Stark Industries employees go on strike after a rabble-rouser convinces them that Tony Stark’s plan to share environmental research with the Russians is an act of treason. As Tony ponders a course of action, Pepper Potts Hogan shows up to ask for a job; Tony makes her his personal secretary again and finds that his romantic feelings toward her have not died. Iron Man pays a call on union boss Gene Khan and discovers he is the Mandarin plotting a takeover of the nation. The hero clobbers the Mandarin’s enforcers and demands a confession. Mandarin reveals that, while his power rings were confiscated and buried by the Inhumans, a pilgrimage to the alien ship where he originally found them led him to discover a high-tech headband which enabled him to recover his rings. And now the more powerful Mandarin battles Iron Man one-on-one, the fight spilling out into the street. At a moment of stalemate, the villain uses the headband to summon his Eleventh Ring: Iron Man’s old foe, the Unicorn!
