[edit] Ultimo Versus the Iron Legion
In Iron Man (1st series) #300, the 64 pages edition, Ultimo fights the Iron Legion. The Iron Legion is lead by Jim Rhodes, in the War Machine Armor, as he is accompanied by Happy Hogan, Eddie March, Bethany Cabe, Mike O'Brien and Carl Walker. With the exception of Bethany, everyone has previously worn an Iron Man suit. However, Rhodes says that from "Personal experience" that Bethany knows how to handle herself. Since Stark is down, Rhodes calls them in, and has Zimmer take all the old suits out of storage, (with the exception of the gold variant of the original) and has him get all the suits up to somewhat functional standards. However, Zimmer says that they will not function anywhere near capacity, since Stark stored them with the idea that they would never be used again, and for sentimental reasons. Eddie is in the original suit, and is the first to get hit by Ultimo. His attempted rescue by Carl, in the Invincible Iron Man suit, leads to Carl getting shot, and the suit begins to melt, forcing him to have to eject. While Beth and Happy aid Carl and Eddie, Rhodes, together with Mike in the Silver Centurian suit attack Ultimo in order to provide a distraction. At this point, Rhodes has decided that this wasn't what he had in mind for this battle. He decides on a new plan. Happy is to get Carl and Eddie to the hospital, while Bethany and Mike head to Futura to start evacuations. Bethany objects, and convinces Rhodes to allow her to buy time against Ultimo with him. At this point, Tony Stark has come out of his coma and has donned the new Modular Iron Man suit. With a Full-Spectrum Scanalyzer and Railgun Launcher, he heads out to aid in the fight against Ultimo. Stark successfully takes out Ultimo singlehandedly, and Ultimo is deactivated. His scanner indicates that Ultimo is several thousand years old, and intends to have it hauled off for study.
