Iron Man V8 Issue 4 - We open up with Adam Ware building a helmet and reflecting back as his time as a teacher. He escapes the room he was held in only to be zapped by the Fixer. Madame Masque enters the room and Fixer is building an armor from the weapons that the genius prisoners have made. She is interested not in armor but the next Tony Stark. Fixer believes they need to face death in order to see the most desperate creations. Tony is in a room trying to remake Mysterio's armor but keeps failing when Adam connects the helmet to Tony's mind, and they communicate virtually. They work on a way out. Meanwhile, Pepper and Melinda meet Tony's Gamma Base. Citizen V is there to reclaim something Tony took that was his and leaves in a cloud. Tony talks to Whitney (Masque), and she asks Tony to join her and there will be some survivors. Tony escapes with Adam and 5 others using the armor as a distraction. One of the prisoners created a bomb that explodes. They escape the rogue helicarrier but Adam gets blasted and burnt. The Fixer is in new armor - Advanced Iron Man armor. IM V8 3 - We open in an unnamed A.I.M. base with a Dr. Doeger partially phased through a wall. The Fixer and Madame Masque are discussing the inventions of their geniuses that they kidnapped. Dr. Doeger tried to escape to a parallel world and ran out of energy. What about the rest? Others are up to a lot, but Adam Ware is thinking after he hacked into their communications briefly. He wasn't trying to escape like the others, he was concerned about their health. So, Madame Masque sends violent motivation for him, several A.I.M. agents beat him up. Meanwhile Iron Man is defending M.O.D.O.K. in Madripoor. The girls put M.O.D.O.K. back in a harness, and he attacks Iron Man. Citizen V steps in to defend Iron Man and puts down M.O.D.O.K. as well as A.I.M. He then slips away in the darkness "we are watching you" as he leaves. M.O.D.O.K. admits that Whitney Frost and A.I.M. are at war with him. Since Doom, all are vying for control of A.I.M. and the scientific resources. Iron Man takes him with him as he flies away. He contacts Melinda May to find out about, A.I.M.'s civil war and apparently drops his prisoner off at the Vault. Tony is late for his date. Tony and Lucia visit about creating things. They have a moment, then Pepper shows up, awkward. Melinda calls. She updates Tony. Madame Masque has been traveling in Tony's old personal Helicarrier when he was head of the Dept. of Defense that Tony thought was destroyed. Tony takes the new armor in a stealth armor mode and breaks into the flying fortress. Madame Masque confronts him as a hologram. And captures Tony - having all the files of Tony's evil ideas that he thought deleted. V8 Issue 2 - We open with Tony recalling his misadventures of his fights with Madame Masque, the daughter of Count Nefaria. Tony remembers her capturing his suitcase armor and capturing her, then ending up with her. He tells her what he is scared of, not weapons, but another Tony Stark, another inventor. This had Tony create a plan for just that scenario. Modern day, Captain America is helping Tony fight Dreadsquires, Latverians dressed like the Dreadknight. While fighting, Tony gets a call from Luna Lucia asking him out to dinner. Tony leaves looking for those who Whitney kidnapped. Captain America talks to someone saying they need to keep an eye on Tony. Meanwhile, A.I.M. takes its hostage Adam Ware to a cage where other young people are being held.
