Episode
At some docks in New York, the well-dressed arms dealer Count Nefaria stands with some henchmen, and a large shipping container. A limo arrives, followed by some thugs on motorcycles. Out from the limo steps Wilson Fisk, the Kingpoin of Crime. They are about to make an illegal arms deal with what Nefaria only refers to as "the ultimate weapon". Just then, one of Nefaria's guards looks up, gasps, and shoots at an unseen object. He is hit by a repulsor blast, and falls off of the dock. Iron Man lands down. The armed henchmen attack him, but he fights them off with ease. Fisk gets into his limo and drives away. Iron Man is focused on Nefaria. Nefaria laughs, and pulls out a small device. He uses the device to activate the weapon in the shipping container, which turns out to be a large android. Nefaria tells Iron Man to say hello to the "Dreadknight". As the Dreadknight battles Iron Man, Nefaria escapes. Iron Man and the Dreadknight end up taking their battle up into the air, where Iron Man manages to blow up the android's head with a repulsor blast from his chest. Iron Man suddenly gets a call from Pepper Potts, who tells him that the Hulk is attacking San Francisco. Iron Man disposes of the destroyed android, and then flies off.
