History
Somewhere over the Mediterranean, a terrorist attempts to hijack a Stark Air 797. As luck would have it, Tony Stark happens to be one of the passengers on board. He quickly dons his Iron Man armor, grabs the terrorist and flies through the top of the plane. The terrorist detonates a belt of explosives and dies. Iron Man flies back to the jet and tries to calm the passengers, but they appear to be more afraid of him than the terrorist. Flying away, he grumbles "I need a vacation". Some time later, Tony Stark visits the Stark Casino on the Las Vegas strip. He entertains two attractive female patrons and invites them up into his suite. Across town, the statue of the gold dragon is mounted on the roof of the Golden Dragon Casino. Suddenly, hundreds of lizards begin scurrying across the streets of Vegas. They are all running in the same direction and there does not appear to be any reason for their odd behavior. At the Golden Dragon Casino, the eye pieces on the artifact begin to glow.[1]

Elsa Bloodstone comes to Las Vegas to meet with Tony Stark. She fears that she might inadvertently be responsible for the recent plague of lizards and wants Stark to find out the identity of the man or woman who hired her. Stark is frustrated at disrupting his vacation but agrees to help Elsa. She tells him of the Golden Dragon artifact which she recovered in China and is scheduled to be unveiled at the grand opening of the Golden Dragon Casino. Tony makes arrangements to attend the grand opening. Naturally, he insists that Elsa accompany him as his date. At the gala festival, Elsa uses Tony's Stark 1000 camera to zoom in on the glyphs at the foot of the artifact. Elsa translates the inscription as "He whose limbs shatter mountains and whose back scrapes the sun". Upon hearing the words, Tony now realizes exactly what they are dealing with now.
The dragon statue suddenly grows and comes to life, spreading its wings as it climbs off the pedestal. This is Fin Fang Foom! As guests begin to scramble in a panic, Tony retrieves his Iron Man armor from his briefcase. He has fought this creature once before. Changing into his battlesuit, he flies across the Las Vegas strip where he sees Fin Fang Foom wreaking havoc. The battle is about to begin.[2]Attributes
