The pillars, part 2: Escape from cellblock Steve
It's the ordinary man in glasses' 1st day waking up in his orange jumpsuit in his cell. He ventures out the open door to the common area and announces his name as Steve to anyone who might listen. A chubby man in another cell says his name's Steve too. They both agree they don't know how they got here. Chubby Steve says he just remembers being in his room in the nervous hospital. Another man, bearded and bandana-wearing, rushes out of another cell and runs into a doorway that has just opened opposite him shouting "Death to the war mongers". And a dog wanders in from another cell with a tag saying "My name is Steve". A conveyor belt in the floor delivers bandana man back into the central room and the door shuts. Yet another older man sitting in shadows in his cell tells them that the man isn't dead, just stupid. Bandana man reports that he had to negotiate an obstacle course then someone hit him. Glasses Steve shouts out to anyone who can hear asking why they're here. Shadow man calls them a stupid bunch of Steves and says this is Hell and he deserves to be here.Day 2 and bandana Steve launches his attack again while glasses Steve eats something out of a can and chubby Steve cowers in his room. Bandana Steve is brought back again and calls the others cowards. Shadow Steve says "Some of us are something much worse".Day 3. Bandana man loudly declares himself Steve Rogers, a political prisoner because he opposed the war. Chubby Steve says that the dog told him he's Steve Rogers too, so they all seem to be. Apparently the dog also claims that they're all from universes different to this 1. Chubby says that he was hiding under his bedcovers in his hospital room when he sensed someone in the room with him, and then he was here. Glasses says he was drawing pages for Tales Of Suspense when he heard a car pull up outside his window, 34 floors up. Bandana tries to escape again.As he does on each succeeding day when the door briefly opens.Day 11. The dog barks and chubby interprets it as a warning that bandana will die if he keeps this up. Chubby and shadow still stay in their rooms but glasses joins bandana's charge. They both return beaten up on the conveyor. Glasses says he saw something and starts to scratch a picture on his cell wall with a shard of food tin. He draws more of it over the next 2 days.On day 14 the dog joins the charge. On day 16 the 3 plan tactics for their attack but they still get sent back. Day 17 the dog tries to persuade chubby that he's strong enough to help them. Day 18 bandana asks shadow why he's afraid to join them. Shadow says he's afraid of what's inside him. Day 19 glasses gives chubby a pep talk. On day 20 4 of them make the charge. When they return shadow leaves his cell to join them. He says they're idiots playing soldiers but they've got guts, so they're more like him than he realised. We now see that he has Wolverine claws, an eye-patch and a US flag tattooed on his face. He asks them to tell him everything they've seen beyond the door and he'll tell them how they'll get out of here.Day 33. All 5 run through the door and we finally get to see what's beyond it. After dodging or destroying various things in the obstacle course they see now 5 opponents hidden by shadows and blinding lights. The foes throw 5 round shields at them and they each catch 1. We see that they are all versions of Captain America's shield with different insignia at the centre. We also see their opponents clearly as 5 versions of Cap:- an armoured knight, a werewolf, a monkey, a child and someone who looks like US Agent.The knight explains that they've just passed the entry stage for their training. There's a war on and they need every Steve Rogers they can get. (I don't think bandana Steve will take that very well.)The we pull back to see Ant-Man (Tony Stark 818), Deathlok and Ghost Rider overseeing the  operation, commenting that it took a long time to get Weapon America to unsheathe his claws. Deathlok says he's detected a Steve Rogers in a universe where he was caught in a gamma explosion, so they'll go get him next.And we revisit artist Steve's cell to see that he drew a Cap shield on his wall, along with marking off the days and a 'Steve Rogers was here'.

Avengers Assemble part 5: The war of wars
The battle for Avengers Tower and the God Quarry continues as the multiversal Avengers defend the place against the multiversal Mephistos (the Council Of Red). Last issue the Earth-818 versions of Ant-Man (Tony Stark), Moon Knight and Vision discovered that some of the Mephistos were tunnelling down through the Quarry to get to the the 1st Firmament beneath from which they could conquer all the earlier multiverses. Meanwhile up above the 3 Goddesses Of Thunder arrived with Old Man Phoenix (Logan/Wolverine).This issue begins with some flashbacks with more information about the new arrivals. 1st we learn that it was the Multiversal Masters Of Evil's Dark Phoenix (who in Avengers #64 we discovered was an alternate-reality Mystique) who killed Old Man Phoenix and scattered his body parts across the multiverse. (And it seems that she's from the same timeline as OMP, Earth-14412.) We previously saw the Goddesses Of Thunder roaming the multiverse collecting those parts along with versions of Thor's hammer Mjolnir from Earths where the MMOE had killed the Thunder God. Now we see them win Logan's head from a Mangog and then journey on in their skyship pulled by the Mjolnirs.Now in the God Quarry AM, MK & V emerge on the surface to see OMP descending on the Mephistos with Phoenix Fire and wrath. The GOT Ellisiv is doing the voiceover for this issue. She describes her older sister Frigg leading multiversal Avengers into the fight, and her battle-loving younger sister Atli in the thick of it. The more philosophical Ellisiv remains on the ship, but now she releases all the Mjolnirs to descend on the Mephistos. She herself follows to add her mace to the mix.Most of the Mephistos are killed and the rest flee. Thor, God Of Fists wants to pursue them but a Captain Marvel (the Carol Danvers from #9) thinks they must stay to defend the Tower. Ellisiv feels power in the rocks below and wonders if the Tower itself may not have been the target. Old Man Phoenix agrees that the Tower is just here to protect what lies below. Ant-Man now tells them that the Mephistos were digging downwards, and Captain Carter sends the Howling Commandos (alternate versions of Steve Rogers/Captain America) to check they're not still at it. (A scrawny 1 of the Steves has (successfully!) picked up a Mjolnir which he says was calling to him.)Moon Knight (Mariama Spector) wants to help wounded Ant-Man to the Tower where the currently powerless Ghost Rider (Robbie Reyes) is monitoring things. But it suddenly gets scrunched by the arrival of Doom The Living Planet. And Doom Supreme, leader of what *was* the MMOE (decimated by the current and 1M BC Avengers in Av#63-64), sends his multiversal army of Dooms to take the Quarry. OMP and the Star Panther attack him but can't get through his mystical defences, and the multiversal Avengers include no sorcerers.But help is at hand as Avenger Prime, master of the Tower, appears having escaped from the Mephistos who beset him (in Avengers Assemble Alpha). Now he reveals himself to be a Loki with the Amulet Of Agamotto on his brow. (As he says, you can't have an Avengers without a Loki to bring them together.)

