Synopsis for "Rokk Cometh!"
Iron Man throws himself into assisting operations in Detroit to keep the company on its feet. Just as he is being congratulated by the mayor, Dr. Spectrum attacks him. After Iron Man's ultraviolet light proves superior to Spectrum's Power Prism, Spectrum flees. Returning to his office, Tony finds Happy waiting. Happy threatens to fight him, but is reluctant to hit a man with his heart condition. When Tony reveals that he no longer needs his pacemaker, Happy punches him. Pepper breaks up the fight just as Eddie March and Dr. Obatu arrive. Obatu asks to hire Iron Man as his bodyguard when the entity Rokk appears, threatening Obatu's life. Rokk kidnaps Obatu and telepathically determines that Tony cares for Roxanne Gilbert, so heads after her. Tony becomes Iron Man and pursues Rokk to Roxanne's organic food store. Rokk drops Obatu and fights Iron Man, but just as Rokk is nearing defeat he vanishes; Dr. Spectrum appears and reveals that he created Rokk with the Power Prism and now Iron Man is too weak to defeat him.
