Iron Man manages to divert Raga's lava flow before it destroys a nearby town, but it costs him so much time that he's unable to intervene when Raga punishes Cynthia. Fortunately, Raga's teacher, the Black Lama, does intervene, and delays Raga long enough for Iron Man to arrive. Raga's karma comes back to bite him, and he dies as a direct result of his own actions. Cynthia and her Forest Ranger both survive, relatively unharmed.
