Iron Man Anime Series

Tony Stark arrives in Japan with the aim of setting up the Arc Station in the first step in his World Peace Initiative. In front of all of Japan, he announces his new Iron Man model, Iron Man Dio, with himself in the pilot's seat. But during the demo, Dio crashes after a mysterious bug in the operating system. Later at Lab 23, the Dio armor takes over it's human pilot and begins to attack the facility. Tony is forced to pull his original Iron Man armor out of retirement and chase after Dio, but before he can catch his breath, the Zodiac warrior Mech Scorpio appears.

Tony Stark is accused by Defense Minister Kuroda of trying to avoid controversy by sneaking plutonium into Japan aboard an undefended cargo ship. This ship has been attacked and the plutonium stolen, posing a grave threat. Suspecting that he's been set up, Tony dons the Iron Man armor and vows to retrieve the plutonium and clear his name. He tracks down the stolen nuclear material and discovers that Zodiac, a terrorist group associated with Advanced Idea Mechanics (A.I.M.), is behind the theft. Reporter Nanami Ota gets caught up in the chase and nearly killed, attempting to get Tony's attention. Iron Man ultimately defeats the Zodiac warrior, Cancer, and retrieves the plutonium while Nanami finally gets to write her first story on Tony Stark.

Nanami is trying to get to the bottom of the rash of freak hurricanes that have killed two notable scientists. Her search takes her to Professor Sakamoto, and his former student, Dr. Tanaka.

Is the Tesla project a part of the weird weather attacking Japan, and even if they figure that out, how do they stop it? Can Iron Man defeat the weather?

Tony Stark is backing a charity racing event in order to burnish the image of Stark Industries.

Meanwhile, Kawashima, a race car driver who's suffered career-threatening injuries, is won over by A.I.M./Zodiac who promise him they will heal his injuries if he takes out Tony Stark. When Tony makes an appearance at the race track, Kawashima tries to kill him with a test car but Logan, the mutant X-Man known as Wolverine, shows up in just in the nick of time to save him. Later, Logan gives Tony some info on A.I.M and together, they track Kawashima down and find him operating the Zodiac killer Mech, Taurus. After Iron Man frees him, the rogue Dio arrives and Iron Man must due battle with his own creation, wondering all the while who it could be in the armor.