The pillars, part 5: Stark repair
A member of Avenger Prime's Army of Deathloks and Ant-Man (Tony Stark) from Earth-818 are accompanying Ghost Rider (Robbie Reyes) in his Hell Charger car in a journey across the multiverse seeking allies in versions of iconic Avengers members (what the titles of this subseries call the Pillars) to oppose the Multiversal Masters Of Evil who are systematically conquering universes (or at least Earths).Now Stark is having a long drink of alcohol while they have a rest. Deathlok urges them to continue but Tony objects that they've already collected the set. (In the past 4 issues) they recruited the Star Panther (#6), Thor God Of Fists (#8), the Howling Commandos consisting of various Steve Rogers (#7), and the multiversal Carol Corps (#9). But DL says they still need an Iron Man.Their 1st Iron Man is a Tony Stark who's a drunkard like Ant-Man, who they see die when he crashlands the iron suit into a petrol station. Our Tony is ready to give up straight away but GR claims that the team won't hold together without him.Their next is a Tony in a post-apocalyptic world who built things out of stuff in a junkyard. But the local people thought he was a witch and killed him.Next up is a Stark who's transferred his consciousness into a robot much bigger than worlds and roams the cosmos satisfying his addiction by consuming gas giant planets.We skip over various Starks who use their Iron Man suits as robot bartenders, others who have flown into the Sun, and others who have just gone mad.We do spend time with an old Tony in a cave obsessively building improved Iron Man suits trying to achieve the perfect 1 that will allow him to escape his captors. But actually those captors are long-dead. They leave him but AM says he'll give it 1 more shot and then he's going to come back and stay in this cave.The next shot is an even-older Tony who's dying in bed. He's spent his life fixing things for people but now his bad heart is giving out. Our Tony offers him a drink but the fixer says he never touches the stuff. He imparts his secret to fixing broken things - it takes 1 to know 1. He hopes our broken Tony is here to take his place. And then he dies ...... and our Tony gets rid of all his booze. After a couple of days of detox he does return to the cave but only to bring that Stark out into the light. Then we see them in a support group of other recovering Tony's. It seems that Ant-Man is the Tony Stark the team needed all along, and he suspects that was always DL and GR's plan.

The Vibranium Man
This issue is set on an alternate Earth which was conquered by King Killmonger of the Multiversal Masters Of Evil when T'Challa was a baby. He specifically attacked Wakanda to get the future Avenger, whose parents saved him by sending him off in a vibranium rocket. In the Wakandan spirit land Djalia we now learn that the spirits of all alternate Wakandas communicate with each other and know that King Killmonger seeks out Black Panthers across the multiverse.This T'Challa lands on Chandilar, the Shi'ar throneworld, and many years later he's living in the sky-slums which house immigrants fleeing from KK's galactic fleet. Some of his War Panthers have come here and are 'interrogating' the locals about the Wakandan refugee. 1 of their victims falls from a slum building to certain death (from disintegration by the Shi'ar ground-dwellers' shock shields), but she is saved by a web created by T'Challa going by the masked alias Sky Spider.He attacks the mercenaries (dressed like Earth-616's Wakandan White Wolves) but doesn't fare too well. However Killmonger is in a hovering spacecraft above and decides to make sure of his foe's death by destroying the whole planet with blasts from the helmet of his Destroyer armour. But T'Challa's vibranium armour saves his life.T'Challa follows Killmonger's trail using damaged spaceships he's left in his wake. His armour has an AI he calls Dora Milaje. He's on 1 spacewreck that's run out of anything salvageable including oxygen, and he's gauging a space leap (with rocket boots) to another wreck nearby. He makes it and finds it full of dead Shi'ar. Later he's on another wreck containing War Panthers, 1 of whom is still just about alive. Here he can replenish his stock of vibranium. The WP begs not to be left here to die, so T'Challa takes him with him on his next leap - to die in airless space.Later he's standing on an asteroid that approaches Killmonger's ship. He leaps on board as the Vibranium Man and faces King Killmonger. The armoured foes battle. The vibranium suit again proves resistant to the Destroyer blast, but KK's (vibranium?) axe is able to shatter its faceplate. The villain hurls T'Challa (and axe) out into space to fall into the local star.3 days later Ghost Rider (Robbie Reyes of Earth-616), Ant-Man (Tony Stark of Earth-818) and 1 of Avenger Prime's army of Deathloks turn up in the spacefaring timeline-hopping Hell Charger car following T'Challa's energy signature. Stark claims that the trail leads into the star, so GR aims his car into the sun ... and his chains retrieve a vibranium shell which T'Challa cuts his way out of. And he claims that his sojourn in the sun have transformed him into the Star Panther.

