Friday Night Fights--Worse Than Tony Stark Style!!

For the finale of this edition of Friday Night Fights, our master of ceremonies Spacebooger has commanded that we use Spider-Man.

Well, good. If there's one thing I like, it's using Peter Parker during Friday Night Fights.

But you know what else I like even more? Seeing Iron Man get his ass kicked.

Let's see what we can do to combine those, shall we??

Arno Stark is the first cousin once removed of Tony Stark, and is the Iron Man of the year 2020. He's also an arrogant dickweed (hmmm, perhaps it's genetic) who prefers to use the armor for personal gain and glorification.

Anyhoo, a terrorist is about to blow up Stark's complex (and the whole city surrounding it). Unfortunately, the terrorist died real good, and since the only way to disarm the bomb was with his retina pattern, Stark 2020 has to travel back to 1986 to get a retina scan of the terrorist as a youth.

But, since Arno is a jerk and an idiot, instead of asking for help, or even stopping to explain himself, he goes on a bit of a rampage, killing a minor villain who gets in his way, and endangering the kid.

Fortunately, Spider-Man happens along.

Less fortunately, the kid still gets maimed:



Well, this pisses off Peter pretty good. So prepare for, as the Road Runner cartoons would say, Beatdownamus Awesomenus:










Ouchimus Maximus...

Fact: Spacebooger could put this big a beatdown on Iron Man, but only in the gray armor.

Complete and total butt-whoopery is from Amazing Spider-Man Annual #20 (1986), "from an original story by Fred Schiller," script by Ken McDonald, art by Mark Beachum and Bob Wiacek.

Now, loyal readers, this is the prize round, and the winner gets a $5 Amazon gift certificate. And I wants me that prize. So, vote as if your life depended on it, so I can buy stuff. Oh, I'll probably buy stuff anyway...but c'mon, 5 dollars, people!!

Read this story as a back-up strip in the Marvel UK weekly Transformers comic, think in 1987. At the time, it may even have been my first exposure to Spider-Man's black costume, which I instantly thought was amazingly cool in design. I still do...nostalgia, eh!
