The autobiography of Tony Stark, conclusion
In the previous series Tony Stark gave up control of Stark Unlimited and used all his fortune to buy up dangerous black market superweapons. In this series Feilong (Kelvin Heng) has dragged Tony even lower and has also taken over the company. Feilong is also a foe of the mutant nation so Stark has gone to Krakoa to seek the help of Emma Frost (White Queen).Non-mutants aren't allowed to set foot on the island so Emma and Tony have their meeting on horses. He warns her that Feilong claimed that the mutants are already defeated but they don't yet know it. Emma thinks it's an empty boast. He made a move against Krakoa and their allies on mutant-settled Arakko (Mars) and failed. She's called Sunfire to join them because he has had a personal interaction with Feilong. When he arrives he says he hasn't got long because he's leaving on a mission to Otherworld (as he agreed to do in X-Men (2021) #9). Emma arranges direct mind contact between Tony and Shiro Yashida. In XM#6 Shiro met Feilong on Mars' moon Phobos where he saw him project a blast from his mouth which killed a famous Arakki warrior Vornak. Feilong told Sunfire he was looking for a worthy nemesis. Returning to ordinary speech the mutants tell Tony that telepath Jean Grey learned that Feilong had used the long journey from Earth to Mars to enhance himself with cosmic rays focussed through ruby quartz lenses. Feiling's people still hold Phobos and are tolerated by the Arakki.Sunfire leaves for Otherworld and Stark gets his AI BOSS to bring his Iron Man suit here. He transfers from his horse to the hovering armour (presumably without ever stepping on the ground). Tony says he considers Feilong a major threat but Emma still isn't convinced. She suggests he may be trying to foment discord between Stark and the mutants. As he too leaves the island he tells her she reminds him of someone (probably Pepper Potts for the grounded advice).During his return trip to the States Stark gets BOSS to review material being shipped around Stark Unlimited's sites for the last financial quarter. He'd assumed that Feilong was going to use SU to help the mutant-hating Orchis organisation, possibly by giving people enhancements like his own. But now he realises that the villain had infiltrated the company long before he took it over and has been directing massive amounts of metal to a Texas factory. So Iron Man heads there.Meanwhile in SU's New York HQ Feilong (his arm in a cast from his battle with the Golden Avenger last issue) assures the staff that their jobs are safe. But then he tells an aide to draw up 3 lists:- those who should be fired, those who should be 'retired' with non-competition clauses, and the few who he'll keep. Then he joins 2 nervous techs in SU's secure information room. He wants to review all data on Tony's father Howard Stark. The techs say a lot of that is on analogue files but there are lots of staff now digitising it. But the machines to read some of the analogue files are rare. Feilong looks over the list of what will be available and complains that over 2 dozen entries are missing. The tech explains that those refer to physical objects Howard left Tony, and they're stored at the Texas site. So the boss decides they should go there.We see a crane replacing the SU sign on the Texas building with the new Feilong version as he and the tech guy walk in. It's a hangar full of obsolete machines but Feilong spots a painting which the tech just happens to know is very valuable. But his boss rips it apart and finds inside a load of old movie reel canisters. Feilong gets hold of a suitable tape player and watches the 1st 1 which is a long video message from Howard to his 'son'. He fast forwards through stuff about Tony's adoption (Tony never found this cache of tapes so he didn't discover he was adopted until his 2013 series.) He then apologises for his long absence with Nathaniel Richards (working for the Brotherhood Of The Shield in the 2010 SHIELD series). At the point he made this tape he'd been working with Adam Brashear (Blue Marvel) whose papers are also archived by the Stark company. Now he's spacesuited-up and is about to pass through a gateway seemingly created by a Van de Graaff generator or a Tesla device. He's going 'beyond' in search of a 'miracle metal' element unknown to man. He's left his research notes on the other tapes. (Presumably he never came back.)Later Iron Man arrives at (a different part of?) the Texas facility. He forces a big metal door open then steps out of the Iron Man suit. He finds himself facing a huge metal foot and looks up to see a giant IM version of a mutant-hunting Sentinel, still under construction by drones. Then he's zapped in the back by a crowd control drone which Feilong tells him he's selling to police departments. The villain has a metal bin in which he's burning all the tapes. And he's wearing his discretely-armoured suit from last issue and no longer has his arm in a cast. He kicks Stark while he's down and complains again about the Avengers abandoning the newly-greened Mars (in the lead up to the end of the multiverse and Secret Wars). He tells Tony about the discovery Howard had made which was detailed on the burning tapes, which he 1st read with his photographic memory.Then he puts Stark back in his armour because he wants him alive to witness how he uses the info to remake the world. He vocal blasts Iron Man out of the building and orders the nearly finished Stark Sentinel to use him as target practice. Shellhead is easily defeated by a superior version of his own technology and just manages to fly away. Feilong tells the Sentinel to let him go.

Fight the future
In previous series Tony Stark gave up control of Stark Unlimited and then spent all his money buying up dangerous black-market weapons which he now keeps in a secure installation. But now Feilong (Kevin Heng) has taken control of SU and used Stark's tech to build Iron Sentinels, upgraded versions of the mutant-hunting robots which he's providing to the mutant-hating organisation Orchis. Tony's determined to destroy the Sentinels.Now he and James Rhodes are outside the Sentinel factory near Amarillo, Texas at night planning to break in. There doesn't appear to be much security so it's possibly a trap. Stark asks for a head start before Rhodey comes in 'guns blazing'.Next we see Iron Man walking brazenly up to the front door carrying a big gun from the weapon hoard. The 2 security guards tell him he's not allowed in but he blasts a big hole in the wall and walks through it. Once inside he advises all the staff to leave, and the foreman of the night shift agrees to it. When sensors indicate that the place is empty Shellhead starts planting disc bombs (also from the weapons stash) to destroy the building. A secondary motive was to see how far along the production line is, which question is answered when 1 of the big bots attacks him. IM dodges but more of the Sentinels are active, so he starts tagging them with bombs and detonating them as will as shooting them with the gun. Then he exits the place while calling his partner-in-crime to tell-him he's successfully stirred the hornets' nest.It turns out that Iron Man was in fact Jim Rhodes, and Stark has used his head start to sneak up on the place in newly-built stealth armour he dubs the Mark Nil. Rhodey was just there to draw attention, and now Tony tells him to get away. Jim is enjoying flying the red&gold armour for the 1st time in years, it's fast and manoeuvrable compared to his heavily-armed War Machine suit. But he's still not fast enough to escape and has to continue battling the bots.Meanwhile Stark has been planting the 'real' bombs from a kit bag slung over his back. He explains to Rhodey (and us) over their comm-link that these bombs that he invented will create a sphere around the factory which will then implode rather than explode. Along the way he interrogates the brain of 1 of the Sentinels and discovers that they're designed to take down superheroes as well as mutants. He plants the last bomb and then activates his boot jets for the 1st time for a quick exit because he can tell Rhodey needs some help. But that's enough to trigger a Sentinel into grabbing him in a giant fist. Then he triggers the bombs while still inside the blast zone ...... but of course he survives by turning his jets to max and ripping the robot's hand free. He and the enclosing fist go bouncing across the ground outside the factory. Rhodey too has escaped and he flies the Iron Man armour to his waiting War Machine armour. He exits the 1st and tells its AI BOSS to take it home. But before he can enter his own armour a blast from another Sentinel separates the 2. Jim is badly injured and the Sentinel takes the WM armour and declares Rhodes under arrest.Tony's stealth armour manages at last to pry itself loose from the inert robot hand. He rushes to find Jim but instead sees helicopters and Sentinels surrounding the hole where the factory used to be. It's all gone wrong and recovering alcoholic Tony craves a drink.Hours later Feilong surveys the site with Dr Stasis and Nimrod of Orchis. He says this is a setback but he has other secret factories creating Iron Sentinels. However they won't have enough of them ready to take out *all* of the targets they planned on the mutants' upcoming Hellfire Gala night. They'll have to concentrate on the mutants and leave the Avengers and others for later. They confront the foreman who agreed to evacuate the factory and the Nimrod robot kills him.Back in his current home in an abandoned cab company in Jersey Tony has been calling his lawyer Jennifer Walters (She-Hulk). She's been unable to answer because she's been on a flight to Texas. But now she tells him that Rhodey's been arrested and denied bail. He's charged with murder because they found a dead body on the scene. We see a picture of the foreman.

