The Assault on Stark Mansion was an attack on the Malibu residence of Tony Stark that was launched by Eric Savin under orders from Aldrich Killian, in retaliation for Stark's taunts toward the Mandarin. Savin coordinated three attack helicopters that approached the Mansion from the Pacific Ocean, firing missiles into the house. Stark summoned his Mark 42 armor, directing it to encase Pepper Potts to protect her from the attack, and Potts used the armor to protect Stark from falling debris.
