"Iron Man: Armored Adventures" launches Marvel's newly crowned box-office king Tony Stark on to the small screen, and in 2009, the first 26 animated episodes will begin airing on Nicktoons.

Tony Stark, heir to a billion-dollar corporation, lives a life of luxury, free to pursue his chief interests—seeing extreme thrills, solving scientific mysteries, and creating mind-boggling inventions.

But everything goes horribly wrong when a tragic accident robs Tony of his father and nearly costs him his own life. Now dependent on his own amazing technology for survival and dedicated to battling corruption, Tony must reconcile the pressure of teenage life with the duties of a super hero.

Inside his remarkable invention, Tony Stark is geared for high-speed flight, high-tech battles and high-octane adventure! He is IRON MAN!

Although, we are still months away from its Nicktoons television début, you can be the first to see an episode of "Iron Man: Armored Adventures" at the San Diego Comic-Con.

They are making Tony Stark into a kid. They are making it stupid.

*ahem*

Is this where I jump in and mention that Ultimate Iron Man, written by Orson Scott Card, was mostly about Tony Stark as a kid and teenager and was well-written and generally got good reviews? Because if this is where I jump in and say that, just assume I did.
