Synopsis

"Alone Against A.I.M.!"
The Issue begins with Iron Man/Tony Stark having just escaped a deathtrap by the Maggia in time to save Jasper Sitwell from Whiplash when he is hit by A.I.M.'s Vortex Suction Beam and pulled through the hull of the ship they were on causing it to sink when A.I.M. disengages their submarine. Next Iron Man is taken to A.I.M.'s base while Jasper Sitwell rescues Whitney Frost an appearant soacialite and admirer of Tony's by picking her up and jumping overboard. The two are pulled out of the water by a shield hovercraft manned by Nick Fury, Dum Dum Dugan and a third shield agent only called Gabe. After they land Whitney kisses Sitwell to show her gratitude for saving her But later in her room Whitney is revealed to be the Big M, leader of the Maggia, looking to gain access to Tony Starks super weapons, which she will be able to do with Sitwells help. meanwhile in A.I.M.'s base a man named Mordius who has aspirations to lead A.I.M. manages to duplicate the Iron Man armor and Tony has to fight three iron Men. Luckily the duplications arent perfect and the men inside arent as experienced with their armor which shifts the odds in Starks favor. Seeing this Mordius orders for the heavy weapons, specifically the the Rocket Cannon. however Tony manages to sneak into the generator room under the cover created by the Rocket cannon, and with a few modifications tricks A.I.M. into overloading their generators causing the whole island their headquarters were positioned on.
