IRON MAN: ARMORED ADVENTURES: "ANCIENT HISTORY 101"
"Ancient History 101," a new episode of Iron Man: Armored Adventures, premieres on Nicktoons on Friday at 7 p.m. (ET).
Here's how the episode is described:
"The search is on for the Makluan Rings, and Tony and his friends go back to square one -- the site where Tony's dad found the first ring. But at the site, they find more than they bargained for, namely a test -- and a guardian. Finding the ring is one thing, but you have to earn their power. And while Gene and Rhodey learn the secret history of the Makluan Rings, Tony and Pepper are in for the first of their lives against the ring's guardians -- the Dreadknights."
