Synopsis
Behind the Iron Curtain, Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev is led into the private laboratory of Professor Vanko, aka The Crimson Dynamo,
one of the world’s greatest experts on electricity. Vanko is dressed in
an outlandish red suit that gives him the appearance of a “human
dynamo”. Vanko provides a demonstration of the Crimson Dynamo’s powers
by disintegrating a robotic replica of Iron Man, then remotely
controlling a tank. He impresses Khrushchev greatly, despite concerns
that Vanko is too diabolical and egotistical to trust. Khrushchev
challenges the Crimson Dynamo to go to America and destroy Iron Man and sabotage Stark Industries’ defense efforts.
Two weeks later, near a missile test pad owned by Stark Industries, Pepper Potts, Happy Hogan
and Tony Stark gather to watch the test launch. Stark sneaks away and
changes into his Iron Man armor, just in case something goes wrong. The
Crimson Dynamo is hiding on the outskirts of the launch site, and uses
his control over electricity to cause the rocket to go out of control.
Iron Man soars into the air and grabs the nose-cone of the rocket,
slowing it enough so that he can use his armored body to absorb the
impact with the ground. The rocket and its crew are saved, but the
impact knocks Iron Man for quite a loop.
Frustrated, the Crimson Dynamo decides to extend his wave of
sabotage to other Stark Industries facilities, reasoning that Iron Man
can’t protect them all. He travels from site to site around country,
destroying facilities and burning each to the ground. Both Stark and the
Pentagon officials he deals with are concerned by this recent wave of
sabotage. In Washington D.C.,
a rumor is started that suggests Stark is working with the Communists
to waste military resources on projects that will never be completed.
Stark begins to worry about the government losing confidence in
his company and canceling his contracts, which would put him out of
business. Nearby, outside the Stark Industries headquarters, the Crimson
Dynamo is preparing to launch a final assault against Iron Man himself.
He dons his Crimson Dynamo armor and blasts through the perimeter fence
with an electrical bolt. Security alarms warn Stark about the
approaching menace, who jets into his office and changes into Iron Man.
Crashing through a wall, Iron Man comes face to face with the saboteur,
spotting the Crimson Dynamo for the first time! He infers based on the
nature of the recent acts of sabotage, that the Dynamo’s powers are
based on electricity. He devises a counter strategy, using his
transistor powers to create a protective force field.
He then takes to the air and goads the Crimson Dynamo into
confessing to his crimes, which he records on an ultra-sensitive tape
recorder built into his armor. He then begins knocking down trees, which
he uses to corral the Crimson Dynamo. Iron Man flies away, only to
return minutes later. He picks up the Crimson Dynamo and flies out over
Flushing Bay, threatening to drop him into the water. Fearing
electrocution, the Crimson Dynamo surrenders. Iron Man then plays for
him a recording, supposedly of Khrushchev ordering Vanko to be killed
when he returns to Russia. In actuality, Iron Man had secretly created
the message by imitating Khrushchev’s voice on his armor’s tape
recorder. Believing that his government has betrayed him, the Crimson
Dynamo accepts Iron Man’s offer to defect to United States and work for
Tony Stark using his technical genius for good.
Back in the Soviet Union, Khrushchev hears about the Crimson
Dynamo’s betrayal and flies into a rage, promising “I shall bury Iron
Man!”
