Synopsis for "Who Killed Tony Stark?"
In Old Town, Jim Logan investigates the murder of Tony Stark and, after interrogating Pepper Potts, is directed towards the Mandarin as a potential suspect.
Travelling to Chinatown, Logan smashes up the Ten Rings Club and questions the Mandarin. Sensing something off about the suspect, the Mandarin reveals himself to be an impostor and attacks.
The Punisher intervenes from the shadows, shooting the Mandarin in the head, before beckoning Logan to follow him to his car. In the trunk, Frank reveals the body of Whiplash, whom he determined had been one of three from the Domain of Apocalypse who infiltrated Old Town, posing as their local counterparts.
Realizing who the third was, Logan soon finds the body of Pepper Potts, as the impostor escapes aboard a train with Tony Stark's famed Fin Fang Foom jade statue.
