Stark has been beaten within an inch of his life -- but the Black Widow saves him in the proverbial nick! But get this -- Stark, who finally discovered who is behind many of the attacks against him, insists on putting on his armor to go after him!! And guess who "him" is -- the Mandarin!! Guest-starring: The Russian Winter Guard!! Does anyone besides me think it is a total stretch for Stark, who was basically dead, to don armor and actually give Mandy a fight?? Yeesh.
Hube's Recommendation: 3 1/2 repulsors!
