I am Iron Man
After Logan vanished through the portal, Tony lay on the ground, his armor battered and sparking from the brutal fight with Stane. The sudden appearance of a man who shrugged off heavy weaponry like it was nothing left Tony in a state of shock.
For a moment, he just stared at the spot where Logan had stood. "What the hell was that?" Tony muttered to himself, struggling to get to his feet. Inside His helmet , his face is a mixture of disbelief and amazement.
As he finally managed to stand, Tony couldn't help but replay the scene inside the helmet. The way the man had walked through gunfire, torn Stane's armor apart like it was made of paper, and then casually decapitated the man—if that was even what you could call him anymore—with those metal claws... it was beyond anything Tony had ever seen.
"Jarvis, who the hell was that?" Tony asked, still trying to identify him.
"Identifying the individual, sir," Jarvis replied, scanning through all available databases and records.
After a few moments, Jarvis spoke again. "The individual appears to match records for a man named James Logan Howlett."
Tony frowned, recognizing the name but not the context. "James Logan Howlett... Why does that sound familiar? What's his story, Jarvis?"
"James Logan Howlett, also known as Logan, is the sole owner of Logan Enterprises. He has been reported in various historical records dating back several decades. There are also unconfirmed reports linking him to unusual incidents involving highly enhanced abilities, often associated with a mercenary group called the Crescent Pack. He is also involved in your rescue mission with colonel Rhodes, sir"
Tony absorbed the information, he let out a slow breath, realizing he had just crossed paths with someone very interesting. "Logan, huh? We need to dig deeper into this, Jarvis. I want to know everything there is to know about him."
"Noted, sir. I'll begin compiling all available data."

Tony then looked at the headless corpse of Stane. Despite everything, he had once viewed Obadiah as a father figure. Now, seeing him lifeless and destroyed by a man who walked through the chaos like it was nothing left Tony with a bitter taste in his mouth.
Returning to the wreckage of his armor, Tony reflected on the whirlwind of events that had brought him here.
Just a month ago, after his harrowing escape from captivity in Afghanistan, Tony had stood before the world and announced he was shutting down Stark Industries' weapons division.
The declaration had sent shockwaves through the business world, causing Stark Industries' stock to plummet, but Tony didn't care. His experience in the cave had changed him; he couldn't continue to profit from instruments of death.
Pepper had been supportive from the start, standing by his side and believing in his vision that they could transition the company to something better.
Obadiah Stane, on the other hand, had been less enthusiastic. He had tried to reason with Tony, to convince him that they needed to think pragmatically about the future of the company. But Tony had been adamant. He had shared his plans with Obadiah, even showing him the early designs of the armor he had built to escape the terrorists—the Mark I. That was a terrible mistake on his part.
At the time, Tony still trusted Stane, despite the nagging doubts that had started to creep in.
But as he continued to work on refining his armor, creating the sleeker, more advanced Mark II, he began to uncover disturbing truths in Gulmira.
when he dons his enhanced Mark III suit and flies to Gulmira, he witnesses the destruction caused by the very weapons his company produced. His firsthand experience of seeing his technology used for terror and oppression is a turning point for him.
He intervenes by destroying the weapons and defeating the terrorists, liberating the village.
On his way back to the U.S., he has an encounter with the Air Force, where two F-22 Raptor jets are scrambled to intercept what they believe is an unknown hostile aircraft.
This leads to a high-stakes chase and a mid-air rescue when one of the jets is damaged. He ultimately reveals his identity to his friend, Lieutenant Colonel James Rhodes, during this encounter, marking another step in his evolution from arms dealer to superhero.
Afterward, Pepper found evidence that Stane was still selling weapons under the table, dealing with both sides of conflicts to maximize profit.
In a final bid to bring down Stane, Tony had sent Pepper to retrieve the data from Stark Industries' servers, the truth stuck them very hard. Tony's world came crashing down as he realized the man he had trusted was not only behind his abduction but had been orchestrating events from the shadows for years.
Later Stane sneaked into his house and used the device he invented, the device effectively disrupts the electrical impulses in Tony's body, rendering him immobile. He stole the arc reactor and left the place.
Only with the help of Rhoddy who came after pepper called him, he survived.
Stane then unleashed the Iron Monger suit, a monstrous version of Tony's own design, to kill him and take control of the company.
Tony fought him in his Mark lll armour, leading to the deadly confrontation. The battle had been brutal, with Tony barely holding his own against Stane's superior firepower and the suit's overwhelming strength.
Until this guy came and killed Obadiah, he looked at his body one last time and flew away but not before destroying the mini arc reactor from the fallan armour.

