Destruction of Tony Stark's Mansion

"Here's a little holiday greeting I've been wanting to send to the Mandarin, I just didn't know how to phrase it until now. My name is Tony Stark and I'm not afraid of you. I know you're a coward, so I've decided that you just die pal. I'm gonna come get the body. There's no politics here, it's just good old fashioned revenge. There's no Pentagon, it's just you and me. And on the off chance your a man, here's my home address, 10-8-80 Malibu Point, 90265. I'll leave the door unlocked. That's what you wanted, right?"

- Iron Man to a group of reporters

The Destruction of Tony Stark's Mansion was a terrorist attack committed by Eric Savin and his men on Aldrich Killian's orders and a part of Killian's War. After Tony Stark publicly threatened the Mandarin, Killian replied by sending a group of heavily armed helicopters to destroy Stark's home.

They were successful and made the rest of the world believe that Stark was dead, but he was actually in Tennessee planning how to defeat the Mandarin and also fixing the Mark XLII armor with Harley Keener, a child who let him work in his garage. Later he discovered that the real mastermind behind all the attacks was Killian so Stark and James Rhodes battled him in the Battle on the Norco.

Background
Tony Stark was visiting his friend Happy Hogan at a hospital after an explosion at the . While leaving, multiple people tried to interview him. Someone asked why Stark hasn't killed the Mandarin by now. To this, he threatened the Mandarin publicly and on television, and also gave him his address so they could fight.

At his house, Stark was greeted by Maya Hansen who tried to warn him of the attack the Mandarin was bringing to them. Pepper Potts was also in the building with them.

Attack
The first missile was fired at the house. Stark made J.A.R.V.I.S. put the Mark XLII on Pepper Potts to protect her. Potts got Hansen out of the building so that she didn't get injured from debris. Stark tried to keep himself from getting killed from the missiles. When Potts and Hansen got out safely, Stark made J.A.R.V.I.S. fly the Mark XLII to him so he could defend himself against the attackers.

Stark defeated two of the three helicopters attacking his house, but soon the house collapsed and fell into the ocean, with him inside. The helicopter left, giving him a chance to escape, which he did by flying out of the ocean.

Tony Stark was assumed dead after this attack.

Aftermath
J.A.R.V.I.S. autopiloted Stark to Rose Hill, Tennessee, where he met a child named Harley Keener, who helped him discover more about the Mandarin's attacks. Stark also managed to get a message to Potts, telling her that he was still alive. Later, the President is kidnapped. While trying to prevent the kidnapping, Stark was unable to save the president, but managed to kill Eric Savin and save the crew of the Air Force One.
