Nick Fury

After Stark's out-of-control behavior results in the Mark II Iron Man armor falling into the hands of the U.S. military, Fury confronts Stark for becoming a problem that he has to deal with. As well as providing information on the background of Ivan Vanko, Fury provides Stark with information and materials from his father, which proves instrumental in finding a replacement power source for his personal arc reactor, as continued use of palladium is slowly killing him. Fury informs Stark that he has been deemed unsuitable for the Avengers Initiative, but offers to recruit his services as a consultant.
