Synopsis for "Nothing's Gonna Touch You In These Golden Years"

Aunt May held Howard at gunpoint and demanded his wallet. When Howard threatened to use Quack-Fu, Aunt May knocked him unconscious by hitting him with her gun. Howard woke up in front of She-Hulk and Tara and Corson were also present. While walking home with She-Hulk, Howard learned that Aunt May stole the necklace he took from his time with the Guardians and that it was the tenth reported robbery by a senior citizen in the last two weeks. When he returned to his office, he found Jonathan Richards waiting for his necklace. Howard revealed what happened to the necklace, angering Jonathan, who knocked down Donna and gave him three days to recover it.

Three days later, Howard was going undercover among non-anthropomorphic ducks, who were being fed bread by park-goers. Shortly after Tara found him at the park, Howard spotted Aunt May and the duo confronted her. However, Aunt May did not remember robbing them. Tara suggested that someone must have been conditioning elders, including Aunt May, to commit crimes without any memory, so Howard suggested using her as bait for a plan. Spider-Man arrived in the park to rescue Aunt May, who was already gone.

The next day, Howard, Tara, and Aunt May were going undercover when they tailed an elderly man named Melvin to a warehouse used by the Ringmaster. After the Ringmaster ordered the brainwashed seniors to attack the intruders, Tara grabbed the necklace and Jonathan Richards entered the warehouse and punched the Ringmaster. Jonathan Richards claimed that he had no need for Howard anymore and revealed himself to be Talos the Untamed.

Synopsis for 2nd story

Howard was called to meet at RepliCapes, where he found impersonators of various heroes. The impersonators asked Howard to find the originals, who were missing. At RepliCape, Howard phoned an annoyed Spider-Man, who claimed that the real Wolverine was dead. Man-Bull attacked RepliCapes, but he was quickly defeated by a Punisher impersonator.

Later, Howard stood outside the sale of tickets for a New York Rangers game, next to Puck and Thing impersonators, and advertised his services.

Solicit Synopsis

• Howard’s big first case goes off the rails as he’s pulled into investigating a NYC crime spree!

• But this spree features a Very Special Guest Star!

• We’ll only give you one hint: they’re a Marvel Comics character who has “died” before! Hope that narrows it down for you, True Believer!

Trivia

  • Tara Tam mentions to have read somewhere that bread makes you fat after Howard retorts her comment that he had gained weight by mentioning he has only eaten bread. This is a reference to the graphic novel Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.
  • While going undercover as a senior citizen, Howard's codename was "Downey, Jr."
