Tony Stark tests his Iron Man armor near Pacific Park.

Stark takes the armor into the desert for tests, wanting to make sure everything is perfect. Meanwhile, Potts discovers that someone had stolen the design for the armor. She sends Stark a warning, but gets attacked by Iron Monger, who announces himself.
Stark arrives and prevents Iron Monger from hurting Potts, leading to a fight. Iron Monger taunts Stark, referring to their armors as weapons, and the two continue to fight. Stark is crushed by a car and Iron Monger prepares to kill him, but gets hit by a truck. Stark returns to Stark Industries Headquarters to check for danger, and realizes that the fight caused significant damage. Iron Monger returns, but Stark blasts him, collapsing the roof and defeating Iron Monger. Stark stands proud, ready for threats in the future.
