Ultimo is back! He's been soaking up geothermal energy since issue #96, so he's more than ready to take apart Shellhead! He vaporizes Earth Mover, and moves on to destroy anything in his path! He disassembles the Telepresence Armor without flinching, leaving Tony in a coma! A small separate vignette shows Mrs. Arbogast calling in reinforcements -- namely Jim Rhodes and War Machine!!

Hube's Recommendation: 3 repulsors!
