Opener featuring the Mandarin chopping up some hapless opponents with his martial arts prowess. *Yawn.* How long will this be drawn out? Meanwhile, Tony and Rhodey try to put off the "inevitable" (Stark's death) as long as possible (Tony constructs his "neuro-web" to assist his decaying nervous system). Hey -- do 'ya think the call from the Chinese embassy to Tony will somehow get Mandy involved?? Oh yeah -- the Black Widow shows up!
Hube's Recommendation: 3 repulsors!
