We made it to the double-digits, y'all! Welcome to Episode 10!

Here we are re-introduced to a formidable foe, and we are newly introduced to deadly new enemy who keeps both Tony AND Iron Man on their toes, in more ways than one. Not the least of which being that SHE happens to play on all of his worst weaknesses...

Dangerous women are not to be underestimated...

All right, so the villain in this one is the Scarecrow. Yes, there is a "Scarecrow" in Marvel comics as well! And he is... nothing to write home about, as far as I'm concerned. But since he appears in a main series Iron Man story, we're gonna give him his due anyway. As much as is warranted in any case...!

Pay closer attention to our lovely supporting cast in this one because they really get their moments! Everything involving Happy and/or Pepper is just DELIGHTFUL.
