Character Summary: The son of a wealthy industrialist, Tony Stark was an inventive mechanical engineering prodigy. He inherited his father's business at age 21, transforming the company, Stark International, into one of the world's leading weapons manufactures. While field-testing a suit of battle armor in Asia Stark was struck in the chest by a piece of shrapnel and taken prisoner by the warlord Wong-Chu. He was ordered to create a weapon of mass destruction - only then would he receive the operation to save his life. Along with fellow prisoner Ho Yinsen, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist, Stark began work on a modified exoskeleton equipped with heavy weaponry. Yinsen designed the armor's breastplate to sustain the industrialist's wounded heart. Stark donned the suit in an attempt to escape captivity. Overcoming the warlord's forces, Stark returned to America and redesigned the suit. Inventing the cover story that Iron Man

was his body guard, he embarked on a double life as a billionaire industrialist and costumed adventurer.

Toys

By the power of GraySkull, I have the power! Does that ring a bell? Well for those of you uninformed about this line, it comes from an animated cartoon called He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. The Mattel comic hero has been an inspiration and idol to many all over the world – kids of course! Toys are a great sense of entertainment and fun for children.

Toys give little toddlers that extra nudge to leap into their own private realm of fantasy. Kids take a lot of passion into playing with toys as they identify and aspire to be like the characters portrayed. Ever witnessed a 5 year old girls tea-party? Well, they do not actually prepare it, although its a piece of their imaginary world that exists. What about the 6 year old boy who gets his Batman and Joker action figures into a heated clash? Its quite a sight! Toys work as an immense source of entertainment and fun for children. Besides that, there is a lot that they learn as well.

Toys play pivotal roles in helping children discover their personalities, adapt to certain situations, learn the essence of relationships and how they work and explore hidden skills and talent. Children use toys as a yardstick by which they measure their own identity. They strive to resemble the toys they adore and gradually create their own distinctive characters. Toys can act as a real stress-buster. Surprised? Its a proven fact that children feel a sense of stress and disappointment as well. Toys are their ticket to a sheer entertainment planet of their own. That would explain why after a scolding, you would see kids running straight to their rooms to play with their toy cars or dolls.

Toys not only prove to be a product of leisure, but also an object of self-enhancement for kids.
