Last time, Tony Stark was presumed dead, and Jim Rhodes was the new CEO of Stark Industries and the new Iron Man. And no one sent the memo over to the Avengers West Coast. Iron Man #286, "Dust to Dust," written by Len Kaminski, penciled by Kevin Hopgood, inked by Mike DeCarlo.

Even though he had knocked out Spymaster, Blizzard, Blacklash, and the Beetle; Jim was getting no slack from Hawkeye, Wasp, Dr. Hank Pym, or the Living Lightning. As Hawkeye puts it, "Avengers...dissemble." Hank, currently neither shrinking or growing as with his previous superhero identities, gives Iron Man a friendly handshake. A friendly handshake that shrinks him to action figure size. Lightning is the only one there who didn't know that Stark was Iron Man, but he gets behind trashing the presumed imposter. While they fight, Spymaster begins reviving his team; and Kathy Dare, the woman that shot Tony Stark and set his demise into motion, prepares to kill herself.
