(July, 2001) "The
Big Bang Theory." Cover
art: Keron Grant & Rob Stull. Script:
Frank Tieri. Art: Keron Grant/Stull, Story & Perotta.
Tony Stark has essentially "erased" his identity and has now become
tech wiz "Hogan Potts" at
Askew Electronics. Yep, you got it -- T.S. is a 9-5 average joe, now!! Yeesh. On
his way to work, the Shocker
wrecks the subway car Stark is on, and we see him battle Shock in a prototype
armor. The armor looks like crap, which is fitting since it goes along w/the
rest of the story. Shocker is defeated, Stark gets chewed out by his boss for
being late again, but then later we see Iron Man
testing his new suit of armor at Askew's labs! (Wonder how they checked his ID
to verify it is indeed IM
and not some baddie posing as IM....not
to mention how "Potts" can actually work on the IM
w/o anybody getting suspicious! It's not Tony Stark in his own private lab
anymore, after all!) The material dubbed SKIN
is apparently used in IM's
new duds, and at least that looks like a cool idea. In the waning pages,
the "Mad Bomber" who has been plaguing NYC the last few days
now transmits a bomb into Shellhead's
armor! To be continued!!
Hube's Recommendation: 
repulsors!
