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.)This series ran for two seasons from 1994 to 1996 alongside Fantastic Four: The Animated Series 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.Season 2 episodes of the show were later edited and redubbed as part of Marvel Mash-Up.The series is currently available to stream on Disney+ in multiple countries. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Iron Man: The Animated Series / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: The second season had darker colors, a more mature tone, and spent time developing the more self-destructive aspects of Stark as a character. Ex-KGB who wants to basically bring back the Cold War and win it decides to launch a nuke at a Russian city and make America look responsible, and when stopped, decides to detonate it there, atomizing himself and anyone else in the immediate area, and causing numerous deaths from radiation poisoning. No, this isn't an episode of 24, it's an episode of a kids' cartoon. It's Crimson Dynamo's swan-song, setting off the animated version of the Armor Wars storyline... which is also one of those episodes that shows Stark's dark side. | |

Jumping Off the Slippery Slope | |
| Iron Man: The Animated Series / int_1520ad7e | comment |
Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: In the "Armor Wars" two-parter, Tony starts out by simply attacking villains using armor—stopping them in the middle of crimes and demonstrating that they were using technology stolen from him. However, he quickly becomes more obsessive and starts going after good guys that wear armor, such as Stingray and even War Machine. All the while, Iron Man is condemned as a menace, while Julia and Rhodey denounce him, Nearly getting killed by Justin Hammer's new weapon, though, knocks some sense into him and causes him to clean up his act. | |

All There in the Manual | |
| Iron Man: The Animated Series / int_17ce80aa | comment |
All There in the Manual: The show generally assumes the audience is familiar with the comics, as many of the characters never really get their backstories explored. This is especially noticeable with Titanium Man, who is introduced with very little explanation, despite Iron Man claiming to have fought him in the past. Madame Masque's past relationship with Tony, as well as the incident that led to her disfigurement, are never explored in any real detail. The most we get is her blaming Tony for ruining her face and Tony talking about how he had to break up with her because she wanted his company. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Iron Man: The Animated Series / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Wanda Maximoff being renamed "Wanda Frank" is a reference to the period in the comics (before Magneto was revealed to be her father) where she and her brother were thought to be the children of Robert Frank, the the Golden Age hero known as the Whizzer. Julia in a season 2 episode name-checks Captain America. Peter Parker gets referenced in a tongue-twister by H.O.M.E.R. when the latter goes off his rocker thanks to a computer virus. In "Fire and Rain" Tony says Jim needs to meet him at the "Roxxon refinery"; in the comics Roxxon is a major oil company and a major foe of Tony's (though their role in the Sunturion plot was transferred to AIM). When IM and the others receive Firebrand's broadcast in "Fire and Rain", Rhodey remarks that it's "Time warp, 1968". 1968 was the year Iron Man got his own comic book (having been part of Tales of Suspense until then), though Firebrand himself didn't debut until 1970. | |

Not Helping Your Case: In "The Defection of Hawkeye", the Mandarin tries to set up Hawkeye as a traitor. However, the team doesn't believe he is, they just call him out on his attitude. Tony on the other hand is the one to point out that because of Hawkeye's refusal to explain his recent whereabouts, it was easy for the Mandarin to frame him to begin with. | |

Once an Episode: Season 1 had a CGI Transformation Sequence, where Tony would suit up. Most Season 2 episodes in-between the premiere and finale ended with a tag scene showing the Mandarin slowly reclaiming his rings. The only exceptions were "The Armor Wars, Part I" (which had a story-related cliffhanger) and "Empowered" (a Clip Show that featured the Mandarin heavily). | |

Actor Allusion: In "Iron Man on the Inside", Tony comments (while their plane is being manhandled by Ultimo) "All things considered, I'd rather be in Detroit." In Airplane!, Robert Hays' character Ted Stryker commented on how a dive bar was "worse than Detroit". This may also double as a Mythology Gag — in the comics, Tony briefly moved his base of operations to Detroit. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Several Season 2 episodes. "The Beast Within": The Mandarin's team is arrested and the dragons' plan is foiled, but Tony's actions cause half of Force Works and the remaining members to still give him grief. Also, viewers learn that the Mandarin is Not Quite Dead. "Fire and Rain": Firebrand is arrested, but Rhodey is left shaken and gives up being War Machine. "Cell of Iron": Arthur Dearborn sacrifices his life and dream to save millions of people. "Not Far From the Tree": AIM's plot to take over Stark Enterprises fails, but the clone of Walter Stark escapes and intends to revisit his "son" when he's feeling most vulnerable. "Beauty Knows No Pain": Madame Masque is stopped, but Tony and Julia are left feeling sorry for her, as well as reflecting on Tony's own lonely life. | |

