Synopsis for "Like Father"

This is the first part of the two-part story revealing the origin of Iron Munro. From the diary Iron was given by the Jamaican priest from the orphanage, he learns about the man named Hugo Danner: how he was given superhuman powers like those of Iron Munro by a pre-natal experiment performed by his father Professor Abednego Danner.
