Iron Man #16
In Iron Man #16 (2007), Tony Stark’s focus shifts from his SHIELD duties to a chilling autopsy on a cybernetically enhanced ecoterrorist responsible for Team Alpha’s demise, while a shadowy figure in China makes a fateful offer to Tem Borjigin. With Daniel Knauf and Charles Knauf’s sharp writing and Roberto de la Torre’s dynamic art, the issue explores the weight of command and the blurred lines between hero and villain—especially as Karim’s pursuit of the Mandarin’s rings takes a violent turn. Gerald Parel’s cover captures the tension perfectly.

Tony neglects his official duties as director of SHIELD as he and Maya perform an autopsy on a dead ecoterrorist with cybernetic enhancements who killed members of Team Alpha. Karim tracks down Tem Borjigin in a psychiatric facility in China and offers him the ten rings of the Mandarin as he believes Tem to be the villain in disguise. When Tem refuses to respond and is threatened with a gun, he easily dispatches Karim and his men. Dugan gives Tony a lecture about the responsibility of a soldier who has men under his command.