Avengers Assemble part 9: The rise of the Omni-Avengers
The Multiversal Masters Of Evil led by Doom Supreme aided by Mephisto conquered many alternate timelines. Avenger Prime (an alternate Loki) gathered an army of alternate Avengers in the God Quarry to oppose them. The Earth-616 Avengers and their 1M BC predecessors combined to defeat the MMOE while the Red Council of alternate Mephistos attacked the multiversal Avengers in the God Quarry. The Council were defeated but Mephisto-616 has absorbed them all to become 1 giant-size Mephisto. Doom Supreme led an army of multiversal Dr Dooms, including Doom The Living Planet, against the multiversal Avengers. Our Avengers and the survivors of the 1M BC Avengers joined the battle in the God Quarry, as did Galactus and the dead Celestial who is Avengers Mountain HQ (in Avengers #66).The voiceover for this issue is provided by the Deathlok whose consciousness now animates the Celestial. (Avenger Prime also had an army of Deathloks but this is the last survivor of *them*.)Galactus the World Devourer is eating Planet Doom, and the other Dooms are in a frenzy. The Goddesses Of Thunder combine forces with Thor of the Earth 616 Avengers, Odin of the prehistoric Avengers and Thor, God Of Fists to unleash a storm of lightning and Mjolnirs. Our Captain America and Captain Marvel join the Carol Corps and the Howling Commandos of alternate Steve Rogers, at least 1 wielding another Mjolnir. Old Man Phoenix (Logan) fights beside Ka-Zar, the latest Herald of Galactus to have the Power Cosmic. The 1M BC caveman Moon Knight is there with Mariama Spector, the Moon Knight of Earth-818, and the 818 Vision. Our Sub-Mariner uses his fists alongside the magics of Avenger Prime and Agamotto of the 1M BC Av. Our Iron Man, Nighthawk and Phoenix (Maya Lopez) fight Dooms with the 1M BC Iron Fist. Like all the others Valkyrie echoes "Avengers Assemble" with Ant-Man (Tony Stark-818), Star Panther and the Steve Rogers who is Weapon America. Gorilla-Man and Ursa Major fight Dooms to seek redemption for past sins. Meanwhile the Deathlok Celestial fires an extremely big gun at giant Mephisto, blasting his guts open. Mephisto shows how hard he is by eating his own innards and charging his foe.Loki has Doom Supreme in mystic chains and Namor wants to beat him up. But the sorcerer Doom breaks free and tells them that their efforts are for nothing because the conflict has cracked the floor of the God Quarry and the power beneath it is breaking out. This power has now attracted Dark Phoenix, another survivor of the MMOE. But she is more concerned with vengeance against Doom for abandoning her. She threatens to tear out his lying tongue. So he removes his mask and kisses her to give her the chance, but responds to his kiss.The Earth-616 heroes Starbrand (Brandy Selby) and Ghost Rider/All-Rider (Robbie Reyes) sit at the base of the ruined Avengers Tower and watch the carnage. Brandy has been rapidly aged from a baby to an old woman by the use of the Starbrand power, and using it again will kill her. In #11 GR/AR seemed to use up all his power trying to destroy the MMOE. But now Robbie says the power is still within him but as he evolved from GR to the mythical AR there seemed to be less and less of Robbie Reyes left. He fears that if he becomes All-Rider again he himself will disappear. But they believe that like all the legacy powers (eg Black Panther, Iron Fist and Moon Knight) their presence is necessary for victory to be achieved. So they decide to step up to the plate, starting with incinerating a bunch of Dooms.Old Man Phoenix realises that the whole point of this war was to break open the God Quarry. Maya-Phoenix senses another Phoenix nearby. Dark Phoenix declares her intent to kill them both and Thor-616. But Lady Phoenix (who we saw in Av#63 approaching Earth-616 in 1M BC) has followed them all through time and the multiverse and now blasts DP to protect her 'son'. The Thunder God is now completely reconciled to the part she played in his birth, and they join Mjolnir with Phoenix Fire against Dark Phoenix.Now Mephisto pauses in his hand to hand combat with the Celestial as he sees what lies below start to leak through the God Quarry ground. (I don't know if the panels on this page are supposed to indicate that Mjolnir + Phoenix Fire punched Dark Phoenix through the floor of the Quarry and caused the final breach.) He reaches out to a drop of it and becomes even larger and more monstrous. He looms over Galactus and the dead/dying Doom Planet and smashes his fists down on that DP causing a big hole in the Quarry floor.The voiceover says that the Quarry is a dam holding back Entropy (which Old Man Phoenix calls the remains of an ancient multiverse) and that Mephisto's plan was never to rewrite the multiverse but to destroy it.

