Following the death of Kevin O'Brien, the people around Tony Stark question whether the world still needs Iron Man. Burdened by doubt, Stark looks back on the wartime injury and the desperate invention that first forced him into the armor. The issue revisits his origin as he weighs whether to set the identity aside for good.
