==History==
===Kidnapping of Tony Stark===
Tony Stark traveled through the Kunar Province in a Humvee convoy during a business trip to Afghanistan in order to host a demonstration of the Jericho missile for the United States Air Force. He refused to travel in the same Humvee as James Rhodes, and while chatting with the airmen assigned to escort him, the convoy was attacked by members of the Ten Rings terrorist group. The soldiers were killed and while trying to flee, Stark was affected by the explosion of one of his own weapons, causing a large amount of shrapnel to penetrate his Bulletproof Vest and injure him.
While unconscious for the effect of the injuries, he was kidnapped by the Ten Rings. Rhodes arrived at the area five minutes later, but by that time, Tony Stark was already gone.Iron Man: Security Measures
===Alternate Universes===
====Tony Stark's Kidnapping====
In an alternate universe, Tony Stark was driven through Kunar in Humvees. Jimmy Ryan took a picture of Stark and Adam Pratt, but the convoy was suddenly attacked. Pratt ordered Stark to stay in the vehicle and went outside, and Stark watched airmen die and his best friend, James Rhodes, fight. Stark panicked and left the Humvee, taking cover. He got attacked by a grenade, which blew up and nearly killed Stark. Stark was then taken by the Ten Rings to their base.
Rhodes investigated the site of the abduction, and realized that the attack was targeted at Stark. However, General Benson Gabriel remained unconvinced. Rhodes asked to be part of the search for Stark, but Gabriel told him not to despite Rhodes' insistence.Iron Man: Teen Novelization
