The Marvel Villain You Likely Forgot Riverdale's Mackenzie Gray Played

Originally aired in 2008, "Iron Man: Armored Adventures" arrived just in time to capitalize on the success of the first MCU "Iron Man" movie and the rise in popularity of Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark. The show had its fair share of differences from the films, aging Tony, Rhodey, and Pepper down to teenagers, presumably to make the cartoon more relatable to kids. That, however, did little to change Mackenzie Gray's role as Obadiah Stane, the Iron Monger.

Stane was, of course, also the villain of the first "Iron Man" movie, where he is played by Jeff Bridges. In that film, Stane looks to take over Stark Industries from Tony so that he can continue to manufacture weapons and sell the Iron Man suit. In "Armored Adventures," the character's motives haven't changed very much, though in this universe he is already named CEO since Tony is too young to run Stark Industries. He also has a sympathetic side in the love he has for his daughter, Whitney. He eventually meets his end when he falls from Stark tower in his Iron Monger suit, falling into a coma that he never wakes up from. However, "Iron Man: Armored Adventures" is but the least of Gray's superhero media appearances.
