STANE: Very few
people on this earth frighten me, O'Brien.
But this man utterly chills me to the bone.
O'BRIEN: I've never seen him in real life, sir.
I kinda thought he was more a figurehead,
an invention to scare the people.
No, that's him behind the mask.
He rarely visits this country,
but wanted to acquire the Iron Man specs personally.
Iron Man keeps corrupting the files as soon as they go online.
OK, men, here he comes. Keep calm.
Lowly citizens of this oppressive nation!
Lower your eyes
and bow your heads for the absolute Monarch of Latveria...
Doctor Victor Von Doom!
[thunder]
D-Doctor Doom!
It's a true honor to finally meet such an esteemed...
Spare me your banal obsequiousness, Stane.
I have no tolerance for this puerile, overindulgent country.
Let our business be short. Doom departs in 13 hours.
Of course, Your Eminence. The Iron Man specs are yours...
as long as you assist us with Project Monger... as... agreed?
[groans]
Do you doubt Von Doom?
[strains] Of course not.
It is known Doom is a man of his word.
I will honor you
by contributing my knowledge to your petty project.
But first... the Iron Man designs.
PROFESSOR BENNING: Another one
of Japan's modern exports is technology.
Besides America, Japan is a leading force
in technological advancements...
That's true, but isn't Latveria also a leader in technology?
RHONA: [laughs]
Latveria is still a developing country, Stark.
Tony is right, Rhona.
Latveria is
a fast-approaching superpower, based on their weapons alone.
So can you tell us more about Latveria, Professor Benning?
Well, it's a bit off-topic...
Latveria is a tiny country which borders
Romania, Hungary and Serbia.
Their ruler is a man rarely seen:
a cruel despot named Doctor Victor Von Doom.
The country is a complete monarchy, with no legislature.
Its laws change daily based on Doom's whims.
That's lame! How can he get away with that?
SHIELD should just fly in and take him down!
No government, or SHIELD,
can just take control of any country they want.
That's the attitude of an evil monarchy.
[bell]
Finish the chapter by Tuesday!
So what's up with all the Latveria questions?
-Thinking about a vacation? -It's a long story, Pepper.
I'll tell you back at the armory.
WHITNEY: Tony, we need to talk.
Uh-oh. I forgot another date, didn't I?
It's not about us.
It's about my dad.
He's not himself. On edge.
There's some diplomat visiting, but he won't say who.
[clears throat]
Whitney, I'm sorry. I gotta run.
I promised Roberta I'd do chores.
We're still on for dinner tonight, right?
Umm... sure! Yeah, yeah. I'll call you.
[beeps]
DOCTOR DOOM: I grow impatient, Stane.
The Iron Man specs. Give them to me.
Of course, Your Eminence.
All contained on this zetabyte drive.
[click]
The designs are as inferior as expected.
Now... about our arrangement?
I need your amazing, unparalleled genius
for the heart of my problem.
Sycophantic fool!
I have already found the solution on the plane ride over.
I just need to see the archaic device.
[Doom's footsteps pound]
I knew it! Doom was on his way here.
I just didn't realize he was here now.
Why don't you fill us in,
'cause I got clue zero what you're talking about.
Doctor Doom.
I found some coded transmissions that Stane sent to Latveria!
He wants the armor specs Stane and Hammer stole.
Whoa! Doom wants your armor!
That's almost an honor, sorta...
Stane's trading my stolen specs for... for what, I don't know.
The transmission had deep encryption I couldn't crack.
RHODEY: [groans]
Please tell me you're not gonna do what I think you're gonna do.
I'm gonna grab the specs before Doom takes them home
and builds who-knows-what? Doombots or something!
You can't go after him. Doom has diplomatic immunity!
I have no choice, Rhodey.
Von Doom is one of the smartest and evillest men on the planet!
PEPPER: Whoa, check it out!
I just found a conspiracy site all about him:
Megasuperpowereddictators.evil!
A once-noble young Victor Von Doom
accidentally killed the royal Von Doom family
in a science experiment gone awry.
Both his mother and young bride-to-be, Valeria, perished.
The explosion also scarred Doom for life,
forcing him to forever wear his armor.
Whoa. That sounds a little too familiar, doesn't it, Tony?
Except Doom uses his mind and his tech for pure evil.
But he's not gonna use my tech.
I got a bad feeling about this.
This is it.
The Monger Core.
The problem is that it's too big and burns out far too quickly.
This is an over-sized toy.
It's nuclear, unstable,
and clearly the reason it doesn't work
is that Iron Man has been tampering with it.
Iron Man? I knew it!
It must be quantum-based tech of my own design.
I will reduce its size by 83%
and increase its power a thousandfold.
-Excellent, My Lord... -Silence!
My sensors are picking up something close...
PEPPER: Any luck, Tony?
Nothing. Stane is using my stolen specs
as the basis for his antisurveillance protection.
