The man in the War Machine had many names he answered to. Lieutenant Colonel James Rhodes. Civilian. Avenger. Shield agent. Iron Man when Mr. Stark needed an alibi. Rhodey and of course War Machine. The man had done more in ten years than most men did in forty years and had built an impressive track record and served both the United States Air Force and S.H.I.E.L.D. with distinction and honor. The collapse of the West Coast Avengers hit James Rhodes hard and for a long time he believed it was his fault.
After a couple weeks James returned to S.H.I.E.L.D. and had tried to stay active but things got hectic like they always do. Rather than turning to alcohol he buried himself in work, field assignments, whatever he could get. He'd been forced to take a break because he was practically working himself to death.
After the formation of the Avengers in New York he decided to not go against Fury's ordered downtime and rested. During the Evolutionary War however James donned the War Machine once more and used it to help protect the U.N. building.
