Synopsis
When the Cobra and Mr. Hyde begin a crime spree, Matt decides to try
and flush the crooks out by disguising himself as their old foe, the
thunder-god Thor. However, he attracts the wrong attention when Thor
learns about the ruse and attacks Daredevil for daring to pose as him.
After a brief battle (which attracts the attention of the two villains
in question) Thor leaves to attend to more important business, warning
Daredevil never to pose as him again. Soon after, Daredevil is attacked
by Mr. Hyde and the Cobra. During the fight, Mr. Hyde douses Daredevil’s
eyes with a chemical that would make a normal person blind, it effects
Daredevil in a similar way, eliminating his enhanced senses.
Il cattivo di turno è un tale Dr Strange, che a parte l’ omonimia non ha nulla a che vedere con l’ esoterico Stephen Signore delle Arti Mistiche. Nella traduzione italiana per evitare fraintendimenti è stato più opportunamente reso come LO STRANIERO

Synopsis
While at a charity fundraiser for a children’s hospital, Anthony Stark donates $100,000 dollars and states that he has contacted his friend Iron Man
to entertain the children the next day. He receives much applause from
the crowd, as well as the adoration of his girlfriend. Stark explains to
the girl that he has far too many responsibilities to make a good
husband. He’s has munitions plants to look after, scientific research to
conduct, as well as his work for the US Department of Defense. He
doesn’t tell her about his secret life as Iron Man or the metal chest
plate he must constantly to wear in order to keep his injured heart
beating.
The next day, Iron Man wows the kids at the children’s hospital
by hovering in the sky and juggling an assortment of cars. He also
catches a cannonball fired at him with his bare hands and crushes it! In
a nearby prison, a diabolical plan is about to come into fruition. The
villainous Doctor Strange
has heard of Iron Man’s publicity and he has rigged up a device from
tiny electronic parts confiscated from the radios he was permitted to
work on in the prison workshop. He feigns a dizzy spell and is led by
prison guards back to his cell, where he activates his device and
hypnotizes Iron Man! He sends a mental command that orders Iron Man to
free him from the prison.
Iron Man walks like a zombie through the prison, tearing down the
walls until he finally locates and frees Doctor Strange. He evades the
prison guard’s gunfire by flying him away from them. With Iron Man under
his mental control, Doctor Strange devises a plan to dominate the world
in order to impress his estranged daughter, Carla and make up for the many years that neglected her for his criminal career.
Doctor Strange releases Iron Man from his mental grip and sets
forth to hatch his plans for world domination. On an island somewhere
off the Atlantic coast of the United States, he shows his daughter Carla
her new home and introduces her to his new cadre of associates, some of
the most cunning scientists and power-mad military men on Earth.
Doctor Strange launched an “S-Bomb‿ into the upper atmosphere as a
demonstration of his destructive power, and then threatened to destroy
the entire planet unless every nation surrendered to him within 24
hours. Several nations trace his broadcast and launch nuclear weapons at
his island, which is protected by a virtually indestructible force
field.
Iron Man, approaches the island by submarine and, correctly
figuring that the force field would not extend below the surface of the
water, tunnels into the island base from below. Once inside, he
witnesses Doctor Strange and his daughter bickering over his recent
deeds. Carla is appalled at her father’s despotic plans and evil nature.
Iron Man smashes Doctor Strange’s electrical generators, accidentally
short circuiting his armor and draining its power supply in the process.
Iron Man is completely helpless until Carla tosses him a flashlight
containing two batteries, which Iron Man uses to recharge his armor. His
plot thwarted and fearing Iron Man, Doctor Strange vanishes from the
premises, saying goodbye to his “foolish” daughter.
Notes
- After breaking out of prison, Dr. Strange gathered a group of
international allies, “…the most cunning scientists and power-mad
military men on Earth!”, in his plot to take over the world. Some of
these allies may have been The Exiles. - This issue features the first time Iron Man uses his armor’s
boot jets to hover and truly fly. Up until now, his boot jets had only
been capable of allowing him to make jet-assisted leaps. - This issue also features the first time Iron Man uses his
armor’s magnetic capabilities to levitate ferrous objects (multiple
cars) and the first time he demonstrated that he could operate for short
durations under water (having been launched from a submarine).
