History: History:
James Rupert Rhodes, from the South Philadelphia section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was a lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps who served tours of duty in Southeast Asia. A combat pilot, he was stranded in the jungle behind enemy lines after his helicopter was shot down by Viet Cong rocket fire. He encounters Iron Man, who escaped from Wong-Chu's prison camp in his prototype suit of powered armor, for the first time. Defeating the Viet Cong soldiers that ambushed them, Rhodes and Iron Man discovered an enemy rocket base that was the origin of the rocket fire that grounded Rhodes in the first place. Destroying the base with a stolen Viet Cong helicopter, Rhodes and Iron Man flew the helicopter back to the American defense perimeter. At the base hospital in Saigon, Stark arrives in person to thank Rhodes for helping Iron Man and to offer Rhodes a job as his personal pilot. After the Vietnam War was over and after taking several career paths including mercenary work, Rhodes finally took Stark's offer and became Stark's personal pilot, chief aviation engineer for Stark International, and one of Stark's closest friends.

"Next time guys, we should just
rebuild this place outta Lego."

Writing Sample:

Lights blinked in my face as the sensors scanned the second truck to drive into the building. For two days I have watched this warehouse in Oakland. "Great RPGs, I hate RPGs." Snorted Rhodey as the scan showed what was hidden in the rundown Uhaul truck entering the building.
"Better do this before they get those unloaded." He stood as the jets in his boots kicked on propelling him quickly to the skylight on the roof.

Plan: Drop in, put a missile into both of the trucks that drove in plus any others spotted, set fire to the ammo cases, and destroy the support beams the the building.


Glass shatters as i breached the roof and lands solidly on the ground. Three men are pointing rifles at me and forth pointing an RPG in my direction. They look startled but they must have known i was coming. The RPG fires, i duck it letting it bury itself into one of my target trucks. I look at the one who fired it. "I hate RPGs."

"I'm through talking, get out of my cave,"