Sentenced to life
This is a crossover with X-Men #26. It shares 1 scene from there in the middle but then takes the story further.But 1st we look in on James Rhodes in prison in Texas. As part of Feilong and Orchis' campaign against Tony Stark and the mutant nation Krakoa they framed Tony's pal Rhodey for murder (#7), and he regularly gets beaten up while the guards look the other way. Now a guard gives him a mobile saying there's a call for him. Jim refuses to take it fearing that his fingerprints on such a banned item could be used to increase his punishment, but the guard insists and grudgingly says he's got friends in high places. The phone tells him Tony wants to talk to him.Tony himself is enjoying a party at the Hellfire Club where he is the new Black King. A waiter hands him a phone saying he has a call. When he learns it's Rhodey he heads for a quiet place to talk. But when they realise that each thinks the other initiated the call they also realise it's a setup. Stark hears a fight start as Feilong enters the party and hails him, and he guesses his foe knows *exactly* what's happening on the other end of the line. He charges towards him intending to wipe the smirk off his face, but White King Wilson Fisk stops him and says that the arrangements he asked for are in place.Meanwhile Rhodey is being attacked by 8 or so inmates. He's not going down without a fight but he's outnumbered and outarmed. But then the sand in the exercise yard starts to swirl around and forms a giant fist which scatters most of the men. 1 guy with a knife is left active and seeks to carry out his final order but another inmate breaks his wrist. Rhodey recognises Living Laser, but the man says he's just Arthur Parks while wearing a power inhibitor. He introduces himself as Jim's new cellmate. And the sand reforms into Sandman/Flint Marko. They say that they were hired to keep him safe until he could be released. Parks says he punched a cop to get a short sentence. Marko says all he needs is sand and this is Texas - sand gets everywhere.Rhodey gets the phone back and tries to thank his friend, but Tony says he's still working on getting him out. Jim tells him just to win the war and *then* he can get him out ready for revenge. A watching guard is also on a phone reporting to Feilong that the hit didn't happen because the target now has super-powered muscle. The Tony/Jim call ends and Rhodes tells Parks he's grateful that Stark was able to hire him and Sandman. Parks says Stark's broke these days and couldn't afford them, so Rhodes asks him who *is* paying?So we flashback a few weeks, probably to just after the end of last issue where Emma Frost in her Hazel Kendal disguise in introduced Stark to Wilson Fisk in the Hellfire Club to whom she's transferred all her assets to stop Orchis from getting them. Tony wants him to get Rhodey out of jail. He knows Fisk wants his mutant wife (Typhoid Mary) back. If they work together they can all get what they want, but he *needs* Rhodey to win. The ex-Kingpin/ex-Mayor asks Miss Frost to explain the rules. She tells Tony he has to ask nicely. Tony swallows his pride and begs for help. Fisk graciously promises it.Now in the present we get the scene from XM#26. 'Hazel Kendal' joins the party and is disgusted to see Feilong there. She's about to remove the ring from her finger which inhibits and hides her mutant power so she can kill him, but Tony stops her and takes her to a private room. He tells her they can't kill him or wipe his mind yet because he has info that Tony needs. Also if she takes off the ring the giant robot Sentinels will come here and blow their scheme wide open. But the angry woman knees him in the groin and discards the ring anyway.We get some extra dialogue where Tony further explains that he needs to know exactly what anti-mutant powers Feilong has given the Sentinels. And also what info he dug up about a miracle metal Howard Stark found outside reality (as revealed in #5). Then we continue with the end of XM#26 where Tony is on his knees before 'Hazel', because of being kneed and because he's picked up the ring, when Feilong walks in and thinks he's proposing to her. The couple go along with that and Tony puts the ring (back) on her finger.Now the story continues with Stark schmoozing with Feilong and thanking him for forcing him to abandon his life of Iron Man (by gaining legal control of Stark tech). He's much happier now that he's given up his addiction to public adulation and returned to his earlier addiction to booze (but he's faking that). The villain asks if he's invited to the wedding but Tony says "No", knowing that's the best way to ensure the he *will* be there. Feilong asks where Emma Frost went when she escaped in the Iron Man armour (last issue). Stark tells him that when the armour returned it's black box said it had been to Mars where lots of other mutants are (sowing a seed in his mind that will bear fruit in later issues).Tony and Hazel then announce their engagement to the party. Tony tells them they're heading straight for Las Vegas ...... which is where we see them romancing. Tony reminds Emma that she's only marrying him in her fake Hazel Kendal id. He also suggests that she get rid off the X-symbol she's wearing on a neckchain. She says it a gift from Forge she found in 1 of her coats. That night Tony suits up in the Iron Man black stealth armour he's been using (here and in the Avengers) since Feilong's cease and desist order, while Emma sees to some X-business.Stark's been working on a new armour in the Hellfire Club basement/Morlock tunnels. So he now breaks into a secret Vegas lab belonging to Ezekiel Stane, defeats a load of defence drones and opens a door to let in a truck driven by Deadpool (on loan from Captain America's latest Unity Squad in Uncanny Avengers). They load up a sophisticated fabrication device which DP drives back to the Club.Next day he's at the wedding chapel in the outfit on the cover. Emma's there as Hazel, *not* in white as on the cover of XM#26 but in matching shades of red. The un-Frost-like demure neckline I think hides the X-medallion. On cue Feilong crashes the party as the only and uninvited guest. Emma removes the inhibitor ring and takes over his mind.She mentally takes Tony into that mind to when Feilong was watching the video Howard left (which he later destroyed). But Tony now watches it in Feilong's photographic memory while Emma extracts all the info on the Sentinels. (But the video doesn't seem to tell him more than he already knew.) Feilong starts to realise what's happening but Emma makes him go back to 'sleep' again and forget it all. She takes the opportunity to scan his past and discovers that he was a non-mutant child of 2 mutants. He claims that they abandoned him but in fact they loved him but he hated them because they were mutants and he wasn't (though whether it was bigotry or envy isn't clear to me). Emma could just give him a fatal stroke now but she wants him to confess to the world what he's done. But if she makes him do that now then Orchis will just kill him, so she leaves it for later.They return to reality and the marriage, with the minister not remembering anything strange. Feilong is so convinced of Stark's 'rehabilitation' that he offers him membership of Orchis, and even a senior role in his old company that the villain now owns. But Tony says he'll consider it after his honeymoon.On their way the newlyweds discuss the mystery metal Howard was seeking outside reality. Emma is convinced it is the mutants' secret metal mysterium that they mine from the White Hot Room outside space and time. The amulet she wears is made of it. And she says there's much more of it available.

The price of knowledge
It's the culminating battle with Orchis for Iron Man and the X-mutants. Iron Man for his part (after leading the Avengers against Orchis in their #12-13) has lured a horde of Iron Sentinels to the Australian outback where he tried to destroy them all with his new Model 72 armour and his giant Model 73 Sentinel Buster armour/robot, both made of the mutants' metal mysterium. But there were too many of them, and his foe, their creator Feilong, added to the problem in *his* new War Machine Sentinel armour. As the Sentinel Buster with IM inside it ran out of power, Feilong dove his WMS into its heart, disabling it.Now Stark recovers consciousness in his M72 armour inside the 'corpse' of the S-Buster tangled in cables. He breaks free and tries to contact the Avengers, but mysterium blocks his signal. He smashes his way through the really big robot's innards but starts to have hallucinations. He sees his (dead) adoptive mother Maria Stark having tea with his (still alive as far as I know) birth mother Amanda Armstrong. He asks them if *he*'s dead but they direct him to his (also dead) adoptive father Howard.On the way he finds the body of Zhong Wei who Feilong killed (#2) as part of his takeover of Stark Unlimited. He blames Tony for giving up control of the company (in IM(2020)#1). Stark is then dragged under (imaginary?) water by a bunch of villains whose deaths Iron Man is in some way responsible for. But he is saved by an apparition of Magneto who accuses him of creating weapons to kill mutants. (Partially correct. On the 1 hand Stark used to be a weapons manufacturer whose output could be used to kill *anybody*. On the other hand since then he's designed countermeasures against most major superchars including top-level mutants but also some of his own Avengers allies.) Tony counters that Magneto's 1st public act was to attack a military base (X-Men #1). Maggie then buries IM in metal.Next thing we know Howard Stark is digging his son out of rocky rubble. Tony is now in his original clunky grey armour. He apologises for its crudity but Howard reminds him he built while captive in a cave (Tales Of Suspense #39 of course) and as such it's a more impressive achievement than anything he did in a lab. But he continues to say that men like them are condemned to Hell because they stole knowledge from the gods. And he pushes Tony into a suddenly opening pit and throws rocks in after him.Then Tony breaks out of the nightmare and fully back to his senses. He's in the heart of the Model 73 where the (arc?) reactor that powers it has been wrecked by Feilong's War Machine Sentinel suicide dive. But Feilong survived and now whacks him on the back of the head with a metal bar. (Tony's not wearing his IM helmet with the rest of his M72 armour. Stark hits him with a repulsor blast in revenge for Zhong Wei. Feilong hits back with green 'flames' from his mouth. Stark fends that off with a force field and then hits him with an armoured fist in revenge for his neighbour Marielle Marcus (killed in #1 when Feilong had Tony's home blown up). He continues to pound his foe's face until Feilong admits he's failed and invites Stark to kill him. But 1st there's something he must tell him ...Stark stops the beating but orders Feilong to shut down all his Iron Sentinels. The villain says there's a problem there. He no longer has control because the AIs in Orchis, Nimrod and Omega Sentinel (Karima Shapandar), have taken over and they want to kill all humans as well as mutants. Tony contacts his partner Emma Frost who's fighting more Sentinels with the X-Men. It turns out she's discovered the same thing. Feilong says that Orchis has way more Sentinels than even *he* knew about. And Emma tells Tony that she's sent someone to help. And the real (and surprisingly not dead) Magneto shows up.

The honeymoon is over
Quick resume:- Feilong took over Stark Unlimited and used it to create Iron Sentinels for Orchis who attacked the mutant nation at their Hellfire Gala and forced most of them to flee Earth. Feilong also legally stopped Tony Stark from using his Iron Man armour so now he's undercover with stealth armour, even in the Avengers. Meanwhile he and mutant sympathiser Kingpin have taken over the Hellfire Club where he's been creating a totally new Mark 72 armour, and Emma Frost is posing as his aide Hazel Kendal. Last issue the pair got fake-married and Emma managed to plunder Feilong's mind for info on the Sentinels and also on a mystery metal that Tony's father Howard Stark had been seeking, which Emma recognised as the mutant's mysterium and which Tony needs for his new armour.Now they're on a fake honeymoon in Hawaii. After ensuring that they've been conspicuous they retire to their suite. But Tony dons his stealth Mark Nil armour and heads off for the mutant nation's island Krakoa, while Emma keeps in continuous touch while Stark's tech lets her see what *he* sees. He approaches the island underwater to get past hovering guardian Sentinels and then heads inland on foot because his boot jets would give him away. Emma guides him to her White Palace where she has a stash of mysterium that's hopefully not been found.He sneaks past some human troops and a talking gorilla. Emma tells him that Orchis have several of them and they're all highly intelligent. He reaches her bedroom which appears already ransacked and she directs him towards a trunk containing the metal. But the ape is looking for the same thing following some satellite spectrometer readings. So they fight for it. The man in the stealth armour denies being Tony Stark but the gorilla doesn't believe him. But eventually Stark ends the fight by bringing the ceiling down on his foe's head.Tony opens the box and confirms to Emma that the metal's still inside. He spots a photo album that her daughters the Stepford Cuckoos made for her but she tells him to leave it because it would betray her real identity. He takes the trunk and walks out with it in stealth mode, but he senses being watched. (An editorial comment tells us that the place has a secret guardian whose identity can be found in Immortal X-Men.)Later the couple return to the Hellfire Club where Stark retires to his secret lab. He uses the fabrication device that he 'liberated' from Stane International last issue to turn the mysterium into a walking stick. He intends to test this substance before incorporating it into his armour. To that end he visits Captain Marvel in the Jarvis Lounge. Try as she might she can't even bend it. Then he goes to see Dr Strange who finds it impervious to magic. While he's there Tony asks Stephen to look after a book for a friend. Finally he contacts Spider-Man who he asks to close his eyes. Then he whacks Spidey's leg with the stick to check that it doesn't even trigger his Spider-Sense. He says he's going to attack the Sentinels with it, and SM and everyone else can join in when he does.

