Microwave

(Yes, I know it’s actually an “arc reactor” to power his suit and keep shards of shrapnel out of his heart, rather than an actual pacemaker. Sometimes I like to lie to the world via stick-figures.)

Panel 1: Iron Man stands beside a woman.
Iron Man: "The world is once again safe, thanks to Iron Man!"
Woman: "You're so brave!"

Panel 2: The woman activates a microwave oven nearby.
Woman: "Let's celebrate with microwave popcorn!"

Panel 3: Iron Man is lying on the ground, sparks coming from his chest.
Woman: "Ah, right. Your pacemaker."

Tooltip: This is the OTHER reason that Iron Man avoids any encounters with Magneto.

    Also, pacemakers aren’t actually harmed by microwave ovens. Maybe like a 20 year old pacemaker, but not a new one.
