THE ORIGIN OF IRON MAN

Many years ago in a war-torn country, billionaire inventor and industrialist Tony Stark was captured by enemy forces along with another professor named Yinsen and forced to build weapons for a terrorist group. In order to escape, Stark and Yinsen built a robotic suit instead of a weapon and used the suit to escape. Yinsen, however, did not escape the camp and sacrificed himself to give Tony a chance to power-up and escape.

Since then, Tony Stark has upgraded the armor time and time again and has even joined a group of other heroes to fight for the good of mankind as the invincible Iron Man!

THE ORIGIN OF STAR FOX

In the far away galaxy known as the Lylat System on the planet Corneria, young Fox McCloud learned that his father James McCloud, leader of the mercenary for-hire group Star Fox, had been captured and murdered by the evil scientist Andross. A few years later, Fox himself took up his father's position as leader of the team and defeated Andross and saved the galaxy from tyranny.

Since then, the Star Fox group which consists of Fox McCloud, Falco Lombardi, Krystal Fox, Peppy Hare, and Slippy Toad are always alert and ready to answer the call for help wherever needed.
