Previously:- The Badoon (after their 7th Gender War) attacked the Earth. The Avengers, based in Malaysia, were losing the battle until Dr Franklin Richards, Herald of Galactus, joined in. The war is now won, but bio-spores are still poisoning the air, and other Badoon weapons lie around. And a terror weapon sent the whole American continent (and most Avengers) into the Negative Zone, where Captain America has gone in search of his homeland.In Kuala Lumpur the remaining Avengers (Beta Ray Bill, Dr Strange and Rogue) are flying around the ruins in a tetrahedral sort-of-chair. Beta Ray Bill comments that Earth didn't get it as bad as Nu-Skrullos, as they fly past the Stark building, whose front appears to be a huge Iron Man. Tony Stark's segmented brain is in there.They offer in passing explanations as to why they 3 are still alive and youthful in 2063. (Though this wouldn't bother real comics writers of that time - the Marvel rolling 2-decade history would take care of it.) Strange says he's been reincarnated 17 times. They mention Wolverine's last gift to Rogue - presumably functional immortality via healing factor. (A caption by Editron 3030 references X-Men Wedding Special #47.) Beta Ray Bill is effectively an Asgardian god.Down on the ground Jebat and Hilm are making unexploded bombs safe. Hilm goes underground to fetch some equipment and hears a noise, which turns out to be the 1st of an invading horde of Subterraneans.Stark's brain is dying for a scotch (and a throat to drink it with). But he detects bombs being armed, and the Avengers see the Moloids led by Mole Man III. Dr Strange is amazed that they survived the gamma floods of Subterranea in Under-Hulk Adventures #33. Mole Man is out to destroy the surface cities in revenge. (But there doesn't seem much left to destroy.)The other 2 Avengers keep the Moloids busy while Strange works on a spell. 'Iron Man' joins in by spewing out a swarm of oversized Iron Man heads. Realising that Dr Strange may be the worst threat Mole Man tries to kill him, but Bill runs defence.Then Strange's spell kicks in. He transports them all to the middle of the ocean that used to be North America, specifically where the Yellowstone Park was. He raises the caldera of the large Yellowstone volcano and forms it into a new Subterranea. Mole Man is gobsmacked.Meanwhile spacesuited Captain America is still floating through the Negative Zone. (Which looks more like a mystical dimension that Strange would be familiar with.)

We Will All Be Dead Tomorrow: The Red Supremacy, Chapter 1
The Avengers, led by Iron Man, Thor, Vision, and the new Captain America descend on Los Angeles overrun by plants. It’s a scheme by Plantman to strike against the human world on behalf of the world’s flora. The heroes battle the quick-spreading vegetation but soon are fighting with one another, first verbally, then with their powers. Thor whacks Cap with his axe, Vision slams Thor through the Quinjet into the ground Cap conks Vision with his shield. Iron Man is the only one to keep control of his mind and he quickly clobbers Plantman; Hulk, however, remembering the events of ORIGINAL SIN 3.1-4, stomps him. Deducing that they are being controlled telepathically, Tony emits a signal which cancels it all out and the heroes return to normal. Tony is contacted by Steve Rogers in New York, telling him that every city on Earth has erupted in hate riots and he knows the Red Skull is behind it….In Genosha, Havok awakens next to his wife Janet (Van Dyne) and daughter Katie—but it’s a fantasy implanted by the Red Skull and Havok is in a reeducation camp. Outside Magneto, Rogue, and Scarlet Witch are engaged in battle with the giant Red Onslaught, who is able to wield Professor X’s telepathic powers against them. The Skull slowly takes over Wanda’s mind, turning her to his side. Havok arrives—and blasts Magneto into a building, where he discoverers Cyclops, Quentin Quire, and Genesis prisoners. He frees them but soon they are fighting among themselves. Havok assaults Cyclops for having killed Professor X and is in turn blasted by Genesis, who is speared through the back by the villainous Ahab….Back at Avengers Tower, protected from Red Onslaught’s mental attacks, Steve and the Avengers plan to go after the Skull once Iron Man has detected his location. Wasp is mourning the loss of the future where she and Alex (Summers) have had a daughter—which was erased by Kang….In Genosha, the mind-controlled Scarlet Witch is fighting against her friends. Rogue uses her powers to absorb the villain’s consciousness and is overwhelmed by the images of brutality—until the mind of Professor X surfaces to encourage her to fight. Rogue leaps into the fray and carries Wanda away; once safe Rogue talks her through her guilt and self-doubt and they rejoin the battle. Meanwhile, the other heroes are batting each other and Ahab; Cyclops takes a harpoon for his brother. Just as the Red Onslaught looks most formidable, the Avengers arrive—Iron Man, Cap, Thor, Vision, and Hawkeye—to join in. Then X-Men Nightcrawler, Storm, and Colossus show up to take out Ahab; Scott and Alex reconcile and turn against their common enemy. Then more heroes arrive, Beast, Hulk, Iron Fist, Power Man, Dr Strange, Kitty Pryde and many more. Iron Man informs the villain that he is about to cancel out the telepathic message of hate; Red Onslaught informs Tony that he has found in an inaccessible part of Tony’s mind files on the weaknesses of all the other heroes compiled during Civil War—and unleashes the deadly adamantium Stark Sentinels programmed to destroy the gathered heroes….

Good News for Bad People: The Red Supremacy, Chapter 3
Magneto leads the team of villains against Red Onslaught; meanwhile, Deadpool tries to drag Iron Man to safety while pouring out an endless stream of nonsense, including asking to become an Avenger. Loki and Doctor Doom trade barbs with each other (and Magneto). Elsewhere, Quentin Quire and Genesis are struggling to keep Onslaught’s telepathic hate stream blocked. Suddenly Red Onslaught is confronted by Captain America—who turns out to be Mystique in disguise; she was the distraction so that the Enchantress can cast a love spell on the Skull to bring him under her power. This works until the Absorbing Man crashes though a Sentinel’s chest a la ALIEN, breaking Amora’s enchantment; Quentin Quire also fails and the villain’s full fury is unleashed and he brings several of the assembled baddies under his control. Magneto rescues Scarlet Witch and Dr. Strange from captivity so that they can attempt the spell that would bring Professor X’s consciousness to the fore. The enslaved enemies attack and Genesis fights them off; Strange is hypnotized by the Skull and Wanda teams with Doom to cast the spell; suddenly order and chaos are brought together in a large ball which slowly dissipates over Genosha. When the air clears, the captive heroes are released from the bodies of the destroyed Sentinels. They discover the unconscious body of the Red Skull, who has returned to normal. The X-Men led by Cyclops want to take the Skull back to the School to see if any of Xavier’s mind is still there. The Avengers, led by the new Captain America, insist on imprisoning him at Avengers Tower to be put on trial. The aged Steve Rogers comes forward and casts his vote with the Avengers. Genesis—now a grown man—ends the stalemate by revealing that Xavier’s consciousness is completely gone from the Red Skull’s mind. By this point, Havok is so steamed that he resigns from the Avengers Unity Team and leaves with the X-Men; Wasp looks after him sadly as she rejoins her team….

