The Amazing Avengers #3: "...What So Proudly Hated"
"Get away," a voice says from the back of the room. The sound is quiet, one that can barely be heard over the crackling of the flames nearby, and metallic, as if it escapes from an old, computerized voice-modulator. Iron Man has been silent since entering the mansion, with a chance that the attack by the creature sliding through the room had been critical, yet the Avenger has stayed standing, but hunched over, as if nursing a great pain in his torso, holding his stomach with one arm and his head with the other hand, his movements jerky and his joints creaking. "All these monsters... have to... get away..." he says, the voice, already low, cracking through its modulation. His head turns, surveying the room, but his helmet hides the life within his eyes. "Get away..." he says, rising to stand upright, revealing a lower torso plate that has been broken open, spilling wires like human innards, with dangling, sparking cables. "Get away," he says, the voice clear and loud now. His arms reach to his sides and fingers stretch at the ready, and illumination bursts from the center of his chest, lighting the room more intensely than the nearby fire. "GET AWAY FROM ME!" he cries, then promptly stretches his arms before him, and thin pods click and pop from the backs of his forearms. Before any of the figures in the room can decipher what is happening, missiles launch from the armor's pods and scream through the room, crashing and exploding into foe and friend alike. The missiles are tiny but carry an impressive, explosive payload -- surely one of Tony Stark's most effective, and deadliest, creations, now used against all on view in front of him, including his own allies.

The creature nearest to Iron Man -- the one who has taken a defensive stance in front of Justice after attacking the young hero with a blade -- takes the brunt of the explosive attack, as well as being assaulted from its blind-side and likely surprised by the action. The missiles erupt into the creature in a direct hit, the dark cloud around it offering no protection from the volley of launched projectiles. "Aaah -- !" the female creature gasps in no alien language as it falls to the floor, the savage attack tearing apart the dark mist around it and likely the body underneath it but masked by the explosion. The katana it was holding falls to the floor, dissipating into the same dark smoke when it leaves its grasp.
Bladed Wyvern eliminated
