A Stark Industries file and access cards with pairs of newspaper covers with stories about Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) and Sonic Taser earplugs from the production of Jon Favreau's Iron Man. After Tony Stark escaped terrorist captivity by building an Iron Monger suit, he announced that his company would no longer be manufacturing weapons, scandalizing both The Pentagon and Stark Industries manager Obadiah Stane (Jeff Bridges). Stain later used a Sonic Taser to paralyze Raza (Faran Tahir) so that he could take Stark's Iron Monger suit for himself.

This set consists of a file folder labeled "Stark Industries" containing a color photo of Stark Industries' missiles; four acrylic Stark Industries ID passes with metal clasps; a custom color-printed production backup of a The Washington Times newspaper cover headlined "Stark Lunacy Paralyzes Pentagon" alongside a photograph of Stark; a custom color-printed production backup of a The Chronicle cover headlined "Who is the Ironman?" [sic] above a photograph of Iron Man; and a pair of nonfunctional, futuristic plastic and metal earplugs labeled "Starkey" created as production backups. This lot exhibits grime to the earplugs.
