Recap

Susan and Ben are helping Reed install new security equipment in the Baxter Building. Johnny is busy having H.E.R.B.I.E. add racing stripes and flames to the Fantasticar. They're interrupted when Iron Man, clad in one of his older gray suits, opens fire on the building. Ben is knocked off the building and Susan goes to her rescue. When Iron Man scratches the Fantasticar, Johnny attacks him. Reed confirms that the suit is worn by Tony Stark's bodyguard while Ben leaps onto their attacker. He fires a blast into Ben's face, knocking him loose. He falls onto the Fantasticar and Iron Man blasts Susan back. Angry, she cuts off the armor's helmet with a force field and they discover that it's empty. It continues to attack them and Reed confirms that it's operated by remote control. More Iron Man suits arrive and attack the team...

Episode Quotes
Ben: Yeah, come on. We don't get attacked that much.
Susan: Ben, the building has been shot into space, pulled underground, invaded by Doombots, attacked by a giant monster, turned into a bomb and infested with bugs from another dimension.
Ben: Yeah, but I think most of that was Johnny's fault.

Ben: Nothing like falling 30 stories to start your day.

Tony Stark: Please, come right in. Though, you know, this is a very high-tech building. We have things called doors.

Ben: You know, you're pretty calm for someone who almost got deep-fried. It's just another day at the office for you?
Tony Stark: You'd be surprised.

Iron Man: I told you to leave this to me.
Johnny: Easy, Iron Chef, I'm sure you've totally got this covered. Oh, except for that guy shooting at you. And that guy.
Ben: Yeah, Shellhead. You're doing so good getting blasted I think up there, maybe I'll just take a little nap.

Dr. Doom: Do you really think the two of you have a chance against my terrible power?
Ben: Oh, your terrible power!
Johnny: And all this time, we thought we were fighting your terrible smell.

Dr. Doom: You would be wise to stay down, monster.
Ben: No one ever accused me of being wise.

Dr. Doom: I offered you a chance for survival.
Iron Man: Sorry, Doom, I'm a little more ambitious than that.

Dr. Doom: You have made yourself a deadly enemy today, Iron Man. We shall meet again.
Iron Man: But I don't want a deadly enemy.
Ben: Yeah, you get used to it.

Reed: Let's call it even. After all, there are so few of us.
Tony Stark: What? Rich, handsome geniuses?
Reed: I actually meant superheroes, but that works, too.
