Ivan gained the upper hand over them and caught them with two electric whips. Rhodes tried to detonate him with a homing missile that Hammer gave him, but the missile did not affect the armor.
But suddenly came Ivan, in a new armor that he had designed and defied Stark. Unfortunately, the Vanko Drones arrived under the dome and surrounded Stark and Rhodes, which, fortunately, easily managed to defeat them. Stark and Rhodes then fought and ended their race in a river in a park under a giant dome, where Rhodes regained control of the equipment after Agent Natasha Romanoff (who penetrated the premises of Hammer Industries in order to disable the remote controls). But Ivan killed his guards, broke out of his room, took the remote control of the drones and the Mk II, and programmed them to kill Stark, who arrived shortly before. But instead of making armor that was requested by Hammer, Ivan instead made many humanoid drones (known as Hammer Drones), which annoyed Hammer, who threatened to eliminate him.įinally, while keeping Ivan under surveillance at the Hammer facility, Hammer presented the drones and a Mark II Armor that was piloted by Lieutenant Colonel James Rhodes at the "Stark Expo", the latter that was previously stolen from Stark on his birthday. Hammer offered a parrot to Ivan in order to convince him to work for him. Following his defeat, Ivan was arrested and sent to jail, but was immediately freed by Justin Hammer, (an industrial competitor of Stark Industries), who wanted Ivan to work for him in order to manufacture armor that was comparable to Tony's and to equip to the US Military, which Stark refused to ally. As he was taken away by the Monaco Police, Ivan told Iron Man that he "lost" the fight, which the Monaco Police then corrected him. At some point, Ivan was arrested at some point for selling nuclear secrets to Pakistan.ĭisguised up as a race track worker after he gained a fake ID from a Ten Rings Agent, Ivan attacked Tony at the Monaco Historic Grand Prix, but was defeated by the superhero armor. Ivan designed an ARC Reactor himself, thanks to the notes that his father left him, and connected it to two electrified whips.
When Anton died, Ivan vowed revenge on the Stark family. Upon Anton's return to Russia, the Soviets punished him for a failed collaboration with the United States and sent him into exile in northern Siberia, where he had to raise Ivan alone. Subsequently, Howard had Anton deported back to Russia. While Howard desired to use the reactor for good, Anton was more interested in selling the technology in order to become rich. In fact, Anton originally collaborated with Howard to design the Arc Reactor which occupied the chest of Tony. Ivan was the son of Anton Vanko, a former Russian physicist who collaborated with Howard Stark, the father of Tony Stark.
