Tony Stark decided to attend what could very well be his best birthday party and quickly got himself very drunk, putting on his Iron Man Armor and partying with the many other guests who had come to celebrate. He invited Natalie Rushman to wear one of his gauntlets and fire it at an ice sculpture, taking great pleasure in the destruction before joining the other guests and drinking more alcohol shots to get himself even further drunk and even harder to keep in control.
While wearing the Iron Man armor and indulged in many dangerous activities, such as using his repulsor blasts to destroy a watermelon, Stark was watched by Pepper Potts who attempted to make him stop, being advised by James Rhodes that this was a terrible time to be acting so foolishly. Despite Potts taking the microphone away from Stark and trying to tell the guests that it was time to go home, Stark would not listen to reason and instead insisted that his party keeps going as he continued to reckless as he used his Iron Man Suit to entertain his drunk guests within his Malibu Mansion.
Rhodes donned Stark's Iron Man: Mark Xl armor and ordered the guests out of the room before demanding that Stark get out of the suit. Rhodes asked Stark to stop and remove the armor, but Stark refuses and both of them face up to the training room where they do personal combat. Stark and Rhodes both throw a piece disc portions at each other, then face off at a bar of Stark's, then Rhodes tells Stark to lose the metal suit. Stark refuses and the two friends face the beating to each other, but then released each other back to the party where Stark leaves the unconscious Rhodes and then frightened civilians, but Rhodes recovered and raises the repulsor ray hand to Stark and he does the same and the repulsor rays are fired and when hitting each other, an explosion is generated. With Stark out of the fight, Rhodes then delivered the armor to the United States Air Force while Stark could only look on.
