This aged well.. kinda.
Spoilers are a possibility.
So, I put it upon myself to learn more about Iron Man. I decided to review every issue of Iron Man's solo adventures I started with Stark: Disassembled and now I go to the beginning and work my way up.
So here is what happened Stark is amazing with transistors so amazing that he can use them to do anything. Like as a Magnet! Seriously what is Stan Lee's obsession with magnetism? Anyway he gets captured and then is forced to work for Wong - Chu, knowing he is about to die he decides to not really work for them but build an "Iron Man" suit. Also hoping it keeps him alive. Since that would be kind of important to his health. Once we learn all of this Yinsen is introduced, he actually does nothing but inspire Tony since Yinsen was the "GREATEST PHYSICIST OF ALL TIME".. which is odd because Tony says "Well everyone thought you just kind of died." So in any case he must not of been that important. Anyway Wong-Chu's crew goes to check on Tony and Yinsen and Yinsen gets himself killed for Tony. Tony then escapes. Simple stuff right?
So besides some very excusable wonky stuff here and there this is an awesome origin that was done well. 5/5.
