### Information

United States Marine pilot Jim Rhodes' helicopter was disabled by an enemy rocket. Landing the chopper safely, he was attempting repairs when a strange armored man came crashing through the jungle. At first skeptical of the strange Iron Man, Rhodes was convinced he was on the side of the United States when he fought off a platoon of enemy troops.

Allowing Iron Man to drain the downed helicopters batteries for power, the pilot and Iron Man trekked through the jungle until they discovered a hidden enemy rocket base. Stealing a helicopter and destroying the base, they flew to an American base.

Tony Stark offered Rhodes a job as a pilot when his tour of duty expired. After a few years back from the war, Rhodes contacted Stark and was hired as his personal pilot, bodyguard and chief aviation engineer.

When personal problems and alcoholism rendered Tony Stark useless as Iron Man, Rhodes was forced to don the armor to defend Stark International from the criminal Magma. Stark insisted Rhodes take fulltime responsibility as Iron Man until he could recover from his alcoholism.

Rhodes would serve as Iron Man until the armor began to cause medical problems. He would later return to service with a new more lethal armor, designed specifically for him, known as the War Machine.

### Information

After A.I.M. stole a fleet of Iron Patriot Drones, the drones' low-level A.I. was grown considerably, creating a sentient army which A.I.M. used to incriminate the United States in numerous international attacks.

S.H.I.E.L.D. Intel came to the conclusion the androids could be reasoned with, and agent Phil Coulson asked Rhodey to talk to them, as he had experience and military training. Using holographic communication, S.H.I.E.L.D. hacked into A.I.M.'s network and allowed Rhodes to talk to the suits, who recognized him as "the Pilot", and Tony Stark as "the Maker". Rhodey managed to make the Iron Patriot army understand their actions of abruptly attacking tactical points of enemies of the US were unacceptable, and stated he could teach them better if he could just show them, for what the androids sent Rhodes a different version of the Iron Patriot Mark II Armor.

## Information

On a mission he was blasted out of the sky by enemy rockets, Rhodey managed to land in one piece and was attempting to get his craft airworthy when inventor  Tony Stark, clad in his Iron Man Armor, happened to be passing by. Stark had just completed his original armor, had avenged his fellow prisoner Professor Yinsen, and was trying to make his way to the American defense perimeter. Attacked by enemies, Iron Man proved to Rhodey they were on the same side, and Rhodes allowed him to drain the helicopter's batteries to recharge his armor. The two then trekked through the jungle together, finally discovering a hidden enemy rocket base. Stealing an enemy helicopter, they destroyed the base, and flew to the nearest American encampment. Before leaving Afghanistan for the United States, Stark offered Rhodes a job as a pilot as soon as his military stint was over. Rhodey initially declined.

After a succession of other jobs, Rhodey finally accepted Stark's offer and became his personal pilot and chief aviation engineer. While working at Stark Industries, Rhodey aided Iron Man in his battles against many foes.