The lords of Earthly vengeance Part 3: We who are about to avenge
Previously Ghost Rider (Robbie Reyes) and 1 of the Deathloks sent to Earth-616 by the Avenger Prime were teleported to Earth-818, a wasteland ruled by Black Skull of the Multiversal Masters Of Evil. They were captured and tortured but at the end of last issue Ant-Man (Tony Stark) of Earth-818 came to their rescue.Now we back-track a bit to Ant-Man and his gang, who we now learn are the Infinity Thing, a female Moon Knight (Mariama Spector), Vision and Wonder Man. Vision is a half-completed robot that Tony patched together when he was a kid. Simon Williams was 1 of the irradiated super-gladiators who fought to the death in the only films made in this world. He became their biggest star as the gray-skinned Wonder Man and then escaped. Ben Grimm went into space in search of a weapon to save the world and came back as the crystalline Infinity Thing who makes cryptic remarks like "The door is opening. It is time.". We don't learn much about Moon Knight yet. They all agree to the rescue, and Stark takes a last slug of booze before leading them out.Now Ant-Man has enlarged to human size in the dungeon cell but learns that the 2 captives don't want to be rescued. GR has already lost a foot but says he has unfinished business. The DL says that the Rider won't run from his destiny. But in turn he asks Stark if he's an ant or an Avenger. Tony doesn't recognise the term but gets in touch with his team to update them on the situation. He relays that the duo have a plan, and that strangely they trust him after he said he was Tony Stark. Then they are attacked by Venom tendrils.Outside the fortress guarded by Black Skull's War Machines the other 4 heroes are hiding shrunk by Stark Particles for half an hour. Wonder Man tells the others to go complete the rescue while he deals with the WMs. He turns ionic and then zooms around at mini-size zapping himself through WM brains or other vital organs. The levitating Thing opts to join in. He repeats his catch phrase adding "Infinity calls" and "Now is the time of the clobbering". He turns into a still-mini atomic sort of thing which has weird effects on nearby WMs, such as spaghettifying or crumbling into cubes.Black Skull, Johann Shmidt inside a Venom symbiote. has entered the cell to find out what's going on. Ant-Man shrinks to atom size to escape his notice.Mini Moon Knight and Vision have infiltrated the fortress. They learn from Stark's Iron Ant Shellhead that he shrunk out of communication 'range'. Vision detects a large energy source and the duo head to investigate it. On the way MK asks Viz why he never made Tony complete him. The android replies that he feared that becoming more human-like might give him the worst aspects of humanity.Outside Thing and Wonder Man are still destroying War Machines. Wondy is enjoying himself.  Infinity Thing adds more cryptic statements:- "Infinity must be guarded. The tower must stand. All must be assembled."Mini Vision phases into the energy room and MK joins him her own way. The room is full of War Machine technicians, which makes it a bad time for the Stark Particles to wear off and make them full-size and visible. Mariama Spector declares that the Fist Of Khonshu is here for vengeance and attacks with gun, sword and acrobatics. Vision just calmly blasts away with the solar jewel on his forehead.Black Skull is ranting as he attacks Ghost Rider and Deathlok. He claims to be in control of the Venom symbiote but when he lets rip with it, it shows that it is still not tamed and tries to kill Robbie Reyes. BS beats it back into submission, declaring that RR won't die until he's revealed the identity of Avenger Prime (which Robbie of course doesn't know). Meanwhile atom-Ant-Man has positioned himself and suddenly grows from there to really giant-size, punching Skull through the castle wall on the way.GR has hitched a ride on AM's shoulder and DL is riding Shellhead. We now learn the secret plan. Last issue DL wired himself into GR's nervous system and *he* has since been enduring the pain BS has been causing GR, leaving the Rider free to strike back. Skull is firing pieces of Venom as spikes, but Ghost Rider plucks out the ones that have pierced his body and melts them into a hellfire chain. He claims that the symbiote is a vehicle which Shmidt is riding. But Robbie is now the All-Rider and *all* vehicles are his to control. With that he rips the symbiote from Skull's body.Thing and Wonder Man are also now full size and still fighting. GR suddenly joins them in his Hell Charger with Ant-Man (and probably Deathlok) as passengers and dragging the Skull behind them.Moony and Viz have dealt with *their* War Machines and now face the energy source. Vision realises it is an array of portals to other realities. And then other versions of the Skull step through swearing vengeance.

