War Machine

War Machine
Under pressure by the United States Government to convince Tony Stark to hand over his Iron Man armor, Rhodes stayed loyal to Stark while taking the heat from his superiors. At Tony Stark's birthday party, an intoxicated Stark in the Iron Man suit proceeds to target & shoot various objects endangering the lives of all his guests. Rhodes was forced to don the Iron Man Mark II armor to fight Stark, wrecking Stark's home in the process, and took the Mark II armor. The Mark II is upgraded into the heavily armed War Machine armor and is taken by Rhodes for a demonstration at the Stark Expo. However his armor was under the control of Ivan Vanko and Rhodes was forced to fight Stark. After a brief fight, he managed to regain control over his armor again thanks to S.H.I.E.L.D agent Black Widow and he teamed with Stark to defeat Hammer's drones and Vanko himself.
