|The first installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe stars Robert Downey, Jr., as comic book hero Tony Stark, an initially unsympathetic, billionaire weapons developer with hedonistic habits such as alcoholism, extramarital sex, gambling, and drug use. A theme of redemption then follows when, on a tour in the Middle East, Stark is almost mortally wounded by the evil Islamic terrorist group the Ten Rings, inspiring Stark to turn his life around and build weapons for just causes, not solely for making money. Though he considers giving up weapons development altogether, Stark decides to stand by his Second Amendment rights and builds his first electromechanical suit of armor to escape the Ten Rings upon realizing that his supposed friend Obadiah Stane has been issuing guns to the terrorists behind his back. Overall, ''Iron Man'' teaches that capitalism and the military can be used for good. That being said, the aforementioned revelation that Obadiah Stane had been issuing weapons to the Ten Rings as well as orchestrating Stark's abduction by them earlier could be interpreted as subtle anti-War on Terror messaging.
