Synopsis for ”Soul on Ice”
A techno-organic parasite, infected tony, Starks nervous system and completely destroyed it and caused his death. At Stark Enterprises, while Tony Stark is at 40° kelvin, they are working on a artificially engineered, viral transcription agent that will be injected like a virus and injected and restore a fully functional artificial nervous system. The only drawback is, there’s no memories so everything has to be reprogrammed, and a chip is inserted near the medulla. There are flashbacks and memories that occur while Tony Stark is at the cryogenic state, But somehow or another, he has consciousness, and actually takes control of the reboot computer that’s programming his mind, and he sends a terminal greeting to his staff, saying he was always one who liked to take control. He states that “ I always did like the idea of being a self-made man”

Notes
This issue was sold with a ”foil” cover with reflective metallic type and insets.
Story II is primarily a flashback tale with Tony Stark reprocessing a lot of his memories.
Hawkeye and the Black Widow are depicted in their early costumes, such as the ones pictured in this adventure: Tales of Suspense #64.
