Six months after the Battle of New York; Stark continued building up the Iron Legion, creating new suits for all possible eventualities. While in his Malibu Mansion, Stark tested out the new Mark XLII, which was built so that he could now summon various pieces of the armor when needed. He ignored J.A.R.V.I.S.'s concern about his lack of sleep, pointing out Albert Einstein went without a lot of sleep and invented many things. Stark recruited Dum-E and U to assist him in filming the newest test.
Some glitches with the new armor included the face plate and crotch plate, which hurt him if they impacted by themselves. With just the helmet to go, Stark noticed it was upside down so flipped himself over to help it fit. However as Stark celebrated, a final piece knocked him over and caused the suit to fall apart. Right after testing the new armor, Stark watched television, only to see that the terrorist Mandarin had made yet another attack on the United States of America. At the same time, James Rhodes had his own suit rebranded as Iron Patriot under President Matthew Ellis' direct orders to him.
