Iron Man 1968 #196 Direct ed. - back issue - $4.00

The Iron Man armor that was left behind in the dimension Rhodes had entered is possessed by an entity known as Omnos, who comes to Earth in search of its rightful owner. Meanwhile the dinosaur that had battled Iron Man enters Dr. Demonicus' underwater lair carrying the gray armor that Tony had worn. Demonicus decides to wear the armor himself to battle Iron Man and, while looking for him, engages the Omnos-possessed armor in battle. Tony arrives on the scene wearing a makeshift costume and is able to magnetize the suits of armor together. Omnos then returns to its dimension.

On-sale date from Amazing Heroes #68.

• - Page count from Mike Lorentz on 1 August 2004. Dr. Demonicus talks about his plans to create giant monsters to rule the world dubbed "Pax Demonicus". In one panel he's seen walking by huge vats where he is creating his monsters. Ultimately in latter appearances this never happened as Dr. Demonicus would end up mutating humans rather than giant monsters. He next appears in *Avengers West Coast* #70 (1991). The mutated Godzilla had previously appeared in issue #194. He would next appear in *The Thing* #31 (1986). A one panel flashback of Dr. Demonicus and the mutated Godzilla appear in *Avengers West Coast Annual* #6 (October 1991). Jim Rhodes jokingly refers to Tony Stark in his new costume as "Spare-Parts Man".