The mysterium marauders
Orchis have driven most of the mutant nation of Krakoa off Earth with the help of Sentinels made from Stark tech. Tony Stark has teamed up with his 'wife' Hazel Kendal (Emma Frost in disguise) to use the mutants' super-metal mysterium with which to create a new Iron Man armour and an armada to oppose the Sentinels. But they have to go off-Earth to get it.Now Tony has brought 'Hazel' to the Catskills for a rendezvous with a spaceship which disgorges 2 mercenary Skrulls V'Chun and N'dak who have been hired by an intermediary to impersonate them while they're off in space. Which they do, and leave (presumably in Tony's car). Then the intermediary and pilot Starfox/Eros invites them into the spaceship. He can't help flirting with Emma as they leave the planet.Meanwhile someone else leaves Earth too. Ironheart has been given the job of overseeing the creation of the armada. To that end she sneaks into Orchis' orbiting base past the guardian Sentinels, cloaked by Mandarin's Rings. She then uses them to cause an explosion as a distraction while she steals a shuttle and heads out into space.Eros flies Stark and Frost to Gameworld. He's going to provide a distraction while they too 'steal' the Krakoans' own mysterium from the casino where they'd deposited it for safekeeping. When the duo are near the target Tony dons his Mark Nil stealth armour and they wait for Starfox' signal. But it turns out some space pirates are staging their own heist and are currently in a standoff with a force of armed guards. And then it turns ugly.The guards have psi-blockers so White Queen mentally attacks the pirates while Iron Man fires tranquilliser darts at the guards. Emma then abandons her psi power to turn diamond for safety. And IM bounces stun blasts off her body to hit more foes as she also causes their own fire to rebound on them. When it's all over Starfox arrives as the distraction, disguised as a pregnant woman about to give birth. So he just helps them load up the loot. The duo will take some of it to Earth to make Stark's new Mark 72 armour while Eros delivers the bulk to Ironheart and the dwarven smiths for the armada. He teleports the pair back to Earth and sets off.They return to the Hellfire Club and release the Skrulls from their deception duties. Before *they* teleport away they hand over a newspaper as evidence of their activities. The Daily Bugle shows them having a romantic Xmas ice-skate at Rockefeller Plaza. And they decide to do the same thing.Riri Williams is flying the Orchis shuttle to an agreed rendezvous with Eros and the mysterium. But she crosses paths with another small self-built craft piloted by Forge of the X-Men who almost shoots her down because of her ship's ensignia. The meeting of the 2 engineers is a bit prickly until Forge reveals that he used to be the boyfriend of Riri's heroine Storm.But their incipient friendship is interrupted by a Makluan space-dragon who is angry because the Mandarin's Rings contain the souls of brother aliens. Its 1st move is to rip the shuttle apart.

End of the line
The Fall Of X event is over. The mutant nation's living island Krakoa has gone but so has the Orchis organisation that attacked them and took over Tony Stark's company (and used it to build new mutant-hunting Sentinels). The Hellfire Club where Tony stayed for the last half of this series has burned down (since the end of last issue).Tony's now in court where lawyer Jennifer Walters (She-Hulk) gets the trumped-up (by Stark's foe Feilong and Orchis in #7) murder charge against James Rhodes dismissed. Tony lost his fortune over his latest 2 series and can't afford to pay her. He could sue Orchis but all their money is tied up in (other) victims' settlements. And his agent doesn't think his autobiography will sell. Jen says she's organised the annulment of his marriage to Emma Frost (under the guise of Hazel Kendal in #10) but he asks her to hold fire on that. Rhodey wants to know what happened to Feilong?At the end of last issue we saw Iron Man bury Feilong alive in a coffin. But now we go to Mars where Krakoa's sister organism Arakko still lives. There we see that the villain is trapped in a dome impervious to the blasts from his mouth. He gets a visit from an old IM armour with Tony's holographic head, and the armour proves impervious too. F is using a copy of the autobiography to prop up the table on which he has a chess set. Stark says he's not going to let him buy his way out of charges on Earth, and he'll stay here until he writes a full confession.Later Iron Man visits (the well-known in real Earth) Powells's (City Of) Books in Portland, Oregon where Tony is due for a book signing of 'The Assembling Of Tony Stark'. There's a long line waiting outside the store, and as he settles behind the desk Stark notices that 1 of them is the Crimson Dynamo (Valentin Shatalov) in full armour. CD now smashes his way into the store to attack Tony over the 'lies' his book contains about the old Soviet Union. Tony throws his wristwatch at his foe which gives him an electric shock. He tells everyone else to run away while he suits up and takes the fight outside. But the Russian pauses to set fire to Tony's books. IM uses a quick-setting gel he devised against Sentinels to encase the villain in 'amber' and the cops tow him away. Tony offers to buy all the burnt books at 10% author discount.Back in New York he has a date with Emma Frost. He asks her to stay with him. She basically says it was good while it lasted, and leaves. But the waiter delivers an envelope she left for him, containing a cheque for millions of dollars. Emma then contacts him mentally and they exchange request for favours. His request was that she call on Dr Strange, but the door of the Sanctum Sanctorum is answered by Bats the ghost-dog with a book in his mouth. It's a scrapbook that her daughters, the Stepford Cuckoos, made for her and we learn that Tony rescued it from Krakoa in #11.Meanwhile IM meets with Ironheart at the ruins of the Treehouse that had been the X-nation's embassy in NY. Riri Williams says she's getting over not having the power of Mandarin's Rings (which she 'set free' in space in #14). He thanks her for doing her part in the X-Men/Orchis conflict by building the Sentinel Buster. They erect a plaque on the tree to commemorate those who died in the war. He leaves her with an open offer to join him when he relocates to the West Coast.Tony thinks that the money Emma gave him is from the Hellfire Club (which was where she stashed *her* fortune so that Orchis couldn't get hold of it). He figures it's better he has it than the Kingpin. But we learn that actually she mentally influenced the Stock Market to steal money from Dario Agger, Tombstone, the Sons Of The Serpent, the Korean People's Army, Dr Doom, AIM and the Yakuza.Stark uses the money to buy a little airstrip near Los Angeles and sat up a new Stark Industries. Rhodey is with him and we see them armoured up as IM and War Machine playing hoops with a 1 ton metal ball. They break off to save a rocket that's gone off course.

Here be Mandarin Rings
Feilong took over Tony Stark's abandoned company Stark Unlimited and used its resources to build giant Iron Sentinels to help Orchis force most mutants off Earth in the Fall Of X event. Legally barred from using his Stark-tech Iron Man armours, Tony has teamed up with Emma Frost in the Hellfire Club, including giving her a non-mutant alias as his aide Hazel Kendal and fake-marrying her.Now Tony wakes from a recurring nightmare where Magneto turns his IM armour into a large spear and kills him with it. He reminds himself that it is measures that he built into his armour to protect himself from mutants like Magneto that now makes the Sentinels such a potent weapon against mutant-kind. Emma enters his room because she heard him cry out. He has things he'd like to forget but he can't use drink to do that anymore. Emma sheds her robe (and is presumably naked underneath). She joins him on his bed to find another way to make him temporarily forget his troubles.Last issue they retrieved a large amount of the mutant super-metal mysterium from a space casino and sent it via Eros for Ironheart to create an armada of superships with the Asgardian Dwarven smiths. Riri Williams stole an Orchis shuttle to rendezvous with Eros but ran into the mutant Forge in his own craft. But they were both confronted by an alien Makluan dragon who was angry because IH wears Mandarin's Rings which contain the souls of other Makluans.Now Riri responds aggressively but Forge tries to mediate. The space dragon says he's not here to fight or demand the Rings. Instead he warns her that they will corrupt her and urges her to get rid of them. Then he flies off leaving her to comment that she thought the Rings were just alien artefacts, not intelligent. Forge asks her what she's doing here and she tells him about her task.We obviously skip the pair meeting up with Eros and getting the mysterium from him because the next scene shows the duo delivering it to the smiths in Nidavellir where they ask to use the forges to create the armada, saying that the Dwarves can have any leftover mysterium. They expected to meet King Eitri but a Dwarf named Zlusk is in charge, telling them that the King is dead and their forges are ruined. They suggest that they can get the place working again. Zlusk takes them down to the forges which combine high-tech with magic. Ironheart starts repairing the structural damage while Forge creates nano-machines to repair the control system.We skip many days during which the forges are repaired and the spaceships are built (in Iron Man's red and yellow colours). Then Zlusk and his gang double-cross them. He intends to keep all the mysterium (presumably including the spaceships). They only let the duo work to repair their forges and hoping to see how mysterium was handled. But they failed in that so now they threaten the pair demanding to know how it's done. Only the 1 who tells them will be allowed to live. Of course our heroes fight back. Ironheart blasts Zlusk and the automatic defence system in Forge's cyborg leg 'kicks' in to down another Dwarf. Riri grabs all the others with the Rings and threatens to send them into the void. But Forge talks her down.The pair chat about Riri's original intention to just study the Rings but how now she's getting too comfortable with using them, which scares her. Forge says he has an idea. A little later as they're leaving in his spacecraft they put his plan into operation. Riri wants to get rid of the Rings but doesn't want to know where they go. Forge has created a device attached to the front of his craft. She puts the Rings there and it sends them out into the Galaxy, and he tells her not to worry about where they might wind up. She regrets never having actually learned anything from them, but he suggests they've taught her something about herself.Later the 5 new spaceships are transported to Arakko (Mars) and left to be observed by Orchis. And then they move on to Earth. Leaders of Orchis (Dr Stasis, Feilong, Moira MacTaggert, Nimrod and Omega Sentinel (Karima Shapandar)) convene with Firestar to discuss the subject. Firestar tells them she has gained the trust of the mutant resistance by pretending to be responsible for freeing Juggernaut from their grasp when it was actually Mystique. She has learned that the ships were designed by Tony Stark and they plan to make their base in the Australian Outback to avoid endangering civilians. The baddies now plan to have all the Sentinels there waiting for them, and Feilong plans to make Stark watch his friend Rhodey die and then imprison him inside his own armour with no control over it.The 3 humans leave and the 3 AIs (Moira, Nimrod and Omega) make their own plans. They think Stark's too dangerous to be left for Feilong's amusement, so they send a masked agent with adamantium claws to kill him. Stark's 'autobiographical' voiceover has been commenting throughout and now says this is a revived corpse from the Weapon X program.