Stock Footage: Season 1 featured the lengthy clip of Tony suiting up as Iron Man and dubbing in new dialogue for different episodes. "Hulk Buster" reuses the climatic explosion from "The Beast Within" and a Hulk transformation from Fantastic Four: The Animated Series. The fight between Iron Man and Hawkeye in the "Armor Wars: Part 1" uses the same close-up of Hawkeye grinning while preparing an arrow at least twice. | |

Leaning on the Fourth Wall: When Iron Man and the Hulk get sent to the prehistoric past in "Hulk Buster", Tony sarcastically asks if someone just changed the channel. Likewise, in "Hands of the Mandarin: Part 1," Tony says "You don't have to be a cartoon writer to figure out the Mandarin is behind [the terrorist attacks in Hong Kong]." note This was likely a Take That! at the first season's primary writer Ron Friedman, who always had the Mandarin behind every single plot and it would typically take a while for Tony and the others to catch on. | |

Broad Strokes: The second season sometimes had callbacks to events from the first season, like Tony and Julia's fake wedding, and a flashback scene with Tony in his season 1 armor (with mouthslit), but most of these were few and far between (likely because the new episodes were nothing like the earlier ones). | |

10-Minute Retirement: Tony has one of these in "Armor Wars." Rhodey also takes a step back from heroics after "Fire and Rain". Circumstances force him back into the armor a few more times throughout the season, before Tony destroys the War Machine suit during the "Armor Wars" two-parter. He finally becomes War Machine again in the two-part series finale. | |

Superman Stays Out of Gotham | |
| Iron Man: The Animated Series / int_70489c17 | comment |
Superman Stays Out of Gotham: The series was generally lighter on special guest stars than other Marvel cartoons of the era, especially Spider-Man: The Animated Series and Fantastic Four: The Animated Series. This is particularly noticeable in the two-part Series Finale, where the Mandarin shuts off all of the technology in New York City. Despite New York being home to the vast majority of the superheroes in the Marvel Universe, no other costumed heroes are seen helping out while the city is devolving into chaos. | |

Toyless Toyline Character | |
| Iron Man: The Animated Series / int_705d9b89 | comment |
Toyless Toyline Character: For a show meant to shill toys, several: On the heroes' side, Scarlet Witch and Stingray. Amongst the bad guys, Hypnotia, Justin Hammer, Firebrand, Controller, Stilt-Man, Beetle, Dark Aegis, and Firepower. In Dark Aegis's case, much like the US Agent/Living Laser figure, his planned toy was reused for the X-Men's "Mutant Armor" subline as a figure for Beast. Beetle's case may be justifiable because he was released as part of the Spider-Man toyline, and Marvel toylines from the same time are similar enough to be put together as a same collection, so a Beetle in the Iron Man line would have been redundant. What is still strange, is that the Spidey toyline was series-based too, and Beetle didn't appear in the Spider-Man cartoon. Strangely subverted with US Agent, who was a member of Force Works in the comics but not the show (due to legal issues), yet had a figure produced for this toy line — though, in this case, it wasn't legally available. See, the US Agent figure was dropped because the number of slots available in the toyline were cutback (company-wide), and the figure was planned to become a figure of the Living Laser in series 5 of the Toy Biz line, but the line was cancelled. However, the figure, with LL's armor pieces, was retooled as the "Astral Armor Professor Xavier" figure in the "X-Men Mutant Armor" line (the other figures from that series were put into the "Spider-Man Techno Wars" and the aforementioned Mutant Armor lines). Justified for Stingray, Controller, Stilt-Man, and Firepower, as they were only in the "Armor Wars" two-parter, Justin Hammer was merely a civilian (albeit one secretly corrupt), while Firebrand was only in one episode. | |

Remember the New Guy? | |
| Iron Man: The Animated Series / int_77b03c0a | comment |
Remember the New Guy?: Dark Aegis was introduced as a villain Iron Man had supposedly already fought and defeated in the past, even though he'd never been seen or mentioned before his debut episode. Several villains IM faced in the comics who show up in season 2 are generally treated like this — A.I.M., Madame Masque, the Beetle and the Controller (Stilt-Man doesn't count since he's more a funny Continuity Cameo than anything else). The final episode introduces a Chinese scientist named Dr. Su-Yin, who has conveniently developed a special suit of armor that runs on bio-energy, and is thus impervious to the Mandarin's anti-technology mist. She and Tony are clearly very close and it's stated that they had been working together on the bio-energy microprocessors for several years, despite neither Su-Yin nor the project ever having been mentioned before this. | |

