Iron Man's background:

After Henry Pym's career as the heroic Ant-Man failed, he decided to return to science. However, he still wanted to help people so he began to build his own superhero, modeled after himself. He gave the "Iron Man" a copy of his brainwaves, as well as an array of weapons. When Iron Man was activated, he at first acted as Henry's assistant, to prove he was functional. After he passed that test, it was time for the field. Iron Man saved several people from a burning building, along with Captain America. Cap and another Avenger, Ms. Marvel, approached Henry, asking him if he would want Iron man to join the Avengers. He accepted and both of them went with, Henry acting as their overseeing eye. However, one day Avengers mansion was attacked by the Red Skull and Henry was killed. Iron Man swore to avenge his father, no matter what it took.
