"After last month's dramatic victory over the powerful Titanium Man..."

Storyline

Back in New York Iron Man is lauded for his victory over Titanium Man. An aggrieved Countess Stephanie de la Spirosa visits the Mad Thinker to enlist his aid in discovering Iron Man's identity. The Awesome Android is sent to abduct Tony Stark. In the Mad Thinker's lab Tony tricks his foes with a sleep gas-filled briefcase. He dons his armor and defeats the Android. The Thinker's lab explodes. Iron Man rescues the Thinker and the Countess. Meanwhile, in hospital, Happy's condition has worsened. Tony cannot visit him because he needs to recharge his chest plate, much to Pepper's annoyance!
