Ultimate Armor Wars #1-4

After Ultimatum Tony Stark is low on money and is going through the ruins of New York City to reach the Stark Headquarters while also live recording a podcast because he has to make money somehow. Inside he finds Justine Hammer, who is there looking for his nanites to save herself from some superpowers, and then he’s notified of another figure. The other figure who got past his DNA lock and escapes is recognized by Justine as The Ghost, a professional thief. Justine saves Tony during the escape so he gives her the nanites she was looking for while letting her keep her powers.
Tony realizes he needs to get back the tech that The Ghost stole and invites Justine along.
With the money running low, Tony sets off, hooks up with Justine on the way, and tracks their target to Doctor Faustus who bought the tech. Tony brings the iMan suit, a portable Iron Man skin and finds Faustus’ base. Faustus has been killing agents who tries to kill him with his bad Iron Man cyborgs. Tony turns off the tech and kills them with the iMan. Faustus reveals he’s a man suit with a MODOK like body inside who reveals he passed the data to Bram Velsing, from a family of weird horny German Nazis who lives in Frankenstein’s old castle.
Velsing has his own suit now and was also attached by Ghost. Justine ends up saving Tony from Velsing and allows Tony to go and hack Velsing’s suit threatening to leave him locked in a suit. Velsing reveals he sold the tech to the British but he also paid for access to fast assembly nano tech that was DNA coded to Tony. He bought it from the Ghost who stole it back but also sold the tech off to the British.
The British have built some anti-riot gear they’re using on protestors and Tony’s suit is still very damaged. Tony flies in telling them to stop it while sending Justine in to get the sales information to the press. Tony’s fight damages his suit before Ghost shows up, knocking the suit out and sending him out into the river – but the last of the riot suits saves him as the revelation it was bought from a weapons dealer is controversial.
Justine helps him and Tony reveals he coated Ghost with radiation to track him so after Justine and Tony hook up again but they’re attacked in the plane by another suit that captures Tony when he tries to fight it.
Tony wakes up in a Project Tomorrow base tied up with Justine. The person behind the plot was Howard Stark Sr, Tony’s grandfather who was brought on for a black project and his death was faked who used the DNA connection to access the tech.
Howard set up everything so he could get upgrades when people needed his help and wants Tony to use some mysterious tech he found that Tony has and he thinks its a big secret. Tony reveals it is his head from another universe and the technology kills other nearby technology except for Tony’s because he protected his tech against it, and it kills everyone else in the room except for Tony.
