Synopsis for ”Weep for a Lost Nightmare!”
Kevin O’Brien in the guise of the Guardsman brings Iron Man to Avengers Mansion. Captain America momentarily mistakes the Guardsman as the foe that injured Iron Man and confronts him. The two intially fight, but then the Guardsman explains that he took Iron Man to the mansion to aid him. The Guardsman uses the mansion’s equipment to repair Tony’s pacemaker.

Elsewhere, Mr. Kline fumes over his inability to control Stark’s mind, but he still is able to influence his subconscious dreams so he sends Tony nightmare images of the Night Phantom. Mr. Kline also built a Night Phantom android with plans to send it out to confront Iron Man. As Tony recovers at his penthouse, Kevin finds his attraction to Marianne difficult to control. After Kevin leaves, the Night Phantom android invades the penthouse and menaces Marianne. Tony drags himself from his wheelchair to become Iron Man and fights, only to then realize after he smashes its chest that he is facing another of Mr. Kline’s android.
