Iron Man #251

In "Wrecked Him? He Nearly Killed Him!", Tony Stark tests his new prosthetics lab with Rhodey when the Wrecker crashes the party—only for Iron Man to barely hold his own, leaving the facility in ruins. With the damage done, Chemistro arrives to finish what the Wrecker started, turning a routine check into a high-stakes showdown. Written by Dwayne McDuffie and brought to life by Herb Trimpe’s dynamic art—both in the story and on the cover—this 1989 issue delivers a tense, action-packed clash with a personal cost.
