Disclose Notes: Acts of Vengeance begins in this issue and is one of the few major Marvel crossovers not anchored by one-shots or a limited series. The concept is that the major villains of the Marvel Universe (Red Skull, Dr. Doom, Magneto, Mandarin, Kingpin, Wizard and Loki) arrange to have bad guys who normally fight a particular hero switch up and battle a different foe, presumably for a better result. The crossover officially ran through the following books: Alpha Flight #79, 80; The Amazing Spider-Man #326-329; The Avengers #311-313; Avengers Spotlight #26-29; Avengers West Coast #53-55; Captain America #365-367; Mutant Misadventures of Cloak and Dagger #9; Damage Control (1989 series) #1-4; Daredevil #275, 276; Dr. Strange, Sorcerer Supreme #11-13; Fantastic Four #334-336; The Incredible Hulk #363; Iron Man #250-252; Marc Spector: Moon Knight #8-10; New Mutants #84-86; Power Pack #53; Punisher (1987 series) #28, 29; Punisher War Journal #12; Quasar #5, 6; Spectacular Spider-Man #158-160; Thor #411, 412; The Uncanny X-Men #256-258; Web of Spider-Man #59-61; Wolverine (1989 series) #19, 20; X-Factor #50.

Tales from the Vault Part 2

Story  on  Interior Page(s)
Subject Matter
Genres: superhero
Character(s): Hawkeye [Clint Barton]; Iron Man [Tony Stark]; Guardsmen; Orka; Scarecrow; Whirlwind; Yetrigar
First Line: The Vault is open...
Synopsis: Iron Man arrives to help control the breakout at the Vault. His reception is less than welcome as Tony in the Iron Man armor was responsible for the last prison break during the Armor Wars. Hawkeye shows up as well and, once he's convinced that Iron Man wasn't responsible, helps him rescue the fallen Guardsmen.

Disclose Notes: It appears as though Tony Stark is in the Iron Man suit, but that he pretends to be James Rhodes in this story. Evidence from issue 29 (that continues this story) shows Captain America talking to Iron Man in such a way that he appears to know that Stark is in the suit. Iron Man appears to confirm it when he thinks "I must work on my cover story."
