Invincible Iron Man #2

In "null," Tony Stark sends War Machine on a mission to track Madame Masque through Japan, where the armored hero draws the wrath of organized crime and faces a deadly ambush by ninjas. Back in the States, Tony shares breakfast with Amara, their quiet moment interrupted by the sudden return of Victor von Doom—his rivalry with the armored genius reignited before it’s even begun.

In "null," Mary Jane begins her new role on Tony Stark’s team, stepping into a world of high-stakes tech and shadowy threats. When communications with Rhodes in Japan go silent, Tony turns to Spider-Man to track him down—only to uncover a dangerous enemy with a personal grudge against Stark.

In "null," Iron Man teams up with Spider-Man in Japan to track down the missing Rhodes, but their search takes a sudden turn when they encounter Tomoe—only to be swiftly overpowered. With Stark’s armor and Spider-Man’s web-shooters seized, they’re caught in a devastating explosion, vanishing without a trace.

In the wake of Tony Stark’s sudden disappearance, the world feels the ripple effects: War Machine dismantles Yukio’s operation in Japan, a gifted student in Massachusetts begins crafting her own armor, and Doom quietly extends aid to Dr. Perera. Meanwhile, Stark himself remains hidden in plain sight, shielded by an image inducer, as the search for answers unfolds across continents.

In "null," Tony Stark—posing as the disgraced ex-SHIELD agent Richard Franco—is captured by Tomoe, a newly empowered Inhuman whose control over technology leads her to believe she’s killed him. Now, she demands Franco’s help to eliminate Jim Rhodes, setting off a chain reaction across the globe. While Friday tries to persuade Mary Jane to stay at Stark International, Riri Williams struggles to master her makeshift armor and forge a new identity, and Rhodes rallies the Avengers for a desperate mission to Japan.

In "null," Tony Stark’s prolonged absence leaves Stark International vulnerable, as board members plot to seize control and deploy the Ghost to disable Friday—only for Mary Jane, stepping into her new role, to intervene and stall them. Meanwhile, in Japan, the Avengers and SHIELD launch a strike against Tomoe’s operation, but she vanishes before they can apprehend her. As the pressure mounts, Jim makes a final appeal to bring Tony back to the life he’s been missing.
