In "null," Tony Stark returns from Japan, presumed dead, seeking to reconcile with the world he left behind. He reconnects with Riri Williams and her mother, learning of Riri’s efforts to replicate his armor, even as the fallout from Civil War II devastates Stark International and claims James Rhodes’ life. With SHIELD’s Maria Hill pressing him for answers, Doom appears and drags Stark away—leaving only questions in his wake.

In "null," Tony Stark finds himself pulled from his life in England by Doom, who forces a painful reunion with Amara—only for her to reject him, still wounded by his deception.

In "null," Tony Stark struggles to find clarity after the loss of Jim Rhodes and the fallout from the second Civil War.

Two weeks later, Tony’s long-lost biological mother arrives at his office for their first meeting—only to find him absent.

In "null," a furious Avengers assault on Doom’s castle erupts after the villain is revealed as the source of the Venom Virus. Amid the chaos, Doom, Iron Man, and Sentry are pulled through a time platform and flung into the past—where their fates hang in the balance.

In "Time Is on No One's Side," Iron Man, the Sentry, and Dr. Doom find themselves stranded in the past, racing against time to reach Doom’s time platform in the Baxter Building. With the Thing standing in their way, they must navigate the dangers of history without changing it—before the past changes them.

In "null," Doom’s return from the timestream throws the Avengers into chaos as he traps them in Castle Doom, sapping their powers and sealing them in stasis. When Spider-Woman breaks free with an unexpected surge of strength, she rallies Iron Man and the Sentry to confront Doom—only to leave Tony’s tech in ruins before the villain is finally handed over to S.H.I.E.L.D.
