The Hard Way / Iron Man 2020: Endless Stolen Sky, Part 2 / Hero's Diner / Mojoworld
"The Hard Way" - The Punisher isn't as familiar with the creature in front of him as Wolverine is. Since it targets mutants, Wolverine handles it solo, and tells the Punisher to fend for cover. Instead, the Punisher starts to deal with Kimura. "Iron Man 2020: Endless Stolen Sky" - Arno Stark is shmoozing with the best of them, treating the rich and elite to the first ride on a public helicarrier. That makes the helicarrier a target for some rather unsavory elements. "Hero's Diner" - M.O.D.O.K. is travelling through the desert, only to stumble upon a hero themed diner. He can tolerate the Captain America Waiter, the overweight Spider-Chef, and the very un-Thor like Host of Thunder, but when he learns he was the inspiration for a sugar decanter, and unleashes his unstoppable wrath. "Mojoworld" - Sunspot and Cannonball are starting into contract negotiations with Mojo, which is done via a game show format. Once they determine how Mojo has rigged the rules, they start to get some rules laid out that they want.
