Iron Man's archnemesis, the Mandarin, has returned - and he's pushing the Golden Avenger to the breaking point. First, the Mandarin pits Iron Man against the Incredible Hulk in a battle of the titans that only one will walk away from. Then he discovers Iron Man's secret identity - and tears down Tony Stark. It's an all-time Iron Man classic like no other. And there's more where that came from, as Tony finds himself replaced by his own S.H.I.E.L.D. Life-Model Decoy. This doppelganger doesn't just want to take Stark's place - he wants to take his life. Plus: Thrill to clashes with the Controller, the Titanium Man and the Crimson Dynamo, an epic throwdown against the Sub-Mariner - and the first appearance of Madame Masque. Collecting IRON MAN (1968) #2-24. Rated T.
