—Tony StarkI spent fifty years building Stark Universal into the global juggernaut it is today. Fifty years battling bombs, bullies and buyouts. Only to have a more subtle enemy slip through my defenses when I wasn't looking. Time.

Synopsis for "The End"
Stark's final major project is the "Big Jump" a space elevator that will greatly reduce the cost of travel; however, failing health and sabotage by Roxxon in the form of the Ultra-Dynamo prove too much for him to handle. A young scientist named Nick Travis becomes Stark's successor as lead tech and soon after, Iron Man.
Solicit Synopsis
It's the middle decades of the 21st century. After a lifetime fighting crime, corporate evil and super-powered villainy as Iron Man, industrialist and inventor Tony Stark faces his biggest challenge ever: building the legacy he will leave humankind after he's gone. But when his world-changing project comes under attack, Tony must fight espionage and super-villainy once more... perhaps for the final time! The legendary Iron Man creative team of David Michelinie and Bob Layton teams with penciler Bernard Chang to tell the final story of Iron Man's life!