The end of Iron Man
Feilong has taken over Stark Unlimited and used Stark tech to create the giant Iron Sentinels for Orchis to attack the mutant nation of Krakoa. He's harassed Tony Stark by demanding that he stop using Iron Man armour, because *he* now legally owns the tech, and by framing James Rhodes for murder. Meanwhile Orchis have forced most mutants to leave Earth (in the latest Hellfire Gala 1-shot). Emma Frost is 1 of the few X-Men left here and last issue Iron Sentinels tried to arrest her. Iron Man intervened in his remaining (Model 70) armour and saved her by making that armour encase her and take her away. But that left him at the mercy of the Sentinels. He defied Feilong, watching via the Sentinels, to kill a defenceless Avenger in public.Now his bluff works and Feilong backs down, fearing retribution from the Avengers. He sends the Sentinels off to capture White Queen and confiscate the armour, just as Captain America turns up on his motorbike. Steve Rogers offers to get badly beaten Tony to hospital but he declines. Stark wants Feilong to think he's lost the team as well as everything else. But he lets Cap know in a whisper that he has a new suit of armour that will let him continue in secret as an Avenger.Tony limps down into an empty(!) underground station and onto the tracks to get to a side passage to an abandoned room occupied by rats and an overturned shopping trolley. And his stationary armour which he's used a tracker on his phone to find. Now he gets the armour to open up and Emma lunges out of it angry at being cooped up against her will. Until she notices the bad state Tony's in. He explains how he bluffed his way out, until Feilong decides he really wants him out of the way and arranges for him to be found dead of alcohol poisoning or something.It turns out this is part of the old Morlock tunnels from past X-Men adventures, but which the armour's AI chose just to get out of range of signal reception. But Stark had downloaded some news headlines on the way, 1 of which informs Frost that all human ambassadors at the Gala have been killed, and the mutants are blamed. (She didn't know about this because she and some others teleported to the Hellfire Club before it happened - as seen in the Gala issue and our last issue.) We are reminded also of the medicines that the Krakoans gave humanity but which now seem to be poisoned. So now there are Interpol arrest warrants out for the remaining X-Men.And now Emma finds that she can't sense the mutants who accepted exile at the Gala, including her daughters (the Stepford Cuckoos), and she fears they may be dead. Tony reminds her that the mutants have a resurrection system, but Emma also fears that may have been rendered inoperable. But if they *are* dead Tony suggests they avenge them. Stark redons his armour and suggests she stay here until he returns with a disguise for her.On the surface attorney She-Hulk is talking to her imprisoned client Rhodey who has obviously been beaten up. She sees the warden about it but gets no sympathy because he's an Orchis supporter. She gets contacted by Tony who's returned to the abandoned cab office he calls home. But Jen Walters has to tell him she can't be his lawyer as well as Rhodey's because of conflict of interest. Stark gets the suit's AI to self-delete and then takes a welding torch to its internals before sending it on autopilot smashing into SU's lobby to crash at Feilong's feet. Outside Stark threatens him then stalks off ... to go to a wig shop.Tony then returns to Emma underground. They release their anger by accusing each other of not stopping what happened before it was too late. But they both stop that when Tony almost collapses from his injuries. He accepts the blame, especially for Feilong having Jim at his mercy, and he asks her for help. Telepath Frost takes him into his own mind where he's comfortingly surrounded by a rack of his armours. They agree to a smart alliance to kill Feilong and the others of Orchis. Tony's part is to find a way to destroy the Iron Sentinels.Back in the underground reality Tony takes a ring out of his pocket. It's a miniaturised version of the psi-shield/blocker he developed in the flashback in #6 where he also 1st met Emma, and which he removed from the Model 70 armour before sending it to its doom. He also pulls out a brown wig for her and suggests she revive the Hazel Kendal identity she used back then. Wearing the ring she can hide her mutant abilities.With this disguise (and civilian clothes to go with it) Emma takes Tony to the Hellfire Club. She says that when she got there she transferred all her assets to someone because she guessed Orchis would get them frozen. Inside they are ushered into the presence of the Club's new White King, who turns out to be Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin (an ex crime boss and ex-Mayor of New York).

The autobiography of Tony Stark, chapter 3
In previous series Tony Stark ceded control of Stark Unlimited and then spent most of his fortune buying up dangerous super-weapons to keep them safe. Then in this series he's suffered concerted attacks which have destroyed his home, making him liable for lots of collateral damage, and made it seem like he's fallen off the wagon. As a side-effect the share price of his old company has fallen making it vulnerable to takeover. Stark thought he had a safeguard built in with an old friend Zhong Wei on the board with lots of voting stock, but at the end of last issue he was found dead.Now Tony sees the body of his friend being taken away, and the preliminary diagnosis is that he committed suicide by firing a repulsor blast through his chest. (But why don't they suspect that Iron Man shot him, as the solicitation for this issue suggested?)Stark thinks back many years to when he met Zhong who he admired for resisting takeover of his own company by AIM. Tony tried frequently to persuade Wei to join the board of the then Stark International and eventually he arranged to meet for breakfast with the Zhong family.This was at the time when Tony was a recovering alcoholic and fighting the 1st Armour Wars to reclaim his tech from multiple villains (ie #225-232 of the original series in real-world 1987-88). This issue shows Iron Man and James Rhodes in a 1-man helicopter taking down a bunch of those villains called the Raiders who damage Zhong's company base. (It's a very different scenario for the 'same' encounter in #226.) And the next morning he did seal the deal with Wei at breakfast.Now Rhodey meets him as War Machine and they fly to Stark Unlimited's New York HQ where they break in to the seemingly-deserted place. IM's AI BOSS interrogates the site's computer system to identify the largest project initiated in the last month and they find a containment tube (not translucent like such things usually are). Last issue he'd learned that Arthur Parks (Living Laser) had been abducted by men working for 'Tony Stark' and taken to SU where he was imprisoned and experimented on. They detect no lifesigns within the metal tube, and Tony expects it to be a Life-Model Decoy of himself.But when they break it open it contains an Iron Man armour which immediately attacks them. Between them they defeat it by freezing it with a liquid nitrogen spray. However when they open the faceplate they do find Tony's face looking back at them which starts to talk to them. The voice tells them that Zhong's shares were transferred to a charity before he died and the charity sold them on. The voice says it now owns Stark Unlimited and all its assets, and then the suit self-destructs.Tony then tells Jim that he's worked out who's behind all this. And that Rhodey should keep out of it from now on because he's going to cause an international incident.

