"Iron Man: Making An Appearance" - Tony Stark is at a charity gala, schmoozing as per his usual, when things go awry with his new date. It seems she's not who she appears to be... "Bobby and Sam in Mojoworld" - Cannonball and Sunspot are ready to kick back for some vacation time when they get whisked away to Mojoworld.
