Iron Man 2, known as Iron Man 2: The Video Game in Europe, is a 2010 video game loosely based on the film of the same name. It was released on May 4, 2010, days after the film's international release and days before the film's domestic release. The game was published by Sega and developed by Secret Level (Xbox 360 & PlayStation 3), High Voltage Software (Wii & PlayStation Portable) and Gameloft (Wireless).
The game features the voices of Don Cheadle and Samuel L. Jackson, reprising their roles from the movie, and Lamb of God recorded an exclusive song for the game, "Hit The Wall." Additionally, the game has an original story written by The Invincible Iron Man scribe Matt Fraction. This story is set after the plot of the movie.
Prologue Trailer[]
At his mansion in Malibu, Tony Stark has James Rhodes make adjustments to his armor and comments that Rhodes makes his stupid robots look like skilled Swiss technicians. The mansion is attacked by robots and Stark and Rhodes suit up to fight against them. Stark discovers a logo for the Roxxon Energy Corporation on one of the robots and deduces that they are initiating a hostile takeover.
At a Roxxon facility in Russia, General Valentin Shatalov is presented the Crimson Dynamo Armor by a scientist. Kearson DeWitt enters the room and displays a hologram of the Stark Archives, telling them that they will find what they are looking for there.
At the Stark Archives, Stark and S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury stand upon the newly airborne Helicarrier, with Stark boasting of fulfilling his promise to make it fly. Fury is informed that Shatalov has gone rogue and makes plans to head for Russia. Stark and Rhodes begin racing back to the mansion.

Plot[]
The game begins with Iron Man defending the Dataspine, an archived version of J.A.R.V.I.S., from attackers. However, an EMP bomb is dropped, disabling Iron Man. Three hours earlier, Tony Stark records a journal message about how he will have to defend the Dataspine. He mentions the Roxxon Energy Corporation, and how they tried to duplicate the Iron Man armor without success. Stark is then interrupted by James Rhodes, who says that there is trouble at Stark Archives. Back in the present, the power reserves in Iron Man's armor activate, and upon recovering, Iron Man learns that Roxxon is behind the attack. He grimly decides that he should destroy the Dataspine to keep Roxxon from getting the archives. Outside, Rhodes, in his War Machine armor, intercepts some Roxxon Dropships.
Iron Man makes contact with S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury, who informs him that separatists under the command of a General Valentin Shatalov have seized control of a Tesla facility. During Iron Man's escorting of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s helicopter forces, they are attacked by a battle platform called the Roxxon Armiger. After destroying it, Iron Man and War Machine head to a battlecruiser and destroy it, learning the Armiger was remote-controlled. They discover that Shatalov is working with the terrorist group Advanced Idea Mechanics to create the Crimson Dynamo suit for him. Upon learning that the suit is being developed at a power plant in Siberia, Fury mentions that he sent Natasha Romanoff, the Black Widow, to spy on the plant.
At the plant, Shatalov makes contact with A.I.M.'s Kearson DeWitt, who tells Shatalov that there is a spy in his ranks and is displeased that he brought S.H.I.E.L.D. to their front door. Shatalov gives orders to prep the Crimson Dynamo armor and then informs his men that their connection with A.I.M. is now severed. Iron Man finds and protects Romanoff from Shatalov's men. A S.H.I.E.L.D. transport is sent to their location, and Natasha is extracted while Iron Man and War Machine battle Shatalov in his Crimson Dynamo armor. The defeated Shatalov reveals that A.I.M. was behind the theft of J.A.R.V.I.S.' AI and planned to use it to create Ultimo.
The team learns that Kearson DeWitt was behind the attack led by Shatalov and that he worked at Stark's Theoretical Weapons Division until Stark shut it down. Aside from DeWitt working on the prototype to the Arc Reactor, Pepper Potts also reveals that he had a secret project called P.R.O.T.E.A.N.. Inside an A.I.M. base, Kearson uses his PROTEAN technology to merge with an enormous metal suit and become Ultimo. With the merge complete, DeWitt has his men upgraded with P.R.O.T.E.A.N. implants. Arriving at the base, War Machine battles P.R.O.T.E.A.N. drones while Iron Man searches for DeWitt. J.A.R.V.I.S. detects Ultimo shortly after the base is secured with help from S.H.I.E.L.D.
Meanwhile, the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier is attacked, and Iron Man protects it from DeWitt's drones. When War Machine defeats an Arc Armiger dropped on the helicarrier, Iron Man decides to reprogram it. Using the reprogrammed Armiger, Iron Man and War Machine assault an A.I.M. Base in Malaysia. When the giant Ultimo arrives at Stark Archives, War Machine disables some of its Arc Reactors while Iron Man fights the DeWitt/Ultimo within. Upon defeating the DeWitt/Ultimo, Iron Man learns that the effects on DeWitt are irreversible. War Machine finishes Ultimo off while the Helicarrier rams into it. Afterward, J.A.R.V.I.S. tells Stark to promise him never to let anyone gain access to his programming again.