The lords of Earthly vengeance Part 1: Where 'hope' is a four-letter word
There is an Avengers Tower in the God Quarry at infinity's end and from there the Avenger Prime directs his cybernetic army of Deathloks to protect the multiverse. During Avengers #50 1 of these Deathloks appeared on Earth-616 to warn our Avengers about Doom Supreme and his Multiversal Masters Of Evil. But he and Ghost Rider (Robbie Reyes), who he named as an Omni-Avenger, were teleported to Earth-818 which has been devastated by the MMOE and is currently ruled by their member Black Skull and his War Machines.We begin on E-818 in 1MBC. In Av#50 we saw this Earth and time's Avengers slaughtered by the Masters. Now dying Odin reaches out to Mjolnir and casts a spell on it. We see that its inscription now reads "Whosoever holds this hammer, if they be worthy, shall possess the power of All-Vengeance".In present-day E-818 we see a masked Ant-Man with apparently a metal left foot who describes himself in his inner monologue as Earth's 1st and last living archaeologist. He's being chased underground by Black Skull's Venom Ants and he calls out to his bodyguard Shellhead for rescue. He manages to escape through a small hole to the surface and expands to human size. When he opens his helmet we find that he's Tony Stark, and his size-changing is due to what he calls Stark Particles.The Venom Ants follow and attack with black web lines. But Shellhead arrives, a large ant in red & gold armour, and he's carrying a large head. Stark draws a gun and the head shrinks to attach to it. Tony's monologue informs us that it's the head of a Space God he found at the North Pole (ie the Progenitor Celestial that E-616's Avengers use as an HQ). He calls it his Knowhere Gun and uses it to blasts the Venom Ants.Now Ant-Man shrinks to ride the Iron Ant deep underground to where he's detected another powerful object - Mjolnir. He becomes full size again and tries to lift it. As you'd expect he fails, but then briefly succeeds and it emits a burst of energy. And then he falls backwards with it crushing his chest, but he manages to shrink out from under it. Tony has a drink and then shrinks the hammer and some ground beneath it so that Iron Ant can pick it all up and they fly away.Outside there are War Machines waiting. Stark's monologue tells us that he was once caught looting the tomb of the Fist Of Khonshu, and the Wastelord Black Skull had him tortured until Stark agreed to make weapons for him - including the War Machine armour. But this time the WMs get a call to attend a higher priority problem.Next we see some other War Machines fleeing from Ghost Rider in his Hell Charger. His Hellfire chains pluck them out of the sky 1-by-1. He's accompanied by the Deathlok and they're attacking a Crematrain. Deathlok thinks Robbie is the greatest GR ever. GR applies his Penance Stare to the WMs as DL opens up the train to reveal lines of chained humans waiting to be used as fuel. Robbie removes the engine from the front of the train and hitches the 8 miles of carriages to the Hell Charger. They leave chased by more War Machines. Ant-Man and Iron Ant watch from a distance as the train is halted by a barricade of chained slaves. They face Black Skull (an alternate Red Skull in a Venom symbiote suit) and more War Machines (including some giant-size versions).AM and IA leave them to it and retreat to Stark's underground base where Shellhead stores Mjolnir with other stuff they've unearthed. Including a cave painting with the symbols we recognises as the signs of the 1MBC Avengers. 1 of which he links to the Ghost Rider he's just seen. Tony explains everything to an audience, and we pan out to see versions of (I think) Thing, Storm, Vision and Wonder Man.Our last port of call is the Superflow between universes where a 'boat' weathers a superstorm caused by all the timelines that the Masters Of Evil have been rewriting. Inside are the 3 Goddesses Of Thunder, and the boat is being towed to their destination by Mjolnir.

The forever storm
Ghost Rider (Robbie Reyes) and 1 of Avenger Prime's Deathloks came to Earth-818 in Avengers #50 and then this series. It is a wasteland ruled by Black Skull of the Multiversal Masters Of Evil whose torturing has turned GR into the more powerful All-Rider. With the help of the few living heroes of this world (Ant-Man (Tony Stark), Infinity Thing (Ben Grimm), Moon Knight (Mariama Spector), Wonder Man and Vision) they defeated the Skull last issue only to see alternate universe variations of him coming through portals from other timelines.At the end of the King Thor mini-series the Goddesses Of Thunder (Atli, Ellisiv and Frigg), the far-future granddaughters of King Thor, were left to protect the survivors on Midgard (Earth) while Thor sailed off to help the rest of the dying cosmos. Now years later a lightning bolt strikes the ground. Atli the warrior drains her mead. Ellisiv stops tending her garden and summons her war goat. 1-eyed Frigg leaves off her diplomacy, and they all rush to the scene where they find that Mjolnir is now floating above the ground. Then they have to fend off a barrage of meteorites which Ellisiv recognises as Phoenix fire which they saw wielded by an old Wolverine (Thor (2018) #5-6). Logan was obliterated there but now they find that 1 of his clawed forearms has landed on Midgard. Ellisiv says she dreams of multiple Mjolnir's crying out, and she believes the threat they are being warned of is something bigger than their own universe. They hitch Mjolnir to their ship and let it pull them out into the multiverse.On Earth-818 our heroes are being overwhelmed by Black Skull variants until the Goddesses' ship crashes through a wall and the trio help them. The All-Rider ends the battle by separating the Skulls from their Venom symbiotes, and then sends both sets back through the portals. But in the aftermath they find that Moon Knight and Vision have disappeared.The 'original' Black Skull and his symbiote are still captive here. GR traps the symbiote in the trunk of his Hell Charger car, and the Skull is chained out in the sun in a wasteland desert. The Goddesses and other heroes set about freeing all BS's prisoners while GR and Wonder Man deal with his War Machine minions. They accomplish it all in 1 night and Earth-818 is free. Then the blood-covered Simon Williams prays to the Goddesses that he never has to kill again. They promise to do all they can to make it come true (although Atli can't understand why anyone would want that), and WM walks off into the sunrise.Tony Stark takes the Goddesses to the million year old Mjolnir he dug up, and another fiery Wolverine forearm that fell to Earth recently. Frigg figures that the Mjolnirs in different universes talk to each other. They take the Logan-fragment with them, reasoning that the hammers want them to reassemble the Phoenix. Then they leave on their ship with 2 Mjolnirs to guide/pull them. But they leave Asgardian seeds to reclaim the wasteland and rain to nourish them.Ghost Rider and Deathlok plan to move on to save other Earths. Ant-Man (and his Iron Ant) will accompany them, leaving Infinity Thing and Wonder Man to look after this world.Meanwhile we learn that Moon Knight and Vision have been transported to the Centre Of Infinity where they are welcomed to join the army of Avenger Prime. Their greeters are (versions of) Captain Peggy Carter (sporting the UK flag as in her just-begun series), Hawkeye (looking like the Longbow version from Morgan Le Fay's reality in Avengers (1998) #2-3) and War Widow (Black Widow in War Machine armour as in Av#28 of the current series).