He's locking me out with my own tech!
I'm good at messing myself up.
I don't like it, man. Maybe I should suit up and fly in.
TONY: Relax, Captain Paranoid!
After all, I'm too far away for Doom to even notice.
If I'm gonna nail him and grab my specs,
I'm gonna have to do it fast. In and out just like... that?
DOCTOR DOOM: So,
this is the famous Iron Man. Amusing.
I am Doom.
Umm... can't say I'm pleased to meet you.
You look like a freaky medieval robot.
Half-witted fool!
The armor you wear, relinquish it,
or I shall tear you limb from limb like an insect!
Oh, yeah? Let's see you back that threat...
[yells, crash]
[clang]
[crashing]
Tony! Are you OK?
Who dropped... that gamma bomb?
Get outta there, man! You don't know what you're dealing with!
That's it, I'm suiting up.
S-scanning Doom's armor now...
Trying to find a weakness.
SUIT: Doom armor composition unknown.
Scanning render breakdown six hours.
Six hours?
Doom's making my armor look like a toaster with arms!
[zap]
Your famed repulsor technology! Almost comical.
[thrumming]
[explosion]
He's like some crazy unstoppable Kill-bot!
TONY: Rhodey, where are you?
I need some serious back...
Doom repeats himself only once.
The armor, give it to me,
and your end will be relatively painless.
Kiss my iron...
aaargh... [thwack]
[thwack]
[crashing]
[groans]
I... I won't stay down, Doom.
I won't give up!
DOCTOR DOOM: You have riled the fury of Doom!
Now I shall conjure a specter of D'Spare
to rend the very soul from your body!
[thrumming]
[screams]
Where am I?
[echoing] There is no escape from Doom! [cackles]
No!
[crash]
Tony! Tony come in! Oh, no.
Your defeat was inevitable, Iron Man.
You cannot withstand the vast powers Doom has tapped.
And now your armor is mine.
WAR MACHINE: Let him go!
Or you'll have to deal with me
and 1,000 pounds of explosive artillery!
They call you War Machine, yes?
Do your worst.
[rapid laser fire]
Come on!
Rhodey, it's not working! Just get Tony and get outta there!
[fizzles out]
Loud, crude, and totally ineffective.
[zap]
[crash]
Rhodey!
I'm OK, Pepper.
I'm gonna bust Doom's head open with the XXL Bunker-Buster!
Nothing can stand up to that sweet little payload.
[whoosh]
That's not possible!
Your life ends now, War Machine.
[zap, crash]
[zap, then explosion]
[building crashes to the ground]
WAR MACHINE: Tony, you're back!
PEPPER: No, it's me. I'm controlling the armor!
Tony's still out like a light!
Come on, we have to get him back here ASAP!
[whooshing]
[crash]
[whoosh]
Next time, Iron Man.
TONY: OK, Tony, keep it together. Keep it together.
This isn't real. Doom messed with your head.
It's hypnosis... hallucination...
[cries out]
Focus! Think about Pepper and Rhodey! Think!
[whoosh]
Yes!
[gasps]
Tony! You're back!
I just had the worst nightmare I ever...
Wait, that wasn't a nightmare, was it?
Whatever it was, you were out for three hours.
Three hours?
Doom did something to my head. His technology...
It's like Doom has...
magic powers.
I gotta get closer to Doom.
I need a deeper analysis of his armor.
And I think I know where to start.
TONY: Obadiah!
Stane, we need to talk.
I don't have time right now, Tony. I'm a very busy man.
I don't like the way you run Stark International, Obadiah.
But the board does. So I think you should step aside.
See you when you turn 18, Tony.
Or not.
-Everything work out? -Like a charm.
TONY: Stane never realized I slapped two B.U.G.S. on him.
What if Doom's armor picks 'em up?
The B.U.G.S. stand for Biotech Undercover Guided Surveillance.
They imitate organic life,
so Doom'll think they're just harmless houseflies, hopefully.
Now let's check out what's going on inside.
Man, I love technology!
You did it, Lord Doom!
DOCTOR DOOM: Indeed.
In 3 hours what your scientists couldn't do in 3 months.
Incredible!
[fluttering]
[zap]
You are a fool, Stane!
There are surveillance devices in this room as we speak.
[core hums]
I warned you Iron Man would interfere.
One of the B.U.G.S. is still online.
Why can't anything work out?
Your program's halfway through analyzing Doom's armor.
Maybe that'll help?
Wow!
Doom's armor is advanced. I mean really advanced.
It uses quantum-dot technology I thought was ten years away.
Wait, I left my Nerd Translator in my other purse.
TONY: Arthur C. Clarke once said,
"Any sufficiently advanced technology
is indistinguishable from magic."
Doom is actually manipulating quantum fields to create magic!
So if Doom's tech is so good, why does he want your armor?
No offense...
The only thing Doom is missing
is the electrical recovery rate the Iron Man armor has.
