Biography[]

Iron Man 3[]

After the alien attack in New York, President Ellis ordered the construction of a American symbolic-like armor.

Ellis became the main target in a series of attacks caused by the Mandarin, which included various cities across the United States being bombed by Extremis users overloading, and various satellite hacked TV broadcasts. In response to the first hacked broadcast, Ellis made the construction of the Iron Patriot public.

Much later during another broadcast while Ellis was on Air Force One, Mandarin threatened to kill Roxxon worker Thomas Richards if Ellis didn't call on his own hacked phone. Ellis called Mandarin but the terrorist shot Richards anyway, vowing that Ellis was not safe. Later when Ellis was set to disembark on Air Force One once more, he was greeted by the Iron Patriot assigned to protect him. Ellis naturally was unaware that it was in fact Eric Savin who stole the suit earlier and was allowed access due to Vice President Rodriguez's betrayal. Once Air Force One was airborne, Savin made his move, killed the presidential guard before revealing himself to Ellis and locked him in the suit which headed to the Mandarin's base camp.

Ellis arrived and was surprised to be greeted not by Mandarin, but by the true manipulator Aldrich Killian and discovered that Mandarin was part of a set up so Killian could become rich from the supply and demand of his Extremis product. As part of the plan, Ellis was chained up above a destroyed Roxxon oil tanker but the join was soon attacked by Tony Stark and James Rhodes, leading an Iron Legion. Rhodes soon freed Ellis and reclaimed his armor which he used to transport Ellis from the area. Ellis presumably had Rodriguez and Trevor Slattery arrested soon after.
