IRON MAN ANNUAL #8
(1986) "When Innocence Dies!" Cover art: Walt Simonson. Script: Bob Harras. Art: Paul Neary/Akin & Garvey.
Well put-together story about a dangerous mutant boy who has Proteus-like powers! The boy is snatched by the government and examined at Project: Pegasus...and guess who just happens to pop on by P:P as the boy's there? Yeah -- 'ol Shellhead! X-Factor gets involved (remember them?) on the boy's behalf, and IM joins 'em. The Guardsman makes an appearance, too!
Hube's Recommendation: 3 1/2 repulsors!
