"Stark Wars" chapter 6! The U.S. government contracts Edwin Cord (the man behind the Raiders, remember?) to utilize his new Firepower armor to neutralize the rogue Avenger, Iron Man! IM flies up to his space station (still infected with that A.I.M. anaerobic bacteria) to try to detect the last armored outfit still using Stark technology; he succeeds, and it is none other than Firepower himself! The two armored titans meet in the desert, and Firepower is all over Shellhead! Tony is getting the tar kicked out of him, and the last we see of the Silver Centurion armor is it flying away from Stark's helicopter -- and then is nuked by Firepower's "Terminax" missile!!
Hube's Recommendation: 5 repulsors!
