Hm?

Dammit!

The water, its...

Where'd all this wind...?!

This is the arc station's new security system: It's an EMP device.

Looks like my 8th grade science project.

Form is secondary to function, Mr. Stark.

This EMP generator can send out an electromagnetic pulse

that's capable of overloading any device it fixes on,

frying the circuitry in an instant.

Well, that's handy.

Breaking into this place oughta be next to impossible then.

Sort of like getting you to smile.

Lets forge ahead, shall we?

We're still in beta. So, it's a bit limited.

We expect it to improve as development moves forward.

Let's hope...

Hello?

Dr. Tanaka?! Thank god, you're safe!

Professor...? You sound troubled. Is everything all right?

No, everything's not all right. My life is in danger!

They already got Professor Ono.

If you're not careful...

Professor? Can you hear me, sir?!

Professor Yamaguchi!! Please, say something!

What happened?! Professor!!

If you're not too busy perusing the competition, Nanami,

perhaps you could squeeze in a little work.

And you're not being paid to sit around and eat!

Actually, Chief... You might wanna have a look at this.

Huh? Why, what is it?

“Meteorologist, Satoshi Yamaguchi, killed by tornado while driving.”

And I care why?

Because there was similar incident, just the other day.

A local professor was killed by a freak tornado.

I think, there's some sort of connection between the two?

Control, requesting permission to land, over.

Roger. You're clear for landing

What the...? Earthquake? Impossible, are you guys all seeing this...?!

That cant be!

A tornado! An F4. Maybe even F5!

We've never seen a tornado that size before!

It'll be here any second! Do we evacuate!?

No! It's too late!

This can't be happening...

Look at that!

It's Iron Man!

Alright, initiate thermal sensors.

A monster tornado, huh?

Super...

Whoa!

Its getting a little crowded up here.

Oh look, another mechanical... thing.

I am Aries... Warrior of the great Zodiac!

Well... there's something you don't see every day.

Unless you're me.

Hmm... Interesting.

Professor Makalaini... Long time no see. May I?

Of course, Dr. Tanaka.

I trust, you've been well?

Yes, thank you.

Checkmate.

Huh? Uh, just a moment dear, you...

Looks like, she got you.

Yes, she did. This young lady's a reporter.

Her name's...

Nanami Ota.

I dropped by to get the professor's opinion for a piece I'm writing.

It's about a string of recent tornadoes.

They're a bit of a mystery, so I thought, I'd come to the expert.

Well, you're getting a bargain then.

Wouldn't you say?

Dr. Tanaka here, was one of my brightest.

She was a brilliant meteorology student.

That was years ago.

I'm sorry, not to be rude, but who are you again?

Dr. Chika Tanaka, with Lab 23.

Lab 23?! Really?!

That's the research and development lab associated

with Stark Industries, isn't it?!

Is there any chance that you know Stark himself?

I work with him. I wouldn't say, I know him.

Got something for ya!

Okay. Lets go to plan B.

You cannot defeat zodiac!

I'm sorry pal, I cant hear ya! Its awful windy!

Would you mind turning it down?

Ahhh!

So how 'bout it? Ya think, I could get your take on these tornadoes?

And anything you could share about Mr. Stark...

would of course, be amazing.

Which tabloid are you with?

Oh, actually, I'm with the Tokyo Journal.

Precisely.. What do you think Professor Mikalaini?

Are the deaths of Professor Ono and Yamaguchi linked in any way?

It's quite a coincidence, both meeting their end the same way.

What do you want me to say?

That there are ties to the research we did?

You want to know if the Tesla Project is related to all this.

Am I right, Dr. Tanaka?

Wait, what's the Tesla Project, Professor?

It was a research initiative in weather manipulation.

We were exploring methods of disaster prevention,

for hurricanes and typhoons and the like. It was groundbreaking work.

We gathered together a team of experts in the field...

...people were working day and night...

But they pulled the plug on the entire project

before we could perfect things.

Huh, but why? It could've done so much good!

Japan's run by idiots, that's why.

Everything, all of our research was killed in the blink of an eye.

The bloody ignoramuses were too short sighted

to see how revolutionary our findings truly were.

In light of these recent tornadoes,

I'd say the Tesla Project isn't as dead as we thought.

Absurd. Every scrap of research data was sealed away.

What's going on...?

Professor! Professor Mikalaini! Professor!

Call an ambulance, quick!

O-Okay!!

I'll meet ya back at the Arc Station.

Yes sir.

Dammit!

Well, if it isn't the famous Tony Stark.

And you are...?

Why don't you take your fancy car

and get the hell out of our way, rich boy.

We're trying to tend to the injured.

Hey. Wait a second.

Look, Is there anything I can do to help out here?

Sure go ahead, throw some money around-that'll fix it.

Go home to your nice big bed, American.