The autobiography of Tony Stark, chapter 1
This 1st issue of a new series is half a review of Tony Stark's history, including where the last series left him, and the other half a setup for the new ongoing plot.It starts of course with creating the 1st clunky grey Iron Man armour in a cave during an unnamed conflict with help from unnamed Prof Yinsen. It mentions his deceased father Howard Stark and the highly successful Stark Industries, and we glimpse a more familiar armour, butler Jarvis, James Rhodes, his drinking and 1 of a succession of girlfriends/dates. Then we wander through his alcoholism, letting the Avengers use Stark Mansion but then having to sell it, his ultra-modern Malibu house being destroyed, losing Stark/Avengers Tower and (last series) divesting himself of his company Stark Unlimited. He now lives in an apartment in a New York brownstone which he owns. He's still an Avenger and he's still inventing stuff and enjoying what his protege Riri Williams/Ironheart is doing as a superhero scientist. But lately (the closing arc of last series) he's spent what remains of his fortune buying up dangerous super-weapons to keep them safe in a warehouse known only to Rhodey (and unmentioned Bethany Cabe).We see Stark recently attending the 2nd Hellfire Gala (in its own 1-shot) where he met up with Emma Frost and Feilong (Kevin Heng), billionaire head of Feilong Industries. Feilong's plans to colonise Mars (which he had altered his body to survive on) had been ruined when the mutant nation on Krakoa island announced (at the 1st Gala) that *they* had claimed Mars and renamed it Arakko. Since then (in the current X-Men series) he has joined their foes Orchis and taken the moon Phobos. He blames the Avengers for abandoning Mars (after their 2012 series).We also see Tony at work in his brownstone basement lab on the Model 70 armour, the only 1 he has left, carried over from the previous series. (He *does* mention another armour, but it might only be the knight's armour in the background.) We also see a large working arc reactor ... which suddenly explodes, wrecking much of the building.Now the story really begins.As Stark is taken away by paramedics he hears that 1 of his neighbours died in the explosion. Next he wakes in a hospital bed surrounded by Rhodey, Riri and Captain America (Steve Rogers). He claims that the reactor was corrupted by an outside agency, but Rhodey and Riri say they found no evidence of that. And even if there was no fault in the reactor design he'll be blamed for having a dangerous power source in a residential building.Tony declines the offer to stay with Rhodey because he's convinced somebody's out to get him. He pays for the dead neighbour's funeral and sets out to avenge her. He tells his attorney Jennifer Walters (She-Hulk) to pay all claims even though she can show some of them are fraudulent. If he hasn't got enough money he'll have to invent something to make more. He has to admit that *he* couldn't find something wrong with the arc reactor, and he'd even called Reed Richards in to help.He relocates his lab and stuff to an abandoned cab depot in Jersey City. He completes his repairs to the Mark 70 armour and takes it for a test flight as Iron Man. He asks his AI BOSS to find suitable cheap apartments for him to look at. But it can't find 1 he can afford with a sky roof exit nearer than Ohio.Suddenly he's attacked in midair by an armoured foe who punches him into an office building. As the inhabitants complain Tony suddenly knows how Spider-Man feels. He jets out and accuses his assailant of blowing up his home and killing his neighbour. A modulation-disguised voice says that he did that himself, and also claims just to be a messenger. Who now throws IM through the tail of a helicopter. The Golden Avenger grabs the truncated tail to stop the chopper from falling. Then he swings the copter round so the rotor blades shatter against his foe. He fires missiles which gunk-up the bad guy's armour, and then he safely deposits the copter on the Daily Bugle roof. The occupants of course blame *him*.Now he returns to his foe and drives him down to the ground. The voice claims he's going to kill Riri, but 1st wants to know if the teen is his ward or his girlfriend - "You never can tell with you capitalist pigs". Stark deduces that the armour is a remotely-operated drone and is about to smash it with his repulsors when something makes him hesitate. Instead he freezes the helmet's faceplate with liquid nitrogen which cracks it and allows him to remove it. Revealing that the armour has a human occupant who's sedated and intubated. Facial recognition identifies him as a man who was kidnapped 2 days ago. And a scan shows that the armour is laced with plastic explosive. He tells BOSS to jam any incoming signals and rips the man free and flies him away just before the suit explodes.He takes the victim to hospital but notices that the stock price of his old company is plummeting. The remains of the man's armour yield no useful evidence. Tony eats a Chinese takeaway with a root beer in the ruins of his old apartment. He goes to an AA meeting but leaves without speaking rather than put *them* at risk. Then he seems to get drunk in a pub and staggers out to trip over some pavement uprooted by a tree. More staggering leaves him puking then collapsed in a pile of rubbish. With passers-by recording it all on their phones.

If I only had a heart
Tony Stark has been allied with the X-Men against Orchis and his own foe Feilong. His part of the conflict culminated in a battle in #16-18 between Iron Man in his new mysterium-based Model 72 armour and his giant Sentinel Buster against Feilong in his War Machine Sentinel armour and his army of Iron Sentinels. With the help of Magneto Tony won.But much earlier Feilong and Orchis framed Tony's pal James Rhodes for murder. Tony sent villains Living Laser and Sandman to watch over him in jail, along with his miniaturised original War Machine armour. Last issue the 3 broke jail.Now we catch up with War Machine entering the Bar With No Name in New York, infamous watering hole for supervillains (and some not-so-super ones). The clientele are watching J Jonah Jameson complaining on TV that no superheroes are stepping up to the mark to fight Orchis who are slaughtering mutants. Rhino is complaining to Turk that some of his best buds are evil mutants. Then WM steps in and asks them to join the war. He steps out of his armour to lower his threat level and suggests that when Orchis has finished with the mutants they'll be coming after the rest of the super-community. Turk says they only fight for money, and they know Stark is broke (since he spent all his money buying up dangerous super-weapons in his previous series). Rhodey tells them that he has the keys to the cache of those weapons and he can hand them out. And he has Laser and Sandman to vouch that the deal is legit. And the villains are in. At this point Jim notices that the armour has automatically cut his hair for him, but has given him the look he had when he wore it (for us that's early 90's).We see WM leading his armed troops into battle against Iron Sentinels. Sandman asks where Iron Man is, and Rhodey has to admit he doesn't know. For this battle scene we get Tony Stark's narration back, taken supposedly from the autobiography he will have written after the series ends. It reminds us that Feilong stole the Iron Man tech to create these Sentinels (after he took over Stark Unlimited which Tony had given up control of in the previous series).Then it lets us know that IM is currently fighting Orchis in Los Angeles. As we learned last issue the AIs in Orchis have taken over, and apparently MODOK has turned all Orchis soldiers into monsters who are now terrorising humans. Stark stops 1 of them from attacking 2 bikini-clad femmes who are recording for the Internet on their phone on a stand. He tells the pair to run but they insist on stopping for their phone setup and have to fight the monster for it. Tony gets distracted by a message from Vision welcoming him back (he's been out of contact for the last 3 issues). He has to save the women again by hitting the monster with their phone. Which they are very unhappy about.Vision then alerts him to an attack by 2 Sentinels on the nearby San Onofre nuclear plant, decomissioned but still containing nuclear material. He takes 1 down with missiles and the other by knocking its head off. Then he learns of villains using weapons from his cache and zooms off to NY to investigate. He sees Stilt-Man firing ray guns, the Bar waitress controlling a Spider-Slayer robot (the original that Jameson used against Spider-Man which displayed his face), someone (I think it's Living Laser) riding Hawkeye's Sky-Cycle) and Sandman just being Sandman, fighting Sentinels and monsters.Iron Man lands in front of War Machine and the 2 men step out of their armours to talk man-to-man. After banter about his old hairstyle and Rhodey responding that in the same situation Tony would have wound up with a mullet, they discuss Jim being left to languish in prison. Tony claims that he didn't have it easy either, but Jim points to a newspaper headline lying on the road about him and Emma Frost enjoying themselves. Tony offers Jim a free shot as long as it's not in the face, but that's where Rhodey punches him.They armour back up again and WM says he's planning to go to California and start up a new team of reformed villains. And the autobiography-over lets us know that IM will join him (in the next IM series?). And the battle continues.Later when the war is over Tony meets up with his fake-wife Emma Frost. He's leaving the now-boarded-up Hellfire Club (where he'd been based for the last half of this series) bringing his temporary grey Mark Nil armour in a briefcase. Apparently all the top dogs of Orchis have been killed or captured, but the organisation is still around. Emma remarks that Magneto left Feilong with Iron Man for him to deal with (last issue). We get a flashback revealing what he did with him, which was bury him alive in a coffin (possibly his enhanced body can survive forever).

The river
Feilong and Orchis have taken over Tony Stark's company and his Iron Man armours. As part of their plot against the mutant nation on Krakoa he's created giant Iron Sentinels. Tony appears to have given up and become the Black King of the Hellfire Club and 'married' his secretary Hazel Kendall. But she is really Emma Frost of the X-Men and he is building new Mark 72 armour with the 'mutant metal' mysterium. They also sent Ironheart and Forge to get the Asgardian Dwarves to build a fleet of mysterium spacecraft.Last issue they let Orchis 'discover' that the fleet was heading for the Australian Outback and Feilong is going to send all the Sentinels there. But meanwhile others in Orchis have sent a revived Weapon X corpse to kill Stark.Also throughout this series we've had a voiceover from Tony's autobiography describing the events. Now that voiceover tells us that he's sent a draft of the book to his editors in an email attachment locked for a year, in case he dies in the upcoming battle. The voiceover that continues now must just be Tony's current thoughts.We see the new armour from the back with machines continuing to work on it as Tony walks past with a present he's made for his 'wife'. He ponders on the fact that their marriage was fake but is getting realer every day (as we saw last issue). But when he enters her apartment in the Club he finds her with a hair stylist and dressed as her X-Men ID White Queen, ready for the final showdown with Orchis. He hands her the box with the present but we don't see what's inside. He follows her outside to her waiting limo and she kisses him with what bitter experience tells him is a goodbye kiss.As she's driven off he hears a cry from within the Club. Inside he finds someone killing Hellfire Knights. The face is completely masked by a helmet but the hands extrude claws so he knows he's facing some form of Wolverine. Stark throws a bottle of some alcoholic drink at him followed by a candelabra which sets him alight. The 72 armour hasn't got a neural interface yet (to avoid Orchis' detection) so Stark will have to go to it. The adamantium skeleton follows him but the White King (Wilson Fisk) appears and tosses him his mysterium cane. Stark manages to fend the enemy off for a bit but is soon disarmed and his chest slashed open.Luckily White Queen has come back for something she forgot and now tackles the 'Wolverine' in her diamond form. Tony limps off to get his armour, but he knows the foe might have info from Feilong including Stark's contingency plans to deal with the most dangerous mutants. We see that the assassin has found the inhibitor that Tony gave her to hide her from Orchis. It puts the ring on her finger which cancels her powers. And her body turns from diamond to flesh.But then Stark bursts up through the floor in the Model 72 Iron Man armour, which we now see is black and red with bits of gold. 'Wolverine' plunges his claws into Stark's chest. Only for them to bend against the mysterium. And IM now crushes the adamantium skull.Emma removes her ring and is now back to diamond. She and Iron Man leave the (burning) Club. It turns out she came back for his present which she now puts on. They are gold-coloured knuckledusters with the words HELL and FIRE emblazoned on them. And we also discover they fire blasts which is useful when they are attacked by a Sentinel (alerted by her use of her powers). The combined fire of her and IM takes its head off. The Armoured Avenger then leaves her to continue her business. (Editorial comments say that Emma is off to rejoin the X-Men in Fall Of The House Of X #1, and Iron Man takes time out to fight Orchis with the Avengers in their forthcoming #12 before continuing with the rest of this issue.)Stark makes sure Orchis can track him joining the 5 mysterium spaceships in Australia. He's gambled that Feilong will want be personally responsible for his destruction by sending all his Sentinels against him and the ships. And indeed the villain has all the Sentinels converging on the spot. But then he and Dr Stasis realise what is really happening but it's too late. The ships aren't ships and there are no mutants from Arakko/Mars in them. Feilong rushes to climb into the cockpit of his backup plan, a giant grey armour with big guns called the War Machine Sentinel, and he heads for Australia.There we see flying Iron Sentinels converging on the new Iron Man. But the 5 mysterium 'ships' combine and transform around him into an extremely large Iron Man suit/weapon/craft he calls the Sentinel Buster.

