for A.I.M. and dedicating his life to getting his revenge against Tony.

Protection Mission: There a lot of moments where the player has to protect a character or an object at certain points. The fourth chapter features a section where Tony has to protect Natasha from incoming enemies as she mounts a turret gun. Chapters six and seven both involve protecting the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier from A.I.M.'s forces.

A.I. Is a Crapshoot: DeWitt reprograms the back-up copy of J.A.R.V.I.S.'s to create Ultimo, which soon takes control of his body, turns A.I.M.'s soldiers into PROTEAN Hybrids, and attempts to weaponize Project Greengrid to cause massive storms and typhoons.

A few of them refuse to take the implants, and are seen fighting off DeWitt's drones and hybrids before they have the implants forced on them.

comment
Two Beings, One Body: Kearson DeWitt uses PROTEAN technology to fuse his conciousness with Ultimo's, in the hopes of launching a new stage in human evolution. The process seems to work too well, as Ultimo asserts control and begins taking control over his facility. It's unclear how much of DeWitt managed to survive the process, but Ultimo needs his body to serve as a focal point for his consciousness.

Airborne Aircraft Carrier: The S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier is used as Fury's base of operations throughout the game, predating its canon debut in The Avengers (2012) by two years. It's the main setting for chapters six and seven, and plays a pivotal role in taking out Ultimo during the final boss battle.

comment
Weather-Control Machine: Project Greengrid was an experimental power transmitter created by Stark to harness and transfer the power from the upper atmosphere. While Tony claimed it was primarily created to transfer energy (albeit while part of a weapons contract), it had the side-effect of creating massive storms and typhoons. Tony shut the project down, but Ultimo ends up revitilizing the project and tries to turn it into a weapon of mass destruction.

When a soldier attempts to evacuate the area to avoid implicating A.I.M., Shatalov offers to "help" with that and has a drone execute him.

Big Bad Duumvirate: Kearson DeWitt is behind the attack of Stark Archives, wanting revenge against Tony after he shut down his Theoretical Weapons Division. DeWitt helped finance Shatalov's insurrection in exchange for energy supplied by the Roxxon Corporation. However, Ultimo soon takes centre-stage after DeWitt uses his PROTEAN tech to merge with him. It's left ambiguous how much control DeWitt still has afterwards, but Ultimo plans weaponize Project Greengrid and destroy Tony once and for all.

Continuity Nod: It's mentioned that the Roxxon Corporation ended up buying out Hammer Industries following Justin Hammer's arrest at the end of the film. J.A.R.V.I.S. helps prevent Rhodey's armour being taken over the PROTEAN tech while storming A.I.M.'s headquarters. Rhodey is relieved that he doesn't have to worry about his suit getting hijacked again, referencing Vanko doing just that in the climax of the movie.