The pillars, part 4: Semper Carol
Carol Danvers sees dream-visions of herself capturing a Hydra blimp, riding a pterodactyl, being an astronaut and being the Captain Marvel we know. In all these visions she flies. But this Carol is kept on the ground by an enormous ball and chain as she does her job as 1 of the 'dogs' who gather up the birds that the Lords and Ladies (many of whom are anthropomorphic animals) of the Hellfire Church  shoot down every Sunday. This alternate world is ruled by Dark Phoenix of the Multiversal Masters Of Evil who has decreed that nothing should be allowed to fly apart from herself.A crocodile Lord kicks Carol into the mud for not gathering up his kills quickly enough. Enraged she turns on him but the other Church members gang up on her and throw her into the pit she calls home. She remembers how as a teen she built wings and flew. She was quickly shot down and 'rewarded' with the ball and chain. Now every night she tries in vain to leap free of it.Another day she finds some chicks and smuggles them home. She feeds them her gruel and tries to keep them quiet. Then days later they fly into the air. The local Church bunch prepare to shoot them but Carol launches herself at them all, wielding her ball as a weapon. 1 fires a musket at her but the bullet shatters the shackle round her neck and she's free of the ball. And she leaps into the air and flies away following her birds. That night she launches a reign of terror on the Church members, swooping down to take each into the sky and then drop them.Then she flies higher into the sky and is picked up by a load of versions of herself like those she saw in her dreams, who occupy a flying Omni-Carrier. They welcome her into the multiversal Carol Corps. And alongside them flies Ghost Rider's Hell Charger car.

Avengers Assemble part 7: The battle for the All and the Always
Most of the Multiversal Masters Of Evil have been killed in 1M BC on Earth-616. Most of the Mephistos have been driven away from Avengers Tower in the extra-dimensional God Quarry. Now Avenger Prime (an alternate Loki) has brought the regular Avengers plus what's left of the 1M BC Avengers from Earth-616 to the Quarry (in Av#65) to help the Multiversal Avengers fight of the invasion of alternate Dr Dooms led by Doom Supreme of the MMOE.The voiceover for this issue is a letter written during a lull in the battle (between Av#65 and this issue, but he seems to keep writing it while fighting the Dooms) by 1 of the multiversal Steves, alternates of Captain America. Last issue Doom The Living Planet knocked the Tower down, and now we see Iron Man and Phoenix searching through the rubble. They've obviously rescued Robbie Reyes (the currently powerless Ghost Rider/All Rider) who was in the Tower when it fell because we see him embracing/being supported by Captain America and Ant-Man (Tony Stark of Earth-818).Then the Dooms attack again and Captain Carter leads the Howling Commandos (all the alternate versions of Steve Rogers) and the Carol Corps (all the alternate versions of Carol Danvers) against them, while Loki and Agamotto of the 1M BC Avengers engage Doom Supreme in sorcerous conflict. There are casualties on both sides. We see Carols and Steves die. We see Valkyrie slaughter Dooms with several Mjolnirs on the end of chains. And 1 of the Steves uses a Mjolnir to that effect too.The Goddesses Of Thunder spent previous issues collecting the hammers from various realities where the MMOE had killed Thor, and they arrived in #12 in an Asgardian starship (looking as usual like a Viking longboat) towed by the chained hammers. Last issue they killed many Mephistos by dropping the Mjolnirs on them. And we saw 1 of the Steves successfully pick 1 up because it deemed him worthy, as Cap-616 has been known to do before. That Steve was the scrawny, bespectacled artist who was the POV of the 'training session' of Steves we saw in #7. And it is he whose letter we are hearing even as he bashes Dooms. We also see the chubby Steve and the dog Steve from that issue in the fray. And even Cap-616 takes orders from Peggy Carter.Elsewhere Ant-Man (Tony Stark-818) fights alongside Iron Man (Tony Stark-616) and they exchange banter. The Asgardians Odin (from 1M BC), Thor and the 3 future Goddesses Of Thunder join forces to defeat some of the more powerful Dooms. Old Man Phoenix (a future Logan/Wolverine) leads the current Phoenix avatar (Maya Lopez) against Planet Doom who spews molten lava on the defenders. Star Panther joins them and blasts a tunnel through the planetoid. Mjolnir-bearing Steve saves chubby Steve from a Doom and then collapses from his many wounds. Chubby carries him in search of a medic but speccy Steve tells him to take over the hammer. Chubby says he can't pick it up because he's not worthy, but speccy points out that he's already carrying it lying on his chest.Doom Supreme tore out Agamotto's eyes in the Avengers Assemble Alpha 1-shot but the wizard still uses his pineal eye to see with. Now DS kills him by turning the air in his lungs to acid while Loki watches. But it is Sub-Mariner who leaps in to punch the foe in revenge. Namor suspects that Loki is no true Avenger and will turn on them when the battle is over. But he says that *he* isn't a true Avenger either, so if that happens he won't hesitate to kill him. Then they both have to face the returned head Doom.The 2 Phoenixes dive into the hole Star Panther made in Planet Doom in order to destroy more of his innards, which unleashes another torrent of lava. Which engulfs the spot where Doom Supreme, Loki and Namor are fighting. We also see the 2 Steves stuck on a rock amid the flow. Speccy Steve hands chubby Steve the letter he's been writing and asks him to deliver it. Except it's just addressed to 'to whom it may concern'. Steve had nobody and had hoped to meet someone before he died. Which he does now and lets the hammer fall. Dooms rise out of the molten lava but chubby Steve lays into them with the Mjolnir.Meanwhile Captain Marvel (CD-616), Nighthawk and Thor, God Of Fists are exploring the caverns that Ant-Man, Moon Knight (Mariama Spector) and Vision-818 found full of burrowing Mephistos (#12). They now appear deserted but the tro find 1 who claims that Mephisto-616 has betrayed the Council Of Red (of alternate Mephistos) and he begs them not to let him take him. Then an enormous red foot stomps down and the little Mephisto is absorbed into it. They look up to see a giant Mephisto who welcomes them to the end of everything.