After a major attack,
his shields are down for 1.7 seconds.
See? You've built something Doom wants,
that must make him crazy! His ego can't handle it.
What's wrong with the core?
It's draining too much power. We can't shut it down!
Iron Man is tampering with the systems again!
Where is Dr. Doom?
He's gone, sir. Headed back to Latveria.
[sparks crackle]
I have nothing to do with that. I swear!
Let me check something.
[keyboard beeps]
Oh, no!
That power core thing.
It's draining all of the energy from the city. It's...
-What's happening? -Doom is fueling the power core,
turning the entire building into the world's biggest bomb!
According to these readings, it's gonna blow in 4 minutes!
Then what the heck are you waiting for?
[whoosh]
Come on, come on!
[crash, whoosh]
That thing is gonna blow right now. I have to shut it down.
[keyboard beeps]
Argh!
Doom's got everything rigged!
One wrong move and the whole thing blows!
Someone call the guards! Get me O'Brien!
Stane,
we are on the 83rd floor of the biggest bomb ever created,
and we have 40 seconds
before it wipes out the entire Eastern Seaboard!
-I don't believe you! -Then don't, just get out!
SUIT: 15 seconds to detonation.
-Tony, can you break the code? -Let me think, Pepper!
[yells]
Doom's encryption is too good. I can't crack it!
SUIT: Ten seconds to detonation.
-There's no time. -Nine...
-...eight... seven... -I can't stop it!
SUIT: Six seconds to detonation.
I'm gonna try something.
-Five, four... -Everyone get out. Go!
[electrical fizzing]
-IRON MAN: [groans] -PEPPER: What are you doing?
Trying to contain it!
SUIT: ...one...
Full power to force fields!
[explosion]
[screams]
Tony!
I think I broke a bone... in every... part of my body.
The city stands?
Impossible!
Doom never makes mistakes!
[impact sounds]
Bravo. The battle continues.
Easy does it. I'm not gonna let anyone fall.
But I'm not letting you go, Doom!
[engine roars]
[explosion]
My plan to take out my Western tech competition has failed.
And now you will suffer for it.
Doom!
[clang, groaning]
Feel the might of Doom!
[yelling]
[explosions]
[thrumming]
We know it's not magic you're using, Doom.
It's quantum manipulation!
Impressive, but not magic.
Correct. Super Science!
[fizzing]
[screaming]
DOCTOR DOOM: Time to pass on
to another plane of existence.
[screaming]
DOCTOR DOOM: Valiant, but futile.
What? You are but a child!
I'm... man enough to take you down!
Iron Man, relinquish the armor now,
or your friend will suffer for it greatly.
You won't do it, Doom! You were a good man once. I know it!
You know nothing, Iron Man.
Nothing of pain. Nothing of misery.
Oh...
but you will.
I know why you need my specs!
Couldn't figure out the recovery rate without my help, huh?
Insolent worm!
[groans]
You want real power?
This is an alien from the dimension of Dormammu.
Our witless ancestors would have called them demons.
[groans]
DOCTOR DOOM: Do you feel your soul
ebbing away, Iron Man?
Do you feel your very life forces draining?
Do you feel this, Doom?
[groaning]
-Tony! Are you alive? -Well,
if this is heaven, it's kinda lame.
So, did it work? Guess not.
Get outta here, man! Go!
And now... it ends.
No need for your help, Fury. I can handle Doom!
Our guns aren't on Doom, Iron Man.
-They're on you! -What?
Von Doom has diplomatic immunity.
And he's coming with us right now, back to Latveria.
This battle is not over, Iron Man.
We will meet again.
[engines roar]
IRON MAN: You can bet on it.
He built a bomb, Fury.
A giant building bomb.
That's why New York went out like a match.
You got any proof, Shellhead?
Well... not exactly.
But come on, he's Dr. Doom!
Listen, son. We know all about Doom.
Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.
One day Doom'll slip up,
and when he does, SHIELD will be there.
Oh, no... Whitney!
[whoosh]
-Whitney... -Don't say anything, Tony.
It's over between us.
I gave you another chance: dinner.
And you blew me off again.
There's something I want to tell you, Whitney.
I need to tell you.
Yeah? What is it?
I'm...
sorry.
I know I can't make it up to you,
but can we at least stay friends? Please?
Can you be a friend, Tony?
Let me try.
[beeping]
Doom's armor scan just finished rendering!
Whoa! No wonder the armor is so powerful.
His quantum systems are similar to the Makluan Ring designs!
Gene's rings and Doom's armor. How can that be?
HOWARD STARK: It's not magic, Gene.
The rings are an ancient technology of some kind.
And I have my theories where they came from.
Silence, Stark. You're boring me.
Now, go through that door.
The seventh Makluan Ring has to be in there.
Behold, the Seventh Makluan Ring
and its guardian...
the Sunturion.
