Iron Man was an animated television series based on Marvel Comics' superhero Iron Man. The series aired from 1994 to 1996 in syndication as part of The Marvel Action Hour, which packaged Iron Man with another animated series based on Marvel properties, the Fantastic Four, with one half-hour episode from each series airing back-to-back. The show was backed by a toy line that featured many armor variants. Iron Man's origin was changed for this series: rather than shrapnel near his heart, Tony Stark, Iron Man's alter ego, instead had multiple slivers near his spine, threatening paralysis. Also, instead of Wong Chu, Stark and Yisen were held captive by The Mandarin, who had been altered by his rings to have green skin and greater physical strength. Stark's armor on the show was the Mark XI "Modular Armor", which was the armor he was wearing in the comics while the show was being produced. For more details on this topic, see Iron Man's armor. As of 2006, there are currently no plans for a DVD release of the show. This, however may change depending on the success of the planned Iron Man film, as it did with the 2005 Fantastic Four film.
