Would Tony Stark still be Iron Man if he wasn’t Tony Stark? Twenty years ago, in a college experiment gone bad, the young Stark’s mind is transferred to the body of impoverished but brilliant fellow student, Victor Von Doom!

Thus, in separate cauldrons on different sides of the world, both Iron Man and Dr. Doom are forged anew. But who are the men inside the armors really?
