"Alone Against A.I.M."

Script: Archie Goodwin

Art: Gene Colan/ Johnny Craig

IM is taken to Mordius' island and placed into an X-ray photo chamber. This machine analyzes his armor, then sends its specifications to a vario-mold matrix. This instantly makes three copies of IM's armor! IM breaks free revealing he was only faking. The three copy suits do not respond to control. He defeats all three and destroys the fortress. In the back of the book is a three-page featurette telling the origin of IM. Great fight scenes with four Iron Men all together, with no way for Mordius to tell which one is which.
