An emergency call on my built-in radio transceiver.

Calling Iron Man?

This is Pepper Potts calling Iron Man.

Mr. Stark is urgently needed at his factory.

You must locate him at once.

That is all.

It shouldn't be too difficult for me to find Tony Stark,

considering that I'm him.

Underneath this iron bikini, I wonder if Pepper suspects that her playboy boss and

Iron Man are one and the same.

Here's the secret entrance to the hidden tunnel under my factory.

So far, so good.

Now for a quick change.

I'm glad I created my armor out of flexible iron.

The parts can all fold and slip into my briefcase.

Well, that's that.

Now Tony Stark can make his appearance.

Iron Man said I was needed here, Pepper.

Is anything wrong?

I don't know.

You're wanted at the Pentagon at once.

The Pentagon?

I'd better change back to Iron Man.

Once again, the powerful figure of Iron Man streaks over the city like a golden

gladiator.

Not bad.

Less than an hour and there's the capital now.

Minutes later, after another lightning change,

Tony Stark enters a secret briefing room.

Let's get right to the point, Stark.

We've been using your new observer missiles.

But as you can see, the results have been disastrous.

Instead of obtaining vital photos for us, they've all crashed, but disappeared.

I don't understand it.

I checked each one out myself.

They're faster than anything the enemy can put in the air to shoot them down.

Perhaps they're not as fast as you claim.

Negative, Colonel.

I'll go to the Orient myself and get to the bottom of this.

Our scene now changes to a rocket testing area where a long distance ICBM

is about to be launched over the Pacific.

But beneath the missile's belly, we find a strange hitchhiker.

This way, I'll save my precious transistor power for when I really need it.

There's my destination.

Landing safely in the far off Asiatic testing zone, Iron Man again changes

identities and soon arrives at the missile base as Tony Stark.

I know there is nothing structurally wrong with my missiles, General.

Some outside force must be affecting them.

We have one in the air at this very moment.

You can follow its progress through our radio telescope.

The missile is slowing down, changing course.

As though being pulled by some gigantic, invisible hand.

Of course, I should have guessed it's close to the stronghold of the Mandarin,

the most dangerous evil genius in the Orient.

Seconds later, Tony Stark again prepares to battle against incredible odds.

If I attack him as Iron Man, his electronic devices will destroy me on sight.

I'll have to go as Tony Stark and allow myself to be captured.

Here's the tunnel leading to his stronghold.

It's like walking into the dragon's mouth.

Oh, who can that intruder be?

Nothing can approach my castle without being detected.

By activating the power within my miraculous rings,

I can easily block his entrance.

Now, like all who enter my castle, he will be captured and put to death.

I knew his guards would take my briefcase, so I took a few simple precautions.

There must be a great treasure locked within.

We've been tricked.

Deep ring guards.

Now that I'm inside the Mandarin's castle, it's time for Tony Stark to vanish,

and for Iron Man to live again.

You, you dare attack me single-handed?

This time I shall show no mercy.

You weren't exactly a friendly pussycat last time either, Mandarin.

I'm not allowing you to save yourself, but ending in words would be.

All I need to do is use the exclusive power of but

one ring to bury you beneath the wall of rock.

I don't wear this armor just for show.

These overgrown pebbles don't bother me.

I have all the ways to destroy you.

Stay where you are.

You've got some questions to answer.

On the contrary, your stay where you are.

And once my ring touches this control panel, you will stay there forever.

I've got to free myself from this electrical ray and

find out how the Mandarin is capturing our missiles.

Before I destroy you completely, Iron Man, I'll make you this offer.

Agree to become my ally, so me, and together we can rule the world.

I'd rather team up with a rattlesnake.

Oh, so, for it, you'll die.

What terrible fate awaits the great Golden Avenger.

What, you still move?

You still live?

I've been trying to tell you, big mouth, I thrive on electricity.

But you have no protection against a lethal karate brawl.

Oh, you could have shared the world's greatest empire with me.

But instead, you have chosen a nation in a speculative valley.

I shall let you be slain by a warrior sword.

That's real kind of you, I'm all choked up.

No swordsman is my equal.

Nothing can stop my miniature rockets.

My magnetic repellent can.

How much longer can I keep fighting at full power?

My transistors are slowly losing precious energy.

In a while, I'll be helpless, but I can't fail yet.

Not until I've learned how the Mandarin is destroying our missiles.

I compliment you, Iron Man.

Oh, the better you're putting up.

A pity my black light ring must put an end to it so quickly.

I'm surrounded by darkness, I can't see.