Prometheus Mutans
Story continues from SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN ANNUAL #8.Prologue: In a secret lab, technicians are trying to recreate Jocasta. She clobbers everyone and makes a hasty telephone call to the Avengers before she is shut down….At Avengers Hydrobase, the central computer processes this phone call and, since there are no Avengers currently on the roster, sends out a call to the reserve members. The Captain (formerly Captain America) arrives, followed by the Falcon and Hercules, then Hulk and Beast together. Herc then discovers the female Yellowjacket hiding in a closet, claiming the buzzing in her helmet (stolen from Hank Pym) forced her to come there. The Avengers keep her with them as they listen to the recorded call from Jocasta; they recognize her voice and Beast traces the call to a science lab on Long Island. So, they fly a Quinjet out there….At the lab, the Avengers send Hulk in first and he wrecks the place, keeping one tech relatively unharmed. The man reveals that he works for the High Evolutionary whose scientists are working on the Genetic Bomb, set to erupt at a certain time and speed up human evolution by millions of years. The man’s brain then burns out, thanks to a self-destruct feature. They talk to Jocasta who says the High Evolutionary wanted her recreated to provide certain analytical information on the Avengers. The tech had mentioned activity in the Pacific Ocean so Cap suggests they head to Lemuria as they would be aware of anything unusual occurring in the ocean….The Avengers arrive in Lemuria to find the city under attack by Atlantean warships. Cap sends Hulk and Hercules to board the Atlantean flagship to explain the situation. They smash in and find Attuma who is not pleased to see them so the two heroes smash their way through the Imperial Guard. Meanwhile, Cap contacts the more reasonable Lord Kro of Lemuria with some questions. Then a massive leviathan warship attacks both Lemuria and the Atlantean navy before Herc and Hulk wreck it. A conference suggests the Leviathan had previously attacked Atlantis to bring the two undersea races together so they could all be sterilized at once. The two undersea forces join the Avengers in the search for the bad guy responsible….The ships detect unusual activity near the Mindanao Trench and head there to discover a massive floating base. They realize that the ship is headed for Krakatoa where the Genetic Bomb will erupt through the volcano, spreading the contents throughout the world. So, the two navies attack the base as a distraction to allow the Avengers to enter. The heroes move through the base and come upon a temple where the New Men serve as priests leading humans in worship of the High Evolutionary. Cap and Beast concoct a scheme to let the human workers “overhear” how the HE intends for the animal New Men to rule over the humans, leading to their revolt and murder of the demi-humans….A panicking Yellowjacket accidentally flies into a room full of guards and is shot; Falcon is able to catch her and fly off….Rebelling guards attack the High Evolutionary who scans their minds to learn what is going on. He orders all decks to be sealed off so the revolt does not spread. He also orders the ship to speed up on its way to the destination so the Genetic Bomb can be detonated all the sooner. As it zooms off it leaves the Atlantan and Lemurian fleets far behind.….The Avengers regroup in a lab where the High Evolutionary confronts them. Jocasta denounces him and he tears her limbs off. Falcon flies off to find the bomb as HE cages the rest before teleporting back to his duties. Hercules and Hulk twist open the bars with the Beast’s help. Cap decides that to face the HE who considers himself a god, they need a competing god and Hercules is the only one with experience in that department so he is chosen to evolve himself in the baddie’s machine. But Hulk insists he be the one to be evolved and he tosses Herc away. HE returns, having captured Falcon, and fights Hulk who is stronger than HE thought but not strong enough to resist being teleported to the Nevada desert. Herc jumps into the evolving chamber as Cap tries to occupy HE, deflecting the bad guy’s blasts with his shield. Yellowjacket shrinks and flies into HE’s ear to irritate him but he is able to eject and blast her. HE zaps Beast into a stronger cage and takes on the stronger Herc. As they yell challenges back and forth at each other, they fight with Herc continuing to evolve because Beast strapped the machine inside his armor. They keep fighting until High Evolutionary vanishes into nothing—but Hercules keeps growing until he too dissolves into thin air. The Avengers find Jocasta is still alive and she has plugged into the ship’s matter/anti-matter drive. She gives them time to escape to the Quinjet and depart before she blows the ship, the bomb, and herself apart.  Story 2: Beyond LifeWriter: Mark Gruenwald. Breakdowns: Ron Lim. Art: Tony DeZuniga. Colors: Gregory Wright. Letters: Michael Rosen, Joe Rosen.Aboard his moon-ship and surrounded by Thing, Alicia Masters, Aleta , and Moondragon, the gravely injured High Evolutionary is restored to health by the power of Her. He thanks them then discovers that his creation, Counter-Earth is missing. He tracks it across space to discover it being towed away by the Prime Movers of Tarkus, at the request of the Beyonders. There he witnesses the massive power of the Beyonders as they pick up his planet and place it in their museum. Humbled by the experience, he decides to die so he returns to Earth where he lured the Hulk to him, allowing Hulk to smash his armor so he can devolve himself back to amoeba. But after Hulk has gone, the armor reassembles itself and progresses the amoeba back to the human form of the High Evolutionary. At this, he vows to become the one guiding the evolution of the human race.

Wonder Man has been complaining that the Avengers cause bad things to happen, and asking them to disband, since Avengers (2010) #1 (or possibly since New Avengers (2005) #51). In New Avengers Annual #1 he gathered together a group of heroes that he called the Revengers (Anti-Venom, Atlas, Captain Ultra, Century, Devil-Slayer, D-Man, Ethan Edwards and Goliath). They attacked Avengers Mansion, thoroughly trouncing the New Avengers, and doing a lot of damage to the building. But Victoria Hand managed to get out a call, presumably to Steve Rogers.Steve and Sharon Carter are in the quincarrier, HQ of the Secret Avengers. They immediately fly to the Mansion, and put out the call for the other Avengers to assemble. Ant-Man, Beast, Hawkeye and Moon Knight are also in the carrier. They are quickly joined at the site of the devastation by Maria Hill, Iron Man and Thor.Thing and Wolverine are still ambulatory. Spider-Man and Ms Marvel are fished out and revived. Wong is OK, but finds an unconscious Dr Strange. Luke Cage gets back from the Bronx, where Atlas threw him, as his wife Jessica Jones crawls out of the rubble. They are relieved to see nanny Squirrel Girl with their baby Danielle. (Wonder Man had made sure those 2 were out of the building before the attack.)They now notice an extra-large Atlas doing a King Kong on Avengers Tower. They rush there but find the building deserted. That's because Wonder Man and the Revengers are holding a press conference elsewhere. The Avengers try to disrupt it, but Simon Williams continues his rant. He claims that, despite all the good they have done, the Avengers are hiding the fact that they are responsible  for bad things like Ultron and the actions of Scarlet Witch. Steve Rogers tries to arrest him, but Simon claims he's trying to cover up the truth.Then Iron Man employs a device he prepared earlier, which sucks Wonder Man's ionic energy into a container.Thor tells the other Revengers to surrender. But Atlas urges them not to. So Thor transports them to a football stadium, and the Avengers follow for a fight.Thor takes down Atlas. Luke Cage deals with Goliath. Thing chokes Anti-Venom. Captain Anerica's shield takes out D-Man. Ms Marvel blasts Devil-Slayer. A recovered Dr Strange handles Ethan Edwards. While Spider-Woman has joined Hawkeye in dancing around with Century.The Revengers are taken into custody, and each gives his justification for helping Wonder Man. Meanwhile Beast visits his old friend Simon Williams. Simon repeats his claim that the Avengers are out of control. He asks Hank to keep an eye on them. But he also wonders if he is really Simon, or just a creation of Scarlet Witch when she 'resurrected' him in Avengers (1998).The media are full of questions about Wonder Man's accusations. They are also suspicious about the way he has been 'disappeared'. Hearing this, Simon is content. He has achieved his aim. And his ionic form vanishes from his containment globe.

