Iron Man Armored Adventures Episode 42 Extremis Review

I did find this episode to be a quite the spectacle even if it is a retread of a very old and somewhat tired plot. SHIELD in their infinite wisdom, tries to reproduce the Super Solider Serum that created Captain America. That never turns out well, especially when a crazed agent decides to take it and go on a rampage, with his revenge on Fury evident.

He seems bent on proving that he is the best SHIELD Agent Alive or just bent period, so he goes head to head with Iron Man and nearly takes him out. SHIELD manages to rescue Iron Man, and it turns out that Fury did suspect that Tony Stark and Iron Man were one and the same. Well yeah, he does know these things. But it appears that Iron Man’s days are over, as we see Captain America in stasis but SHIELD has not figured out a way to get him out of his frozen state. Yet. Foreshadowing of an episode to come, please.

Tony gets the bright idea to inject himself with the Extremis serum, which fixes his heart and also gives him the ability to communicate with machines. Not too sure I like Iron Man having super powers to that extent but let’s roll with it. Another great battle with Extremis in fact the fight scenes in this episode were top of the line in the sense they were a spectacle. Extremis is beaten.

I did enjoy Tony’s line about needing to upgrade the SHIELD security systems and the slightest reference to the Avengers.

And the fact Maria Hill has a Russian accent and the Black Widow doesn’t…that kind of does amuse me come to think about it.

Overall not a bad episode mind you but not a very deep one. 6.5/10 for this one. You can watch Iron Man Armored Adventures Episode 42 Extremis on the Iron Man Armored Adventures Section of the Nicktoons website legally, among other places that I’m not allowed to talk about…not so legally.
