Iron Man returns to Stark International with the captive Controller. He heads to Abe Klein’s lab and submerses the villain in a vat of molten super-strong fiber-plastic while he figures out what to do with him permanently. Elsewhere, Controller’s derelict sidekick Scrounger is assaulting people and taking over their minds with slave discs….
As he gets ready to leave for the day, Tony Stark meets his new secretary, Krissy Longfellow. By now Scrounger has affixed enough slave discs to unwilling victims to give Controller all the strength he needs to break out of the vat of plastic and go on a rampage through the plant. Tony excuses himself and dons his armor to fight the powerful villain as Iron Man. The battle is brutal and Iron Man finds himself overmatched. He flies the captive into the sky to gain some breathing room while he figures out what to do….
The Controller uses his psychic powers to cause the one Blood Brother to break out of his vault at Ryker’s Island and fight with the guards. Elsewhere we see Scrounger driving a bus full of captives toward the prison. Picking up news of the riot at the prison, Iron Man flies there carrying the Controller (who has the hero in his strong grip) with him. Shellhead now has two very powerful brutes to battle so he snatches up a slave disc and places it on the Blood Brother’s forehead. Since the alien baddie has a symbiotic connection with his brother, this drains him of all his strength. The Controller’s exoskeleton then burns out leaving the villain helpless. In the confusion Scrounger drags the Controller back to the pit beneath the lot to resume their former master-servant relationship leaving Scrounger the only happy one.
