Synopsis for "In Mortal Combat with Captain America!"

While testing out his underwater devices, Kraven the Hunter and the Chameleon smuggle themselves back into the country. Iron Man spots and captures Kraven, however Chameleon doesn't get spotted and so he decides to get revenge on Iron Man for capturing Kraven.

Disguising himself as Captain America, the Chameleon goes to Stark Industries and tells Iron Man that the Chameleon had attacked him and took his place hoping to destroy the Avengers. Going to Avengers Mansion, Iron Man battles the real Captain America believing him to be the impostor. When the battle takes them back to Stark Industries, and Cap saves Happy's life, Iron Man realizes that he's been duped.
