History
Young Obadiah Stane witnessed his drunkard gambling father commit suicide by playing Russian roulette, and the the orphaned Stane went prematurely bald at the age of eight, and became extremely introverted and interested in games, determining to never lose at “the game of life,” and would use psychological warfare on his opponents, crushing whatever they held dear. Using these unorthodox methods, Stane took over an industrialist’s company and soon amassed quite a fortune. Eventually, Stane would also deal in munitions arms trading and other shady dealings, creating the Chessmen as his team of bodyguards.
Stane went up against Tony Stark when Stane tried to form a coalition of Asian, European, and American industries in defiance of anti-trust laws. Stane then saw Stark as his primary rival, and Stane began a systematic “battle” against Stark’s life, including attmepts on Jim Rhodes’ life and reinforcing Stark’s alcohol problem. Stane soon bought Stark International out, renaming it Stane International and kicking Stark out, who was forced, with Rhodes, to destroy the Iron Man armors. Soon, Stane rendered Stark penniless. While Stark eventually built his life again, Stane fell in love with Madame Masque, Iron Man’s villain and leader of the Maggia crime family. During this time, Stane realized that Iron Man was actually Stark.
Stane again tried to crush his enemy, kidnapping his former friends, switching the minds of Madame Masque and Bethany Cabe (Stark’s girlfriend,) and attempting to destroy his new company, Circuits Maximus, while discovering secrets of Iron Man armor design and having scientists duplicate the process. All of this made Stark take up the Iron Man identity full time after a long sabbatical, and confronted Stane International, confronting the Chessmen. Soon, Stane, in his new Iron Monger armor, confronted Iron Man. When Iron Man got the better of him, Stane removed his helmet and committed suicide with a blast from his own gauntlet.
Stane International lived on, and even the Iron Monger armor, which somehow fell into the possession of industrialist Simon Steele, who used a hired goon in the armor to attack retired adventurer Dominic Fortune, but was stopped by Iron Man. Again under circumstances to be revealed, the armor wound up in the possession of the US government, and had a loyal soldier assigned to it. One such assignment had it used to test the new Captain America, now known as USAgent.
