Just released to DVD is Iron Man: Armored Adventures Season 2 Vol 3which is a huge hit with my boys! This disc sees Iron Man taking on Magneto and a relative from the far-flung future. Tony must also prevent Stark International from falling into the clutches of a despised enemy. He is one busy teenager!
Here is a list of the episodes included on this DVD:
Heavy Mettle– After the events involving the Iron Monger armor, Obadiah Stane begins to have it mass-produced. With footage discovered by Tony Stark and Roberta Rhodes which involved his deal with Ghost, Obadiah Stane is fired by the Chairman of the Board. Unfortunately, a comment from Tony accidentally reveals Iron Man’s real identity to Obadiah.
Mandarin’s Quest- Mandarin is back and desperately needs Tony’s help to claim the eighth Makluan ring. Tony refuses his offer until Mandarin uses one of Makluan Rings to make Tony a slave for him. Now Tony has no choice but to join forces with Mandarin and get the eighth Makluan ring, which is guarded by the Grim Reaper.
Hostile Takeover- Justin Hammer manages to buy Stark International, much to the disappointment of Tony Stark. As Iron Man, Tony plans to expose Justin Hammer’s true nature. This won’t be easy since he’ll have to go through Killer Shrike, Unicorn, Whiplash, and even Titanium Man to do so. In the end, even though Hammer owns Stark International, Tony Stark decides to create his own company called Stark Solutions.
Extremis- When S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Mallen is fired by General Nick Fury, Mallen takes the super-serum “Extremis” and mutates into a powerful maniac bent on revenge. When Iron Man tries to fight Mallen, he ends up defeated and in critical health … and his only salvation would be a dose of the selfsame Extremis.
The X-Factor– Tony’s new friend Annie Claremont turns out to be a mutant on the run from Magneto(who wants to use her to assassinate anti-mutant politician Senator Robert Kelly). Iron Man tries to protect her, but how can he fight a mutant with a mastery over all things metal?
Iron Man 2099– Tony gets an unexpected visitation from his future grandson Andros, who has come to eliminate Tony Stark, since he believes that by designing a super-virus named ‘Vortex’, Tony will be responsible for a catastrophe in the year 2099. Now Tony must take down his own futuristic grandson with the help of Hawkeye, Black Widow, and S.H.I.E.L.D. while avoiding the future disaster at the same time!
Gaiam/Vivendi Entertainment was nice enough to send my family a copy of this DVD to review. As I have said before, this is one of the few programs that the entire family agrees on! Hubby and I were happy to see the X-Men making a appearance is this DVD, while the boys always like seeing the Avengers. This series is perfect for boys ages 6 and up, but my 4 year old is a fan, I am just not convinced he understands all the concepts.
Iron Man: Armored Adventures Season 2 Vol 3 has a running time of 66 minutes and retails for $14.93. This DVD can be purchase online now at amazon.com and would make the perfect Valentine’s Gift for you little boy!