(no title given)
A young robot/AI named Ward is sitting in a roadside diner saying that there's a lot of discussion in his community about the right word for them, and neither of these terms is really satisfactory but neither is mecha or droid. He's definitely not a synthezoid because he's not made from Horton Cells. He reminds them that John Sublime claimed that men augmented with mutant organs were a 3rd species between man and mutants, but the youth says the 3rd species is really the synthetic persons like himself. However the 3 hulking males leaning over him don't seem interested in his theories.In Avengers Mountain HQ Steve Rogers and Tony Stark are discussing the resurgence of the Infinity Stones. It's been known for a while that Star possesses the Reality Stone and recently Iron Man met Quantum with the Space Stone (IM Annual #1) and Captain America ran into Overtime with the Time Stone (Cap An#1). (They aren't aware that the Prince Of Power has the Power Stone as seen in several Guardians Of The Galaxy issues culminating in their An#1.) The Mind Stone is also missing but Tony is mainly worried about the Soul Stone because he can't figure out what the owner of that would be able to do.Back in the diner the 3 bruisers have started to beat up the kid when they are interrupted by a truck driver with a cyborg arm who they know as John Cray. He knocks 1 out and quickly deals with the other 2 with the tools they were using as weapons. Then he suggests that he and Ward drive to another diner. On the way out 1 of the men threatens to report them to the Sapien League.Steve tells Tony that he alerted Nick Fury Jr to what was going on (in the Infinite Fury backup in the Cap Annual). Stark worries that Fury will just kill the Stone-bearers but Rogers argues that he would have found out anyway - this way they're all in the link. Tony reports that there was a Project PEGASUS research station near the prison where Hector Bautista gained the Time Stone and they recorded the energy signature of the event. So now he's got the Avengers' system scanning for any new occurrence, assuming the Stones haven't all recruited their new bearers already.In Cray's truck and later in the new diner Wade is going on about souls. Despite human supremacists saying that mutants have no souls he believes that both humans and mutants do, and he cites demonic possession of both as evidence. But he doesn't know whether synthetics like him do. John queries whether 'synthetic people' is any better as a label than any of the others Wade mentioned - doesn't it just mean 'fake people'? Wade replies that synthesis means that they were created by combining existing old tech.But they can't continue this discussion because 4 masked and body-armored members of the Sapien League start shooting up the place and order everyone out except the robot. But John Cray has been severely wounded and Wade tries in vain to drag his bulk to safety. As the terrorists are about to shoot him a beam strikes from space and a golden globe of energy expands from the diner.Steve Rogers is cooking up a whole load of eggs and bacon to fuel his superhuman metabolism. Tony Stark suggests he should switch to the high-protein drink he's sipping (and his company manufactures). But the WWII veteran has old-fashioned tastes. And Tony easily accepts some crispy bacon in place of his drink. But neither of them is going to have time to eat because the Stone-alarm goes off.Wade is floating in the air but unable to move. The diner is empty apart from the bodies of Cray and the Sapien Leaguers. He wants to help John but a voice in his head tells him to ignore the wounded and unconscious humans. It claims to be the host to billions of souls which it must protect. Wade demands to be set free and his possessor allows him to lift his friend up again and drag him outside, saying that it is the Soul Stone.Captain America and Iron Man arrive in time to hear Wade asking what the Soul Stone is. Cap calls the other Avengers for backup while IM tells the boy to let the man (Cray) go. Wade tries to explain what happened but all the heroes see is wounded people and an AI with a cosmic power. And the voice in his head claims that the Avengers just want to dismantle him to get at the Stone, and urges its host to give it back control to fight them with the power of the souls it contains.Next thing we see is the Stone's voice telling the Avengers to call it/them Multitude as it sends projections of Blackheart, Juggernaut and Shuma-Gorath against them, then some lizard-men, Magneto and Venom and then Dr Doom, Omega Red and Wolverine. But our heroic duo find their foes weak and Wade theorises that it's because there are too many of them, so the Stone should just project 1 foe each. And he has just the right choices ...... and we then see a Cap projection attacking Iron Man and an IM projection attacking Captain America. The Soul Stone agrees that the heroes are instinctively holding back fighting their 'friends'. The Stone urges Wade to leave while they're occupied but Wade wants to make sure Jack Cray gets to a doctor so they come to an agreement. The Stone stops his projections fighting and offers the Avengers a deal - no more fighting if they let Wade go and take the man to hospital. He tells them that the other injured are Sapien League who attacked them. Cap asks what the Stones want and gets the reply that they have bonded with people because they want to become something more than they were - a synthesis. And it generates a sort-of dragon to fly away on.Wade is content. He started off wondering if he had a soul and now apparently has billions of them. And he's happy with the idea of synthesis. On their way he asks what now? The Soul Stone says they must find the other 5 Infinity Stones. Together they are more than the sum of their parts, and they will form a final synthesis and change the world.Story 2:-Infinite Fury part 8Writer Jed MacKay. Artist Juan Ferreyra. Letterer Joe Caramagna. Editor Nick Lowe.Nighthawk has brainwashed Nick Fury Jr into joining him as his partner Falcon and helping him capture all the Infinity Stone bearers, and last issue they grabbed Star. But then Fury turned on him.He now explains that he's got backup plans for if he loses a body part, and also 1 for if he loses his mind. He's got an automatic reset triggered by seeing the face of his wife tattooed on his chest (see part 6 in the Guardians Of The Galaxy Annual). Nighthawk chooses to set off a smoke bomb and escape. But Nick has the scanner they were using to locate the Stone bearers. So now he puts Star in a stasis pod and plans to go after the other bearers, keeping an eye out for Nighthawk.This story continues in Black Cat #8 where Felicia Hardy steals Star from him. She too is under contract to collect the set.

The infinity watch: finale
Thanos created a 7th Infinity Stone (by imprisoning Death in it in his recent mini-series). In this year's Thanos Annual he lost control of the Death Stone as he sought to unite it with the 6 original Stones. In various other Annuals we've followed the fortunes of the 6 Stone Bearers and also Phil Coulson who's been resurrected to house the Death Stone. In the Spider-Boy Annual the 6 finally all got together, with Coulson and Nick Fury Jr. hot on their trail.But Thanos prepares to make his own move. He knows that only he can control all the Stones without them destroying the universe. And he must do it before they all combine.In the Death Stone Saga backup tale in the SpB Annual Overtime, bearer of the Time Stone, nipped back in time from the middle of this issue to warn Coulson & Fury about the upcoming battle with the Mad Titan. Fury has alerted the Avengers to what's going on and now Captain Marvel and Thor are flying separately towards the Coney Island beach where the Bearers have met. The rest of the team are trapped in their Impossible City base behind a mysterious force field. When the 2 duos meet overlooking the meeting of Bearers, Carol Danvers is glad to see Phil alive. He says he's going to hang back because the Stones increase each others power when they're near each other and he doesn't want his Death Stone adding to the mix. CapM suggests Fury stay with him while she and the Thunder God handle things.In the previous Annuals Overtime had teamed up with Quantum (Space Stone) and Star (Reality Stone) while Colleen Wing (Mind Stone) had met Apex (Power Stone) and Multitude (Soul Stone). Star can't accept that the other 3 don't realise that they are the weaker trio. Colleen tries diplomacy but Ripley Ryan thinks she's angling to be leader, when obviously the Reality Stone makes *her* the most powerful. She should be in charge and she asks for a democratic show of hands. Her 2 companions side with her and she makes sand rise up next to the others in the form of giant arms and hands. She declares she's got big plans for them and she's not going to be held back by 1 person with morals. Overtime (Hector Bautista) protest that *he* has morals and Star threatens to turn him into a goat.At this point Thor and CM drop in. The Asgardian greets the Stone Bearers saying they come in peace and Apex (Prince Otherone) says "Hi" back (they met in the Immortal Thor Annual). Carol and Colleen shake hands. Colleen declines to explain how she got the Mind Stone because it would take too long (see the Hulk Annual for details). Carol suggests the Bearers split up because the increased power due to proximity will make them 'volatile'. Ripley interprets this as the Avengers wanting to take away their power. And she creates giant stone hands to grab Thor and squish Marvel. Multitude (the robot Wade) objects to fighting the Avengers because they're not villains. Hector too suggests they pause and think. But Ripley is more concerned that she can't think of anything better to make than hands.The 2 heroes break free of the hands. But Apex accuses Thor of wanting to take his strength which is the only thing he has left (after destroying his own planet) and sends him flying with an uppercut. CM also punches Star but Quantum opens portals which put sections of Carol's body in 3 different places, and he warns her what would happen if he closed the portals. Star urges him to do it. Meanwhile Coulson has floated down from the vantage point he shared with Fury but claims not to have willed it.Multitude is holding his head and complaining that a very powerful 1 of the souls inside him is trying to break free. Overtime offers to stop time to allow him to regain control. But it's too late and an orange construct of Thanos materialises and smashes aside OT and Wing. Star retaliates with a giant stone foot this time. Otherone apologises to Thor but tells him that he can no more give up his destiny than the Thunderer could give up his hammer Mole-Stirrer. Carol's been angling the parts of her body while Space-Gem Quantum has waxed lyrical about how he can feel the whole universe. She's got into position to zap him, and then escapes his trap. Tony Stark reports that he still hasn't figured out how to get through the force field as she bops Apex. Star is ranting that she can change the world to make it better (if that's what she wants). Colleen has her 'lightsabre' at her throat, still saying they have to discuss what's best to do. Ryan replies that they should start acting like the ultimate powers they are. CM thinks it's all going to pot but Thor opines that things are about to turn in their favour, for do not the Avengers always win?!Then the real Thanos shows up and makes short work of his orange facsimile. Overtime attacks him (saying the word "hurt") and gets torn apart by a handblast, and then it's Captain Marvel's turn to be sent flying by a punch. Thanos doesn't have time to get the Time Stone because he then smashes his fists down on Thor's head and tosses him aside. Phil Coulson confronts him, his hands surrounded by a dark force, and threatens to kill him. But the Titan recognises his love Death within the ex-Agent Of SHIELD and starts to exert his mastery over the Death Stone. But then Apex attacks him and buries him in a hole in the ground. Star urges Quantum to teleport their foe into the Sun. Thanos rises and Apex is ready for another shot. But the Titan is more interested in Quantum and his Space Stone (he's got power enough of his own). He fires a blast at Q but Q creates 2 linked portals which send the blast back to the source. Apex leaps to the attack again but Big T punches his own fist through the portals to rip the Stone from Quantum's chest. And he uses that Stone to create his own portals to do the same thing to get A's Power Stone.Then Colleen Wing stabs him through the brain with her energy katana (which she's had since she got the Mind Stone in the Hulk Annual) - but it doesn't stop him. He comments that the Infinity Stones gathered in close proximity are truly impressive. But the Bearers don't act with common purpose, so they will be even more powerful when 1 person, himself, has them all. And he kills her to take her Stone. Star tries to flee but he gets her Reality Stone as well. Thor returns to the fray but the extra-powerful Titan just blasts him dead! Captain Marvel has made it back but Thanos uses the Reality Stone to remove her superpowers and down her with 1 punch. Then he turns to the robot Multitude and tramples him to bits to get the Soul Stone.Nick Fury has joined Coulson but Thanos kills *him* casually. Then he again tries to get Death and her Stone to leave Coulson, and Phil tells her to stay with him. Meanwhile the supposedly-dead Overtime appears at dying Carol Danvers' side. She tells him that Coulson is stalling for time, and he should use his time-stopping power to make a plan and execute it. Thanos is trying to remotely rip the Death Stone from Coulson when Overtime confronts him. The Titan comments that he'll kill him as many times as it takes to get the Time Stone. But Hector Bautista freezes time to give himself time to think. And then he knows what to do because he's already done it.I'll pause here to remind readers that Hector appeared to Coulson and Fury in the Spider-Boy Annual in a different costume. There he told them about the upcoming battle with Thanos and asked Coulson to keep hold of the Death Stone for as long as he could. Then he nicked Phil's burger and returned to now.So now he appears in the new costume with the burger alongside the existing Overtime. OT2 gives OT1 the burger to eat and comments that the costume change is to avoid confusion (for us readers?). (Throughout the conversation they keep exchanging the burger to eat.) Thanos asks what they're playing at. OT1 says he got here by time-jumping away from when he got killed. But now he's going to go back to die. And this means that OT2 will never exist. The time bubble that Overtime has created around them will collapse. And reality will shatter completely taking Thanos with it. The villain says he'll find a way to win, but OT1 says he doesn't have time to do that. And then he goes back to die saying "This is gonna ...". OT2 tells Thanos he *knows* what to do. The Titan swears revenge but uses the Stones ...... to restore the Bearers to life with their Stones, and CM, Fury and Thor too. They're all mightily confused. But Overtime (in his new costume) says the universe better behave because the Infinity Watch is watching. Phil Coulson promises Carol and Nick he'll keep an eye on them. They vanish, closely followed by Thanos. Tony Stark reports that he's finally disabled the forcefield. (It was presumably created by Thanos.)

