Tony Stark, who had secretly become the superhero named Iron Man, offered Rhodes a job as his personal pilot, and Rhodes soon became one of Stark’s closest associates and confidants as well as Stark Industries’ chief aviation officer. As a result, he had numerous adventures with his employer where his daring and skills were valuable assets.
The two men worked together on many occasions, Rhodes even risking his life and his career to aid Stark during the Armor Wars, when Iron Man discovered that his technology had been stolen and sold to various armoured villains.
