In this episode:

Mike and Ed discuss the current situation with Tony Stark and Iron Man. Tony has been missing for over a month, and Iron Man is still in charge of Stark Enterprises, but the walls are closing in. Tony\\u2019s top lieutenants have quit the company, Iron Man is under a grand jury investigation, and Iron Man has also been suspended from the Avengers. Also: Why won\\u2019t the Avengers comment on the situation? When asked, Thor just went into a rant about how he was stronger than the Hulk. Is that is what is important right now?

Behind the comics:

Many of the comics in this era are in-universe responses to letters sent into Marvel. One of the common questions at the time was \\u201cwho is stronger, Thor or Hulk?\\u201d Stan\\u2019s response was this issue, in which Thor tells the \\u201cpreviously untold story\\u201d of his battle with the Hulk in Avengers #3.

In These Issues:

They speak to the police about the matter, and the newspapers find out about it, finally noticing that Tony Stark is missing and that Iron Man is now a suspect in his disappearance. Tony Stark, who is actually Iron Man, decides to deal with the situation. He decides the best way to do that is to appear to Happy as a sick Tony Stark who explains that Iron Man is in charge of the company on his behalf. Happy then supports the perspective that everything is legitimate. Meanwhile, the Mandarin uses a killer ray to attack the Earth. Specifically, to attack Iron Man, who escapes, although the news report that Tony\\u2019s home has been struck by a deadly ray of unknown origin.
