Angel figures the best way to catch Magneto's gang's attention is to steal TNT and start tossing it in random places around town. Iron Man finally finds the ex-X-man (Angel's words, not mine), and they have a rather lame fight. Finally, Iron Man shocks Angel back to being normal by using all the energy in his jet boots, letting Angel punch him and then plummeting to his death.
Nah. Angel turns back to normal at the shocking nature of his evil act and saves Iron Man before he hits the ground. Everybody wins. Except us, gentle readers. Except us.
ETC: When Prof. Xavier gets back from shopping or whatever kept him from being around when Angel quit the team, he decides to call for help regarding said Angel situation. I guess because he's the controlling kind of coach who wants you playing for his team or not at all, dammit. He calls the Avengers, but none of them are available. He doesn't even attempt to call the Fantastic Four. And really, why the fuck would you?
MIA: Any type of understanding how radioactivity affects the human mind.
MVP: Tony's Magnetic Repellers. Which allows Iron Man to slow his descent when he's run out of boot juice and is falling to a grisly death. I am not sure how that (or anything in this comic, really) works, but Tony even admits they are awesome. "I just love you little magnetic repellers!" (Pepper could not be reached for comment, but we can probably assume her jealousy shot up to dangerous levels.)
WTF: After Angel and Iron Man scrap the first time, Iron Man ends up falling and damaging his breast plate. He plans to fix it and calls Pepper to tell her to hold his calls. Two weird things happen. 1, in the narration bar, Tony is incorrectly called "Anthony Blake." 2, when Tony says he wants to be left alone for a couple hours, Pepper responds (into a phone, I should point out), "I read you loud and clear, boss!" I didn't realize people in the 60s treated the telephone like walkie talkies.
