TOS is one of the most underrated Marvel titles from the 60's. Really do not understand what more you could want: Iron Man (IM) by Gene Colon and Captain America (CA) by Jack Kirby! in this issue IM takes on Titanium Man (TM) and CA takes on the Super-Adaptoid (SA)! I like it when IM fights TM; kind of a comic 'Cold War' tech battle! And SA is a VERY underrated character. Great battle issue!

Captain America is shown at Avengers Mansion going through old scrapbooks and reminiscing. While doing a security check, he sees Agent Axis, who Cap thought was dead. He then sees Fang, the Warlord and much like Tony Stark in the last comic I read, Cap thinks he's losing his mind. He imagines himself in the past, fighting Nazis alongside Bucky. He collapses, and is attended to by Wanda and Pietro. He imagines them as well as Jarvis catches him. Meanwhile, Agents of Shield come across an A.I.M. scientist muttering about the Adaptoid being loose. We then meet the Adaptoid, who had been masquerading as Jarvis all evening. He then takes the form of Captain America and we are hit with a To Be Continued.

Iron Man takes on Titanium Man in the skies above Washington DC. When their battle moves to the ground, we see that a crowd has gathered to watch it, including Senator Byrd from his office window, and Pepper and Happy. Titanium Man uses his paralysis ray on Iron Man. It looks like he is done for until he pulls a live wire out to break the ray, only to realize that Titanium Man has used it on Pepper as the issue ends.
