The Invincible Iron Man (Marvel;Re)/Special

This is the special issue of the Invincible Iron Man which consists of three stories designed to set up some plot points as all of the issues are set some time before Issue Seven.

All in the Family
The issue begins with Necro defeating several security guards as he broke into a prison. He entered the prison and walks to the cell where Maya Hansen is.


 * Maya: Who are you?!
 * Necro: I-I am your son.
 * Maya: I never gave birth.
 * Necro: That can't be! I am your son! Don't you recognize this face?!

He removed his mask.


 * Maya: I have never seen you before in my life.
 * Necro: Bullshit! Don't lie to me!
 * Maya: I am not lying!
 * Necro: Fine. This face will be the last face you will ever see then.

He places his mask back on and fired a bullet directly in Maya's face as she dropped dead. Necro screamed loudly in anger as suddenly someone has arrived.


 * Necro: Who are you?!
 * ???: I am Count Nefaria of the Maggia and I figured I should tell you of your real past.
 * Necro: What is it?
 * Nefaria: Maya Hansen was not your mother. But she is in your DNA. You are a genetically engineered human being with the DNA of Tony Stark, Maya Hansen and the Extremis infused terrorist, Mallen. You being Maya's son was just a test. And you passed.
 * Necro: I-I am a clone?
 * Nefaria: Not a full clone. Just a hodgepodge of DNA of those people. You are the perfect weapon for the Maggia.
 * Necro: Why would I trust you?! How old am I really?!
 * Nefaria: You are three years old. We implanted memories for the other twenty years of "your life".
 * Necro: I have been lied to! Why would I trust you?!
 * Nefaria: Oh. That's a simple answer. I would help you kill Iron Man. You still have that hunger to see the Armored Avenger fall. Don't you?
 * Necro: I do.
 * Nefaria: Then follow me. I will activate your Extremis filled blood.
 * Necro: Okay then.

He followed Nefaria as the story ends.

Tinker Tailor Iron Soldier Spy
It begins in Moscow as Bethany Cabe as she is talking to Clay Quatermain on earpiece, revealing she got a job as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.


 * Clay: Remember you mission.
 * Bethany: Stop that arms deal from happening.
 * Clay: Bingo. We already found a way for you to enter that party and the arms deal. You are now Miss Ivana Krukoff. Find the arms deal and sabotage it. Quatermain out.

Bethany walked to the location of the party as a waiter walked to her.


 * Waiter: Miss Krukoff, want to go to the more intimate party now?
 * Bethany: Yes. Lead me there.

The waiter brought her to the arms deal/auction which is being ran by Ivan Kivelki aka the Black Death. People including Eddie Yarkov, Elena Ivanova, Ivan Kronov aka Russia's Electrocand M.O.D.O.T. are at the auction.


 * Black Death: Welcome comrades to this auction. I have gained various interesting items from the aftermath of heroes battles. Including the now fully operational: Titanium Man armor.
 * Bethany: (to herself) Titanium Man? I need to buy this.

M.O.D.O.T. raises a card for 5,000 dollars. Bethany then raises her card up as they silently duel for the suit until Bethany brings in an astonishing one million.


 * Black Death: Miss Krukoff, you may try on the suit.

Bethany puts on the suit and notices where the weapons are and fires a missile at them. Electro, noticing this assaults Bethany and tries to destroy the suit. Bethany grabs Electro and throws him into M.O.T.O.T. Black Death just looks at Bethany in the Titanium Man armor and watches her fly off.


 * M.O.D.O.T.: Why are you not following her?!
 * Black Death: She is an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. and besides, I already got her under my thumb.

It cuts to Bethany relaxing in her home as suddenly Black Death arrives in her house.


 * Bethany: What are you doing here?!
 * Black Death: You think I don't keep track of my merchandise?
 * Bethany: The Titanium Man armor is already with S.H.I.E.L.D.
 * Black Death: Not the armor. You. You will be my little mole inside of S.H.I.E.L.D. and you can't say no. I already placed the programming in. Orkrytyy.

Bethany now is standing still as Black Death laughs and the story ends.

A.I.
It begins in an abandoned Stark Industries lab as an A.I. wakes up. He walks through the lab seeing various half destroyed Iron Man suits and Ultron drones. The A.I. noticed an exit and ran towards it. Suddenly: he gets pulled back into the room.


 * Stark Intercom: Warning: A.I.s can't leave Stark Industries Hong Kong without a suit.
 * A.I.: Without a suit eh?

The A.I. finds one of the suits and puts it on. Suddenly emergency systems rings as it shows the text that the suit needs a working arc reactor and helmet. The A.I. in the suit goes to one of the suits and rips the arc reactor out of it and then places a new helmet on the suit as well.


 * A.I.: Hello suit. Do you recognize me?
 * Armor's Regular Systems: Processing A.I.... Welcome to the Mark Twelve suit: H.O.M.E.R.
 * H.O.M.E.R.: Please call me the Gunsmith. Stark took everything away from me. It's time for me to take it back.

The newly christened Gunsmith walks out of the lab as the story ends.
