Tony Stark is back in control of his company and he is informed by Hank Pym that his artificial heart seems to be evolving. Happy Hogan and Pepper Potts tell Tony there is no legal recourse for regaining the Stark-Fujikawa company and they fill him in on the Church of Yinsen, the trendy new celebrity religion brought to America by the Sons of Yinsen. Jocasta alerts Tony to an attack at Askew Electronics and Iron Man flies over to investigate and discovers he is facing the sentient armor which he deactivated and buried himself (issue #30); Jocasta is so panicked at the sight of the thing that she signs off. Iron Man fights his ex-armor and discovers it has been upgraded. The battle spills out into the skies above the city and Shellhead defeats his opponent with clever use of tech. He unmasks the armor as Sun Tao, formerly of the Sons of Yinsen, now delusional and muttering about “the Great Devil.” Askew CEO Callista Hancock tells Iron Man all of their new SKIN liquid metal is gone and Sun Tao doesn’t have it….
Examination shows that Sun Tao’s mind is gone and the armor is not the same one that was sentient but a copy. An alarm alerts Tony that the Church of Yinsen has come to visit him…and each member is wearing a duplicate of the armor. Their leader is the sentient armor and contains the brain of Professor Yinsen. Yinsen explains that Sun Tao has gone mad and they want him back—for his own safety, of course. Iron Man is suspicious and refuses to hand him over…so Yinsen orders the Sons to attack….