Adaptation Explanation Extrication | |
| Iron Man: The Animated Series / int_794f3589 | comment |
Adaptation Explanation Extrication: It's never explained just where the Mandarin got the Heart of Darkness he used in the season 2 finale from. During Century's peering into Hypnotia's mind, we briefly see a shot of the crystal with the face of a Makulan (the race of alien dragons, including Fin Fang Foom, seen in "The Beast Within") briefly visible, so presumably it's another one of their artifacts like his rings (the fact that the power-generating thrones that the members of Force Works, and later the Mandarin's henchpeople, are strapped to are dragon-shaped furthers this idea). (In the comics, it was a 20,000 year old sphere that fell to Earth, but it was from a long-gone alien race and had no connection to the Makulans.) | |

Token Competent Minion | |
| Iron Man: The Animated Series / int_8b79552f | comment |
Token Competent Minion: Hypnotia was consistently the only competent one among the Mandarin's lackeys. The very first episode opened with her successfully completing her mission to turn a submarine crew into zombie servants for the Mandarin. It's telling that Hypnotia was the only one of the Mandarin's lackeys who could get away with snarking at him without receiving a murder threat in return. | |

Wham Episode: "The Beast Within": Fin Fang Foom is written out, the Mandarin's rings are scattered across the world (and he's thought to be dead), his Legion of Doom gets arrested, and Iron Man's Jerkass scheming costs him half his team. “The Armor Wars: Part 1�: Crimson Dynamo commits suicide by flying to the base of a nuclear missile while pursued by a heat seeking missile, and the resulting explosion leads to thousands of people getting radiation poisoning. | |

Self-Serving Memory: In the season 2 premiere, it's the Mandarin's idea for him and Iron Man to combine their powers to defeat the Makluan dragons. However, this results in a large explosion and him losing his rings, and by the season 2 finale he's convinced himself that Iron Man tricked him into the plan to try and get rid of him. | |

Tragic Keepsake: Zigzagged (subverted?)for the Mandarin: the rings he uses to mount the alien gems that serve as his Rings of Power are all he has left of his fiancee after she was killed/dragged away by Mongolian bandits. The tragedy is subverted in that he abandoned her to die in order to heighten his own chance of successfully escaping. | |

Tension-Cutting Laughter: While chewing Tony out for his actions in Armor Wars, Julia insists that he can't just ask her and Rhodey for forgiveness; their emotions aren't something he can switch on and off like a computer. H.O.M.E.R asks if he should be offended by that, and Tony, Julia and Rhodey all crack up. Tony isn't laughing for long, since he's in pretty bad shape. Happens again while Rhodey and Tony are stranded on an alien world with an unbreathable atmosphere - and Rhodey has an attack of claustrophobia in his suit. Tony tries to calm him down, then finally threatens to slap him if necessary. | |

Merchandise-Driven | |
| Iron Man: The Animated Series / int_a19cce82 | comment |
Merchandise-Driven: Likely the reason why the first season featured Iron Man and Force Works vs. the Mandarin's Legion of Doom (it was a very similar setup to The Transformers, ThunderCats, and He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (1983)), and definitely the reason that season 2 gave Iron Man the ability to switch armors on the fly to adapt to any situation. Marvel had looked at the success of the multi-colored Batman toys in the wake of Batman Returns and were trying to copy its success with Iron Man by giving him an armor for every occasion (and compared to Batman, IM's different armor variants made sense most of the time). It didn't take off as well as Marvel had hoped. This also led to Executive Meddling for comics at the time: West Coast Avengers was canceled in favor of the more Iron Man-centric Force Works in preparation for the hoped-for Iron Man fad. | |

Ascended Extra | |
| Iron Man: The Animated Series / int_a65288e2 | comment |
Ascended Extra: An odd example. Hypnotia is the first villain actually shown in the first episode, beyond the opening credits, and she's shown successfully completing her mission. She then disappears for the next few episodes before Hypnotia reappears and starts getting bigger roles. This is only in the first season mind you, as she's mostly absent alongside the other villains for most of season two besides the opening and ending episodes. Dreadknight is actually from the comics, but he only had a handful of appearances before the series. | |

