Previous Post Quote: I mean first you have Iron Man saying that he could never beat Namor. And now you have Temugin, a guy who absolutely crushed Iron Man, taken down by Hulk just clapping in his general direction. Shouldn't a guy who crushes Iron Man at least need Hulk to punch him cleanly a couple of times before going down? Not only does Iron Man get no respect, but his universe gets no respect. Iron Man still gets plenty of respect. He actually beat both Namor and Hulk in his last two outings. Its just that he had to use more brains than brawn (and a bit of luck in Hulk's case ) to do it. On another note... didn't Mandarin (the poster) claim that Temugin had been "nerfed" of all his chi when he lost his arm ? Because it sure looks like to me like Tem still has something left in the tank as far as his chi is concerned. Also (presumably) he is no idiot and wouldn't be so foolish to attack heavies like Sentry and Hulk using mere kungfu/targeting weak spot techniques alone unless he figured that his "chi" would carry him to victory.

Really liked this title this month for a change. From cool cover to catchy codename introduced in the commendable cliffhanger. Very good art enhanced the flowing story. Ironically, the only displeasing thing is the inclusion of Temugin on the team; but its good to see Ken is on my side about him. As for his power showing it seems acceptable and as his target is the Hulk the degree of damage is still debatable. Still, do not see him as a mano o mano threat to Iron Man. The only members Tony should have trouble one on one against are Bob, maaaybe M-11 and Mr Lao - and even Venus. Even if she cant get him to hear her she is still a beauteous beautiful babe and he can see her. And if she decides to fight from a hot tub...
