Synopsis for "The Power of Iron Man!"

This story continues from the events in Tales of Suspense #80... The Sub-Mariner has attacked Iron Man for his interference in his hunt for revenge on Warlord Krang and Lady Dorma. The battle had brought him to Stark Industries. Namor had to flee the fight in order to expose himself to water and regain his waning strength.
Returning to Stark's factory, Namor resumes his battle against the golden avenger before the police. The battle starts going in Namor's favor, however Iron Man manages to regain his strength and begin fighting off Namor, until Namor detects the location of Warlord Krang and Lady Dorma and flees the scene to deal with them. After his departure, Iron Man also departs and switches back to Tony Stark where he makes a phone call to Senator Harrington Byrd to get himself back on the side of the law.

Synopsis for "The Battle Cry of the Boomerang!"

Continued from last issue... Returning to the surface following his battle against Tyrannus, the Hulk finds himself attacked by the army, who are still out looking for Betty Ross who had been kidnapped by the Boomerang. When Ross scolds them for letting the Hulk get away (believing that the Hulk is responsible), they begin their next plan to stop both the Hulk and Boomerang.
Meanwhile, the members of the Secret Empire who are afraid of Number-Nine's rise to power soon find themselves one member less when one of their members triggers a booby trap that blasts him with poisonious gas.
Elsewhere, the Hulk manages to find the Boomerang, who is flying across the desert with Betty Ross as his hostage. The Hulk attacks, and is able to repell all the Boomerangs attacks. While Ross and his company learn of the battle and race to get to it, the Hulk manages to fight off Boomerang and save Betty Ross.
