Synopsis for "When Fall the Mighty!"
Finding himself a fugitive from the law, Iron Man was running low on power when he was attacked by Warlord Krang. After their battle, he broke into his own factory in order to effect repairs and recharge himself, however he was interrupted by the arrival of the Sub-Mariner whom had come to destroy the Golden Avenger.
During their fight, Iron Man proves to be at a great disadvantage to the Atlantean monarch and locks himself in a lab in order to repair his damaged armor and recharge himself. While Namor tries to smash through the door, he reflects on why he is out to destroy Iron Man: How he was seeking to get revenge on Warlord Krang and Lady Dorma for their betrayals, and how Iron Man's intervention allowed them to get away from his wrath, and he had followed Iron Man to his factory to get revenge.
Iron Man repairs his armor and opens the door to take on Namor, only to find that he is gone. The police, Pepper Potts, and Happy Hogan arrive to find out what's happening. There Iron Man tries to explain to the police that he was attacked by the Sub-Mariner.
Meanwhile, Namor had fled because his strength was weakening from being on dry land and so he flew to the nearest source of water to replenish his strength. Now at peak strength, Namor once again charges off to get revenge on Iron Man. This story is concluded in Tales to Astonish #82.
