A giant dinosaur smashes the Quinjet that Tigra was flying over the Pacific. She crashes on a primitive island and tries to radio for help. Meanwhile it turns out the dinosaur was being controlled by Dr. Demonicus. Demonicus orders the monster to kill Tigra and the natives. Luckily her West Coast Avengers teammates Hawkeye and Mockingbird along with Iron Man (wearing retro gray armor) have come to help. Since Tony Stark is reluctant to play superhero anymore (due to being a recovering alcoholic) at first he doesn't intervene, but ultimately does and carries the dinosaur out to sea.
