• Tony received an alarm that an unidentified aircraft was twenty meters overhead and saw Loren's bat-shaped Batwing hovering above him.

Tony Stark pushed the Mark II Iron Man Suit beyond its limits in an attempt to outrun Loren’s Batwing, but the Batwing proved far faster. The Batwing vanished from detection after reaching Mach 4.3, leaving Tony unable to keep up.

• Tony Stark ordered JARVIS to raise the suit’s engine performance to 97% despite warnings that Mach 2.8 could damage the Mark II.

• The Batwing overtook Tony and accelerated through Mach 4.3 until it disappeared beyond the suit’s detection range.

Tony Stark’s Iron Man Suit broke apart during his high-speed pursuit of Loren, leaving him in a deadly fall from the upper atmosphere. Loren rescued him, and Tony was left owing him a favor.
