T H E S T O R Y S O F A R... James Rhodes was an outcast. He was bullied for being black from the white kids, and bullied by the black kids who thought he was trying to be better than them by focusing on his education. Really? He just wanted out. As soon as he turned seventeen he enlisted in the Air Force, and never looked back on philadelphia. Leaving his father and sister behind, he entered ROTC with the goal of becoming a pilot. When he was shot down in his first flight he thought it would be the end of his career, if not his life. Instead it changed in ways he could never imagine. As he was trying to repair his helicopter, to atleaast get the radio functioning something metal and ungainly fell from the sky. The missing billionaire inventor and weapons manufacturer, Tony Stark. The very man that then liuetenant Rhodes had been sent to try and locate. The two of them were reluctant to trust eachother at first, but when attacked by henchmen from the rogue technological society A.I.M the two found common ground and worked together. Powering Tonys exo-suit, the two of them battled their way through the jungle before they were eventually found by none other than Director Nicholas Fury senior with S.H.I.E.L.D. Fury stole Rhodes for a secondment to S.H.I.E.L.D, where he and Tony worked on the next generation of armour. The project was dubbed War Machine, and it was revealed just in time for the Reach invasion. S.H.I.E.L.D announced War Machine to the world, Rhodes pilotting the suit. Time would continue onwards, and eventually they would add to their arsenal. Parnell Jacobs, Nathan Manning, Jorge Salsero. All these pilots were vetted and chosen by Stark and Rhodes personally, as that was Starks one stipulation on the use of the technology. They weren't enough though, as humanity continued to lose ground to the reach. Manning and Salsero killed, Jacobs maimed and paralysed. As Superman revealed himself to the world and ended the Reach threat, the War Machine program was shelved when then President Ellis contacted Stark personally. Trying to rebuild American Faith and Strength Rhodes would go on to become the Iron Patriot, much to Furys dismay. Rhodey worked under President Ellis for the remainder of his term, but the tides were changing. Eventually Maxwell Lord became President and everything changed. He wanted more Iron Patriots, he wanted a legion. Tony continued to push back, their contract clearly stated that any and all pilots had to be hand picked. The Government wanted automation, and Tony didn't. Trask, Hammer, Kord all vying to perfect the technology. The two friends became more and more disgruntled as the Iron Patriot was deployed more frequently within Americas borders at sites of 'mutant' or 'meta' unrest. P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) I've always enjoyed War Machine. I enjoy his own stories, he has all the perks of Iron Man without the sociopathic personality. I always enjoy pushing myself and trying to write different stories, and as such I want to get delved into something I haven't. The political thriller. Will update this here with plots as I go forward. My goals? To push myself as a writer, and write stories that we all enjoy. Return of War Machine As Tony Stark announces the cessation of the War Machine project, other powers that be aren't happy. Resulting in explosions and chaos, and the U.S. Government coming after the Iron Patriot. |
