- "I'm not the problem here. It's the Maggia. They're the ones supplying criminals with weapons."
"No, the problem, Tony, is you're fighting a war and you're not a soldier!"
"You're damn right I'm not! I'm an army, and I don't care how rich Maggia made me. I'm gonna bury them." - ―Tony Stark and James Rhodes[src]
Maggia was a weapons manufacturing company in contract with Stark Industries.
History[]
When Tony Stark decided that he would no longer produce weapons when he found Mickey on the street selling Stark Industries weapons. Iron Man soon plowed through the facility, discovering their four factories that they had built in the past year.[1] Later, the Maggia received a phone call from Pepper Potts cancelling their contract. The next evening when Stark was taking the Mark II Armor for a flight test, Maggia soldiers and tanks attacked the Stark Industries Headquarters and attempted to steal the weapons. Stark fought the attackers and defeated them, destroying bombs they planted and a gunship they hijacked. During this time, the Maggia also began attacking A.I.M.
Stark then set out to destroy the weapons created by his company. He traveled to Afghanistan, where he found the Maggia selling Stark weapons to the Ten Rings. Stark attacked the weapons caches and destroyed the Stark Industries crates, before battling an enhanced tank. He was then spotted by James Rhodes in his and identified himself. With Rhodes' help, he pinpointed the location of an underground armory. J.A.R.V.I.S. alerted him of a transport vehicle, which Stark began pursuing. Stark recognised the Maggia commander as Marc Scarlotti, a former Stark Industries employee. Stark followed Scarlotti into the armory and the two engage in an intense battle, with Scarlotti proving a difficult enemy to defeat due to having augmented himself with synthetic muscles and enhanced hand mounted gauntlets with fingertips that could extend to become ten separate electrically charged whips. Once Stark had defeated Scarlotti, he blew up the armory as he departed.
The Nefaria Compound
Stark them traveled to the Maggia's main headquarters; the Nefaria Compound. The compound was under the command of his former lover Whitney Nefaria, who launched several Prometheus Missiles at nearby populated areas. Stark chased down the missiles and destroyed them before they could reach their targets. He then destroyed each of the compound's bunkers in a hunt for Nefaria, but did not find her. He then entered the compound and fought his way through soldiers and formidable weapons as he made his way towards the main control room. J.A.R.V.I.S. informed Stark that Maggia was due to purchase a Flying Fortress in the near future. As he neared the control room, Nefaria and her troops came at him with everything they had. He defeated the troops and blasted his way through into the control room, causing the wall to collapse and kill Nefaria.
The Flying Fortress falls into the ocean
Without the profits to be made from selling weapons, Maggia were forced into bankruptcy. However, once Stark destroyed the compound, he discovered the flying fortress overhead. He depowered its shields, destroyed its weapons and disrupted it's generators, causing a power surge. This caused it to fall from the sky and plummet into the ocean, ending the threat of Maggia once and for all.[2]