The autobiography of Tony Stark, chapter 4
Feilong (Kevin Heng) relates the initial part of this issue. He reminds us how (in the early issues of Avengers (2013)) some aliens (named Abyss and Ex Nihilo) terraformed Mars. But he tells us that humanity never took advantage of that and let Mars die again. So *he* planned to reclaim the planet for Homo Sapiens, and he altered his body to survive on Mars as it is and his company built rockets to transport people and equipment there. But before he could act the mutant nation of Krakoa claimed it and regreened it as Arakko.  But now he's ready to strike back at our mutant 'overlords'.Now Tony Stark takes over the narration as part of the 'autobiography' that this series claims to be. He recalls various bad times in his life:- The car crash that killed his (adoptive) parents. The bomb that embedded shrapnel near his heart. Discovering his armour tech was being used by supervillains. Fighting Dr Doom in Latveria. This morning when his current adversary came out of the shadows and publicly challenged him.Now he heads to the New York Stock Exchange (as Iron Man) and enters (as Tony Stark). Inside Feilong is announcing his takeover of Stark Unlimited and promising to work with the (mutant-hating) Orchis organisation (here represented by Nimrod and Dr Stasis) to protect humanity. He welcomes the attendance of Stark, who responds by accusing him of being responsible for the deaths of his neighbour Marielle Marcus and his friend Zhong Wei. Feilong claims not to know what he's talking about and initiates celebrations.Later Feilong gives a press interview where he reminds folks that Stark relinquished control of his company (at the beginning of the previous series) so now he's bought it to make it great again. He challenges Stark to stop him. Tony reminds him what happened to previous people who took over his company:- Obadiah Stane - suicide. Justin Hammer - lost in space. Justine Hammer - killed by her daughter Sasha. He himself was almost killed by the bomb mentioned earlier. Someone suggests that they could fight for ownership. Feilong says Stark would lose, but Tony dares him to take the challenge.Tony is surprised when his opponent follows him outside, and realises that he doesn't really know what Feilong can do. So he lets the villain rant while he sizes him up. Feilong advises Stark to give up because he's outdated. As Tony's armour assembles around him he goads Feilong that he should be fighting someone easier like Toad or Blob (some of the X-Men's earliest foes). Feilong responds that he doesn't know who they are because he *isn't* outdated. When Tony closes his helmet his voice changes to that of Iron Man as he suggests that his foe took over Stark Unlimited because the X-Men of Krakoa were too much for him. Feilong parries that with a claim that the mutants have already ensured their own defeat (as we will presumably see in the upcoming Fall Of X event).Tony thinks to himself that Feilong has already mentioned abandonment (which I don't think he has) and he knows that the man is estranged from his parents, so he gets under the overconfident opponent's skin by saying that he at least knows where his father is (which 1, dead Howard Stark or his real dad Hydra Agent Jude?). It works because Feilong opens his mouth and blasts him (an ability he gave himself in XM (2021) #6). The foe recovers his poise to speak to all the mobile phones that are currently recoding him. He tells them that his business suit is actually an advanced armour of his own so he's ready to fight Iron Man if that's what the public want. IM demonstrates that for him by firing a repulsor blast which the suit shrugs off.Shellhead switches tactics and blasts open a fire hydrant which washes his enemy off his feet. He follows it up with 2 rockets which knock him down again, and then uproots a parking meter to use as a weapon(!?). He again accuses Feilong of killing his friend Zhong Wei, saying he doesn't have many friends to spare. The other responds with his own jibe, that Stark's (real) parents abandoned him to an orphanage while *he* discarded his parents because they were holding him back. Donning (presumably armoured) gloves he challenges Stark to fight for his company and humanity. Join him and Orchis in the war against mutants and he can have SU back. He even offers to salve Stark's ego by letting it appear that Stark beats him. Stark's response is to 'stress test' Feilong's armour by using the meter as a bat to send him flying through the air over a nearby building.While flying after his enemy Tony muses that he got too involved in Avengery things like fighting Frost Giants and Celestials and didn't notice the rise of this new business opponent. He catches Feilong before he hits the ground but then 'accidentally' tosses him at the nearby Charging Bull statue, narrowly missing the horns. He fires a hail of non-lethal bullets which Feilong barely deflects with a force shield.He then creates a force field sphere which his thoughts tell us will shut down any recording devices within it so they can have a private conversation. He opens his faceplate to speak in his normal voice and tells his beaten foe that he understands his anger that the mutants 'stole' Mars from him, and that he somehow thinks Stark once 'owned' the planet. But he's not going to let Stark U and his old tech be used as weapons. And he should know that even Stane and Hammer were wise enough not to harm his friends or family. He doesn't want to kill Feilong so he suggests he confess to the police about blowing up his brownstone (killing his neighbour), and killing Zhong Wei for his SU stock. Feilong refuses and tries to punch Tony in his exposed face. Stark responds by crushing his hand, and recommends SU's health plan. He then jets off before he does anything worse. Feilong laughs to himself that he finally has a worthy opponent.We cut to the law offices of Jen Walters (She-Hulk). She phones Tony to say that SU's lawyers are coming after the Iron Man tech. She suggests that he hire a specialist intellectual property lawyer.Iron Man meanwhile is out of Earth's atmosphere. It gives Tony a chance to calm down and meditate. It's also an efficient way to let the planet's rotation bring his destination to him.On Krakoa Island Emma Frost (White Queen) is relaxing with a cocktail when Armor (Hisako Ichiki) informs her that an unknown entity is approaching from space and X-Force are ready to deal with it. Emma orders them to stand down because she's been expecting this visitor for some time. Iron Man hovers before her and suggests they combine forces against a common enemy. (Probably he hovers because he knows that it is forbidden for non-mutants to set foot on the island.)

The autobiography of Tony Stark, chapter 2
Tony Stark is lying wasted on some binbags in Hell's Kitchen while passersby upload the view to social media. Ironheart has come flying in her armour to see what's up. She detects that his heartbeat is erratic and starts to fly him to a hospital but he insists she take him to his armour instead. He directs her to the abandoned cab depot in Jersey City he currently calls home. On the way they renew their argument (from the end of the previous series) about her keeping Mandarin's Rings.When they get there he puts on his chestplate and his AI BOSS starts his pacemaker, and then begins countering a toxin in his bloodstream. Tony has a rest in his hammock and reminds Riri Williams how he spent his fortune (last series) buying up deadly super-weapons and storing them in a warehouse, which is where the Rings should be. Riri says she's got them safe.We see the villain behind Tony's problems watching the news reports on alcoholic Stark being found drunk. The person appears to have red skin like Stark's business rival Feilong who was mentioned last issue (or maybe that's just what we're *supposed* to think). The news reports also cover the lawsuits he's settling over his previous brownstone residence blowing up, and other stuff that happened last issue. And at Stark Unlimited, the company he retired from, the CEO he left behind, Andy Bhang, is giving a press conference which is interrupted by Living Laser demanding to see Tony Stark, his 'jailer'!Tony's also watching that press conference, and Riri helps him out of the hammock and into the rest of his Iron Man armour so they can both fly there. But on the way they change course when they hear reports that LL has gone to the old Avengers Mansion (which is now a theme hotel). They get there to find him defacing the head of the IM figure in the statue of the original Avengers.They confront Arthur Parks who again accuses Stark of holding him prisoner and experimenting on him. Maybe the experiments boosted his power because he easily dismisses Ironheart and takes down the Golden Avenger, even slicing off half of his faceplate. Tony protests his innocence, saying someone's framing him as part of a big scheme. IH rejoins the fight but LL's lasers cut into her armour too, so she takes the gauntlets off to reveal the Mandarin Rings on her fingers. She commands Art to stop fighting and then invades his mind to discover the truth, which she displays for Tony to see ...... Parks was living in an empty penthouse he'd broken into in a building that was used by money launderers. Tony Stark knocked at his door and tasered him. He was sedated by Stark's Goons and taken to a secret lab at Stark's company.Stark says that wasn't him. He doesn't know how long Parks has been imprisoned but he no longer has a company or goons to command. And the object of the exercise was probably to get Laser to do exactly what he's just done. Meanwhile Riri uses the Rings to mends Shellhead's statue. Arthur is now convinced of their story and leaves, asking them to include him in a team-up when they find out who's behind it all.The 2 heroes return to Stark's pad where he mends his faceplate. And we finally get confirmation that Tony hadn't been drunk but poisoned. He figures it was in the coffee a stranger gave him at an AA meeting (end of last issue). He also assumes this is all about getting Stark Unlimited's stock price to fall so someone can buy out the company. But his old rivals Obadiah Stane and Justin Hammer are dead.Riri leaves but Tony's voiceover tells us he has insurance against such a takeover. An old friend Zhong Wei has enough stock in the company to frustrate such a move. But we see that the man in question is dead with a large hole burned through his chest.

