When Stane builds duplicates of the Iron Man armors called the Guardsmen (consisting of Force and Shockwave), Tony must reveal they are frauds. But, this causes the civilians to start hating Tony. Later that week, Obadiah Stane holds the Stark International Guardsmen Expo where he will reveal the Firepower armor. Pepper finds out the identities of Force and Shockwave, revealing they are criminals. Tony reveals this to the world, and with the help of Rhodey defeats Force and Shockwave. Obadiah makes up a lie on television that Force and Shockwave made up fake identities to get jobs at Stark International in order to use the armors. Stane then goes to the scientists in charge, handing over data on how to work out the bugs in the Iron Monger project armor.
