Minions of the White Dragon ambush Tony Stark, and implant a tracking device in him for reasons unrevealed this issue. With no memory of the event, Tony Stark continues about his business, though he lacks focus, and seems to suspect something is up. He is eventually downed by the White Dragon's minions, to be found by Kevin O'Brian, but in doing so convinces the White Dragon that Tony Stark and Iron Man are one and the same.
