Iron Man: The Inevitable #6 synopsis by
Rob Johnson
Rating:
Iron Man's damaged armour starts to self-repair as he fights back against Spymaster. Spymaster's wife Greta watches by video from a bunker. Spymaster throws laser beams and rockets at him, but IM defeats them all and destroys the villain's control console.
Throughout the fight Spymaster continues to claim that Iron Man is Tony Stark. And that they are arch-foes destined to battle. (Even though he's only just taken over the role of Spymaster.) IM denies that he's Stark, and also denies that Spymaster (any of the holders of the name) was ever a major opponent.
As IM smashes Spymaster's helmet open, Living Laser makes his appearance. His arrival kills Greta Abbott. But his presence allows Spymaster to slip away.
IM doesn't want to fight Laser. (He has spent much of this series freeing Arthur Parks from being trapped inside a laser weapon.) He leads Laser deep into the by-now-burning building, where he appears to try to trap him somewhere. But it fails.
Realising that he can't fight all this living energy, Iron Man does the opposite. He uses his chest beam to absorb Laser into his armour.
Later at the Stark International Coney Island HQ Iron Man transfers Laser's energy into a specially-designed prison cell.
Later still at Avengers Tower Tony is greeted by Jarvis. And he has accepted that his life as Iron Man will continue.
