WARNING SPOILERS: In "Iron Man 3" Tony Stark must face a terrorist named Mallen that is under the control of Mandarin (played by Ben Kingsley). He steals a military nanoserum that is as powerful as Cap's and can augment human strength of both the villians and our heroes. Stark, under guidance of Captain America, agrees to experience the Extremis Effect to become a cyborg w/o his suit to infiltrate the Mandarin's lair and retrieve the stolen tech. S.H.I.E.L.D. gets more involved this time and sends another agent. Battles ensue and Tony must in the end use a new armor suit- the Mk.VIII along with War Machine wearing the Iron Patriot suit in colors red, white, and blue. End scene features introduction of long-awaited Ant-Man. Submariner was rejected as villian, but may appear in 2014 along with Black Panther.