If I only had a heart
Tony Stark and Feilong had a fight in the Australian Outback. On 1 side TS in his new Iron Man Model 72 armour inside the giant Model 73 Sentinel Buster armour/robot, both mysterium-based. On the other side F in his new War Machine Sentinel armour with a horde of big Iron Sentinel robots. The Sentinel Buster destroyed a lot of the Sentinels but Feilong crashed the WMS into it and the SB lost all power. Last issue the 2 men fought inside the Buster. But then Feilong discovered that the anti-mutant organisation Orchis that he belonged to had now been taken over by its AI contingent Nimrod and Omega Sentinel which had expanded their remit from killing mutants (and other super-chars) to killing all humans (as seen in other issues in the Fall Of The House Of X event). And the just-resurrected Magneto turned up to help them.But we start this issue following another thread. James Rhodes has been in prison since Feilong/Orchis framed him for murder (#7). In #12 Tony sent his friend a special medallion. Now 2 Orchis agents arrive in the jail to kill him. Rhodey clicks the medallion and an old version of his War Machine armour (shrunk by Pym particles) expands to shield him from the hail of bullets. When they pause to reload he gets into the armour, breaks out of his cell and knocks them out. Pausing only to humiliate the sadistic warden he flies away carrying a police car with Living Laser and Sandman in it (who had been sent to the prison to protect him in #10).Inside the Sentinel Buster Feilong accuses Magneto of stealing Mars from him (and renaming it Arakko as a new home for mutants). Magneto honestly doesn't know who he is. Tony explains the current situation and Magneto says he destroyed the remaining Sentinels outside (but we already know that the Orchis AIs have many more, even more than Feilong knew about). Magneto proposes that they go destroy the secret Sentinel factories. Stark winces from an injury (by a Wolverine clone in #15) but agrees. Feilong says he knows where they are. Magneto says he can provide the SB with power.We see the Sentinel Buster destroying fully automated factories in New South Wales and Tokyo. Then Nimrod arrives to stop them and disables the giant robot. But the fight wrecks a bit of a maglev track in front of an approaching train, so Stark exits in his IM armour to support the train as it passes over. Feilong faces Nimrod with his artificial mutant power (a green energy blast from his mouth). Magneto levitates the giant head of the SB and wraps it around the AI. Nimrod responds by squirting Terrigen Mist (toxic to mutants) at him, but IM is in time to freeze it and turn it to liquid. The AI breaks out of the head but But Erik Lehnsherr discovers that mysterium (which was discovered while he was dead) is especially suitable for his magnetic manipulation as he sends a spear of it through the foe's chest. And Stark points out that it is a perfect electric conductor as he grabs it and channels an enormous amount of energy down it. But Nimrod survives that so Magneto sends pliable tendrils of mysterium to infiltrate its body and wreck it from the inside. However as it dies it tells them that Nimrod has many bodies.Erik says that the mysterium has died as well, before he leaves to fight other versions of the robot (in Fall Of The House Of X #5). But not before handcuffing Feilong in ordinary metal. And Iron Man punches his face in revenge for the people he murdered along the path of this series.

Splash damage
It's time for Iron Man and the mutants to fight back against Feilong and Orchis in 1 do-or-die combined assault. Last issue Tony Stark and his 'wife' Emma Frost split up. As Emma went to rejoin the X-Men fighting Orchis, Tony headed for the Australian outback in his new mysterium-based Mark 72 armour, luring all Feilong's Iron Sentinels there. IM rendezvoused with the 5 mysterium-based 'spaceships' that Ironheart and Forge had created but they turned Transformer and combined into a giant IM armour, dwarfing the 30-foot Sentinels, called the Mark 73 Sentinel Buster with IM inside as pilot.Now the battle commences with the Sentinel Buster destroying Sentinels with giant fists and an array of weapons. The Sentinels, based on Stark's own designs, are proof against any attacks except brute force. In mid-fight Feilong himself turns up in his War Machine Sentinel. Tony knew his ego wouldn't let him stay away. But as the battle continued Stark realised that he'd underestimated just how many Sentinels there were and he knew he'd wouldn't be able to destroy them all before the Mark 73 ran out of power. Covered in a swarm of Sentinels like ants he slams the Buster into the ground.Then he leaves it to fight on in auto-pilot and taunts Feilong to meet the Mark 72 1-on-1. The War Machine's weapons prove extremely powerful, and only the mysterium armour allows Iron Man to survive. The Buster grabs armoured Feilong but he smashes a fist into its chest as Stark re-enters it to take control. The Sentinel Buster seizes up and falls over with half the Iron Sentinels still active.

Patron saint
Feilong took over Stark Unlimited after Tony Stark left it and has used its tech to build giant mutant-hunting Sentinels for Orchis to help them drive most of the Krakoan mutant nation off Earth. He has banned Stark from using the *company*'s Iron Man tech and has framed Tony's pal James Rhodes for murder of an employee at an SU Sentinel factory. Tony has teamed up with Wilson Fisk (who wants his missing mutant wife Typhoid Mary back) to head the Hellfire Club. He's also working with the few remaining X-Men, especially Emma Frost who has transferred her fortune to Fisk, who is financing broke Stark to create a new Mark 72 armour in the Club. As part of the smokescreen Tony has pretended to marry Emma in her non-mutant alias Hazel Kendal, and she's given him some of the mutant metal mysterium for the armour.But this issue starts with She-Hulk in the Fortbend County Courthouse, Richmond, Texas where she's defending Rhodey. She claims to have proved that he couldn't have killed the victim at the factory when he was there and was arrested after destroying Sentinels (#7) because the victim used his mobile phone from his home later, and the phone was found on his body. This means that the coroner's time of death must be in error and he was killed later, and so Rhodes should be acquitted. Opposing council suggests that someone else could have used the phone and asks it to be left to the jury decision.Next we see angry Shulk smashing up her rental car outside the courtroom.In Manhattan Stark is flying in his current black & white stealth armour Mark Nil, sneaking up on an Iron Sentinel and planting a tracker as part of his plan to monitor all of them.He then goes as Tony to the Hellfire Club and enters his secret lab where he finds Fisk waiting to hear about progress on his investment. Tony is expecting a visitor Riri Williams but she's barred at the door by 'Hazel Kendal' who doesn't know who she is. And Riri doesn't know that Hazel is the psi-mutant Emma Frost so she tries to use the power of Mandarin's Rings (see #2 and the previous series) to mentally influence her to be let in. Emma uses X-Men mental training to resist and removes her mutant inhibitor 'wedding' ring to engage Riri in a psychic battle. Riri now recognises her foe and, still suspicious, suits up as Ironheart (in the mental arena).Emma taking off her ring sets off a mutant detector alarm that Fisk had allowed Orchis to install to avoid suspicion. The 2 men go to the front door and see the 2 women frozen in mental conflict. A Sentinel is sure to be on the way so Fisk uses his cane to break his own nose and starts shouting that Mystique just broke in and tried to kill him. On the mental plane White Queen informs Ironheart of the likely situation and says they must stop fighting as she rips Riri's armour apart. Riri agrees but gets in a slap with an armoured hand before they both wake to reality.But a Sentinel is already there declaring that Emma Frost has been detected. Riri suits up for real, as does Tony. WQ switches to her diamond form and tells Ironheart to throw her at the enemy. She and Iron Man attack the Iron Sentinel, closely followed by IH. None of them are having much effect until Riri says she's got the 'special order' Tony asked for. She fires Pym Particles at the IS which shrinks it small enough that they can stomp it to death.Emma replaces her inhibitor ring which reduces her to non-mutant Hazel again. The emergency services arrive along with a TV reporter. Fisk plays up the property damage caused by the battle and blames it on mutants. Hazel and Riri shake hands. Tony takes Riri and the remaining Pym Particles to his lab where he shows her (but not us) what he's working on, and what he needs the Pym Particles for. They also discuss a plan they have for her to build ships out of mysterium. Tony says there's nowhere safe on Earth to do it so she'll have to go 'up there' and coordinate with Eitri.Bur before she goes the conspirators get together for a Thanksgiving dinner. Captain America and his Avengers Unity Squad are there (at least we see Deadpool, Quicksilver and Rogue) as are available X-Men (we see Ms Marvel, Synch and Talon (Laura Kinney)). Plus there are 2 figures visible but not distinguishable by me.Lastly we see Jim Rhodes still in jail. A guard gives him a present from his lawyer which he believes is a St Leonard medal, the patron saint of prisoners. But when Rhodey looks he sees that the 'saint' is wearing armour, and he grins and calls it a St Anthony medal.

