At his luxurious country estate, Anthony Stark,

millionaire industrialist and inventor, prepares to depart for Washington.

The senator should be making the announcement just about now.

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Anthony Stark has agreed to testify before my committee.

He will make the secret of Iron Man's invulnerable armor available to the free world.

What do you propose to do about this situation?

I have already planted an agent to deal with Tony Stark.

Orders are to beat the allied nations to Iron Man's armor.

That plan is now being executed.

Also, Stark.

And at that moment, half a world away,

Countess de la Sparosa puts the plan into operation.

That's the word I've been waiting for.

Stark's precious attaché case is as good as mine.

All I need to do is visit the Mad Thinker.

Now that paltry sum offered by those fools behind the curtain is a mere

begetel to me.

I can hold the case for ransom to the free world for 1,000 times that amount.

I anticipated you, dear Countess.

Our plan went into operation the instant I heard the statement.

Well, all set for Washington.

Better use one of the secret exits.

Uh-oh, something's amiss, I can feel it.

A giant android.

The Mad Thinker's most deadly creation.

If I can just avoid him long enough to change to Iron Man, I'll have a chance if not.

Out at last, now if I can open my attaché case, I think he has me.

It's confirmed, Senator, Tony Stark has disappeared.

Ma, he's probably hiding out.

He's changed his mind about testifying, find Stark.

But unknown to the Senator, Tony Stark is now a prisoner of the Mad Thinker.

It'll be a nationwide manhunt for me, Thinker.

You can't hold me here.

A dream away, fool.

I'll be through with you long before you can be found.

Well, get out of business.

What is it you want?

The it I want, Stark, happens to be a small item.

Which I'm glad you brought with you.

You're attaché case.

Hold it, mister.

Give me that attaché case.

Certainly I will, after I've examined its contents.

No, stop, you mustn't.

Wait, don't touch that case.

But the more you protest, the more it wets my curiosity.

Gas, he tricked me, me, the Thinker.

Tony Stark doesn't have the power to prevail, but Iron Man sure does.

Oh, I should have known gas wouldn't affect an android.

Yes, the effects of your sleep gas have worn off.

I'm at my control panel, as you'll learn to your sorrow.

Tension raise, the work of the Mad Thinker.

Let's see how your control panel stands up against this.

What can that puny device do against my all powerful raise?

It can emit a little vapor.

Let's call it reflecting mist, you'll see.

The reflecting mist redirects the tension raise back onto the Android.

What did you do?

What are those things?

Little whammies, they stick to any electrical equipment and destroy its usefulness completely.

I failed the Countess, she'll never forgive me.

So the Countess is in this little caper.

Mr. Stark, the Countess is here.

Please send the Countess in and tell the reporters I'll see them outside.

Sorry gentlemen, I have a pressing appointment, I'll have to see you later.

But my attache case, gone with the Countess.

Seemingly outwitted by the cunning of the evil Countess, a baffled Tony Stark ponders

his next move.

Pepper, get me Senator Boyd in Washington immediately.

Hello Senator, afraid I have bad news, you'll have to postpone the Iron Man hearing.

Hold it Stark, is this another one of your stalling tactics?

This is no stall Senator, Countess de la Sporosa has stolen the attache case containing

Iron Man's armor.

Believe me Senator, this is for real.

Obviously every security agency of the government swings into action.

All points by me.

But the Countess doesn't know is that I always set the automatic homing device in

the attache case which will continue to send out its signal until I retrieve it.

Simultaneously others who are interested in the whereabouts of the Countess and her

pilfered prize put their deadly apparatus to work.

Apparently our dear Contessa has double crossed us.

She has not made contact.

We must have that attache case no matter what they cause, this then will be our first opportunity

to use the grapple beams which under control can be projected anywhere.

Truly a formidable weapon, project your grapple beams as soon as the Countess is found

on scanner.

I'd like to be present when the senator gets this bill I do.

Hello?

Yes, Senator?

Stark, this may clue you in on your stolen attache case.

I just got a ransom note.

The postmark of course means nothing.

That's the Countess.

How much does she want, Senator?

$10 million, Stark, $10 million within 24 hours.

Senator, give me that much time.

