Dealings with Justin Hammer[edit | edit source]
Stern was a known associate of Justin Hammer. After Tony Stark publicly revealed himself as Iron Man and his obstinance during the battle in Gulmira, Stern suggested that the United States military replace him with the Aerodynamic Marvel from Hammer Industries. After the duel of Monaco, Hammer attempted to get Stern involved in the design of the Hammer drones, although Ivan Vanko refused their help.[1]
