Iron Man Covers - The Invincible Iron Man V2

Issue 1 - opens with a past, present, and future montage of Iron Man in his grey armor, his current armor, and an apocalyptic future.

Then we apparently go to the past where some giant humanoid robots break through the sidewalk of apparently New York. Then Iron Man in his grey armor defeats them piece by piece. Then, a lady with an electric guitar appears and plays and repairs and reenergizes the bots. He is knocked down and chest piece is failing which means his heart is failing. She says she will be back.

In the present, Tony is in his Silver Centurion suit and asking diners to leave an area because it is not safe. Iron Man goes into a strip club and tells them to evacuate. He is apparently sending his armors to rescue people. Iron Man is then attacked after hearing the music like he did in the past. She claims victory. Tony Stark shows up and calls her out, Jerrica Benton. She sends her humanoid bots, and Tony expands in a holographic armor. Then he gets stabbed. But, it is all a construct that Tony has made. He then captures the guitar. New York is in a pocket dimension to keep it safe from her. They talk and the issue ends.

Issue 2 - opens with the classic iron man trying to stop an asteroid heading into the atmosphere. It is heading to Norway and a child tells her mom she sees Iron Man and he won't let it hurt them. We see people in radiation suits cleaning up the area. It was the countryside. Iron Man managed to divert it from the cities/villages. Iron Man is at the bottom of the ocean with a deep sea creature trying to communicate with him. Iron Man thinks and the sea creature can understand him. They telepathically communicate. The radioactive meteorite part of it landed in the ocean and is changing the creatures around them. A larger creature attacks and calls the sardines. Iron Man confronts him and outsmarts it. Then, runs out of power and sinks. Then is found by Director Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D.

Issue 3 - opens with a Shogun type armor and to Katana laser swords. He cuts down the Oni and is called the Iron Shogun. When the Iron Shogun returns home, he finds it burning and his best friend, War Monger hanging by his hands. Tony and Rhodey are wearing these suits and apparently acting for the sake of someone watching. Tony thinks back to his childhood when he and his mom act out Tony's fantasy of the Iron Shogun. The Oni have his mom, and the Iron Shogun will save her. The mom attacks the Iron Shogun as he is here to rescue her but she is under the influence of the Oni Queen. The cameras pull back, and we see that Mojo is running the show. Iron Man and War Machine show up. Iron Man and War Machine save Bobby and his mother from Mojo. Iron Man has his Heroes Return armor underneath his Iron Shogun armor. They return home and Tony goes to his mom's grave Maria Stark with balloons because his mom did that for him when he was sick. He says Happy Mother's Day, Mom.

Issue 4 - opens with a Tony in his Iron Man armor when he was Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. sitting eating a hamburger with Dr. Strange eating Chou Mein. They sit atop a building over Greenwich Village in New York City. Tony asks Strange if he can see it. Strange lists of some mystical monsters that he can see but not what Tony is asking. Tony takes Brother Voodoo the next day and Moon Knight the next and Spider-Man the next. No one can see it. Strange returns and takes Tony inside his Sanctum Sanctorum. Tony is seeing monsters with a key hole apparently in the foreheads. Tony takes Strange to the Artic Sea and in a S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier Tony sees a monster again and asks if Strange sees it, and he does not. Strange takes blood and then casts a spell to see out of Tony's eyes. Maria Hill is investigating a killer that is killing extraterrestrial immigrants, legal ones that Tony assigned. They head to Atlantis underneath the Atlantic and are too late to save others. The AI is called D.E.E.D.E.E. reminiscent of Dexter's lab. They head to space. Tony destroys the ship and the being comes after Tony. Iron Man and Maria kill it which triggers an invasion. Tony is infected with a mystic virus, and Strange helps remove it. Then sends that key and mystic energy and the energy to destroy a cosmic cube out to destroy all that have that energy signature. Tony's plan works. Strange asks if this is his Strange Buster?

Issue 5 - opens with Iron Man falling above the Sudan. K.A.T.I.E. his latest AI tries to wake him. It gives 200 Joules shock through Tony's heart and immediately wakes him. He turns his repulsors to leathal. And, is immediately attacked and being beaten. He shoots off an arm of the creature. We go back 3 months to the Cube where Tony visits a superhuman criminal Deola. Tony wants to pay her as a mechanic, the second best he knows. She goes with him and tries to control his suit. She cannot and asks why. Tony says he has countermeasures for the powers. And, she asks why, and he says transistors. They go outside, and Iron Man is attacked by Maria Hill and She-Hulk. And, an Iron Man armor. Tony has a virus downloaded to the new armor via its sensors as it got closer and took it over. Being constantly exposed to death, Tony has a consciousness back-up system that he is mortally wounded can back up to a clone. Sometimes Tony actually survives when he should have died, and that leaves multiple Tony Starks running around that can be used as a threat. The Tony Stark that survives' job is to eliminate the extra clones of Tony Stark. Tony takes his armor into space where they take the heads of clones aliens to prevent the destruction of the planet when Tony is attacked - where we opened the issue. The alien is regrowing his arm. Deola in a suit of armor helps Iron Man. Tony has K.A.T.I.E. incorporate the extra metal and armor around him. The creature is opened and Deola squishes the insides. Tony says he still doesn't remember fixing the cube. That means there is still another Tony still out there. This triggers an explosion and this Tony Stark probable clone dies. Another alien vessel looks on. It is destroyed by the ship with She-Hulk, Maria Hill, and Deola.
