Iron Man V8 Issue 5 - We open with a recap from the previous issues explaining Madame Masque got the idea from "you" (Tony Stark) to make a new Tony Stark. With A.I.M.'s help they kidnapped geniuses that were put through extreme stresses to see what they could create under the duress. Iron Man comes to the rescue and gets trapped.

Tony takes an injured Adam and hides with the others while the Fixer drones on about the new armor. The Helicarrer is on fire and going down. The Fixer tells Masque to escape while he takes care of her ex. Tony goads the Fixer as not able to create but just rip off Iron Man armor. Tony has a hand repulsor that he uses to keep the AIM armor off balance as he reminds Fixer he has always had help and taught to work together and selflessness as he lures him into an escape room.
