Very few people on this Earth frighten me, O'Brian.
This man utterly chills me to the bone.
I've never seen him in real life, sir.
I kind of thought he was more of a figure head,
an invention to scare the people.
No, that's him behind the mask. He rarely visits this country
but wanted to acquire the Iron Man specs personally since that
metal menace keeps corrupting the files, the second they go online.
Okay, men, here he comes. Keep calm.
Lowly citizens of this oppressive nation,
lower your eyes and bow your heads
for the absolute monarch of Latveria...
Dr. Victor von Doom!
Dr. Doom, it's a true honor
to finally meet such a esteemed...
Spare me your banal obsequiousness, Stane.
I have no tolerance
for this puerile overindulgent country.
Let our business be short.
Doom departs in 13 hours.
Of course, your eminence.
The Iron Man specs are yours,
as long as you assist us with project Monger as agreed.
Do you doubt von Doom?
Of course not.
It is known Doom is a man of his word.
I will honor you by contributing my knowledge
to your petty project.
But first, the Iron Man designs.
Another one of Japan's modern exports is technology.
Now besides America, Japan is a leading force
in technological advancements.
That's true, but isn't Latveria also a leader in technology?
Latveria is still a developing country, Stark.
Tony is right, Rona.
Latveria is a fast approaching super power
based on their weapons alone.
So can you tell us more about Latveria, professor Benny?
Well, it's a bit of topic.
Latveria, it's a tiny country which borders
Romania, Hungary, and Serbia.
The ruler is a man rarely seen,
a cruel despot named Dr. Victor von Doom.
The country is a complete monarchy with no legislature.
Its laws change daily based on Doom's whims.
That's lame.
How can he get away with that?
S.H.I.E.L.D. should just fly in and take him down.
No government or S.H.I.E.L.D. can just role in
and take control of any country they want.
That's the attitude of an evil monarchy.
Finish the chapter by Tuesday.
So what's up with all the Latveria questions?
Thinking about a vacation?
It's a long story, Pepper.
I'll tell you back at the armory.
Tony, we need to talk.
Uh-oh. I forgot another date, didn't I?
I swear...
It's not about us, it's about my dad.
He's not himself, on edge.
There's some diplomat, or something,
from another country visiting, but he won't say who.
Uh, Whitney, I'm sorry. I got to run.
I promised roberta I'd do chores around the house.
We're still on for dinner tonight, right?
Um, sure. Yeah, yeah, I'll call you.
I grow impatient, Stane.
The Iron Man specs, give them to me!
Of course, your eminence.
All contained on this Zettabyte drive.
The designs are as inferior as expected.
Now, about our arrangement.
I need your amazing,
Unparallel genius for the heart of my problem.
Sycophantic fool.
I have already found the solution on the plane ride over.
I just need to see the archaic device.
I knew it, Doom was on his way here.
I just didn't realize he was here now.
Why don't you fill us in?
Because I got clue zero what you're talking about.
Dr. Doom. I ran across a series
of coded transmissions that Stane sent to Latveria.
He wants the armor specs Stane and Hammer stole.
Whoa. Doom wants your armor!
Well, that's almost an honor.
Sorta.
Stane's trading my stolen specs for...
For what, I don't know.
The transmission had deep encryption I couldn't crack.
Please tell me for once
you're not gonna do what I think you're gonna do.
I'm gonna grab the specs
before Doom takes them back to his country
And build who knows what... Doombots or something.
You can't go after him.
Doom has diplomatic immunity.
I have no choice, Rhodey.
Victor von Doom is one of the smartest
and evilest man on the planet.
Whoa. Check it out.
I just found a conspiracy site all about him.
Mega-Superpower-Dictators.Evil
A once noble, young Victor von Doom accidentally killed
the royal von Doom family in a science experiment gone awry.
Both his mother and young bride to be, Valeria, perished.
The explosion also scarred Doom for life,
forcing him to forever wear his armor.
Whoa. That sounds a little too familiar doesn't it, Tony?
Except Doom uses his mind and his tech for pure evil.
But he's not gonna use my tech.
I got a bad feeling about this.
This is it. The Monger core.
The problem is that it's too large and burns out far too quickly.
This is an oversized toy.
It's nuclear, unstable, and clearly the reason it
doesn't work is that Iron Man has been tampering with it.