Hey! Where's that damned crane I asked for?

Road conditions are pretty bad.

It's going to take longer than we thought for them to get here, sir.

Dammit to hell!

I don't know how much longer we can wait.

It's dangerous here. Please stay back!

Let me through, I can help here! Just let me through!

I can't allow that, sir. Now step back!

Do we have a problem?

Yeah, I think we do have a problem.

I have the resources to help and your guys won't let me through.

This has nothing to do with you, get out of here.

Look, I get it. Tony Stark's the bad guy.

You wanna hate me? You go right ahead, pal.

But you need more equipment here.

And I can get it for you.

You're a weapon's dealer, you built your whole empire on blood.

We don't need help from a man like you.

Listen to me... That was years ago.

Save it! - I...

There's no way I'm entrusting these people's lives to you.

Now get lost!

Dr. Tanaka! I got a tip from a source of mine.

A huge tornado just hit the U.S. military base.

I know you still believe the Tesla Project's behind it all.

Do you think you could give me a little more back story for my piece?

But, I...

Wow, tell me how you really feel!

You were a little over the speed limit there.

Don't you quit?

I'm a tabloid girl, remember? We're pretty tenacious.

Hurry up! Pull it towards us!

Come on! We've almost got it.

Okay! Ease off!

I'm not telling you again, you're in the way here.

Now clear out!

No way, I'm not leaving until the job's done.

Oh yeah?! Well, let me tell you something..

They're still above water. We got to get em out!

We need that equipment. Do you have an ETA?

No! The road is still blocked with debris,

they'll be held up for a while!

No! It's going under!

Get a rope over here! Hurry up, before it's too late!

No! The current's too strong! You're out of your mind!

- He's up! - Are you okay?

Get a line, and a life preserver right away!

He's crazy.

That's strange!

Someone opened up encrypted files recently.

But access is restricted to project members...

Where did they log in from?

So, um... What exactly are we looking at here?

If I'm gonna help, you need to fill me in.

Are you gonna say anything? Any thing?

What is that Tesla Project you were talking about earlier?

Uh, Hello!

We combined Tesla's electromagnetic principles,

and butterfly theory. Through sublation.

The projects' aim was to turn the whole world

into a massive electromagnetic device.

Huhh?!

All clearly over your head, Miss Ota. That was your name, right?

Frankly there's no point in elaborating to someone of your sort.

Rude much?

This email extension, it's from Professor Mikilaini's university!

The person who cracked this file open...

What's up, who is it?!

Professor!

Mikilaini... What the hell do you think you're doing?

An organization approached me...

...willing to give my work the exposure it deserved.

Burying it was like a death sentence.

And Zodiac is offering me a second chance!

So... the tornado at the military base.

I know, breathtaking, wasn't it?

After all these years I was finally able to prove our hypothesis correct.

It's all come to fruition!

You should be ashamed, think of all the lives you helped destroy!

You delusional wackjob!

Professor, what are you thinking!?

You don't honestly believe that Zodiac needs you any longer, do you?

What difference does it make!

I don't care what happens to me, as long as all of my research lives on!

Look out!!

You're not getting in my way!

Now's our chance, c'mon!

Okay!

How 'bout that, huh? Not too shabby for someone of “my sort”!

Point taken.

You were also on the money when you called him delusional back there.

He really is...

Don't forget the part about him being a wackjob!

You're right... Crass maybe... But absolutely right!

Wow!

They're all Okay!

Guys, a little help? Throw me a line!

Here! Grab hold of this!

How's my armor? And is The Nav system back on line?

Yes. And I have something I'd like to show you...

And this is?

An improved version of our EMP device.

Only this is a full on cannon.

Doesn't matter the tech,

You fire this thing at it, and you'll shut it down.

I'm impressed with the quick update. Any idea if it'll work or not?

There is one possible issue.

It covers a wide area-your suit could be affected.

I'll keep tinkering, try 'n get your Armor's shielding up.

But it's going to take us a little more time.

Trouble?

Dr. Tanaka! Two F5 tornadoes have just hit the Yokosuka Base!

Time for round two.

It's Iron Man!

What're you doing?!

You have to evacuate!

Spectacular!

He's lost his mind!

Did your mother ever tell you to keep your grabby hands to yourself?

Let's take it down on a notch.

Oh, no!

Mr. Stark! Try to reboot the system now!

Stark, can you hear me!?

Computer... Reboot...

Reboot initiated.

What...? What is he...?

Oh no! Something's wrong!

Ten seconds!

Dammit, we're cutting it a little close here...

Oh no!

- 5... 4... 3... - This is gonna hurt...

2... 1...

System reboot complete.

Damn. I'm good.

Guy's got guts, I'll give 'em that.

That was close. Another few seconds and you'd be dining alone tonight.

Mr. Stark. Nice to see a brush with death hasn't changed you.
