Attack on A.I.M.'s Island/A.I.M. Operative Controller

The Attack on A.I.M.'s Island was the first part of Iron Man's mission to destroy A.I.M. completely.
==Background==
Obadiah Stane became frustrated with Tony Stark's decisions to end weapons manufacturing at Stark Industries, so he discovered the first armor he had built and partnered with the organization A.I.M. to reconstruct it. A.I.M. struggled to find a power source, so they attempted to steal nuclear power from a Russian facility, but were stopped by Stark. Stark foiled A.I.M.'s second attempt to steal power, this time from a ship owned by the United States Air Force.
The A.I.M. President contacted Stane and told him that they could not find a power source, upsetting Stane. Stane gave A.I.M. the chance to attack Stark and take the armor, so A.I.M. sent Boris Bullski with several of their forces. During the attack, Stane revealed to Stark that he had been working with A.I.M., upsetting Stark. Stane went to Stark's workshop, where Stark confronted him about his recent business deals. Stane defended his actions and used a taser on Stark, nearly killing him as he took Stark's Arc Reactor and arranged for Pepper Potts to be kidnapped. Stark rescued Potts and became more determined to defeat A.I.M. while Potts investigated Stane.Iron Man
==Attack==
Tony Stark found an island which was an A.I.M. base and flew there as James Rhodes complimented Stark for finding it. Stark analyzed the Proton Cannon which A.I.M. had developed at the island and determined it was too deadly and that he would not have designed it. Stark fought the island's defenses as J.A.R.V.I.S. reported that the cannon was underground and past a force field, advising that Stark destroy the power stations powering the shield. Stark destroyed all three stations as A.I.M. activated the proton cannon. His suit took heavy damage, but Stark continued fighting.
Once the cannon was fully exposed, Stark attacked and destroyed it. Rhodes told Stark that Bruno Horgan had been detected on the island, and J.A.R.V.I.S. reported that Horgan was attempting to blow up the island's power source. Stark defeated Horgan and told Rhodes that A.I.M. had successfully created a power source using Horgan's technology. Rhodes then told Stark that A.I.M. had launched a satellite with a solar collection grid, so Stark left to deal with it.
==Aftermath==
Tony Stark flew to A.I.M. Headquarters and infiltrated the facility while Pepper Potts continued looking for Obadiah Stane. Stark destroyed the mainframe in the facility and killed the guards present. He found the armors which A.I.M. had developed based on his original armor and destroyed them.
Stark then returned to California and tried to convince Stane to stop his quest, but Stane refused and revealed that he had kidnapped Potts. Stark confronted Stane and fought him, where they ended up at Stark Industries Headquarters. Stark and Potts worked together to defeat Stane using the Arc Reactor at Stark Industries Headquarters, and Stark continued helping people as Iron Man.
