Tony is on a 747, a commercial flight, does not want a magazine but another martini, his third as she points out. He thinks this justified as he's drinking for two. He recalls his exhausting life as Iron Man as of late. Next thing you know a tank is thrown and hits the jet. Tony shoves an older lady to the ground to get to the commode to change to Iron Man. Iron Man grabs ahold of the 747 and slows it enough to gently skip across the ocean and come to a rest. The military was in the area and saved the passengers. Iron Man is taken to an island and told how Namor threw the tank as they tried to get an old man off the island where radioactive materials are dumped. Iron Man goes to talk to Namor. Namor throws a boulder and Iron Man can't react fast enough because of the 4th martini he had. Namor takes Iron Man under the ocean and back home, Rhodey and Bethany head out to rescue the downed plane. Iron Man escapes Namor when suddenly his seals to the helmet are opened and Tony begins to drown.
