 The '90s Animated Adaptation based on the Marvel Universe Superhero and his alter ego, Tony Stark. (An earlier Iron Man animated series was shown as part of the The Marvel Super Heroes lineup that ran in 1966.)Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })This series ran for two seasons from 1994 to 1996 alongside Fantastic Four as part of the syndicated Marvel Action Hour. Like Fantastic Four, it had a bland first season and a significantly improved second.The first season dealt with Iron Man and his team of fellow superheroes, Force Works — consisting of War Machine, Spider-Woman (Julia Carpenter), Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch, and Century — battling the forces of the evil Mandarin, such as Whirlwind and Grey Gargoyle. The episodes in this season were mostly one-part stories. Common points of contention for many during this season were the shoddy animation, general outdatedness and that other than the "Origin of Iron Man" two-parter, which modernized his origins, there were no attempts to adapt stories from the comic mythos.The second season featured much better animation (due in part by switching to a different animation studio) and stories more similar to the comic. It was more Arc based, and the Superhero team aspect was downplayed with all the teammates besides Spider-Woman and War Machine resigning after Tony faked his death without letting them in on the plan. Mandarin was also downplayed, having small cameos in some episodes as he reclaims his powerful Ten Rings, which were scattered during a confrontation with Iron Man in the season premiere.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

 Abridged Series: Got one as part of Marvel Mash-Up; strangely, they chose to use season 2 instead of season 1.

 Middle Name Basis

comment
 Tony's parents are called Walter and Martha instead of Howard and Maria. That said, season 2 did retcon this as a case of Middle Name Basis for Walter and that Howard is indeed his first name (it was also Ret-Canon to the comics in the 2011 S.H.I.E.L.D. series)

 Achilles in His Tent

comment
 Achilles in His Tent: Force Works in Season 2 effectively disbands when half the team (Scarlet Witch, Hawkeye, and Century) quits, having become disgusted by Tony faking his death and not letting them in on it. They do come Back for the Finale.

 Adaptation Name Change

comment
 Adaptation Name Change: Ho Yinsen became Wellington Yinsen. Tony's parents are called Walter and Martha instead of Howard and Maria. That said, season 2 did retcon this as a case of Middle Name Basis for Walter and that Howard is indeed his first name (it was also Ret-Canon to the comics in the 2011 S.H.I.E.L.D. series) Tony himself doesn't escape this as his middle initial is "B", suggesting his middle name isn't "Edward" here. In keeping with the earlier idea her father was the Whizzer, not Magneto, the Scarlet Witch's last name is "Frank", not "Lehnsherr".

 The Igor

comment
 MODOK's condition wasn't caused by A.I.M. trying to turn a man into a supercomputer (like in the comics); rather, he was mutated by his rival, the Red Ghost (who apparently created Titanium Man)note in the comics, Red Ghost is typically an enemy of the Fantastic Four, and is/was a Soviet scientist who intentionally exposed himself and his trained apes to cosmic rays to gain superpowers; aside from both having worked for the Soviets, he and Titanium Man have no connection, and he and the comics M.O.D.O.K. have never worked together either, over the affections of a woman. This results in MODOK serving the Mandarin as The Igor, whilst they have never worked together in the comics.
