Extremis is the 16th episode of season two.
Synopsis[]
When S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Mallen is fired by General Nick Fury, Mallen takes the super-serum "Extremis" and mutates into a powerful maniac bent on revenge. When Iron Man tries to fight Mallen, he ends up defeated and in critical health, and his only salvation would be a dose of the same Extremis.
