General:
A warrior outfitted
in hi-tech armor, War Machine defeats his opponents with a powerful array
of futuristic weapons. Tony Stark, the creator and wearer of the Iron
Man armor, became overwhelmed with his numerous duties and needed someone
to help him. He turned to his good friend James Rhodes, whom he met in
Vietnam and who was now his personal pilot. Rhodes began filling in for
Tony as Iron Man, and when Stark became an alcoholic Rhodes wore the armor
full time. After several years, Stark finally overcame his problems and
decided to once again don the Iron Man armor. Rhodes was given his own
set of advanced armor, and adopted the identity of War Machine. Rhodes
initially felt animosity over losing the Iron Man armor to Stark, but the
two eventually patched things up and remain friends to this day.

Comment:
War Machine is pretty
much a "clone design" of Iron Man, so he doesn't have much originality...
But he gets some coolness points here and there. He's got a pretty cool
name and all.
