Iron Man Versus Gargantus!

Chaos erupts when circus animals break free while Tony is on a date at the Circus. The animals prove no challenge to the powerful Iron Man armor, but Tony discovers Iron Man's intimidating image frightens the audience. At a suggestion from his date, Tony decides to paint his armor a more inspiring color -- Gold.

Later, a thick wall emerges around Granville, sealing it off from the rest of the world. Iron Man sneaks in to investigate and finds the populace hypnotized into serving the massive, neanderthal-like Gargantus, a tool by which aliens intend to conquer the Earth. After working that Gargantus is a robot, Iron Man rips it apart with magnets, then frees the town.
