(Dec. 2001) "The

art: No idea! Script:
Frank Tieri. Art: Keron Grant/Stull, Perotta & Ketcham.
Well, phooey on me! So it wasn't Prof.
Yinsen in the Sentient
Armor (more on that later)! Iron
Man faces the combined armored might of the Sons
of Yinsen and appears to be holding his own quite
well -- he uses a new magnetic beam to attract the SoY
and hold them at bay -- until the "Yinsen"
Sentient Armor downs Shellhead!
Elsewhere, the rogue SoY Sun Tao
reveals what happened to him, and then has to battle the SoY himself! Jocasta
comes back online to awaken the downed Stark, and then reveals to Tony why she
fears the Sentient Armor so.
IM prepares to go back
to face the SoY, and
even has a device that counters their cloaking effect (you may wonder how in the
heck he did that -- I sure did!!)! Then Shellhead
makes a horrifying discovery: the SoY are all covered in SKIN!
It has been grafted to their own living tissue! As Stark realizes he has
to make a hasty exit, he grabs Sun Tao, jets off....but then crumples to the
ground in agony! The Sentient "Yinsen"
Armor is controlling Stark's heart! Tony tells the
villain that he now knows for sure that it is not Yinsen in the armor...and the
villain agrees. He slowly reveals himself to be...ULTRON!
Tieri
deals with a ridiculous premise (The Sons of Yinsen)
in a competent manner, while Grant's
[Iron Man and battle]
art is fairly impressive. Don't question how in the heck Ultron
got the IM
armor....it'll be revealed next ish!
Hube's Recommendation: 
1/2 repulsors!
