Iron Man is with all his restored friends. Tony Stark shows up and demands to know what is going on. He chews out Iron Man, and Pym as Yellowjacket speaks up for Iron Man. And, Tony satisfied with the explanation lets everyone go. Iron Man takes on Jack of Hearts as an apprentice. Iron Man goes back with Whitney Frost. Tony Stark was a Life Model Decoy (LMD). Jack finds that the Growing Man came from the Moon and bursts in to tell Tony Stark. The LMD yells at him for bursting in unannounced. Then sends Jack and Iron Man to the Moon. The Winter Guard, Crimson Dynamo, Dark Star, and Vanguard meet them there and attack them. They both blame each other and find a giant blue dome that looks like an egg. Iron Man wakes up and attacks, especially because of the Crimson Dynamo (the former Dynamo murdered Janice Cord). They stop fighting when Iron Man learns there is a new person in the Dynamo suit, Dimitri Bukharin. Iron Man and Jack head into the Egg like dome as the Winter Guard watches on.
