(Feb., 2001) "Remote Control." Cover art: Alitha Martinez. Script: Frank Tieri. Art: Alitha Martinez/Rob Hunter. Tony Stark's greatest childhood rival, Tiberius Stone, moves back to the States from Europe. Hey, they're good rivals, though (at least in flashback)! Tony tests out his new teleportation technology (pieced together from Sons of Yinsen and Reed Richards tech) -- but why in the world is he still in the Classic Red and Gold armor? It's starting to get ridiculous. Stark also attends a big bash for Stone's U.S. homecoming, Rumiko's pissed at him, Pepper and Happy ponder leaving Stark Solutions....and at issue's end Tony catches Rumiko in the sack with Stone!! Many questions left unresolved, but for the most part well-done and leaves you anticipating next ish. Some readers, like me, may wonder if IM incorporating teleportation tech will make him "too tough" a la the "Chameleon Effect."
Hube's Recommendation: repulsors!
