Iron Man #243 (1989): Tony will never walk again


Technically, this story starts in issue #242 with a cliffhanger, but I’m going to pretend it’s all in one issue.  Tony is shot by a stalker, and is left crippled by the incident.

Tigra visits him in the hospital.  So does Scott Lang (Ant-Man) and his daughter Cassie (future Young Avenger, Stature).

In the end we’re told he’ll never walk again.

But he will. And pretty soon, too.
