Attack on the Maggia Weapons Caches/A.I.M. Operative Controller

The Attack on the Maggia Weapons Caches was the successful destruction by Iron Man of several weapons caches owned by the Maggia as retaliation for an attack against Stark Industries.
==Background==
Tony Stark was kidnapped by the Ten Rings, but managed to escape custody by building a suit of armor. Stark learned that the Ten Rings had gotten a hold of Stark Industries weapons, so Stark became determined to shut down weapons manufacturing in his company. Stark Industries thus ended their contract with the Maggia.
The Maggia became upset at the end of their contract and decided to attack Stark Industries Headquarters in hopes of stealing Stark Industries weapons. Meanwhile, Stark built an upgraded armor and tested its ability to fly and fight. The Maggia attacked Stark Industries during the test, so Stark used the armor to defeat the attackers. Stark realized that the Maggia only attacked because Stark Industries kept its inventory of weapons at its headquarters, so he decided to destroy the entire inventory and ordered Obadiah Stane to carry out the order. Stark felt guilty and made it his goal to destroy Stark Industries weapons out there. He lied to Pepper Potts about having a business meeting and put on a new armor.Iron Man
==Attack==
Tony Stark had J.A.R.V.I.S. track several Maggia weapons caches and give Stark their locations. Stark flew to the first cache and attacked the soldiers there, who fought back. Stark rescued the Maggia's civilian hostages and destroyed the weapons being hold at the cache. Stark then found a tunnel to another cache. Stark entered the tunnel system and was attacked by several soldiers, who he killed. As he navigated the tunnels, he came across a crate of ammunition which he used to refill his armor. Stark fought through the soldiers which attacked him and found more civilians, who he freed. He destroyed the weapons there and continued moving through the tunnels, where he found and freed more civilians.
Stark destroyed the third cache and asked for confirmation that all the weapons were destroyed, but J.A.R.V.I.S. reported that there was a computer nearby with which J.A.R.V.I.S. could not interface. Stark went to look at it, dismissing J.A.R.V.I.S.' warning that the United States Armed Forces were in the area. Stark tracked the computer to a warehouse full of Maggia weapons, and J.A.R.V.I.S. reported that the transport was in the vicinity. Stark went looking for it, and a large tanked surface and attacked Stark. Stark returned fire and realized that the Maggia were working with the attacker and destroyed the tank.
Stark was discovered by the United States Air Force, who sent two planes after him. Stark refused to fight American soldiers and asked J.A.R.V.I.S. to contact their command center. Stark insisted he was not an enemy while avoiding conflict, and James Rhodes recognized Stark's voice. One of the pilots was forced to eject as his plane spun out of control, but his parachute did not activate. Stark saved the pilot while Rhodes asked how drunk he was an what Stark was doing. The other pilot, Scott Campbell, continued to pursue Stark as he promised to explain, so Rhodes allowed Stark and Campbell to go their separate ways.
==Aftermath==
Tony Stark returned to his mansion, where he found Pepper Potts pleading with Stark not to hurt himself, but Stark refused. James Rhodes also scolded Stark for his involvement, but hesitantly agreed to help keep Stark away from the military. They worked together to track Stark Industries weapons and destroy them, eventually destroying the last of their resources and ending their activity for good.
