Psychiatrist Maggie Dillon makes contact with the personality trapped within the experimental laser weapon. But he doesn't remember that he is is Arthur Parks, the Living Laser. Maggie makes Arthur confront his past. She wants to free him from his laser weapon prison, but also from the personality problems that made him a supervillain.
Meanwhile Iron Man battles Ghost, who has returned to steal the weapon and Parks. IM has Ghost trapped in a room which neutralises his intangibility tech. IM continues to insist he isn't Tony Stark, while Ghost is correctly convinced he is and taunts him with his intent to destroy him and Stark International.
Ghost manages to get out of the room trap, but with his intangibility still compromised. He calls Spymaster to guide him through an escape route. But Spymaster is fed up with Ghost's failures and washes his hands of him.
Iron Man catches up with Ghost and beats him up. But their battle has damaged the plant's generator, and it's going into overload. Ghost runs away as IM applies a temporary fix.
But the interruption in power has drastic effects for Maggie Dillon.Her personality dissolves inside the laser. Her body is caught in an explosion. And Living Laser escapes.
