** The only reason Fury spends the bulk of the movie chasing Iron Man is that he needs to have a debriefing with Stark to get the facts of the terrorist attack. Tony would have saved himself ''a lot'' of problems if he'd debriefed Fury before impatiently jetting off to chase down Technovore.

'''''Iron Man: Rise of Technovore''''' is a 2013 {{Anime}} film produced in collaboration by Sony Pictures Entertainment and Japanese animation studio Creator/{{Madhouse}}, who previously handled the Anime/MarvelAnime line. Based on the venerable ComicBook/IronMan comic book franchise, the film sees Tony Stark on the run from ComicBook/{{SHIELD}} after he is framed for a terrorist attack by Ezekiel Stane, the son of his deceased former nemesis Obadiah Stane. The movie features appearances from Iron Man's partner ComicBook/WarMachine, as well as ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}}, ComicBook/BlackWidow, ComicBook/NickFury, and ComicBook/ThePunisher.

The film was released as a tie-in to the live-action ''Film/IronMan3'', and as such takes some inspiration from the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse.

* ActionGirl: Black Widow
* AdaptationDistillation
** Just going by the trailer, the film takes inspiration from the modern ''Iron Man'' comics, as well as the UltimateMarvel universe and the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse.

Later, after fighting Iron Man and War Machine, he envolved into a [[spoiler:full-blown EldritchAbomination made of nano-technology]].