Contest of chaos: finale
In this year's Scarlet Witch Annual Agatha Harkness stole the heart of Chthon from where he is imprisoned 'within' Scarlet Witch. The story then sprawled across 7 more Annuals in a Contest Of Chaos as Harkness pitted pairs of heroes against each other in sites of chaos magic around the globe, and each winner became her corrupted minion (and brought her some chaos energy). On the way we learned that she intends to create a new Darkhold book which she will use to protect the world against such magic. But also the 1st contest loser Spider-Man (Peter Parker) joined forces with super-PI Jessica Jones and the sorceress Clea to oppose her. At the end of the X-Men Annual they tracked her to the Bermuda Triangle and decided to call in the Avengers.The current 7 Avengers arrive over the Triangle all but 1 flying under their own power (Black Panther is carried by Captain America (Sam Wilson) and his artificial wings). (Captain Marvel and Iron Man are losers of 2 of the contests.) They see 4 ships rising out of the ocean around a maelstrom:- a pirate ship, a 2-funnelled steamer and 2 smaller boats. Captain Marvel splits the group into teams of 2 (she goes alone) to search the vessels for Agatha and the missing heroes. IM in his current stealth armour says he can't detect any life-signs but Wanda Maximoff says magic may be masking them.CM investigates the pirate ship and as she hears that the others have met opposition she is attacked by Storm whose repeated magical blasts drive her off the boat and into the drink. Surfacing she sees CA battling Venom (Dylan Brock) plus IM vs Human Torch in midair. Vision is blasting at Wolverine on 1 boat where SW is magically defending herself against Cyclops' optic blasts. On another ship BP is fighting White Fox while Thor faces Taegukgi. The Avengers try not to harm their opponents too much but the others under the control of Agatha Harkness have no such qualms. Scarlet Witch tries to sense her ex-mentor's presence but can't detect her. However her break in concentration allows Cyke to tag her which sends her crashing to the deck of the pirate ship. He hops over to that vessel and blasts at her again, but Carol Danvers interposes herself and blasts *him* out to sea (which she thinks of as payback for what he did to her when *they* fought in the Contest in the X-Men An).At that point Clea magically portals in to the pirate ship with Jessica Jones and Spider-Man. CapM tells them that the team is just fighting a holding action until they can figure out how to break Agatha's control. That makes her realise that Harkness is doing the same thing while she finishes the new Darkhold. Wanda comments that she *must* be nearby to be controlling her minions, and she now guesses that she's inside the maelstrom. Danvers tells the newcomers to help the other Avengers while she and the Witch go to confront the other witch down there.In a revealed ruin at the bottom of the whirlpool Agatha is magically levitating the book and surrounding it with 7 balls of chaos energy. She thinks she only needs a bit more time to complete the spell but she doesn't get it because the 2 superheroines interrupt her. Wanda tries to reason with her friend but Agatha claims that she's taking the burden of dealing with chaos magic off her pupil's shoulders. Wanda says the effort is killing her but Agatha replies that some things are worth dying for. The witch blasts the Witch and CM responds with an attack which SW joins in on. The strain of holding them both off is too much and Darkhold and chaos globes fall to the ground. Danvers grabs the book to keep it out of Harkness' clutches despite both witches screaming at her not to. And there's an enormous explosion of magic.On the surface the maelstrom starts to collapse taking the boats with it. Iron Man tells the rest of the team to evacuate the opposition. Down below our 2 heroines recover and find Agatha Harness gone but the book left behind. However Carol finds it now inert and she persuades Wanda that her friend isn't here and they have to leave, which they do. Up above Logan shakes off Harkness' control and is disgusted to find himself in purple magic armour. CapA offers him a lift.They all regroup on a beach. The enthralled chars are all back in control of themselves but don't really remember what happened. Wanda confirms that the new Darkhold is now just an empty book but she is concerned that the energy Agatha gathered to create it must have gone somewhere. They wonder where she is.We see that she's washed up on another shore and starts desperately looking for the Darkhold. She's greeted by a young boy dressed in purple like her (and in Pilgrim Fathers era clothes). She asks him where his parents are and he tells her he doesn't have any, and calls her by her name. He reveals the *he* is now the Darkhold and manifests his power.

(no title given)
This opens like an issue of Guardians of the Galaxy, explaining why they turned up at the end of last issue.Some days ago the 5-person team were protecting a planet from the Badoon. The Badoon claimed to have been sent there by Thanos, to keep the Guardians away from Earth. So the Guardians got here as fast as they could.Here in Avengers Tower various Avengers and Guardians renew acquaintanceships. But Black Widow slips away to deal with a wound she got in the recent battles. And Hawkeye slips out to help her. Clint comments on their long friendship, Natasha kisses him and he kisses back. But then Widow pulls away commenting that he has a girlfriend.The other Avengers tell the Guardians what's been happening. Drax and Star-Lord think Thanos might be after the Infinity Gems. Captain America and Iron Man uncomfortably admit that the Gems are on Earth but swear they're well hidden. Thanos' daughter Gamora is sure her father doesn't know the Gems are here, or he'd come directly for them himself.Gamora and Peter Quill explain what they think Thanos is doing. He wants a planet as a base, and he's always fancied Earth. But recently a Galactic Council declared Earth off-limits, because it is a volatile place. Partly because of previous alien meddling, Earth has access to cosmic powers. And the alien invasions have disrupted our normal progress.Before taking over the world Thanos needed to take certain cosmic weapons away from us (and maybe use them himself). But because of the quarantine he couldn't do it himself, hence his empowering the Zodiac as lackeys.The Avengers know that Zodiac successfully retrieved 1 item in #1. Cap takes Hulk to see Gen'l Whedon and 'persuade' him to say what was taken. It turns out the army had created a Cosmic Cube. Tony Stark downloads the details.Tony and Rocket Raccoon have converted a quinjet for interstellar flight. The Avengers then accompany the Guardians in Star-Lord's Ship.

