Iron Man (1996)

The Prometheus Armor prototype overloads during a field test, leaving its pilot, Rebel, critically injured. The incident triggers a federal investigation into Tony Stark, resulting in charges of corporate espionage. A swift legal battle clears his name, but the public damage is done. A tense confrontation with Pepper Potts ends with her resignation, leaving Stark Industries to manage the fallout alone. With his personal and professional circles fractured, Tony Stark retreats to his Malibu workshop, the scent of ozone and scorched metal lingering in the air.
