Storyline
Whiplash is plotting revenge, laying in wait in Cincinnati, but he's also trying to climb the Stark Industries corporate ladder, and insensitively relegates his fiance, the plant manager, to kitchen duty in front of Tony and Pepper. Stealing Tony's latest Micro-Power Cell Whiplash challenges Iron Man to recover it. When he does Whiplash takes the upper hand by destroying Iron Man's weapons one by one. Using his Magnetic Disks Iron Man steals Whiplash's whip. Defeated Whiplash engages one last ploy and escapes. In the epilogue Vicki breaks the engagement due to Mark realizing incompatibility.

Story Notes
Colorist credit is misspelled S. Golberg. From observing panels of pencil art by Russell that were crossed out and revised before publication Nick Caputo suspects Romita assisted Russell on some of the storytelling on several pages. References previous battle with Whiplash in Tales of Suspense issues #97-99.