Last issue Bruce Banner imbibed some 20 million year-old bacteria from the underground Lake Vostok in the Antarctic. He changed to Hulk in a cell on the SHIELD helicarrier to stop a monster growing within him from bursting free. Spider-Woman entered the cell with a massive dose of antibiotics to help him fight off the parasite. As long as he doesn't kill her 1st.Jessica Drew emits pheromones to calm Hulk down. They work well enough for her to stab him with the ultra-strong metal hypodermic. This of course enrages Hulk again, but the inner Banner manages to restrain him for a while and urge Jessica to get out.Also last issue Captain America and Captain Marvel traced scientist Sergei Sorokin who had stolen lots of the bacteria-laden water. But they found him aboard the airplane of villain Yun Guang Han over Australia. Han forced them to leave him alone by threatening to infect Queensland. His bacteria-infected berserkers also wrecked their quinjet.Now the Captains are tracking his plane from a SHIELD base, and it has gone to ground in China. Carol Danvers contacts Iron Man on the helicarrier to inform him that they're taking another quinjet after Han.Han's plane is inside his mountain hideout. Sorokin wants his payment for the work he's done for the villain, then he'll leave. His study of the ancient bacteria alerted him to the possibilities, and he devised a catalyst to make the resulting parasite stable. The intention was to create a super-army, but ordinary humans weren't strong enough to contain the parasite, and it burst out of their bodies as monsters (see #9). So Han had his followers genetically modified to contain the parasite, resulting in last issue's berserkers.Han now explains the next phase of his plan. He wants the Avengers to find him - they will make great hosts. He intends to flood a local village with bacteria-water and catalyst. The Avengers will try to save the villagers and will get infected. He will capture any surviving Avengers and clone them into his army.During the conversation Sorokin had a drink. Han now tells him it contained the catalyst, and kicks him into a pool of bacteria-water to die. (And possibly to deliver the catalyst that will activate all the water to flood the village.)The quinjet and the SHIELD helicarrier rendezvous over Han's mountain. The Captains join Iron Man and Thor on the bridge of the carrier. Tony Stark realises that Han may want them as hosts, just as the villain releases the infected water.The team argue over who could survive the bacteria better to help the villagers, when IM remembers the Hulk. They rush to his transparent cell where Spider-Woman is sitting outside to offer the still-ill behemoth some comfort. Stark intends to drop Hulk's indestructible cell to form a dam to hold the stream of water back, and set the already-infected Hulk free to attack the base.Jessica won't let them do it unless Hulk agrees. But he does.The cell does form a dam, and Hulk starts swimming up the waterfall. Thor uses Mjolnir to suck the water up in a cyclone. He drags it up to space where it freezes. And then Captain Marvel hurls it away from earth.Back on land Hulk forces the fortress doors open, and Captain America, Iron Man and Spider-Woman follow him in. Of course they have to fight some more berserkers. But soon Cap leads them further in to confront Han. The villain continues to boast of his plans. Until Hulk grabs him by the head and hurls him against a wall.It's all over and the team are back in Avengers Tower. Tony is trying to boost Bruce's pessimistic ego over ice cream. Then the others join them, including Spider-Man and Wolverine. Carol reminds them that the 2 of them made a bet as to who would find the missing Sergei Sorokin 1st. But neither the Hulk team (him and Spider-Woman) nor the Iron Man team (him and Thor) won, because it was Carol and Steve Rogers what done it.The bet was that the loser would walk naked from Avengers Tower to Baxter Building and back. Jessica and Thor clarify that it was the team leaders who made the bet, so they must suffer the penalty.The 2 scientists reluctantly agree, but Bruce does the walk as Hulk. Falcon and Wasp are among the audience, and Carol has alerted the public via radio stations. Tony has a cell phone jammer so no-one can take pictures with their phones. But Spider-Man pops up with an old-fashioned camera to record the moment for posterity. And for the Daily Bugle. The pair get fined for public indecency. Stark makes a matching donation to the CDC. (And probably pays Bruce's fine too.)

(no title given)
On the island of Rugen, Germany archaeologists have unearthed a box but now someone has killed them with her sword. The box contains the helmet of Erida, Goddess Of Hate, and the woman describes herself as her last priestess. But we know her as Sin, daughter of the Red Skull.In Avengers Mansion Edwin Jarvis has alerted Captain America (Steve Rogers) to a crisis. Cap's there to inaugurate a new Avengers team that he thinks is needed in a world where mutantkind is recovering from the Fall Of X event and Dr Doom is the new Sorcerer Supreme and there's loads of new vampires who can now survive in daylight (both since the Blood Hunt event). During Blood Hunt he led an impromptu team of Avengers to protect New York from the vamps (in #14-16 of the current Av series). And now he's instituting the Avengers Emergency Response Squad (AvengERS) to handle such crises.Coincidentally the 1st 3 invited members of the team arrive:- Photon (Monica Rambeau), Shang-Chi and Wasp (Janet Van Dyne). Steve welcomes the 2 female frequent flyers (and sometime leaders of the Avengers) plus Shang (who was part of the 2010 Secret Avengers, the 2012 Avengers and the 2014 Avengers World series) and tells them that more chars are on their way but they've got an immediate mission to attend to. We learn that Sin is using the ancient psionic artefact to start an infestation of hatred. Shang uses his magic Ten Rings to whisk them to their destination of Rugen.They arrive to find literally red-eyed people fighting each other and causing mayhem. Having 3 ex-leaders of the Avengers starts to cause its own chaos as Photon pre-empts control from Cap. Meanwhile just across on the mainland in Stralsund 4 members of the Serpent Society (Black Mamba, Puff Adder, ex-leader Sidewinder and newbie Tiger Snake) are using the cover of the nearby conflict to sneak in to steal a large old wooden cask. And Sin continues to rant that hate is the oldest emotion and as Erida she feeds off it. And continues to expand the range of her influence. It even inflames the 3-way leadership rivalry. But Shang-Chi uses his martial arts training to keep control and strikes the other 3 in a specific brain area to temporarily numb the hate circuit (insula and putamen). They agree this gives him the right to declare "Avengers assemble".Back in Manhattan Hawkeye (Clint Barton) has arrived at the Mansion and is sitting at the round meeting table. He decides to await the next crisis but meanwhile gets out a pack of cards. Lightning (Miguel Santos) is next, complaining that they haven't been in contact since the Avengers: No Surrender epic. Then She-Hulk (Jennifer Walters) and then, surprising them all, college student Lightspeed (Julie Power) of Power Pack (who obliquely refers to her romance in Avengers Academy with Majesdanian alien Karolina Dean of the Runaways).Sin attacks Cap's shield claiming to have broken it once before (I think she means Fear Itself #5 but it was actually Odin's brother the Serpent that did it). Wasp attacks her but is repulsed. Shang-Chi is next and then she grapples with Photon. But Cap and Shang launch a shattering counter-attack with shield and fists. But the bloodied villain calls on her hate-filled horde to attack the heroes. The Avengers don't want to hurt the possessed people but Photon launches herself out of the melee to attack Sin directly. And Wasp has a plan.Hercules has joined the gathering at the Mansion. They haven't started playing cards and Jen says it wouldn't be a fair contest because Miguel outplayed the Grandmaster (bluffing him at poker in Av#689 at the end of Av:NS). Hercules says he's beaten an Elder Of The Universe too, but Jen objects that outboxing Champion isn't the same. (I can't remember such a fight. Marvel Fandom Wiki suggests it was in She-Hulk (2004) #7 but I find no mention of Herc there, and if he was there he'd have to be 1 of the losers). Wonder Man (Simon Williams) then completes the assembly and mentions that Herc is 3-up in their arm-wrestling contests. Julie wants to drop out when she thinks they're playing for money which she can't afford but Simon assures her that the loser just has to wash the dishes. She tells Wondy she's seen 1 of his movies, but only because her dad's a fan.Sin is feeding off photon's anger but Monica tells her she's taking in loads of electrons too. The villain dismisses science as ineffectual against magic. Then Wasp flies up her nose and causes an electric spasm in her head. Photon suggests they focus on destroying the magic helm. She borrows Cap's shield as Sin sneezes Wasp out. Cap and Shang start battering the helmet as Photon flies up to space. And then she zooms down to slam the shield in Sin's face. The foe boasts that they've only delivered her into the arms of Erida. And she burns to ash. And the German populace recover from possession.At the poker table Simon calls but Jen says she can tell he's bluffing. Her courtroom experience and all his big screen appearances mean that she knows his tells. Simon tries to laugh *that* off as a bluff but yet he folds. Herc reminds him this is just a friendly game, but also 'reminds' him that his Olympian Allspeak power means that he can read everyone's body language too. Then the others' reaction shows that they didn't know about that. Jarvis starts to bring in food but a final late arrival joins them - Night Thrasher (Dwayne Taylor). Lightspeed finally lets out her inner fangirl and NT opens a box to reveal matching team jackets for them all, and some other stuff.A final epilogue in the Serpent Stronghold caverns below Rawling, New York shows us the large gathering of the Serpent Society with their leader Viper now calling himself Pit Viper (but fully-masked so it might not be him). And it seems that Tiger Snake is someone he personally brought into the team. He tells Puff Adder to pour some of the aged whale oil, steeped in suffering and waste, from the cask into a glass bowl where it presumably mixes with other ingredients which the boss says will produce the Serpent's Tears. He claims they will be a deadly and marketable weapon, but will also honour their backer Mephisto who will weep the Tears. And we see his image in smoke from the bowl (unless he's really there).

