Iron Man Special #1

In "What Price Victory?", Iron Man's victory over Titanium Man comes at a devastating cost—Happy Hogan lies dying in the hospital, his health shattered by the battle. As Tony Stark struggles to reconcile his duties as a hero with the emotional toll of his choices, he arrives at the hospital to find Pepper by Happy’s side, the Countess lingering with sharp words, and a growing silence between Tony and Pepper that speaks louder than any argument.

In "Disaster!", Tony Stark—now stripped of his fortune and facing arrest—goes to the waterfront as Iron Man, seeking clarity. But before he can recover his footing, Warlord Krang’s flagship emerges from the sea, forcing him into a desperate fight alongside Lady Dorma. With the Avengers out of reach and his factory under siege, Iron Man makes a reckless break for his base—only to crash through the skylight and face an even more unexpected threat: the Sub-Mariner.

In "When Fall the Mighty!", a furious Sub-Mariner storms Iron Man’s lab, overwhelming him with rage and strength. With quick thinking, Iron Man lures the Atlantean into a reinforced safe room, sealing him inside just as his own armor begins to fail—only to discover Sub-Mariner, too, needs a recharge, vanishing toward the sea. When the police arrive accusing Iron Man of destruction, Pepper and Happy show up to back him, but the tide is turning: a fully recharged Sub-Mariner prepares for a second clash.

In "The Power of Iron Man!", Iron Man and Namor clash in a fierce showdown, their rivalry pushed to the brink—until Namor abruptly halts the fight upon spotting Krang’s battle cruiser adrift nearby. Meanwhile, Tony Stark prepares to unveil the truth behind the Iron Man armor to Senator Byrd, setting the stage for a moment that could change everything.
