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.