Compressed Adaptation: "The Beast Within" is an adaptation of the comics' "Dragon Seed Saga" storyline, which went on for multiple issues; here, it's only one episode long (though it's a Wham Episode). Downplayed with the "Armor Wars" arc, which went for multiple comic issues but became a two-parter, and "Hands of the Mandarin", which in the comics spanned the separate Iron Man, War Machine and Force Works titles (plus a few backup stories in the Marvel Comics Presents anthology series); it's compressed into a two-parter season finale here. | |

Chuck Cunningham Syndrome | |
| Iron Man: The Animated Series / int_c33ba0a8 | comment |
Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: While the Mandarin's lackeys were used less frequently in Season 2 in general, Justin Hammer, M.O.D.O.K., Hypnotia, Whirlwind, Blizzard, Blacklash and Titanium Man all made at least one guest appearance each. Grey Gargoyle, Living Laser, and Dreadknight were far less fortunate, and completely stopped appearing after the first season, save for a few of them having a brief cameo in the Season 2 premiere (and Grey Gargoyle having a cameo in prison in the "Armor Wars" two-parter). What makes it odd is that the Mandarin eventually frees Hypnotia, Blizzard, Whirlwind and Blacklash from prison, but neglects to recover the rest of their former teammates. Veronica, Tony's physical therapist, also vanished after Season 1. | |

Teeth-Clenched Teamwork | |
| Iron Man: The Animated Series / int_c3648b87 | comment |
Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: After Force Works dissolves in Season 2, War Machine and Hawkeye don't bother to hide their mutual disdain for each other, as Rhodey is angry at Hawkeye for leaving and Hawkeye at Rhodey for staying. Their mutual anger at each other extends to other members on both sides as well as Clint doesn't bother hiding his contempt at Julia for her staying, either, and while Rhodey doesn't say anything about Century, he does make a snide remark about Tony welcoming Wanda back in the Grand Finale. | |

Ret-Canon | |
| Iron Man: The Animated Series / int_c6898a73 | comment |
Ret-Canon: The current comics reveal that the Mandarin was involved in the kidnapping of Tony Stark and Yinsen. The post-Secret Wars relaunch incorporates the idea of Tony being able to switch armors at will. The 2011 S.H.I.E.L.D. series brought in the idea that "Walter" is Howard Stark's middle name. | |

Shout-Out: The villain Beetle talks like a member of a certain rock band. Iron Man even tells him he's "In for a hard day's night" when they first meet. The reporter in "The Wedding of Iron Man" mentions the time Madonna married "Whatshisname," as well as when Elizabeth Taylor married "everyone else." In the same episode, M.O.D.O.K. jokingly says they'll have to get Hypnotia to do a standup routine on David Letterman's show. Julia once mentioned Captain America in a season 2 episode. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
| Iron Man: The Animated Series / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: Tony's buddies are rather ticked after learning he faked his death without letting them know it was a ruse to stop Mandarin's scheme in "The Beast Within." The "Armor Wars" two-parter is pretty much this non-stop until Tony has a What Have I Done moment after defeating the heroic Stingray only to find that Stingray was not using his technology. The first season had an episode where Tony fooled the Mandarin into thinking that Tony Stark and Iron Man were separate people by having Julia (Spider-Woman) marry a robot duplicate with everyone being in on the charade except for Wanda, who was very upset at the deception. And even though she was in on it, Season 2 had Julia rightly point out how she was being jerked around. | |

The result is H.O.M.E.R.'s holo-avatar constantly switching colors, his voice randomly modulating and him spouting non-sequiturs. Fortunately, Julia uploads an anti-virus program and he quickly returns to normal. | |

Race Lift: In the 1994 animated series, the Mandarin is actually pure British by origin, instead of his comic book self's Mongolian; his green-skinned, pointy-eared, claw-fingered, Fu Manchu-mustachioed form is something he was warped into after he gathered the ten alien power crystals that become the Rings of Power. | |

Adaptation Name Change | |
| Iron Man: The Animated Series / int_dc057cf3 | 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 her canonical last name of "Maximoff" (or even Magneto's at-the-time last name of "Lehnsherr"). | |