You can't stay at a party too long if you don't go to the party
Feilong (Kelvin Heng) has taken over Stark Unlimited and used its tech to build Iron Sentinels, the latest version of the mutant-hunting giant robots, for the Orchis organisation. His scheming has also reduced Tony Stark to living in an abandoned cab firm office. Last issue War Machine (and secretly Tony in new stealth armour) destroyed the Stark Sentinel factory (but Orchis secretly has many more). Orchis retaliated by killing the foreman who led the evacuation of its work force, and leaving his body in the ruins so that James Rhodes would be arrested for his murder. And Orchis have several more strings to their anti-mutant bow, and all are being unleashed at the mutant nation's latest Hellfire Gala which is happening alongside this issue.Now Stark his consulting his attorney Jennifer Walters (She-Hulk) about his problems. She's working on getting Rhodey out of jail but it'll take time. Meanwhile she tells him that Feilong now owns the patents on the Iron Man armour and has issued a cease and desist order to stop Tony using it. He'd have to invent a new armour to use instead (which luckily he has, the aforementioned stealth suit). Or he could move his base of operations to another country, say the mutant nation's Krakoa island - she's going to the Gala later and could try to arrange it.Outside Tony tries to ignore the 'Stark Sentinels' patrolling the skies of New York, to mass approval. He returns to his cab company base and arranges for it to be sold - he needs the money for Rhodey's legal fees. He prepares to surrender the Model 70 armour, and muses that he'll have to use the stealth armour on Captain Marvel's new Avengers team.But then he gets an Avengers alert about the mutant hero Captain Krakoa attacking the Senate Building in Washington DC (as seen in the Uncanny Avengers prequel in Free Comic Book Day 2023: Avengers/X-Men). So he dons the armour for 1 last ride. As he sets out he hears that Carol Danvers and the other Avengers are leaving the Gala to respond, and he gets another alert from Captain America (Steve Rogers) on the Brooklyn Bridge (FCBD again) so he diverts to there. But he arrives to find it's all over. Rogue had arrived from the Gala to help Cap against Orchis troops who attacked him (including planting plastic explosive on his motorbike). So now the trio do head to Washington. But they get there too late for that too.When IM returns to NY later that night he spots an Iron Sentinel breaking through a window high in an office building and reaching in for Emma Frost/White Queen. Stark uses 1 of the weapons he installed after Armour Wars - a projectile that clogs up the hovering giant's boot jets causing it to crash to the ground. Inside the room Tony is astonished to find Emma with the villain Wilson Fisk/Kingpin (in gaudy Gala togs) signing an agreement. Frost is angry with our hero because 'his' Sentinels have just murderously attacked the Hellfire Gala. Stark retorts that he warned her about Feilong and them (the previous Gala and our #5).But a Sentinel now knocks the Golden Avenger down from where he's hovering outside the broken window and 2 of them face White Queen. Kingpin makes a strategic exit while she speaks to Feilong through his puppets and threatens him with retribution. But he tells her what humanity is being told happened at the Gala. The Krakoans had poisoned the medical drugs they've handed out. The human ambassadors at the party confronted them about it and the mutants killed them. Mutant leaders like herself now have Interpol arrest warrants.WQ turns into her diamond form to be impervious to Sentinel attack, but 1 of them picks her up and throws her down to the street to join recovered Iron Man. Where they are confronted by 3 Sentinels. Both hero(in)es offer to cover them while the other escapes. Stark thinks they're after the IM armour, Frost thinks they're after *her*. Shellhead settles the argument by flying her to a nearby subway station and then returns to the fight. Emma drops her diamond form to mentally tell him she's going to bring what remains of the X-Men to help him.But IM gets immediately smashed between fists of 2 Sentinels and falls barely conscience but thinking "Help me". Emma rushes back to the site while entering his mind. She locates 'him' in his mind without his armour in a snow-covered alleyway littered with empty beer bottles. And she takes control of his mind to control his body and the Iron Man suit. Her 1st attempt accidentally fires a missile at a nearby building. Her 2nd go jets him horizontally out from under a large repulsor blast. Meanwhile she desperately tries to get Tony to wake up as the Sentinels notice her body.1 of them grabs her and affixes an inhibitor collar around her neck to nullify her powers. Tony wakes and sheds his armour to surrender and ask them not to kill Emma but give her a fair trial. The watching Feilong gets the Sentinel to loose her. She's harmless now and he prefers to have her in the Randall's Island gulag where he can 'drill into her head'. Tony asks her why she abandoned her invulnerable diamond form. She explains that she can't use her mental powers in that form. He thanks her for saving him. Emma claims it was pure self-interest because the bad guys would doubtless have killed him and blamed her for his death.But Tony decides to balance the books by telling his armour to enclose her and fly her to safety. Which is what happens to Feilong's angry dismay. Stark then taunts him to use the Sentinels to kill him. Because killing a defenceless Avenger in the street will surely earn swift deadly vengeance from his comrades.

On 42nd Street...
Iron Man arrives in Times Square, discovering that this is the period when Obadiah Stane had control of Stark’s company. Misty Knight and Colleen Wing are angry to see him as they had a deal to stay out of each other’s way, which Tony realizes must have been made with Rhodey who is Iron Man at this time. And they reveal that Tony Stark had hired them to hunt down some missing prototypes and, to avoid complicating Rhodey’s actions, he takes off, ditches the armor and proceeds as Tony Stark. He visits Heroes for Hire to have Luke Cage and Iron Fist accompany him to Times Square to recover the next part of the time machine. What Tony doesn’t realize is that Luke and Danny think he’s an impostor as Danny saw Stark the previous night and he was heavier and beardless, though his fingerprints check out. They all head to the electronics shop where the component is supposed to be—but the proprietor is the Terrible Tinkerer and he has the Scorpion attack the heroes. While the two Heroes battle Scorpion, Tony dons the armor and pursues Tinkerer, bringing him back and welding him into an elevator cage. Tony also tells the Heroes how to disable the Scorpion suit and it freezes the baddie in his tracks. The tracking device leads Iron Man to the Gem Theater, run by D.W. Griffith, and Misty and Colleen are already there. The component is part of a cache of tech the ladies swiped from the Tinkerer while the battle distracted everyone. Later, Tony steals money from Stane’s ATM account to pay Heroes for Hire and then takes off but a suspicious Cage follows him in time to see him vanish from an alleyway….2nd story“Johnny Storm, Super-Star”Writer: Elliott Kalan. Pencils: Ron Frenz. Inks: Sal Buscema. Colors: John Kalisz. Letters: Jared K. Fletcher.Tony Stark lands in a Central Park fountain where he is attacked and captured by robot thugs. He awakens to find himself a prisoner of Doctor Doom, who knows he has some of Doom’s time machine tech with him. Tony pretends to be a stupid playboy who doesn’t really understand what the tech is for. Doom takes the case with the already-recovered components and Tony finds the next one but he knows that when he touches it, he will be teleported to the next piece he needs to obtain, so he needs to get the case back from Doom. He escapes, discovers he was in the basement of the Latverian Embassy, locates a storehouse and puts on a better armor (with a nose). He then flies to the Baxter Building to find Reed Richards. But only Johnny Storm, the Human Torch, is home. He explains the problem and Johnny agrees to go with him; next door to the Embassy is a hot nightclub called Secret Identities, where dressing like a superhero is common. Once there, they run into that era’s Tony Stark, who is drunk and doesn’t want to be bothered when he’s with a hot girl, especially by someone he assumes is just another guy in a homemade Iron Man armor. So Torch burns a tunnel into the Embassy next door, they fight robots, and Doom arrives with his latest time machine. The battle takes them to Tunguska in 1908, the Battle of Gettysburg, Pompeii in A.D. 79, and to prehistoric times. There the fight gets out of hand and Iron Man saves Torch’s life and they bring the time engine back to the present, stranding Doom back then. Tony realizes that he can use this new time engine to stop Birch before anything happens but Johnny hands him all of the components and Shellhead fades out to the location of the next part….

A Little Help from My Friends
Present Tony Stark has been sent back to the past and needs Past Tony Stark to help him reassemble Dr. Doom’s time platform to save the future from destruction (see IRON AGE: ALPHA) but drunken Past Tony refuses to believe that his visitor from the future isn’t the result of drunken delirium and just laughs it off. So Tony takes the obsolete (from his point of view) Iron Man armor and seeks the help of the Avengers. Startling the assembled Avengers (Captain Marvel (M. Rambeau), She-Hulk, Hawkeye, Starfox), since he recently quit, he pushes past them into a private meeting with Wasp, Thor, and Captain America. Tony tries to explain the situation to them but his clumsiness in the unfamiliar armor only convinces them he is drunk. They try to restrain him and a battle breaks out, Tony accidentally defeating his former colleagues. He escapes and they don’t follow him because a more urgent situation involving Ultron has arisen….His only recourse is to visit Hank Pym, who is angry with (that era’s) Tony for chasing after Janet. After getting a punch to the face, Tony is able to explain what is going on and Hank tentatively agrees to help Tony. He examines a piece of the time machine Tony grabbed as he came through and creates a tracking device to hunt down all the other pieces and discovers there is a part within Ultron. They return to where the Avengers are battling their Adamantium foe and Iron Man’s assistance is timely while Tony is able to guide Ant-Man into Ultron’s body to reach his molecular rearranger and melt Ultron into slag—while also recovering the part from the time machine. Put together, the two components glow and teleport Tony to the next piece—but he remains long enough to assure Hank that he will get through all of this…. 2nd story:-Panic on the Streets of LondonWriter: Rob Williams. Art: Ben Oliver. Colors: Veronica Gandini. Letters: Jared K. Fletcher.Tony Stark lands in a strange version of Great Britain, a totalitarian society run by Sir James Jaspers (a/k/a Mad Jim) where mutants and superhumans are being hunted down and imprisoned. Tony sees the Beetle security forces taken down by Captain Britain, who mistakes Iron Man for one of the baddies and slugs him, breaking the time locator. He and Captain Britain explain their respective situations to one another while repairing the device and Tony learns that the next component is in STRIKE (Britain’s equivalent to SHIELD but turned bad here) headquarters….Tony gets into STRIKE HQ with a simple ploy: he’s there as himself to sell Britain weapons. He meets with STRIKE head Vixen and knocks her out, heading to the location of the time machine part. It’s in an interrogation room and Tony discovers their prisoner is Douglas Birch; he toys briefly with the idea of killing him there and then to solve the main problem at its source but decides against it. He dons the Iron Man armor to fight his way out as Captain Britain arrives with rebel troops to fight their way in. As the uprising against the evil government begins, Iron Man heads to the next stop on his agenda….

The Iron Age Alpha
Aging mad scientist Dr. Donald Birch, living in an undersea lair, served by a staff of robots gives the order to launch several robots into the sky. Elsewhere, Tony Stark is hosting a charity event which is attended by Danny Rand and Luke Cage, the latter still resenting the role Stark played in the recent Civil War. While the three heroes are chatting, Birch’s robots arrive and easily take down Cage and Danny. Tony instantly dons his Iron Man armor but a sudden pulse from the robots disables the armor and they carry him off….Tony awakens in Birch’s undersea lair. Birch reveals who he is—the Phantom, from the earliest days of Stark International, and still hostile toward Tony for what he considers Tony’s theft of his work and the ruination of his career. Revealing he is dying of cancer, he tells Tony he has brought him there to watch his final revenge: having reconstructed Dr. Doom’s time machine from components scattered all over the world, he has his robotic minions bring Dark Phoenix from the past. The robots fire upon Phoenix, making her angry enough to—and Tony leaps to try to stop it—destroy the world. Which she does: the entire Earth explodes in a fireball….But Tony has fallen through the time platform to sometime in the past and he sees the platform dissolve behind him. He finds himself in a Manhattan alley with his shirt on fire in a pouring rain. Wrapping himself in a discarded blanket, he heads to his penthouse, passing an unsurprised guard, and enters to find an earlier Tony Stark, wearing the Iron Man armor, and drunk out of his mind….
