At the end of the first Iron Man story, Tony reveals who he is. That’s quite a twist. As is the custom of governments, they want Tony’s technology. According to the US security policy, the Iron Man technology is too dangerous if it falls into the hands of other criminals if it is not under the government’s control, so they summon Tony to Congress and ask for the Iron Man technology.
In other words, the Hammer company is the mastermind behind this. There are many companies all over the world that are trying to copy Tony’s technology. Including Hammer. Stark and Hammer are like Apple and Samsung. Hammer is always behind what Stark has invented and is always behind. (Samsung fans are here 😛)
So they shake hands with their own congressman and ask for it. When they get it, they study the Iron Man suit and steal their technology. But Tony hacks and shows them that they are behind them and stealing Iron Man technology, so the plan fails.
