Iron Man and X-O Manowar in Heavy Metal

Iron Man / X-O Manowar in Heavy Metal is an action game featuring Marvel heroes Iron Man and X-O Manowar. Players can choose either character and battle through eight zones, including Nuclear Plant, Stark Enterprises, New York City, Rain Forest, Isle, Drill Platform, Dromak Ship, and Cyberspace.

Both heroes can fire arm blasts and chest weapons, hover, punch, kick, and pick up and throw objects. Enemies and defenses appear in the foreground and background, including Spider Alien Soldiers, laser turrets, cannons, and electrical traps. First-aid kits restore armor, while one-ups and continues help players maintain their progress.

Each zone concludes with a boss encounter featuring enemies such as Goliath, Yellowjacket, Titania, and Mr. Hyde. The game also supports simultaneous two-player action.
