Sonic Taser

The Sonic Taser is a hand-held, non-lethal, anti-personel weapon developed by Stark Industries. It is desgined to incapacitate an enemy by paralyzing them through exposure to a specific sonic frequency. It is one of Obadiah Stane's favorite items and one he carries on his person in most situations.

History
The sonic taser technology was developed by Stark Industris sometime in the years before Tony Stark's capture in Afganistan. The technology itself was dissapproved by the government and never endorsed for production, but Obdiah decided to hold on to a fucntioning model for his own immoral use.

Durring a trip to Afganistan to meet with Ten Rings leader Raza, after they failed to assassinate Tony Stark according to their deal, Raza begins to negotaiate with Obadiah to give him Tony Stark's prototype armor in exchance for giving Raza an army of similarly armored soldiers in return once the suit has been reversed engineered. However, Obadiah uses his sonic taser to paralyze Raza and taunt him before ordering his group of hired mercenaries to take the prototype armor and kill the rest of the Ten Rings group present.

Obadiah once again used the sonic taser to paralyze Tony Stark and steal the Arc Reactor reactor from his chest in order to power Obadiah's new Iron Monger Armor. After taunting Tony, Obadiah leaves him to die slowly as the shrpanel is free to move through his paralyzed body. However, Tony is just barely able to move enough to reach a replacement arc reactor in time.

Capabilities
The sonic taser is designed to be a small hand-held device capable of fitting in one's pocket and appearing inconspicious. It also comes with a special pair of ear pieces designed to filter out the sonic frequency so that the user is not affected when using the device.

The device delivers a high pitched sonic frequency that attacks the enemy's auditory system and causes their entire body to lock up and become paralyzed. The affects last for fifteen minutes after which it will slowly begin to wear off. During this time people who become affected become pale, have visible strain in their blood vessles and circulatory system, and may even have trouble breathing. In this state they are completely unable to move and completely at the mercy of the device's user.