Iron Man? I knew it.
It must be quantum based tech of my own design.
I will reduce its size by 83% and increase its power a thousand fold.
Excellent, my lord.
Silence. My sensors are picking up something close.
Any luck, Tony?
Nothing.
Stane is using my stolen specs
as the basis for his anti-surveillance protection.
He's locking me out with my own tech.
I'm good a messing myself up.
I don't like it, man.
Maybe I could suit up and fly in.
Relax, captain paranoid.
After all, I'm too far away for Doom to even notice.
If I'm gonna nail him and grab my specs,
I'm gonna have to do it fast, in and out, just like... that?
So, this is the famous Iron Man. Amusing.
I am Doom.
Um, can't say I'm pleased to meet you.
You kind of look like a freaky medieval robot.
Half-witted fool. The armor you wear, relinquish it
or I shall tear you limb from limb like an insect.
Oh, yeah? Let's see you back that threat...
Tony! Are you okay?
Who dropped that gamma bomb?
Get out of there, man!
You don't know what you're dealing with!
That's it. I'm suiting up.
Scanning Doom's armor now.
Trying to find a weakness.
Doom armor composition unknown.
Scanning render breakdown, six hours.
Six hours!
Doom's making my armor look like a toaster with arms.
Your famed repulsor technology... almost comical.
Ahh! He... he's like some crazy unstoppable killbot!
Rhodey, where are you? I need some serious back...
Doom repeats himself only once.
The armor, give it to me
and your end will be relatively painless.
Kiss my iron...
I... I won't stay down, Doom.
I won't give up!
You have riled the fury of Doom.
Now, I shall conjure a specter of despair.
to wrench the very soul from your body!
Where am I?
There is no escape from Doom!
No!
Tony! Tony, come in. Oh, no.
Your defeat was inevitable, Iron Man.
You cannot withstand the vast powers Doom has tapped.
And now, your armor is mine.
Let him go! Or you'll have to deal with me
and a thousand pounds of explosive artillery.
They call you War Machine, yes?
Do your worst.
Come on!
Rhodey, it's not working!
Just get Tony and get out of there!
Loud, crude, and totally ineffective.
Rhodey!
I am okay, Pepper.
I'm gonna bust Doom's head open with XXL bunker buster.
Nothing can stand up to that sweet little payload.
That's not possible.
Your life ends now, War Machine.
Tony, you're back!
No, it's me. I'm controlling the armor.
Tony's still out like a light.
Come on, we have to get him back here
A-S-A-P.
Next time, Iron Man.
Okay, Tony, keep it together.
Keep it together. This isn't real.
Doom messed with your head.
It's... it's hypnosis. Hallucination.
Focus!
Think about Pepper and Rhodey. Think!
Yes!
Tony, you're back!
I... I just had the worst nightmare I ever...
Wait. That wasn't a nightmare was it?
Whatever it was, you were out for three hours.
Three hours?
Doom did something to my head.
His technology...
It's like Doom has magic powers.
I got to get closer to Doom.
I need a deeper analysis of his armor.
And I think I know where to start.
Obadiah!
Stane, we need to talk.
I don't have time right now, Tony. I'm a very busy man.
I don't like the way you're running Stark international, Obadiah.
But the board does.
So I think you should step aside.
See you when you turn 18, Tony.
Or not.
Everything work out?
Like a charm.
Stane never realized I slapped two B.U.G.S. on him.
What if Doom's armor picks them up?
The B.U.G.S. stand for Bio-tech Undercover Guided Surveillance.
They imitate organic life.
So Doom will think they're just harmless houseflies, hopefully.
Now, let's checkout what's going on inside.
Man, I love technology.
You did it, lord Doom!
Indeed, in three hours
what your scientist couldn't do in three months.
Incredible!
You are a fool, Stane.
There are surveillance devices in this room as we speak.
I warned you Iron Man would interfere.
At least one of the B.U.G.S. Is still online.
Why can't anything work out?
I think your program thingy
is halfway analyzing Doom's armor.
Maybe that'll help.
Wow. Doom's armor is advanced. I mean, really advanced.
It utilizes quantum dot technology
I thought was at least 10 years away.
Wait. I left my nerd translator in my other purse.
Arthur C. Clarke once said:
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
Doom is actually manipulating quantum fields to create magic.