Tony flew to Pepper's location near the arc reactor, where she had been under the protection of some agents.
"How are you holding up?" Tony asked, his voice softening as he saw the worry etched on her face as his helmet opened.
"I'm fine, Tony. How about you?" Pepper asked, her concern evident.
"I'm still in one piece," Tony replied with a weary smile. He turned to the SHIELD agents, who were securing the area. "You guys got this?"
Agent Coulson, standing nearby, nodded. "We'll handle the cleanup, Mr. Stark. You should get some rest."
Tony nodded and turned back to Pepper, offering her a small, reassuring smile. "Let's get out of here."
He took her and fly away to his place to remove this Armour and get some rest.
Along the way, Tony couldn't help but think about logan who had appeared out of nowhere and changed everything in an instant.
Logan's intervention had saved his life, but it had also opened up a whole new set of questions.

Coulson and his team are cleaning up the area the fight took place.
He received a call on his comms suddenly.
Coulson:[Answering the comms]"Coulson here."
Fury:[Voice stern] Phil, I just reviewed the footage you sent. Logan's abilities have definitely evolved since our last intel. His metal claws—this is a pressing issue."
Coulson:"Yes, Director. Logan's claws, made of some metal, are a significant concern. The way he cut through Stane's armor like it was paper is unsettling. And from the footage, he ignored all the bullets and missiles coming at him, and the metal claws are new. This guy's is becoming more powerful as days went by."
Fury:"I agree. We need to get a better handle on who we're dealing with. I'll bring Natasha back from her mission. Given her history with Logan and the Crescent Pack, she might provide valuable insight."
Coulson:"That's a good call, Sir. Natasha might know more about his background and intentions. What's the plan once she's back?"
Fury: "I want to have a face-to-face conversation with Logan. We need to understand his motivations and assess whether he's a threat or if he can be brought into our fold. This guy's too powerful and influential to ignore anymore."
Coulson: "Understood."
Fury:"Good. Keep me posted on any developments. We can't afford to let this situation get out of hand."
Coulson:"Will do, Director. Coulson out."

Next day, Tony Stark stands before a room full of reporters and government officials, ready to address the events surrounding his recent heroic exploits.
The room is abuzz with speculation, particularly about the mysterious "Iron Man" who had been spotted in action.
Stane incident has been handled quietly as he is killed in the fight between two robots.
Logan's presence in the scene has been completed removed from the scene to avoid unwanted attention and all the footage was also deleted except the one in S.H.I.E.L.D database.
S.H.I.E.L.D. also has provided Tony with a carefully crafted alibi, crediting the "Iron Man" persona to his personal bodyguard.
Tony, however, is uneasy with the fabricated story.
As he stands at the podium, surrounded by flashing cameras and expectant faces, he begins reading the prepared statement. But halfway through, he hesitates.
He's never been one to shy away from the spotlight, and the idea of hiding behind a lie feels wrong.
Tony glances at his friend Rhoddy and Pepper, who gives him a subtle nod of encouragement. He then looks back at the gathered crowd, a small, almost mischievous smile playing on his lips.
"The truth is…" he begins, pausing for dramatic effect. The room falls silent, every eye on him. "I am Iron Man."
The room erupts in chaos. Reporters shout questions, cameras flash furiously, and the world is left reeling from Tony Stark's bold revelation. But Tony? He simply smiled back, unfazed, embracing the truth and the new chapter that has just begun.
