Tony Stark has hit rock bottom due to the machinations of Obadiah Stane. While his allies in the Illuminati debate whether or not to help him, Stark makes his way to the impoverished Imperio district of Los Angeles, where he hopes to rebuild his fortune, reputation, and the community with an ambitious new startup. Stark's crusade quickly draws the attention of Geoffrey Wilder, leader of the Pride, who is determined to destroy any threats to his criminal empire.
