T Vernon
Rating:
Tony Stark, totally confused by Madam Masque's shooting of Bethany Cabe, scoffs at the former's explanation of mind transfer and can't think of a way to confirm it. He calls Rhodey to come over and guard the women while he, as Iron Man, sets out to track down the mad scientist responsible, Dr. Theron Atlanta. Shellhead locates an A.I.M. aircraft shot down over the ocean in issue #201 and recovers the black box that can lead him to the villains' undersea lair....
Iron Man finds the A.I.M. base and battles seacraft firing gobs of tar, remote controlled balls trapping him in a tightening force field, and blasts from a plasma cannon. He recovers and bashes the seabase into junk before carrying it to the nearest beach. Shellhead invades the craft as the A.I.M. traitor Yorgon Tykkio hides (breaking his artificial face in the process) leaving Dr Atlanta to be captured by the hero.
Back ashore, Atlanta refuses to talk. Clytemnestra Erwin suggests they can figure out how to work the mind transfer device themselves. The heroes find it at Stane labs and strap the two women into it. At the throw of a switch, everything goes back to normal, with Bethany proving her identity to Tony by repeating a silly joke he once told her.
