Synopsis

Doc Samson recruits Captain Ultra to help him track down the missing Tony Stark. Trying to be helpful, Maya tells Tem that she has written a code into his deadly new virus that renders it useless unless it comes into instant contact with a human and Tem finds that he cannot undo her unsolicited work. Tony discovers that the people he is searching for who have been abducted for human experimentation all share something in common with his genetic code. Iron Man battles one of the missing mentally handicapped kids and discovers that someone has given him powers using the Extremis process.