So if Doom's tech is so good, why does he want your armor?
No offense.
The only thing Doom is missing
is the electrical recovery rate the Iron Man armor has.
After a major attack, his shields are down for 1.7 seconds.
See? You've built something Doom wants.
That must make him crazy.
His ego can't handle it.
What's wrong with the core?
It's draining too much power. We can't shut it down.
Iron Man is tampering with the systems again!
Where is dr. Doom?
He's... he's gone, sir. Head back to Latveria.
I don't have anything to do with that. I swear.
Let me check something.
Oh, no. The power core thing,
it's draining all the energy in the surrounding city.
What's happening?
Doom is fueling the power core,
turning the entire building into the world's biggest bomb.
And according to these readings,
it's gonna blow in less than four minutes!
Then what the heck are you waiting for?
Come on. Come on!
That thing is gonna blow right now!
I have to shut it down.
Doom's got everything rigged!
One wrong move and the whole thing blows!
Someone call the guards. Get me O'Brian.
Stane, we are on the 83rd floor
of the biggest bomb ever created.
And we have 40 seconds before it wipes out
the entire eastern seaboard.
I don't believe you.
Then don't. Just get out of here.
15 seconds to detonation.
Tony, can you break the code?
Let me think, Pepper!
Doom's encryption, it's too good. I can't crack it.
10 seconds to detonation.
There's no time!
Nine.
Eight.
Seven.
I can't stop it!
Six seconds to detonation.
I'm gonna try something.
Five.
Everyone get out. Go!
Four.
What are you doing?
Trying to contain it.
One.
All power to force fields.
- Tony! - Tony!
I think I broke a bone
in every part... of my body.
The city stands? Impossible!
Doom never makes mistakes.
The battle continues.
Easy does it. I'm nogonna let anyone fall.
But I'm not letting you go, Doom.
My plan to take out
my tech competition in the west has failed!
And now, you will suffer for it.
Doom!
Feel the might of Doom!
We know it's not magic you're using, Doom.
It's quantum manipulation.
Impressive, but not magic.
Correct, super science.
Time to pass on to another plane of existence.
Valiant, but futile.
What? You are but a child.
I'm man enough to take you down.
Iron Man, relinquish the armor now,
or your friend will suffer for it greatly.
You won't do it, Doom.
You were a good man once, I know it.
You know nothing, Iron Man.
Nothing of pain. Nothing of misery.
Oh, but you will.
I know why you need my specs.
Couldn't figure out that recovery rate
without my help, huh?
Insolent worm!
You want real power?
This is an alien from the dimension of dormammu.
Our witless ancestors would have called them demons.
Do you feel your soul ebbing away, Iron Man?
Do you feel your very life forces draining?
Do you feel this, Doom?
Tony. Are you alive?
Well, if this is heaven, it's kind of lame.
So did it work?
Guess not.
Get out of here, man. Go!
And now, it ends.
No need for help, Fury. I can handle Doom.
Are guns aren't on Doom, Iron Man.
They're on you. What?
Von Doom has diplomatic immunity,
and he's coming with us right now back to Latveria.
This battle is not over, Iron Man.
We will meet again.
You can bet on it.
He built a bomb, Fury. A giant building bomb!
That's why New York went out like a match.
You got any proof, shell head.
Well, not exactly.
But come on, he's dr. Doom.
Listen, son, we know all about Doom.
You got to keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
One day Doom will slip up.
And when he does, S.H.I.E.L.D. will be there.
Oh, no. Whitney!
Whitney.
Don't say anything, Tony! It's over between us!
I gave you another chance.
Dinner! And you blew me off again.
There's something I want to tell you , Whitney.
I need to tell you.
Yeah. What is it?
I'm...
I'm... Sorry.
I know, I can't make it up to you.
But can we at least stay friends? Please.
- Can you be a friend, Tony? - Let me try.
Doom's armor scan just finished rendering.
Whoa.
No wonder the armor is so powerful.
His quantum systems are similar to the Makluan ring designs.
Gene's rings and Doom's armor.
How can that be?
It's not magic, Gene.
The rings are an ancient technology of some kind.
And I have my theories on where they came from.
Silence, Stark. You're boring me.
Now, go through that door.
Seventh Makluan ring has to be in there.
Behold the seventh Makluan ring and it's guardian,
the Centurion.
