History
As a devoted agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., Tony Stark once had a secret tryst with Madame Cat, a member of the nefarious terrorist organization known as Hydra and the daughter of the Green Skull. During his affair with Madame Cat, Tony Stark smuggled out a jetpack prototype originally developed by the Green Skull to mimic Super-Soldier's flying power. The prototype was perfected by Tony Stark's expert tinkering, mass-produced, and is currently used by special S.H.I.E.L.D. operatives. Madame Cat's allegiance to Hydra and Tony Stark's devotion to S.H.I.E.L.D. eventually drove the two star-crossed lovers apart.
Tony Stark was crippled in his service to S.H.I.E.L.D., yet another casualty in the war between Bruce Wayne and Green Skull.
Having finally located the secret location of the Green Skull's secret fortress, the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier hovered above Hydra Base Omega. As S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Bruce Wayne prepared himself to lead a full-scale assault on Hydra Base Omega, Tony Stark, confined to his support chair, briefed Bruce Wayne on the use of his jetpack. Bruce Wayne accused Tony Stark of sounding like a "mother hen" and reminded Stark that he had almost one hundred hours training on the jetpack. But Tony Stark responded that the training sessions were not in combat conditions. Colonel Bruce Wayne promised Tony that he would bring the jetpack back in one piece.
As he was leaving for combat, Bruce Wayne told Tony Stark that he wished he could come with him. Tony responded that he wished he could come as well -- and that it might be possible someday because he was currently working on a device at Stark Labs that might finally allow him to get up from his souped-up support chair.Attributes
