Iron Man #223-224 (1987): 1st Blizzard 2


Tony gets a new “doo” and generally flirts and plays around with having unfathomable amounts of money.  Also, Justin Hammer keeps waging war on Stark International, and he hires a bunch of super-villains to do it.

It’s the first appearance of Blizzard II. He’s insecure. At one point, the new Blizzard threatens to turn someone’s eyes into ice cubes. Classic supervillainry.

And some good fights.
