The Iron Man statue is a 24 centimeter, 10 kilogram sculpture depicting the Buddhist deity Vaiśravaṇa, made from First Civilization material.[1] Prior to World War II, the artifact was stolen from Tibet by Adolf Hitler's SS during their search for the origins of the Aryan race.[2]
Influenced by Abstergo Industries, the media falsely reported that the statue was made from a meteorite that crashed to the Earth 15,000 years ago. After applauding Erica Nichols for her work, Alan Rikkin ordered Laetitia England to recover the statue.[1]
