• Tales from the Vault; (Acts of Vengeance Prologue) · Acts of Vengeance · 11 pages

  The Wizard is brought to the Vault to be jailed for his crimes. A strange figure in his cell offers to help him out and gives him his costume back. Wizard starts a breakout and the Guardsmen call for help.

  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.
