You call up the Iron Man of the future (the, er, not too distant future of 2020), and he blasts them away.

The above from Amazing Spider-Man annual #20, from 1986 when 2020 did seem a little further away.

Actually, in ASM Annual 20, Arno Stark came from the far-off future year of... 2015.

OMG, you're right. How did i miss such a perfect opportunity?

Well now we know why the "blizzard" turned out to be such a fizzle, at least around my area.

I always really liked that annual. Wonder why they never did an Iron Man 2020 mini or something, set after that big failure at the end.
