In "Independence Day," Tony Stark faces a moral crossroads when his father reveals a weakness in the Sentinels—only to reject the idea of using it to protect the human resistance. As the House of M brands the new Iron Man a terrorist, mistaking him for Johnny Storm, Tony must decide where his loyalty lies. With Storm asking to join the fight and Hank Pym’s fate hanging in the balance, Tony leads a desperate mission to rescue him—only to uncover a shocking truth in the process. Written by Greg Pak and illustrated by Pat Lee, with dynamic inks by Dream Engine and vibrant colors by the same team, this issue delivers a tense, character-driven story that redefines Iron Man’s role in a world turned upside down. The cover by Pat Lee and Dream Engine captures the intensity of Tony’s transformation.

Howard tells Tony of a weak spot in the Sentinels. Tony refuses to let the Sentinels kill members of the human resistance movement and destroys them against his father's advice. The House of M immediately brands this new Iron Man a terrorist but believes him to be Johnny Storm. Magneto forces Stark to sign over his new Vision technology and asks Tony to bring in Storm. Instead, Johnny asks Tony if he can join in the fight. When Tony discovers that Hank Pym is headed for an internment camp, he and Johnny battle Sentinels to rescue him. They find that Pym has planted bombs to wipe out mutants.
