1 Story arcs

1.1 The Five Nightmares (#17)

Iron Man fights Ezekiel Stane, son of Obadiah Stane; who

sought to avenge the death of his father by destroying

Stark Industries. Ezekiel targets Stark by first becom-

ing an international terrorist, using suicide bombers; withtechnology based upon the Iron Man. In an attempt to

deal with the source of the devastation, Stark ventures

into an A.I.M. facility and is faced withMODOG(Men-

tal Organism Designed Only for Genocide), though after

defeating him with ease and tossing his body into space;

Stark realises another individual is responsible.[1] Also

targeted by Stane isTriumph Divisiona group of seven

superheroes originating fromThe Philippines; who are

killed by a suicide bomber.[1]

1.2 Worlds Most Wanted (#819)

With his Extremis powers failing, Stark uploads a virus to

destroy all records of theRegistration Act, thus prevent-

ing Norman Osborn from learning the identities of his fel-

low heroes. The only copy remaining is in Starks brain,

which he is trying to delete bit by bit while on the run in

one of his extra armors.[2] As Osborn has him hunted as

a fugitive, Stark travels worldwide on his quest to wipe

out his mental database, going so far as to inflict brain

damageon himself. When Osborn personally catches up

to the debilitated Stark and beats him savagely, Pepper

Pottsbroadcasts the beatings worldwide, costing Osborn

credibility and giving Stark public sympathy. Stark goesinto a vegetative state, having previously granted Donald

Blake (alter ego of the Norse-god superheroThor) power

of attorney.[3] During this catatonia, Pepper receives a

holographic message from Tony revealing a way to 're-

boot' his brain, returning him to normal. While Donald

Blake andCaptain Americaresolve to use this method,

Tony offers to remain in his near brain-dead state, if it

would make things easier for Pepper.

1.3 Stark: Disassembled (#2024)

A message is displayed to Pepper by the armor in which

Tony reveals there is a way to reboot his mind but of-

fers to remain like that if it makes things easier. He also

says Osborn cannot copy his or S.H.I.E.L.D.technology

and that it will take Captain America, Thor, and him-

self to clean the mess Osborn will do once he goes crazy.

Donald Blake (Thor) and Captain America (Bucky) de-

cide to use it even though Pepper doubts Tony can come

back when so many others cannot. Meanwhile,Madame

Masque hires Ghost to kill Tony. In Starks subconscious,

he is trapped in a never ending loop where machines at-

tack when he attempts to dig for something before the

scenario resets. In his subconscious, a hallucination of

his parents (Howard and Maria) help him find an ironchest which was what he was digging for. He puts it on

but nothing happens. In the real world, Tonys recording

outline how to reboot him, involving installing Peppers

electromagnet onto his chest, jack the hard driveMaria

Hillrecovered from Futurpharm into his head and then

use Thors thunder to boot his brain. However when it

happens there is no result soDoctor Strangeis called in

to help Tony come back while Ghost arrives only to fail.

Tonys brain is successfully rebooted; however, the reset

point was sometime before theCivil War, leaving Stark

with no knowledge of the current status quo.

1.4 Stark Resilient (#2533)

Justin Hammer unleashes the mechanical hero Detroit

Steel on a world not ready for that much metal and

chrome, and God help anyone that gets in his way. Tony

keeps sifting through the ashes of his old life and tries to

rebuild who he is and what he does. War Machine strug-

gled to be a man of war in peacetime. Meanwhile, Pepper

Potts is on the road to recovery, but nothing is free from

complication in Tony Starks world and that means the

debut of an all new Rescue. The gang at Stark Resilient

burns the midnight oil against an impossible deadline, butthey're not the only one manufacturing a world-changer.

Justin Hammer is building an army of bombers as air sup-
