He could get hurt in a fight against a powerful new villain. Maybe the villain has some sort of energy weapon that can penetrate Iron Man's suit defenses.

2. [Revenge for My Brother: This complete novel can be exempted from reading on the complete god website.]

Please note that the novels recommended above may only partially satisfy the revenge plot of the injured brother. There are other possible choices.
Pepper could be kidnapped and tortured by one of Iron Man's enemies. This would drive Iron Man into a frenzy to rescue her. He would use his suit's advanced tracking capabilities to find her location. Once he does, he'd have to fight through hordes of bad guys to get to her. After rescuing her, he might become more protective and even consider retiring from his superhero duties.
There are many speculations about the man in the iron mask. One theory is that he was an illegitimate son of Louis XIV.

In the story, the man in the iron mask was a mysterious prisoner. His identity was kept secret, and he was forced to wear an iron mask all the time to conceal his face.
Iron Man's origin in the comics involves Tony Stark getting captured and using his engineering skills to create the first Iron Man suit to escape. After that, he continued to improve and develop the technology to become the hero we know.
