Contest of Champions II #1-5
Many heroes are teleported away from Earth and into an arena, where they are asked to fight each other for the alien Coterie’s pleasure. In return, they will be provided with glory and a peek at the information the Coterie have gathered on their many travels across the space universe. The heroes all accept, but none of them (with the exception of Iron man) have a clue that they have been infected with nanites in their bodies, and are secretly being controlled by the mysterious Emperiatrix. Iron Man is the first hero to fight, and has to battle Psylocke and defeats her.
The Emperiatrix wants Iron Man destroyed before the secret comes out, and therefore lets him fight the entire team of X-Force! Most members are no match for Iron Man, but after Bedlam’s electricity powers disarm his armor, Iron Man gets defeated and a kick from Domino is the final draw. A defeated Iron Man is teleported away to a special place.
The Human Torch beats the new Spider –Woman and later faces his former teammate, the She-Hulk again defeating her. However, he loses against Storm as he is unwilling to kill her.
Hulk also defeats Reed Richards.
Meanwhile, Iron Man lands in a swamp like area and is attacked by local predators. He gets rescued by Psylocke, who only wants to finish their match until one of them is dead. Iron Man easily defeats her again and tries to find a way to cure his friends from the infecting nanites. He finds a solution, but before being allowed to spread it, he gets surprised by Psylocke who knocks him out with her psychic knife. Meanwhile, Kitty Pryde finds out who is really behind all of this, and its someone the X-Men have fought before.
