Rating:
Iron Man in his new War Machine armor leads the Masters of Silence in an attack on Justin Hammer's artificial island stronghold. Hammer's forces fire on Rhodey in his helicopter but Rhodey evades the missiles and fires a couple of his own at the target. Iron Man enters the main building, accompanied by the invisible Masters, easily taking out armed minions from Hydra and other criminal groups. While the Masters deal with the front line troops, Shellhead heads for the command center; Hammer calls out the Mandroids. The angry Avenger walks through automated guns, rips through the Mandroids, tears open an impregnable door, smacks down human guards to confront Justin Hammer. But Hammer is gone. Shellhead pursues him through the building until the villain runs into the Masters of Silence. Iron Man dictates terms: Hammer must exonerate Tony Stark of the fraud charges; he must repay Akane the defrauded company; he must sell his Stane holdings back to Stark for a dollar—and if he reneges, he will be turned over to the Masters of Silence. Rhodey picks up his boss, the Masters vanish without a world, and Tony is quite ill....
Dr Erica Sondheim berates Tony for using up what little time he had left. He spends hours dictating last minute details to various subordinates and does not feel the comfort he was expecting....
Epilogue: The villainous cabal, now without Justin Hammer, moves ahead in their plot against Tony Stark....
