| The Invincible Iron Man | comment |
Before Iron Man made his debut on the big screen, Marvel Animations released an animated film in 2007, exploring a variation on the character's origins. The film uses the premise that Iron Man has to battle the forces of the Mandarin, in this film a long-deceased Chinese emperor, before they can resurrect their master and bring about the end of the known world.The film has not been received particularly well, especially in comparison of the previous Ultimate Avengers films (though notably, Marc Worden reprises his role as Iron Man in this film and would do so again for Planet Hulk). However, some elements of the film do seem to have left a lasting impression upon the franchise, Marvel even seems to have adopted the opening musical score as the main theme for the character, which has even been heard used in Iron Man: Armored Adventures and The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes. | |

Canon Foreigner: Li Mei, Iron Man's love interest, is original to this film. She seems to have replaced Ho Yinsen and usurped Pepper Potts's role. | |

"Well Done, Son" Guy | |
| The Invincible Iron Man / int_1779f10e | comment |
"Well Done, Son" Guy: Tony and Li Mei both have daddy issues, Tony because he doesn't take his job as seriously as Howard would like and Li Mei because of her disdain for the Ten Rings' projects. | |

Adaptational Badass: The Mark One armor is bigger and looks more badass than its comic counterpart. Although it being more competently made than the comic Mark One is actually justified by the fact that, Tony already had experience creating Power Suits. | |

Adaptational Nice Guy: Tony was already against weapons in this version and a nice guy in general before getting injured, in part because his mother Maria had never approved of Stark Enterprises making money through military contracts. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| The Invincible Iron Man / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Li Mei's flashback to her father has a few choice words, namely that he's upset he won't be the one to face the Mandarin or that he had a daughter and not a son who will do the job. Li Mei's reaction to learning Tony is the "Iron Knight" who will battle the Mandarin also leaves her distraught as opposed to relieved. None of this makes much sense since she's part of a group dedicated to keeping the Mandarin from coming back at all. | |

Feed It a Bomb: A variant — the fifth of the Mandarin's elementals, the non-elemental dragon, dies when Tony tricks it into swallowing a container of special liquid steel, then triggers the steel to swell and solidify inside it. Some of it even forms spikes that burst out of the beast's body, killing it. | |