Now, my magnetic steel bands will find your iron armor.

And you will be hopelessly trapped.

He's right, they're getting tighter.

And so, the battle ends with total victory for the Mandarin.

If my transistors were fully charged, I could snap these peoples.

Yeah, I've activated the master button.

Even if you could snap those cables, it would be too late.

Your time has come, Iron Man.

Have you know any prayers?

Say them now.

Are you mad to smile in the face of air?

I have one slim chance if I can block my way through.

Why shouldn't I smile with Tony Stark running loose?

He's probably found your anti-missile missiles and is destroying them this very minute.

You are a fool to remind me.

I'll stop him now.

As for you, I'll set my table to hold you steady.

It worked.

Now, if you stay away long enough, my transistors are recharging fast.

I am reaching maximum power again.

I give it to him within seconds.

Oh, I seem to sense another presence near me.

It must be Tony Stark.

He went to check on his missiles.

They must be in there.

Ah, everything seems to be in order.

Nothing has been deserved, and there's no sign of Stark.

Stark, if you're hiding, show yourself, you cannot escape me.

Ah, ah, we spend more time on him.

Boss, I must destroy Iron Man.

A signal, a little missile about to be lost by the Allies.

Even though we haven't heard from Stark, we can't delay blast off any longer.

Begin the countdown.

Three, two, one, zero.

Ah, so the Mandarin will have another egg for his nest.

My interceptor egg can catch anything that flies, and can return it to me within the hour.

So that's how you do it, with a ray.

Iron Man, out!

I'll make sure this gadget never damages another missile.

You fool!

Once I've started the ray, nothing can stop it.

But you can be stopped.

I proved that before.

I've got to protect that missile.

So, the mighty Iron Man has turned coward.

He flees and panic.

I'll have to turn it somehow, before it reaches the Mandarin's ray.

I did it.

I'm trapped, caught by the same beam.

The Mandarin is pulling me back to his castle.

I'm helpless.

The ray is so powerful, my transistor jets can't resist it.

Will Iron Man have another chance to escape?

This is to be my finish. I'll show that nothing can shatter the faith of a man who fights for freedom.

The end is near. Iron Man has slaughtered me for the last time.

I'll see that he's finished, and a slow one.

I've got to move fast.

Everything depends upon breaking a piece of masonry as I go through the window.

Oh, you wrecked my power, Iron Man.

I've got news for you. That's the idea.

But, you have sealed your doom.

Now, you shall feel the power of my rings.

Decentivator Ray, if it hits me, I'm done for.

No one escapes the Mandarin.

There's the bottom. And what's that?

It's a pool of acid.

I've got to break through the side of the chute.

Now I'm ready for anything else the Mandarin can toss at me.

I find it amusing to toy with him.

What's that noise?

I've been forced clean through the floor.

Even my impervious armor can't take many more such attacks.

And now, my diminutive victim, I'll crush you like the free you are.

I don't know how you did it, mister, but size doesn't impress me.

Cleverly arranged mirrors to enlarge his image.

There's no limit to his bag of tricks.

Now, what's this? More images.

With us, fool! Fool!

You shall have joined forces, forces, forces, with me!

When I offer you a chance to...

How can I tell which is the real Mandarin?

Blast it! I swung at an image.

Looking for me, me, me, Iron Man and...

Where are you?

Ha, ha, ha, ha!

Yes, yes, yes, yes!

All right, I will.

I'm a broken dragon.

How do we have to do his nuclear ring?

I'm getting it.

He takes the rest of my life.

The corridor is empty.

It's those jets of his.

He must have flown down there.

The captain missiles.

He managed to send them back on their way.

But he forgot my interceptory.

I can still stop them.

I must reach the control panel to bring them back.

No! I'm too late!

I'm too late!

He smashed the controls!

Oh, my rave is destroyed!

It will take me years to build an hour!

For this, he'll pay a thousand times for over!

But as the Mandarin ramps and raves within his sinister castle,

the object of his life hurtled safely away at rocket speed.

I'm glad I built these babies nice and easy.

I'll have to change back to Tony Stark

before I land.

At near the alerted U.S. base a few minutes later...

It's what we were waiting for!

It's Tony Stark!

How about a lift, boys?

Then, after a fast Army jet ride halfway round the globe,

a triumphant Tony Stark addresses a high-level meeting at the Pentagon.

Gentlemen, there will be no further trouble with our missiles in that sector.

Much of the credit for our success must go to Iron Man.

But he's much too shy to come here himself.

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

As Iron Man, all gems ablaze, he's tight and slight with repulsor rays