We've got to get to her before the people behind the curtain do.

Well, get cracking.

I want action.

She's somewhere in the northeast quadrant.

My homing signal's getting stronger, but there's some interference cutting in.

I hope it's not who I think it is.

Stark's fears are only too well-founded, for in a secret communications room, alien eyes

and ears are also alert.

Their interference is getting stronger.

They're monitoring me all right.

That means I'd better get to the Countess first.

It's a good thing I built more than one suit of Iron Man's armor.

And this is even mightier than the one the Countess stole.

Of all our rotten luck, the Countess is obviously in a spaceship inside the Van Allen Radiation

Belt.

Well, here we go again.

And behind the curtain, aha, Stark's homing device works for him and for us.

He's found the Countess, so have we.

There it is, a space vehicle and a Countess.

Looks like I'll have to invite myself in.

Ah, my dear Countess, what is a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?

How did you get in, Iron Man?

It's impossible.

Just dropped in to pick up Mr. Stark's attaché case.

Solonoids, the deadliest robots of all.

You've overplayed your hand this time.

Destroy him.

And at this critical moment, they're all in my power.

Touch the grapple beams to invisibility and bring them down to us.

The spacecraft is being pushed down by some invisible force.

I'll have to stay with it or lose my attaché case.

Confronted by the fearsome creatures of the cunning Countess, the monstrous Solonoids,

Iron Man prepares for battle.

I'm going to attack from both sides at once.

I have the answer to that.

My transistors are getting low again.

Can't outmaneuver them many more times.

Finish him, you two.

He's getting low on power.

I can tell.

Thanks for those kind words, my dear Countessive.

Back into Earth's atmosphere.

Now, one chance to use my repulsor rays.

Meanwhile, behind the curtain.

Aha, reentry back into the air envelope.

I'll have them within minutes.

Order out the guards.

So the spaceship lands in a heavily guarded square.

Countess, the instant the hatch is open, get out fast.

I have just set the timer to blow up my attaché case and this spaceship.

Iron Man, you can't.

They will kill both of us.

That's a chance we have to take.

Clever Iron Man, very clever.

You cost me this spaceship.

Your attaché case has never been found.

LG2 to coin a phrase, c'est la guerre.

Question is, why are we here?

I was coming to that.

Since you defeated our champion, Titanium Man, we have redesigned him.

Final testing is about to begin and you will be the opponent.

Titanium Man, into the projectile pad.

You shall see how completely invincible I am.

Fire when ready.

Fire!

Look, he still stands.

Triumph shall be ours.

What do you think of our new champion, Iron Man?

Quite a durable fellow.

Ah, yes.

Now my ultimatum, you will accept Titanium Man's challenge.

You will fight over your nation's capital.

The entire world will witness your defeat on Telstar television.

And if I refuse, I might add, alternative is death.

My firing squad, meanwhile, enjoy our hospitality.

I can't allow it.

There's nothing in it for me.

I must plan.

Countess.

What's this?

Bygones are bygones.

I bribed your guards.

Come quickly.

I have a plane.

I couldn't let you get shot by those barbarians.

I know why you helped me, Countess.

You don't fool me.

Where Iron Man is, the armor is.

Iron Man and the Countess stole a plane and escaped.

We are tracking them on radar.

You are to go after them.

My chance for vindication.

I shall not fail.

It's Titanium Man.

You better use your parachute, Countess, hurry.

You're actually letting me escape.

Why?

I have more faith in you than you have in yourself.

Perhaps one day my faith will be justified.

Here, in the air over your capital, Washington, you shall die, Iron Man.

It's as good a time as any, but I have something to say about it too.

And so the deadly battle swirls across the sky, directly over the capital itself.

He's caught Iron Man.

What's he doing?

He's focusing on me.

It's horrible.

In seconds, your helmet will be molten ore.

If I could just get my knees up and activate my power jets.

It's the only man who ever trusted me.

Somehow, someday, I'll be worthy of that trust.

Too bad you didn't see the fight, Stark.

Iron Man was terrific.

I've got to have the secret of that invincible armor.

I'm glad you said that, Senator.

Someday perhaps you will.

Tony Stark makes you feel he's a cool exec for the hottest deer.
