The film stars Adrian Pasdar as Iron Man, Fred Tatasciore as Hulk/Banner, and Dee Bradley Baker as Zzzax.The studio used a new process that they invented referred to as a "2-D wrap".

and Taskmaster strategized a plan to be rid of Captain America; by stealing the weapons that belonged to Iron Man.After the two heroes' training was complete, the Hydra soldiers infiltrated the Helicarrier and headed towards the weapons vault. During their attack, two of the soldiers went in and escaped with the Stark Repulsor Cannon. Iron Man flies to reclaim his repulsor cannon while Cap fights with Taskmaster, but to no avail as Taskmaster takes him down and kidnapped him to the base.
Red Skull stole Cap's superhuman blood to create an army, replicated with the same powers as he has, with machine called the Neurotransducer. Iron Man has been reported that not only the hull of the Helicarrier is damaged, but his Mark VI armor is taken by Taskmaster during the infiltration. He found their base in an abandoned military bunker in the Southern Estonia.
The serum was fully created and Red Skull brainwashed Cap, causing him into becoming an ally to Hydra and fights against Iron Man, who arrives to rescue him. During the fight, Cap hacks into Iron Man's systems, allowing Taskmaster to gain access to control his Mark VI armor. Iron Man gets Cap back to normal and put up a fake fight to make Taskmaster thinks Cap is still in Hydra's control. After that, Taskmaster announced his plan to Cap about overthrowing Red Skull and to rule the world, before being beaten down by the two. As they leave, Taskmaster escapes and activates his Mark VI armor, naming himself "The Iron Master."
Arriving in Antarctica, two of the Avengers witnessed a giant rocket, containing Cap's blood, enough to turn everyone in the world into his super-powered army, and an underground facility where they mass produced Stark's repulsor cannon and copied Cap's shield from the real one. They fight off against the remaining Hydra soldiers and shut down production of the facility. Before they can take down Red Skull, The Iron Master arrives and attempts to kill him, but the armor was in Red Skull's control and forced him to kill them, but is quickly beaten. The superhuman Hydra soldiers arrived to defeat the two avengers. Before they can finish them off, Hulk arrived to their aid of assistance. Iron Man fights against Iron Master with Hulk and won, while Cap goes to confront Red Skull and to halt the rocket's launch sequence. Cap succeeds in stopping the rocket by stuck his shield into the fuel tanks, causing the rocket to destruct by the launch, and destroying the whole facility in the process. Red Skull, Iron Master and the remaining Hydra soldiers survived and escaped, but taken into custody by S.H.I.E.L.D..
At the Helicarrier, Iron Man, Cap and Hulk began training and end up with the two being beaten by Iron Patriot's heat-seeking missiles. After the two make up, they and Hulk went out to eat.
