| − | | HistoryText = Advanced Idea Mechanics was created as a think tank by Aldrich Killian. It's mandate was scientific research and development, but with limited funding and influence, Killian needed to find sponsors to back his formative venture. On New Year's Eve 1999, at a party in Bern, Switzerland, he approached billionaire industrialist Tony Stark and asked him for support. Tony fobbed off the advance, but his date for the night, the botanist Dr. Maya Hansen, did however accept Killian's contact details. As he was leaving Killian, Stark lied to him and told him he'd meet him on the roof. Killian made the ascent and waited, but Stark never came. That rejection changed Killian and had the effect of reshaping A.I.M. into something quite different to what it had been formed to accomplish. |

Dr. Maya Hansen, who had also been abandoned by Stark, brought her research with her into the company and started the Extremis program, an experimental process of manipulating organic matter on a genetic level. It was successful as a means to restore a body from crippling injuries, but also had lethal side effects in a number of cases. Treated soldiers who failed to regulate the Extremis virus were prone to spontaneously explode, sometimes publicly, which led Killian to conceive a cover story of terrorist attacks by the now defunct Ten Rings group to conceal the truth. |

Early History
Advanced Idea Mechanics shares the same early history as its Earth-199999 counterpart.
Season 1
A.I.M. tried to complete many tasks, and failed thanks to the Avengers. First their attempts to recreate the Extremis virus were thwarted by Hank Pym and the Wasp[1]. Then agents Blizzard, Eric Savin and Titanium Man were defeated in rapid succession[2][3]. Finally, when agent Duval developed superhuman powers, he left the organization. [4]
Seasons 3 & 5
Titanium Man returned to cause trouble for the Avengers during the beginning of their Ultron problems[5]. Not long after that, Stature infiltrated an A.I.M. base looking for kidnapped Avengers, including her father. However, it turned out M.O.D.O.K. had nothing to do with the kidnapping, nor did A.I.M.[6]
Season 5
A.I.M.'s leader Aldrich Killian Killian would go on to be recruited for Kang's Masters of Evil[7], during which time he would attempt to re-engage Iron Man in combat, instead fighting against his suits, War Machine, and Rescue.[8]
