An aggrieved Senator Byrd telephones and threatens Stark with a subpoena. Pepper, who still hates Tony Stark, shows concern for Iron Man.

Iron Man battles the Freak but is defeated when his power runs out. The Freak makes his way to Stark's lab where Pepper is dealing with an angry Senator Byrd. Byrd thinks the Freak is trying to attack Pepper and courageously tries to defend her. He is thrown across the room by the Freak. Pepper faints. The Freak lifts Pepper in his arms but drops her from an upstairs window when shot at by the police. Iron Man breaks her fall with his repulsor ray and then, back in the lab, fires his Enervation Intensifier at the Freak in a bid to change him back into Happy.

Enter the Mandarin, who drives off some invading Chinese soldiers and, at the same time, abducts Stark on his way to a court hearing by means of a teleportation device.

Part 1 of 3. The Avengers were apparently off fighting Power Man and The Swordsman during this story, as shown in THE AVENGERS #29 (June 1966). Warlord Krang plot continues from TALES TO ASTONISH #81 (July 1966), even though that issue probably came out a week or two after this one. Because of Stark's problems with the law, SHIELD was forced to seek other sources of weapons and technology, seen in STRANGE TALES #146-149 (July-October 1966).

Iron Man frees Pepper from the Titanium Man's paralysis beam and then goes on to defeat him on live T.V. A final, deafening blast from Titanium Man's beam restores Happy's memory. Titanium Man flies off to his supposed rendezvous with the submarine but is abandoned by his masters before he gets there and is left to languish in the ocean.

Happy, memory intact, now knows the truth -- that Stark is Iron Man!