Canon Status[]
This game contains several plot points that contradict the established canon of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and it is thus considered non-canon.
A.I.M. appear as a secret weapons and intelligence agency who is frequently in conflict with Iron Man. In Iron Man 3, A.I.M. is a scientific research and development agency funded by the government, and Tony Stark has had no previous encounters with them since meeting Aldrich Killian in Bern, Switzerland on New Year's Eve 1999.[1] | |
Ultimo appears as a massive battle suit that has been fused with the consciousness of Kearson DeWitt. In the iOS and the 3D Java ME versions, Ultimo also appears but is instead a robot created by Justin Hammer using stolen Stark tech. In the canon comic Captain America: Road to War, Ultimo is a giant robot created by HYDRA from the remains and parts of Ultron Sentries destroyed in the Battle of Sokovia and is deployed in Eastern Europe against the Avengers.[2] | |
In the Wii of PlayStation Portable versions, Jack Taggart is a mercenary hired by A.I.M. with a suit of armor similar to those worn by Iron Man and War Machine. In the iOS and Java ME versions, Jack Taggart appears with a similar suit of armor although he is unaffiliated with A.I.M. and created the suit using stolen Stark tech bought from Justin Hammer. In Iron Man 3, Jack Taggart does work for A.I.M. but is not a mercenary nor does he have armor or the alias Firepower, but is instead a former United States Armed Forces soldier who is addicted to Extremis.[1] | |
On the Wii and PlayStation Portable versions, Ghost is an unnamed male professional corporate saboteur who uses a suit that allows him to become invisible, provided that he does not touch liquid. In the Nintendo DS version, he is employed by A.I.M. and his suit allows him to become out of phase with reality. In Ant-Man and the Wasp, Ghost is a female corporate saboteur named Ava Starr.[3] | |
In the iOS and Java ME versions, Whiplash is the leader of the Russian Separatists. In Iron Man 2, Whiplash works alone until he's recruited by Hammer Industries. |
Differences Between Consoles[]
The Playstation Portable and Wii versions contain several differences from the versions on other consoles.
- When Iron Man is rescuing Black Widow in Siberia, he has to free her after she has been captured locked in a cell, while in other versions he has to find her after her cover is blown and get her to an extraction point.
- Pepper Potts travels to Budapest to attend a conference and is captured by A.I.M. forces. Iron Man and War Machine must travel there and rescue her. As Stark brings her to safety, Rhodes is attacked by the mercenary Firepower, who has been hired and sent after them by Kearson DeWitt. Rhodes must then battle Firepower and defeat him.
- During Operation Daybreak, the A.I.M. forces are led by a mercenary called Mauler. He plants several bombs all over the Helicarrier and Stark must deactivate the bombs and defeat him.
- While trying to put an end to Project Greengrid, Rhodes is attacked by a professional corporate saboteur called Ghost. Ghost's suit makes him invisible, and Rhodes must find a way to find his invisible enemy and defeat him.

Non-Canon Bios[]
Iron Man 2 provides a backstory for Jack Taggart that is not compatible with the canon of Iron Man 3 and the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
- "You're outgunned and outmatched. Face it, I just have more firepower."
"But I'm a soldier, you're just a merc. Somehow, I don't see a big payday in your future..."
"Destroying you is the payday. The obscene amount of money I'm getting paid is just the bonus." - ―Firepower and War Machine[src]
Jack Taggart also known as Firepower is a mercenary hired by Kearson DeWitt.
When Pepper Potts was captured by A.I.M. forces while in Budapest to attend a conference, Iron Man and War Machine set out to rescue her. While Stark took her to safety, Rhodes was attacked by Firepower. The two engaged in single combat in which Rhodes defeated Firepower by disabling his suit. Rhodes attempted to make him reveal who his employer was, but Firepower refused. Rhodes had J.A.R.V.I.S. intercept Firepower's transmission relays and trace them back to their source. Rhodes then left him behind to be taken into custody.[4]
Iron Man 2 provides a backstory for Ghost that is not compatible with the canon of Ant-Man and the Wasp and the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
- "...Ghost?"
"Yes, indeed. Certainly an appropriate moniker, don't you think?" - ―War Machine and Ghost[src]
Ghost is the alias used by a professional corporate saboteur.
Biography[]
War Machine encountered Ghost whilst on a mission in Malaysia. Rhodes had difficulty finding his invisible enemy, so J.A.R.V.I.S. informed him that if he could expose Ghost to the storm outside, the rain would reflect off his suit and render him visible. Rhodes then blasted the ceiling open and exposed Ghost, quickly defeating him. Ghost declared that he was a genius and said that he was not allied with Kearson DeWitt. Before departing, he told Rhodes that corporate types such as himself were fools if they could not see that Ultimo would destroy them all.[4]References[]