In Avengers #14-16 Captain America (Steve Rogers) successfully led a scratch team of Avengers against the vampire hordes of the Blood Hunt event. Springboarding from that last issue he inaugurated a continuing team he calls the Avengers Emergency Response Squad (AvengERS). This has a large membership and whoever's currently available will deal with any emergency that arises.This time we see many ghosts of apes aggressively haunting Kingsport, Massachusetts, and learn that it happens every night.In Avengers Mansion Edwin Jarvis is taking out the trash while Hawkeye (Clint Barton) savours his new batch of ginger cakes and tells Cap that he'll takes as many shifts as he's asked as long as Jarvis is cooking. Night Thrasher (Dwayne Taylor) shows Cap the matching team jackets he's supplied (and showed last issue to the team members who didn't go on that issue's mission). Hercules is on monitor duty and alerts them to the Kingsport hauntings. The ghosts are radioactive and it's spoiling the food and water. They've received no help from the authorities so Mayor Tom Sole has made a plea in the media. Clint grabs a jacket and goes to prep a quinjet.They land in the town (all with jackets) and start hitting ghosts and saving citizens. But only demi-god Herc's blows have any effect, the others' just pass through the apes. NT takes time out to test the reservoir for radiation and reports that the ghapes quietly let him do it. He also reports that it's cosmic radiation. Hawk leads some apes away leaving Herc to enjoy battling the others. But Clint winds up defending a bunch of townsfolk until Cap vaults in to help him. Thrasher reports that he's tried using sign language to communicate with the apes but to no avail. Then Clint tries a longshot and just tells the foes to "Stand down" and they do. He also reminds Cap that he's partially deaf and can lipread, and says the apes seem to be saying the same thing over and over again which he interprets as "Off drag". But then Herc joins them and his godly All-Speak ability enables him to 'translate' it to Kragoff, ie Ivan Kragoff the Red Ghost who used cosmic radiation to create his Super-Apes.Elsewhere in town 1 of the ghost apes sees some of the Serpent Society in a shack. We saw a slightly-different group last issue doing something near where the AvengERS were busy with their previous task. This time Sidewinder is again on watch while the mysterious Tiger Snake leads a different pair (Asp and Princess Python) searching a fruit cellar for moonshine booze. But this stuff was created by an evil embalmer who added bone fragments from murdered folk to produce the mystic Griever's Swill. The Princess is fed up with running these 'errands' for their leader Pit Viper. They're not making any money and she doesn't believe in Mephisto and the Serpent's Tears this will contribute to. TS tells her that he owes his life to the demon, and in the end the payoff will be *big*.In the middle of town the Mayor is ordering the police to keep firing at the ghosts even though it does no good. Then Cap leads the AvengERS to tell him that the apes aren't attacking the town, they're looking for Ivan Kragoff. Sole doesn't recognise the name but says that an unknown out-of-towner recently bought an old house that had been foreclosed. He leads them there and Taylor detects large amounts of cosmic radiation here and 1 infra-red reading in the basement. Rogers tells Herc to bring the building down.We get an interlude back at Avengers Mansion where some other team members are waiting for any other crisis that crops up. Lightspeed and Wasp are on the roof. Young Julie Power complains about fitting shifts in between her College work at ESU but not going on missions. She's also in awe of Janet Van Dyne who seems so good at multi-tasking:- Running her fashion empire and the detective agency (in the Avengers Inc mini-series). She's led the Avengers and even learned an alien language while she was trapped in the Microverse (between the end of Secret Invasion and the end of the 2010 Avengers series). Jan tells her not to try to be like her or anyone else but be the best version of herself.With the above-ground house cleared away the AvengERS can go down to the basement. Thrasher has a flashlight which reveals lots of canned food but no Kragoff. Clint recalls that he can go invisible but that should still mean he can see. So he fires a flash arrow (without warning his colleagues) which makes the Red Ghost involuntarily turn visible. The RG has a big 'gun' which he claims is a coagulation ray. He tells them he nearly died recently and came here to heal, but his near-death allowed the ghosts to find him. They are the ghosts of his earlier failed attempts at creating his Super-Apes. They didn't gain super-powers but they did become smart enough to learn to speak. NT's heard enough so he dives on the villain because he recognised that his gun was just an X-ray flashlight. And Hercules suggests that his adamantine mace may be able to absorb and disperse the apes' radiation energy and give them peace.In a 2nd Mansion interlude Lightning (Miguel Santos) has persuaded Shang-Chi to watch with him a 3-film set of action buddy movies co-starring Arnold Schwarzburger and Simon Williams (Wonder Man of the AvengERS). Gay Miguel is trying to convince Shang that the film is really about 2 macho men trying to convince everyone that they're not in love with each other.Meanwhile back at the real action Clint Barton is reporting another lip-reading chat with the ghost apes, with Hercules occasionally correcting his translation. It seems that they can't go to their final rest until they kill Kragoff. Cap and the Mayor can't allow that because Kragoff must face human justice. But Steve says they can do whatever they want to him short of killing. Ivan obviously doesn't agree. But the apes pour down into the basement with him. And when they leave he's a whimpering wreck. Then Herc's mace removes their cosmic radiation and the ape ghosts fade away. And the team prepare to help repair the town.This issue's epilogue is in a wooded area deep beneath(?!) Texas streets. A man with a bowie knife refers to it as their habitat as he whittles short stakes while watching a report of the vampire invasion of New York on a large screen apparently floating in the air. He tells his daughter Abby she's ready to take up the family business and go vampire hunting in NY. We see her stepping over the body of a 'fanger' that she's apparently just ripped the heart out of.

