Synopsis for "Resolutions!"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Iron Man #200

The doctor tells Tony that Morley is dead. Stark walks away in disappointment but Rhodey stops him. Jim says he is happy to be alive. Stark asks him about Clytemnestra's condition. Jim has no idea but Cly comes out of the hospital and starts blaming Tony for her brother's death. Tony admits that he could have become Iron Man but was afraid that he would become a drunk again. Stark feels really guilty and decides to go to Los Angeles to confront Obadiah Stane. Meanwhile, Stane is telling Bethany that he did not kill Stark so he could live in humiliation and return to the habit of drinking. Stane asks Bethany if she loves him as she did Stark and she says yes. Stark has arrived at the LA headquarters of the West Coast Avengers. He is greeted by Hawkeye but Stark has no interest in small talk. He goes straight to the lab and works on finishing the new armor he is designing. He finishes the armor and dons it.

He flies away leaving Hawkeye and Mockingbird in awe. He travels to Stane International. Stane and Bethany are going to meet Dr. Atlanta on a lower level in the building, He is refining his psyche imprint process. He experimented an earlier prototype on himself and was sent to an insane asylum. Stane shows Bethany Project Ironmonger which is based off of Stark's Iron Man armor. Iron Man demands to see Stane in the office reception. Obadiah and Iron Man meet face-to-face and Stane figures out that Tony Stark is inside the armor. Stane deploys a Circuits-Breaker on him but Iron Man easily vanquishes it. After this failure, Stane orders the chessmen to destroy him but he defeats them too. Stane accepts that he has to be the one to destroy Tony Stark. He dons the Ironmonger armor.

Ironmonger and Iron Man fight and Stark unknowingly ruins the building's safety devices. This could blow the building to ashes. The building explodes but Iron Man escapes unharmed due to his new and improved armor. Iron Man tries to find Stane but instead finds his friends and employees imprisoned in chambers. Stane tells him he can do nothing to save them as if he tries to move them Stane will send 200,000 volts into them. Iron Man severs the cable which could feed the electricity. He frees everyone and goes to fight Stane again. Stane threatens to kill Baby Anders but Iron Man freezes Stane's armor and saves the child. Stane realizes that he has been defeated and, mirroring his father, kills himself with a repulsor blast to the head.

Synopsis for "Sky Duel"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Iron Man #201

Happy Hogan, Pepper Hogan, and Bambi Arbogast are trapped beneath the destroyed facility of Stane International after being freed by Iron Man.[1] Iron Man, having defeated Obadiah Stane and witnessing his suicide suddenly realizes they were left behind and rushes to their rescue. He also rescues Bethany Cabe whose mind is trapped in the body of Madame Masque, unbeknownst to Iron Man, and witnesses Theron Atlanta being captured by a newly arrived A.I.M. ship but can do nothing about it as he rescues Bethany who is in need of medical care.

Dr. Atlanta is greeted by Yorgon Tykkio, an A.I.M. leader who wants to put his genius to use. Iron Man finds Bethany Cabe, not realizing she has the mind of Madame Masque despite the real Cabe appearing with the body of Madame Masque and trying to set the record straight. The real Bethany is carted away by police as Iron Man tells the other "Bethany" that he must return to the west coast and she says that she will join him imminently. At a funeral home in California, Jim Rhodes comforts a grieving Clytemnestra Erwin after the death of Morley.[1]

Back in the A.I.M. ship, an order by the Scientist Supreme has apparently authorized the attack of the Avengers Compound in California. Bethany as Madame Masque meanwhile escapes from the prison compound where she is housed in New York as Iron Man hears a distress call from Hawkeye who is flying a Quinjet and battling numerous A.I.M. flyers with Mockingbird in California. Iron Man saves Tigra from crashing into Dodger Stadium during a baseball game and helps take out the A.I.M. ships with his new high-tech armor. Back on the A.I.M. ship that captured Atlanta, the Supreme Scientist is baffled by the attack and asks who ordered it, but another member says it was him and Yorgon appears to be behind it. The fake Bethany Cabe arrives in California and buys a pistol from a shady character at the airport with the intention of shooting Tony.
