The Living Laser returns and takes control of a SHIELD sattelite, and director Nick Fury gives Tony twenty minutes to settle the situation before the whole place goes kablooey.
Tropes
- Abusive Parents: This episode reveals Living Laser had a verbally abusive, spirit-breaking mother.
- Adults Are Useless: SHIELD tells Iron Man they have the threat of an orbital laser cannon under control...then their entire squadron is immediately wiped out.
- And Then What?:When the Living Laser takes over a Kill Sat, he initially has no idea what to do with it. The SHIELD operatives on board have to lead him into making some actual demands.
- Do Wrong, Right: The SHIELD Agents held "hostage" by the Living Laser are the ones to point out to him that he needs to make some demands or else what he's doing is pointless.
- It Only Works Once: Tony beats the Living Laser the first time by matching his repulsors to the same frequency as the Living Laser's body. In this episode, the Living Laser learns how to change his own frequency and effectively shut out Iron Man's strategy.