Company man
Vision is wandering the streets of New York in human guise. He returns to Avengers Tower, drops his disguise and floats up through the floors. On the way he passes Carol Danvers helping Jessica Jones-Cage move more boxes of her stuff out, and complaining that she never sees her since she had a baby and got married, and she and Luke left the Avengers. Vision soothes baby Danielle with the colours of the solar jewel on his forehead. He says he learned the trick bringing up his own children. Which surprises Jessica because she never knew he had any. Vision says he doesn't, and leaves.Carol finds him looking at images of Billy and Tommy of the Young Avengers. He tries to claim that he was just reviewing Avengers cases that happened while he was out of commission. But she suggests he ought to contact them, because supposedly they are reincarnations of his dead twins. Vision shouts that the twins were never real. They were a fiction created by his ex-wife Scarlet Witch. The 1st of many cruel things she did to him. (An image shows him being torn apart during Avengers Disassembled.)Carol calms him down and he apologises. He also comments on the other Vision that existed while he was 'away'. And how that version of him was able to show emotions, even love. Unlike himself now. (Carol hints that his rage indicates he's not as emotionless as he claims.)Their chat is interrupted by Iron Man alerting them to a problem at Roxxon HQ. It's under attack by 1 of their own employees, Arthur Dearborn the Sunturion. He can take Iron Man's repulsor blasts and avoids Captain Marvel's attack by letting her fly through him. Vision successfully fights him while matching his changing density. But Sunturion vanishes in a flash of light.Dearborn had given Roxxon warning before he attacked. That and the Avengers interference meant that the building was mostly empty when Sunturion trashed lots of it. But CEO Todd Hamilton was still in there. He claims that Dearborn's living energy form is starting to break up. Roxxon tried to find a cure, but today he told Arthur that it was hopeless.Tony Stark is suspicious, knowing the company's dubious past record. He accuses Hamilton of giving up on Dearborn because Roxxon just didn't want to spend the money to save him. Hamilton doesn't deny it, but says the Avengers must stop Sunturion anyway before he hurts innocent people.Iron Man calls in Giant-Man and Quicksilver to help. He also has Cannonball, Living Lightning and Monica Rambeau on video-links. Tony Stark and Henry Pym will try to invent a way to stop Sunturion teleporting, while Pietro and the 3 on video will use their speed to whiz round Roxxon sites looking for him. Vision will wait to confront Dearborn when and where they find him.Stark reminds them that Arthur is a good man. But since Roxxon turned him into the energy being Sunturion his job at the corporation has been his whole life. Now that Roxxon is abandoning him to die, he has nothing left.Before going on the hunt Quicksilver takes time to goad Vision by likening him to Dearborn. He hated the android for marrying his sister Wanda. He didn't believe then that Vision had the humanity he professed at the time. Pietro's glad to be proven right, even though it doesn't matter anymore now that Vision and Scarlet Witch are apart.Vision tells Stark he's going to follow a hunch. He flies to where Dearborn's ex-wife lives with her new family, and finds Arthur watching them. Dearborn tells Vision she divorced him even before he became the unhuman Sunturion, because he was in reality married to his job already. Vision sympathises, and advises Arthur to let the Avengers help him.But Arthur reveals another reason he is attacking Roxxon. They gave his powers to a woman some time ago, but she turned against them because she discovered they had bad motives. But Sunturion killed her for the company, which he now regrets. And he now realises she was right.Sunturion and Vision now fight, while Vision continues to try to persuade him to stop. Until Arthur sees he's frightening his wife and her family. Then he reverts to human guise and asks for help.Vision takes Sunturion to Giant-Man and Iron Man for study. While their machines whirr away he asks them why they left it so long before reanimating him after he was destroyed in Avengers Disassembled. They say that rebuilding his body would have been easy, but they worried about how to restore his personality. It was thought safer to let his internal systems heal themselves. Then the Young Avengers' Vision appeared and they thought maybe he had Vision's personality. Meanwhile lots of stuff got in the way (from House of M to Avengers vs X-Men).Now Sunturion pops up and asks them if they've found a way to save him. But Stark says they've only managed to confirm that he's dying. They'll need more time. But it's time Arthur doesn't have. Dearborn says that Roxxon themselves must have reams of data on him. But Stark counters that Roxxon claim their data was all destroyed in the battle against his female replacement. Sunturion doesn't believe it - Roxxon wouldn't give up trying to save him if they didn't know how to replace him.Feeling angry and betrayed he tries to teleport away. But Stark has sealed the lab against the microwaves Arthur uses. So Sunturion just blasts a hole in the wall and teleports through it.The Avengers track him to Roxxon's New Jersey factory. Sunturion again gives the employees a short time to evacuate before he attacks. Giant-Man, Iron Man and Vision turn up with Captain Marvel and Quicksilver. But they can't stop their opponent blasting a hole in Roxxon's wall.But this wasn't just any wall. Arthur has exposed a lab where Hamilton is overseeing the creation of a troop of Sunturions. Dearborn asks the volunteers if Roxxon has told them that the process will eventually kill them? And from their response we can deduce they haven't.Sunturion breaks their links to the machinery and urges them to flee. But he goes after Hamilton personally. While Quicksilver helps the subjects escape, CM tries to save the CEO. But Sunturion just teleports her to space. Giant-Man and Iron Man prepare to use a portable version of the microwave blocker that might be able to contain Sunturion's energies.But Vision beats them to it. He has been studying Arthur's microwave radiation, and he now uses  his solar jewel to absorb Sunturion into himself.Stark says they can't legally attack Roxxon, or stop their research. But he'll use publicity to force them to hand over the data so that he can work on a way to save Arthur. (They all assume Vision will be able to restore the energy he absorbed.)But this isn't good enough for Vision. He unleashes the microwave energy to destroy the machinery that creates Sunturions. And at the same time recreates Dearborn.Suddenly Hamilton announces that the data on Arthur has miraculously been found. He asks Dearborn to come back to them, and they'll find a way to cure him. Stark accuses the CEO of needing the only existing Sunturion now that he can't make others. But to Vision's surprise Arthur agrees to go back to work for Roxxon, the only family he knows.Later Vision says he's leaving the Avengers to find himself. And the 1st thing he does is visit Billy/Wiccan in the home he shares with his boyfriend Hulkling.

The Avengers (Black Panther, Blade, Captain America, Captain Marvel, Iron Man, She-Hulk and Thor) are fighting someone called the Autocrat outside their North Pole Avengers Mountain HQ (the body of a dead Celestial). A voiceover describes what's going on for us as Jennifer Walters summons all her rage to defeat him and then she orders him to release the other Avengers from his mental control or she smash his head in. He obeys but tells her he'll still win. The virus that infected the team and gave him control was only an early version. His new version will be impossible to break free of, and then the world will worship him as their god-king. But she points out that only *he* can exert that control, so if she kills him the virus won't matter. Cap A reminds her that Avengers don't kill but she says it's the only way given how infectious the virus is.Then she stops and wonders what she's doing. Autocrat laughs at their nobility but Blade hits him in the back of the head. Tony Stark realises it's happening again, and Cap M and Thor concur that they can't remember how they got here. Stark says this is the moment they've been waiting for and asks Panther if they're 'on the same page'. T'Challa says he expects so.The voiceover thought they wouldn't catch on this time because he's 'subsumed himself in his new role'. He apologises to the Avengers, although they of course can't hear him, but it's not easy to control things when he can only influence them. He *could* just tell them what it is he's been preparing them for, but he's constrained by the situation he's in to not do that. However he's totally surprised by what happens next.The Avengers teleport into a room in the HQ which none of them have been in before, including Tony and T'Challa despite the fact that it's full of Stark and Wakandan tech. The duo tell the others that they've each been building half a device, but in order for the 'voiceover' not to realise what they were doing that had to do it without discussing it with each other. They each used their years of working together to intuitively know what to do. And now they've teleported the 2 halves into this room for the 1st time to see if it will work. The machine will detect any previously unknown energy and force it to take physical form.The voiceover panics and then appears before them and screams at them that he was trying to help them, to save them, but they've ruined everything because now a mysterious 'he' will know where he is. Even Carol Danvers recognises him as the Beyonder who was responsible for Secret Wars I and II (she wasn't involved because she was in space as Binary with the Starjammers at the time). (Blade keeps quiet but he wasn't involved either.) Beyonder says she's right and recaps how he used to be a whole universe by himself but then he discovered the multiverse, became intrigued and that led to the Secret Wars.But now he adds that he was a child of the Beyonders (who destroyed the previous multiverse in the run-up to the 2015 Secret Wars) and has the same god-like powers as them. However their power is not their own, it came from a being called the Lost One who predated the omniverse (of multiverses). He created them and gave them a fraction of his power, but they rebelled and stole the rest of it and then banished him to a moon outside the omniverse. But recently he broke free of that prison and now stalks the current multiverse seeking the Beyonders who have scattered into hiding. And this Beyonder came to Earth where he's been preparing the Avengers (in the All-Out-Av mini-series) to help him against the foe.Our heroes aren't happy about this but he knows their principles won't let them turn their backs on him. Grudgingly they sort-of agree. But 1st Iron Man orders him to get rid of the Autocrat's virus (assuming correctly that he was behind this like all the other scenarios in AOA). Beyonder does that and then sends Autocrat back to his old life with no memory of any of this. 2nd Black Panther says they'll mediate a *peaceful* solution between him and the Lost One, but it must happen away from Earth. Beyonder points out that since the Av made him materialise the LO will already have detected he's here and sent someone to capture him.On cue the HQ's alarm system goes off and a woman arrives. Beyonder says he saw her attack the Avengers on the planet of the Drahl (AOA#4) and he didn't recognise her although he knows everyone in the universe but he did see she wore the uniform of the old Kharradun Empire. (*We* also saw her master then who is presumably the Lost One.) But now she names herself as Tiamok Rath of Kharradun and Beyonder realises he *did* know her but the LO somehow hid her from his memory. She claims that her master has been siphoning power from the Beyonders without them realising it, enough to hide him and her.She and Cap M have unfinished business from the Drahl planet. Thor wasn't there but he will stand with Carol now. But Tiamok's super-powered martial arts moves take him down quite easily so Cap M hits her and then she has to athletically dodge Cap A's shield, IM's repulsors and the fists of Shulk while attacking BP. Blasts from her eyes even trouble Iron Man and she's enjoying herself as she somersaults over Blade. She says she came here for the blood of the thief, who blasts her point-blank. But she survives and says that his stolen power can't harm her or the Lost One. And she nicks Beyonder's cheek with her knife.Thor now has her in a chokehold but Tiamok doesn't care because her mission is accomplished. As Captain Marvel and She-Hulk help restrain her she continues to explain that if Beyonder uses his power to do anything major like leaving Earth then the Lost One will detect it. And he will be here soon to destroy this planet. Beyonder says it's not safe for him to be in physical form now or to 'hold these thoughts', so he dematerialises while reminding them that (over the course of All-Out Avengers) he has given them the tools to fight the enemy, and he'll try to help them.Black Panther recalls that they gained a strong planetary defence shield (AOA#3) and some unlimited power crystals (AOA#4) so they get to work installing them, hoping that the Lost One doesn't have more minions to throw at them. But we and Beyonder see the Black Order on the way.

