Example: “Fun with Lasers” would be a good episode, if not for Nick Fury. “Man and Iron Man” is good as long as the Spider-Man comparisons don’t distract you. “Masquerade” has good moments, but Tony and Whitney lack chemistry.

No qualified compliments. Chasing Ghosts is a good episode—very good, maybe great. (Greatness depends upon rewatch value, so I hesitate to call anything great until I’ve seen it multiple times.)

“Chasing Ghosts” is the sequel to “Masquerade.” Somebody has paid an assassin, the Ghost, to kill Tony Stark—not Iron Man, Tony Stark. Whitney Stane gets wind of it and uses her Madame Masque persona to protect Tony.

Of course, her plan derails when she, as Tony Star,k shoots up a couple of public places while trying to stop the Ghost.

The plot is creative, the solution even more so. But the best part of this episode is Rhodey and Pepper’s reaction to learning Whitney Stane is Madame Masque.

The biggest strength of this series has always been the interaction between Tony, Rhodey and Pepper. Each character gets a great moment here. We see their strengths, their flaws and, most importantly, their loyalty.

I don’t want to give any specific examples, because I’d hate to spoil some of the surprises. That’s right, this episode features some decent surprises. Instead of being mired in generic villains and clichéd plots, this episode had at least two decent surprises.

If you’ve written off Iron Man: Armored Adventures, watch “Chasing Ghosts.” It may change your mind. If it doesn’t, I’m not sure any episode would.
