Doomquest
Modern pirates attack an S.I. cargo vessel, but Iron Man intervenes to prevent the theft. He also orders the vessel back to port for reasons unknown. At a board meeting, it is revealed that the vessel was shipping components to Latveria, which was on Stark International's restricted purchasing list for years. Doom is upset that he didn't get the equipment he needs to use his time machine, so he steals them back. Iron Man chases the components to Latveria, where he faces off against Doom in combat, only to have Doom's intimidated lackey send Doom and Iron Man back in time, trying to lose them in the past forever.