The lords of Earthly vengeance Part 2: The All-Rider
In Avengers #50 some Deathloks appeared on Earth-616 to warn the team about the Multiversal Masters Of Evil. 1 of the Deathloks declared Ghost Rider (Robbie Reyes) to be an Omni-Avenger and they were both transported to Earth-818 ruled by Black Skull of the MMOE and his War Machines. In our 1st issue we met Tony Stark, the Ant-Man of this world, who watched the duo get captured after weeks(?) of battling the enemy forces.Black Skull is torturing Ghost Rider in his dungeon, and Robbie Reyes has forgotten how long it's been. BS claims to have killed many GRs and knows how to do it painfully. But as the villain's Venom symbiote tendrils worm their way through his body and the Skull slowly saws a foot off, this GR remains silent. BS compares GR to himself. As the Skull merged with his symbiote so Robbie became 1 with his Hell Charger car. Johann Schmidt had marvelled at the way the duo ploughed through his War Machines.But now he has the foot off and tosses it to a WM minion to be flown into the Sun. However instead it burns the War Machine to death. At this point GR breaks free of the Venom tendrils. But Black Skull just smashes him down with a huge Venom fist. He asks GR where in the multiverse he came from, and who sent him here, but GR just spits hellfire in his eye. So BS forms 2 giant fists covered in spikes and slams them shut around his victim's body. GR uses his rage to survive it all.We take time out to see that the Skull's castle is surrounded by an idyllic town, separated from the wasteland that is the rest of the world by a barbed wire fence. But all the people living in the utopia, even children, have a Hydra tattoo.WM guards drag GR back to the cell where the Deathlok is chained up. DL comments that it's taken BS 8 days to get the 1 foot off. He also reminds Robbie Reyes that he's got to keep control and awake and never revert to his human self else he'll die instantly. On the other hand the longer he stays as Ghost Rider the less human he'll become. DL also says that Robbie is unlike any of the Spirit Of Vengeance GRs he's met across the multiverse, and he has a destiny. He also comments on the large number of cockroaches in the cell.In the next torture session Black Skull drives stakes through the eyesockets of GR's skull. In response Ghost Rider screams hellfire which knocks the villain back, and vomits chains which crush the attendant War Machines. But then BS invades his mind and tries to get GR to tell him his human name. Instead Robbie summons his Hell Charger which was chained down elsewhere. It breaks free, smashes through walls and comes to the rescue.At that point Ghost Goblin, another member of the Multiversal Masters Of Evil, drops in having been just passing by this universe. He collects GR heads and stores them in his bag for use as hellfire bombs, and he wants this 1 to add to his collection. BS shows him the Hell Charger they've subdued again, and describes how vicious it is. GG agrees that he's never seen such a GR ride before - motorbikes and horses yes, and even a shark, but no cars. He also comments that this GR isn't from the Blaze/Ketch/Kale bloodlines and doesn't seem to have the usual taint of Mephisto. And the heads in his sack start chanting "All hail the All-Rider".Back in his cell with DL his companion keeps him awake and sane by telling him about his life on Earth-616. He also mentions a prophecy whispered by the dead gods in the God Quarry about a Ghost Rider unlike any other.Another day BS *doesn't* torture GR but lets him hear screams. When he investigates he sees Robbie Reyes from all over the multiverse, none of whom became a Ghost Rider. BS has tortured *them* and then told them to kill each other, with the promise that the last man standing will get to go home. GR/Robbie can't stand it and when he comes back to his senses *he* is the only 1 left.Back in their cell again Deathlok realises that Ghost Rider is now broken. In the next torture session he'll tell Black Skull everything. DL pulls some wires out of his own body and connects himself to GR. It seems he's going to push GR into becoming the All-Rider, the multiversal Spirit Of Vengeance. But before that he tries to crush some of the cockroaches crawling over GR's body ...... and the voice of tiny Ant-Man tells him to stop it. This is the rescue party.

Avengers Assemble part 3: The siege of Infinity Tower
In the Avengers Assemble Alpha 1-shot Avenger Prime left Avengers Tower in the God Quarry to see the current Earth-616 Avengers and the 1M BC Avengers fight each other and then the Multiversal Masters Of Evil. But the Red Council of alternate-universe Mephistos seemed to kill him and use his portal to invade the God Quarry.Now they attack the Tower but they are met by Captain Carter leading the Howling Commandos, an assembly of alternate Steve Rogers as Captain Americas. They include Weapon America and the other Steves we met in #7, 1 of them a dog. Flying Mephistos show up to be opposed by the Carol Corps from #9. Then a giant Mephisto gets taken down by Thor, God Of Fists from #8. And another couple by Star Panther from #6.Inside the Tower the Ant-Man (Tony Stark) of Earth-818 has been reunited with Vision and Moon Knight (Mariama Spector) from the same Earth. In AA Alpha he arrived with Robbie Reyes in the Hell Charger car. Robbie had evolved from Ghost Rider to the mythical All-Rider but has now lost all his power after trying to single-handedly defeat the MMOE last issue.Vision explains that the God Quarry is the graveyard of dead Gods and it lies on the border between the 1st Firmament and all later universes. But Stark is more interested in the ant-farm he sees among the historical Avengers displays in the Tower.Soon he and the other 2 are shrunk down to ride ants into the bowels of the Quarry, intending to resurface behind the Mephistos and take out their leaders. Instead they find more Mephistos digging down into the Quarry. Vision realises that they intend to break through to the 1st Firmament, and from there they could conquer all later universes including the current multiverse.Our 3 heroes' only option is to attack but they're vastly outnumbered. 1 demon grabs the now-sober Tony Stark and tries to force booze down his throat while another stabs him in the back with a broken bottle. Moon Knight is having more success but tells Vizh to get Ant-Man to safety. He's the only Tony Stark they have to represent that pillar of the Avengers. But help is at hand. The 3 Goddesses Of Thunder arrive with Old Man Phoenix (Logan/Wolverine). (We last saw the Goddesses in #4 where they found Phoenix Logan's arms and set out to reassemble the rest of him.)