Composite Character | |
| Iron Man: The Animated Series / int_e4965307 | comment |
Composite Character: Julia Carpenter (Spider-Woman) has a lot of traits of Pepper Potts. It's more evident in the second season. She's also somewhat of an Expy for Bethany Cabe, Stark's other red-haired associate at the time. Sunturion's human form, Arthur Dearborn, had a completely different look in the comics; his appearance in the show appears to be taken from another Roxxon-associated character, Abner Doolittle. The Mandroids have the same armor as the Guardsmen from the comics. Titanium Man is a composite of both comic versions, having the identity of the first (Boris Bullski) and the armor design of the second (the Gremlin). Coincidentally, Bullski eventually did adopt Gremlin's armor design for a while in the comics. Roxxon, while namechecked as owning a refinery, has its' villainous role in the Star Well project transferred to AIM; AIM also took the role of the villainous forces attacking the Star Well (which in the comics was the Soviet Union). HOMER did not have a holographic form in the comics; his avatar here comes from PLATO, the AI that aided the comics version of Force Works. | |

Adaptation Origin Connection | |
| Iron Man: The Animated Series / int_e8dca77c | comment |
Adaptation Origin Connection: The Mandarin is the one who captures Tony Stark and Yinsen, which results in the creation of the Iron Man armor. Yinsen himself is involved in the Mandarin's origin story as well as Iron Man's. 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. | |

Crossover | |
| Iron Man: The Animated Series / int_eb7c34cf | comment |
Crossover: Iron Man appears (alongside War Machine) in a few episodes of Spider-Man: The Animated Series (with a new design that mixes his season one and two designs with new elements borrowed from the Telepresence unit from the comics; War Machine also got a different appearance, with comics-accurate shoulder cannons), and later appeared in the show's adaptation of Secret Wars (1984). He appears too (alongside War Machine once again, plus H.O.M.E.R.) in an episode of The Incredible Hulk (1996), "Helping Hand, Iron Fist"; it's something of a Sequel Episode to "Hulkbuster", with Tony and Bruce Banner already being friends and being a Secret-Keeper for the other. He also made a couple of cameo appearances in Fantastic Four: The Animated Series as a member/leader of the Avengers (although he doesn't speak; it's also the only time the lead characters of both shows had any on-screen interaction). An alternate future counterpart of IM, in green armor, made a quick cameo in the X-Men: The Animated Series episode "One Man's Worth". War Machine also made a couple of silent cameos in other episodes. | |

Anger Born of Worry | |
| Iron Man: The Animated Series / int_f4b1129f | comment |
Anger Born of Worry: Twice in Season 2. In "The Beast Within", Iron Man fakes his death by the Mandarin's hands, leading the rest of the team without their leader and to battle with Fin Fang Foom and the other dragons without him. Just as they seem to be losing, Iron Man appears out of the sky, and teams up with the Mandarin to stop the dragons. The scene has War Machine sound overjoyed at his best friend's survival, but in literally the next scene, Rhodey knocks Tony to the ground and chews him out for not having enough trust in the team to let them know he's alive. This is actually what led to Force Works disbanding. During the "Armor Wars" two-parter, after Tony discovers that his designs have been stolen, he goes on a crusade to disable the armored heroes and villains using his technology to keep them falling into the wrong hands. It gets to the point that he "fires" Iron Man as Stark Enterprises can't associate with a Corporate Samurai gone rogue, and acts more rashly - while shutting out his friends and allies, even attacking one of them. Julia goes out her way to call him out on the crap he's pulled over the years - not just recently, and when he fakes his death again but lets Julia and Rhodey know he's alive, the former goes through the emotional ringer - first in grief to Tony's "death", then elation, and later takes Tony to task again for his recklessness and selfish actions, and makes it very clear to him that he hurt both Rhodey and herself in his paranoia over the stolen Stark tech, even if he hadn't set out to do so. | |

Never Found the Body | |
| Iron Man: The Animated Series / int_f516f938 | comment |
Never Found the Body: Defeating the dragons in "The Beast Within" causes a massive explosion. Iron Man assumes the Mandarin was killed, but viewers quickly learn he's wrong. Justified, though, as the blast was powerful enough to kill all five dragons. | |

Hit Them in the Pocketbook | |

Hit Them in the Pocketbook: At the end of the "Armor Wars" two-parter, Iron Man is unable to prove that rival industrialist Justin Hammer stole his armor designs and sabotaged several Stark Industries operations. So he resorts to feeding a virus into Hammer Industries' network that wipes out everything in their systems. As he walks away, IM smugly states that if Hammer works hard enough, he might just be able to avoid bankruptcy. | |

We Would Have Told You, But...: Outside of the Scarlet Witch, everyone knew the wedding between Tony and Julia was fake, but they wanted Wanda's reaction to be genuine. As part of the more route of season 2, Julia herself was also shown to be quite resentful of her role in the affair. Force Works quits after Tony pulls this on them with faking his own death in the second season premiere. | |
