(July, 1997) "Rebel Without a Cause."

 Script: Terry Shoemaker. Jeph Loeb. 

Art: Ryan Benjamin/JD, Norm Rapmund.  

Iron Man takes the defeated and not-quite-human Rebel O'Reilly to Reed Richards to find out just what the heck is going on. Tony convinces Reed to tap IM's systems into Rebel's -- at great risk to Stark! Tony and Reb re-live past memories together! Pretty cool read, offering long-awaited insights into the "original" HR Iron Man. First glimpse of HR Titanium Man, too!

Hube's Recommendation: 3 1/2 repulsors!
