Writer Christopher Yost began his career as an intern at Marvel Comics’ west coast office and rose quickly through the ranks when he was soon asked to write episodes of the popular animated program “X-Men Evolution.” It was there where he met fellow writer Craig Kyle and the two created one of the most popular new characters to appear in comics in recent years, X-23, the clawed teenage clone of Wolverine.

Since then, the two have worked on such animated projects as “Wolverine and the X-Men,” “Hulk vs.” and “Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow.” Not to mention their comic book collaborations that include “X-Force,” “New X-Men,” “X-23: Innocence Lost & Target X” and “X-Force/Cable: Messiah War.”

Now, the talented Yost is on his own with “Iron Man: Armored Adventures.” The new series, which airs Friday nights on the Nicktoons Network, follows a teenage Tony Stark after the death of his father in a plane crash. Tony attends high school and with the help of his friends Happy Hogan, Jim Rhodes and Pepper Potts, fights as Iron Man against villains such as the Mandarin and Crimson Dynamo.
