Script: Stan Lee and Gene Colan
Art: Gene Colan and Frank Giacoia and Sam Rosen
Tony is in the factory. He created a transistorized centrifuge machine. The faster he spins, the more gravity force is harnessed. He contains the power in a porta-pack device. He then takes a mouse and begins an experiment. Meanwhile south of the border. El Presidente has ordered a scientist to come up with a great power. He has finished and summons the guards to take him to El Presidente. He presents a vial for him to drink and become the most powerful man. El Presidente doesn't trust him and takes him to the palace and makes the scientist drink the formula. He becomes a giant growing 7 feet tall and becomes bullet proof. He becomes known as the Crusher. A cannon cannot stop him. El Presidente offers for him to go to America to destroy Iron Man and will make him a general. They send him in a boat up the north eastern shore and warn all to stay inside. Iron Man picks this up on the radio. The Crusher is now 1000 pounds and is stronger than a tank walking over cars. The Crusher reaches Stark's factory and breaks through the walls. He attacks Iron Man. Repulsor rays cannot move him, and he continues the onslaught until Iron Man uses the porta-pack that increases the gravity. His weight increases to the point, the earth cannot bear his weight and sinks to his demise. Later Pepper and Happy return, they got married and are back!
