In "Ultime combat," Iron Man faces a chilling holiday twist when a masked Spymaster, sent by Taskmaster to prove himself, infiltrates Tony Stark’s annual charity gala for orphans disguised as Santa. With the children’s safety at stake, Iron Man must decide how far he’ll go to protect them—letting the intruder take his prize and return to his handler. Written and drawn by Bob Layton, with colors by Paul Becton, and a striking cover by Ciro Tota, this 1991 issue blends high-stakes action with the season’s unexpected tension.
