Rescue of Pepper Potts/A.I.M. Operative Controller

The Rescue of Pepper Potts was the successful retrieval of Pepper Potts by Tony Stark from Obadiah Stane.
==Background==
Tony Stark was kidnapped by the Ten Rings and brought to their encampment, where he discovered that they used weapons produced by his company, Stark Industries. With help from Ho Yinsen, Stark built a suit of armor that he used to escape the facility and return home. He decided to end weapons development at the company, upsetting Obadiah Stane.
Stark used his resources to build a new armor, which he used to defend Stark Industries Headquarters from an attack by the Maggia, who were attempting to steal the completed weapons which were stored there. Stark ordered Stane to destroy the weapons using a new armor, angering him further. While Stark worked to destroy all the Stark Industries weapons owned by the Maggia, Stane partnered with A.I.M. to recreate the original Iron Man armor. However, A.I.M. struggled to develop a power source, so they attempted to steal one from a Russian nuclear power plant. Stark foiled the robbery, so A.I.M. hijacked a ship owned by the United States Air Force in hopes of taking their power sources, but Stark found out and stopped them.
Stark returned home and worked on the armor, but was attacked by A.I.M. forces led by Boris Bullski. During the attack, Stane contacted Stark and revealed that he had been working with A.I.M. and was behind the attack. Stark defeated Bullski and confronted Stane, who used a taser on him, rendering him unconscious. Stane then had Stark's assistant, Pepper Potts, kidnapped. As Stane fled in the Stark Industries Private Jet, James Rhodes found Stark and woke him up, telling him what had happened to Potts.Iron Man
==Rescue==
Tony Stark rushed to where Pepper Potts was being held and asked James Rhodes to find Obadiah Stane. He came across a dam and broke into its facility to open the gate at the bottom. He entered the research facility through the gate and found A.I.M. forces inside, fighting them. As Stark fought, Rhodes told him about Stane's escape.
Stark came across the main part of the research facility, where Rhodes explained he could not see anything, which J.A.R.V.I.S. explained was due to three EMP Generators in the facility that were interfering with his own systems as well. Stark destroyed the EMP Generators, restoring J.A.R.V.I.S. Potts called Stark and warned him that A.I.M. was using her as bait, but Stark refused to leave. He assured Potts that he would save her and resumed fighting A.I.M. soldiers who were attempting to destroy the facility's main lab. J.A.R.V.I.S. warned Stark of incoming missiles targeting the main reactor, which made Stark realize that Potts was in there. Stark worked to destroy the missiles as Potts called out to him and Rhodes noted that A.I.M. was likely desperate. Stark simply stated that he would kill all of them if anything happened to Potts. J.A.R.V.I.S. found the missile launch system, which Stark then destroyed and told Potts that it was over.
==Aftermath==
James Rhodes wanted to call the United States government to ask for help, but Tony Stark told him not to since it was his responsibility. Stark brought Potts to his workshop, where she insisted that he should not have went after her since she was being used as bait. Stark became even more determined to take A.I.M. down despite Potts concerns about the dangers. Stark targeting A.I.M. while he asked Potts to find what Obadiah Stane was planning.
Stark discovered an island base operated by A.I.M. and attacked the base, destroying their Proton Cannon. Stark then flew to A.I.M. Headquarters and attacked it, defeating A.I.M. once and for all. Meanwhile, Stane kidnapped Potts and finished his Iron Monger Armor, using it to challenge Stark. Stark fought Stane, who led him to Stark Industries Headquarters. Stark tricked Stane into standing over the Arc Reactor while Potts caused it to generate an electromagnetic pulse, short-circuiting the armor and allowing Stark to defeat Stane.