Cosmic being Cal-Horra created the Beyonders but they rebelled against him, stole his power and imprisoned him as the Lost One. Now he's free and wants his power back. Most of the Beyonders have gone into hiding. Our best-known Beyonder fled to Earth where he tricked the Avengers into creating a planetary defence shield which has now imprisoned Cal-Horra on Earth with our heroes. But his fellow Beyonders are angry that he used 4 of their number to power the shield, and so they stripped him of his powers and stuck him on Earth.This issue opens with the Lost One sitting on a makeshift throne of rubble contemplating the bodies of fallen heroes like Cyclops, Invisible Woman, Spider-Man and Thing. His minion Tiamok Rath drags the merely-human Beyonder to him. Horra wants to know how to dismantle the shield but his fallen foe claims that the other Beyonders took such knowledge from him. The LO examines him and declares that there *is* such a gap in his memory, but there are also signs of an earlier tampering.Much time has elapsed since last issue and Cal-Horra has reduced New York to ruins and killed most of its heroes. This book's 6 Avengers are still alive and 4 of them (Captain Marvel, Iron Man (in an old armour that's all he has left), She-Hulk and Thor) are making their way through a tunnel to a golden sphere which is open and showing another version of our Beyonder sitting on his own throne. They inform Black Panther that they've found him and he confirms that things are ready at his end. This person claims to be the Beyonder but Tony Stark informs him that he's only a construct holding a single strand of memory - how to shut down the shield. As they tell him of the latest developments and try to persuade him to help them, Iron Man surreptitiously attaches a mechanism to the golden globe.Then the Lost One arrives with Tiamok and the real Beyonder. He senses that the device will detonate if he uses his power here, destroying the memory he seeks. Cal asks if they intend to fight (Tiamok's up for it) or maybe they'll exchange banter. Carol Danvers restrains angry Shulk who accuses him of murdering thousands. The foe says many more than that but no more need die if they surrender the memory. Thor refuses to negotiate so Horra propels him up and out into the rubble of the City. Tiamok and the other Avengers follow. The Lost One says he's fought (and beaten) many heroes and he knows what makes them tick. They *will* abandon their principled stance to save people. Tiamok just wants to know where Captain America is. Cal assures her that the Captain will surely turn up with some last-ditch strategy that's doomed to fail.On cue Steve Rogers does join the fray, coated with something black that makes the enemy feel his punches. Horra recognises the blood of Celestials who created *him*. CapA explains that the Celestials made sure that he would never be able to harm *them*. And this blood is taken from the dead Celestial who is their HQ called Avengers Mountain. CapM tells Shulk and Thor to go because she, CapA and IM can handle things here. The duo teleport away as Carol faces up to Tiamok, who calls her Princess. (They share grudges going back to All-Out Avengers #4.)Meanwhile the 2 versions of Beyonder are left alone. The real deal says he foresaw his folk doing something like this to him so he left this memory here to use as a bargaining chip. And he persuades the memory fragment to return to him.Up above Cal-Horra and Cap are duking it out while the cosmic being tries to persuade the human to stop protecting the Beyonders because they don't deserve it. Then Jennifer Walters and Thor return also coated in Celestial blood. The Thunder God declares that they are fighting to avenge the fallen thousands. But the Beyonder emerges to tell them to stop fighting. He can give Cal-Horra what he wants. Iron Man tries to restrain him but Beyonder declares that he can't stand living as a human (he tried it before in the 2nd Secret Wars event) - he wants to become 1 with the Cosmos again. His foe promises him that and the Beyonder opens his mind to him. Horra reads the memory and deactivates the shield. And he consumes the 4 Beyonders who powered it. He now turns to the Beyonder again and refuses to give him back the power that was stolen from *himself* anyway. Instead he grants him his wish by dissipating him all across the universe.The Black Panther leaps on him, also coated in the Celestial blood. His object is to delay the foe while satellites built with Celestial tech reach orbit and aim Celestial weapons at him, enough to obliterate him. Horra points out that this would also destroy them and NY, but She-Hulk says they're willing to sacrifice a city to save the world. He can't detect such satellites and thinks they're bluffing. Cap points out that possibly Celestial tech is undetectable to him. They want him to restore the city and its murdered inhabitants, and then they'll let him leave.Cal-Horra does what they want and we see New York restored and full of live people (including the 4 heroes mentioned at the beginning). As he prepares to head off to hunt more Beyonders he tells the surrounding populace that they should be proud of their heroes. He bids farewell to Tiamok, a Princess of her people, freeing her to go her own way with the power he gave her. She says goodbye to Captain Marvel, and they call each other Princess, as she flies off. The Avengers also split up. And we hear Beyonder's voice everywhere begging anyone to hear him and tell him who he is.

In the All-Out Avengers mini-series the Beyonder secretly put groups of Avengers into situations that would teach them stuff they needed to know in order to face a coming threat. Last issue T'Challa and Tony Stark flushed him out into the open but he claimed this was a disaster. He explained that the Beyonders got their powers from a powerful being in a previous multiverse and then imprisoned him outside the multiverses. But now that Lost One is free and is hunting down all the Beyonders for revenge and to get his power back. Then the Lost One's 'herald' Tiamok Rath attacked. The Avengers defeated her but the Beyonder got away.Beyonder reverts to his regular modus operandi again, and as usual in these 2 mini-series the issue starts in the middle of the resulting conflict. Lots of civilians in New York have been given superpowers and sent on a rampage. The Avengers are trying to subdue them without hurting them. We see Captain America (Steve Rogers), Captain Marvel, She-Hulk, Spider-Man (Peter Parker) and Thor with Daredevil, Dr Strange (Clea) and Spider-Man (Miles Morales) helping out. But we concentrate on Blade as he fights his way through foes to get somewhere.But we turn instead the the dead Celestial that is Avengers Mountain HQ at the North Pole where T'Challa and Tony Stark are investigating power crystals they got from an alien planet (in AOA#4) which they have already used to boost the planetary defence shield (which they got in AOA#3). But they believe the crystals can do so much more if they learn how to control them and they're working on a particular device now. The only other current occupant of the HQ is the captive Tiamok who waits patiently for her boss to arrive.Elsewhere in New York (Central Park?) Wasp (Janet Van Dyne) is battling a childhood friend (who we've never seen before) Constance who is 1 of those given a power and made 'evil'. She claims to have been always secretly annoyed at the way everything came easily to Jan but she never treated things seriously. Wasp reacts defensively but eventually hits back and gets her foe in a judo lock. But Constance directs her attention to where Mayor Luke Cage is getting killed by 2 other empowered citizens. Janet flies to help him by taking on 1 of his attackers, but this enables Constance to zap her in the back. Luke is still being blasted by his other opponent so he can't help Jan when Constance grabs her by the throat. She says that Jan's compassion made her a good leader of the Avengers, and made her go to her super-friend's aid just then. But that compassion will cause her death because she won't be able to bring herself to kill her old friend who's now going to kill *her*. And she claims that beneath the compulsion that she feels like all the other enhanced folks she really *does* hate Jan and will be glad to kill her.Blade reaches the apartment of a blue-skinned alien female who he calls Sel Sennan (who we've also never met before). He tells her he knows she's a refugee from another world who's been passing as human here for 12 years. But now she's causing all the chaos outside. She explains that on her world she was surgically enhanced for military purposes to grant superpowers to soldiers in her vicinity. But she learned how to shrink the radius of effect to nothing and escaped to Earth. But suddenly her full power has just kicked in without warning and even stronger.Blade tells her that it's the Beyonder that made that happen, but Black Panther and Iron Man are working on a way to cancel her power. But she doesn't believe him, and thinks that they'll just lock her away until they need her to make *their* powers stronger (which is presumably exactly what Beyonder intends them to do). She panics and that amps up her 'converts'. But despite that Wasp now has the upper hand over Constance. Blade calms Sennan down and BP & IM teleport in to apply their device as a patch on her arm which cancels her affect on New York. Constance apologises to Jan and says she doesn't really hate her but *does* find her annoying. Jan says the feelings mutual and they make up.In her cell Tiamok talks to the Beyonder who she knows is listening. She tells him his efforts are futile. The Lost One is on his way here no matter what he does. But his troops the Warlords Of Thanos (ie the Black Order) will be here 1st.
