Synopsis

Tony Stark has returned to the States after his big battle to discover that his factories have been closed, his accounts frozen, and a warrant out for his arrest.Iron Man Story - "Disaster!"Since Tony Stark was ordered to appear in Washington and give a speech on the abilities of Iron Man, and failed to do so due to a number of reasons (mostly involving him being Iron Man), his factory has been shut down and Tony is now a wanted man. Out on the streets, his heart starts to struggle, and Tony has to change into his armour to give it an extra boost.

Krang and Iron Man then shoot a few more lasers at each other, before Iron Man flies above Krang's ship, out of range of his lasers.

However, just as Iron Man reaches his factory and his transistors start running low on power, there's a crash and Namor enters the room.Captain America Story - "The Red Skull Lives!"Captain America is walking around the city when he suddenly notices some costumed assassins.
