“Showdown!”

In "Showdown!", Tony Stark takes his date Marion to the circus, where a sudden animal escape forces him into action as Iron Man—this time in a striking golden suit. With his new armor, he faces off against Gargantus, a colossal alien robot, in a battle that sees him using magnetic force to dismantle the machine. The cover by Ron Wilson and Mike Esposito captures the moment of high-stakes confrontation, while Stan Lee and R. Berns’ script, illustrated by Jack Kirby with inks by D. Heck, delivers a classic Iron Man adventure full of pulpy thrills.

Tony takes his newest date, Marion, to the circus. When the wild animals escape, he rounds them up as Iron Man. His grey armor scares the onlookers. Marion suggests that a golden metal might make him look more heroic. A golden Iron Man then battles Gargantus, who turns out to be a mighty robot built by aliens. Iron Man defeats Gargantus by hurling three magnets at him. The magnets float around the robot, ripping its body to pieces. Iron Man then throws the magnets at a flying saucer he just spotted. The aliens flee and, next day, Tony has another date with Marion.
