More stuff than you can shake a transistor at: the Stark L.M.D. continues to make life difficult for the real Tony, who's forced to break into Stark Industries with new love interest Madame Masque at the command of Midas. Plus -- the original gold armor! Plus -- this one leads to Tony's heart transplant (finally) in Avengers #69!