The pillars, part 3: The fists of the unworthy
On Earth 56337 Thor has climbed a Himalayan mountain from which no-one has ever returned. He was hoping to escape Mjolnir but it still finds him. This Thor can't lift the hammer because he's unworthy. He failed to stop the Multiversal Masters Of Evil from destroying Asgard and taking over Midgard. The Asgardian immortal has became a homeless drifter but Mjolnir keeps following him around as if to mock him.The no longer God Of Thunder tries to smash the hammer with his fists but only damages himself. he's interrupted by Lei-Kung The Thunderer, guardian of K'un-Lun, who takes him there through a mystic portal. But the MMOE came even here and killed everyone bar himself. The only structure that still endures is the door leading to the dragon Shou-Lao, the source of the power of the Iron Fist. The Thunderer offers to train the ex-Thunderer in punching better, which Thor interprets as training to become the next Iron Fist.Day and night Thor pummels Mjolnir, but the Uru metal cannot be broken and instead breaks the bones in the god's hands. But the wounds heal and after 30 days the hammer starts to dodge the blows as if it's beginning to feel them. Which only encourages Thor to try harder. Then Mjolnir responds by attacking with thunder and lightning. Lei-Kung goads Thor to punch the storm. And the hammer falls tamed. But Thor declines to pick it up.This pleases Lei-Kung who now thinks Thor worthy of fighting *him* rather than a simple hammer. He is the guardian of Shou-Lao so the Asgardian must get through *him*. They exchange blows until a mighty punch sends the guardian flying through the air to break down the door he was guarding. Lei-Kung describes that as the perfect punch which it was an honour to receive.They enter the cavern to find the bones of the dragon. Lei-Kung had misled him, there is no longer an Iron Fist power to claim. Instead he has trained the ex-God Of Thunder to be the God Of Fists. Mjolnir is still floating nearby and gives a little crackle of lightning. Thor says it can accompany him if he likes.And then Ghost Rider and Ant-Man turn up in the Hell Charger and invite him to join their multiversal team.

The pillars, conclusion: Last ride
Robbie Reyes, the Ghost Rider/All-Rider from Earth-616, Tony Stark, the Ant-Man from Earth-818 and 1 of Avenger Prime's Deathlok army have been collecting Avengers from various timelines to oppose the Multiversal Masters Of Evil who are conquering other Earths (and universes) in alliance with Mephisto of Earth-616 and his multiversal equivalents by murdering each Earth's original 1M BC Avengers.This issue starts with a Nick Fury looking like Captain America (or maybe US Agent) opposing the Goblin Corps in their helicarriers on an Earth conquered by MMOE's Ghost Goblin (a Norman Osborn). Suddenly he's joined by our Deathlok plus Ant-Man who fires a gun at some of the Corps which reduces them to insect size so Fury can stamp on them. And then he sees the All-Rider on his Hell Charger car destroying the helicarriers.The Deathlok tells Tony that he's got word from Avenger Prime in Avengers Tower at Infinity's End that the time has come for them to bring the Avenger army they've raised to the Tower. But DL fears they still haven't got enough. Stark says they've got the All-Rider. DL's voiceover tells us that every night he tries to remind Robbie who he is and that he's fighting to protect his young brother Gabe. But every night he senses Robbie Reyes slipping further away. And when AR opens the boot of his car we see the ghosts of other Spirits Of Vengeance (maybe only the ghosts of many Earth's original Ghost Riders from 1M BC) crying out for revenge. DL says that Avenger Prime can help him, but All-Rider says he's not going with them and he drives off.Now we see the MMOE killing another bunch of 1M BC Avengers. Doom Supreme says there's only 1 more set they need to kill, on Earth-616. Suddenly Black Skull's Venom symbiote abandons him and attacks King Killmonger in his Destroyer armour. Hell Charger tells them it's a Ghost Rider they face as it runs over Kid Thanos and Dark Phoenix's Wolverine-Hound, and the drags DP herself off in chains. Ghost Goblin then recognises All-Rider as the GR who killed an army of Black Skulls on Earth-818 (#1-4). But GG has killed many GRs and uses their heads as bombs. But when he throws some of them at his foe they acknowledge Robbie as the All-Rider and turn on their master and blow him up.Now only Doom Supreme is left who greets the All-Rider as what he's been searching the worlds for - a challenge. AR attacks with chains and fists and his Penance Stare. But Doom fights back with his own might and magic. AR increases his stare and feels Robbie dying inside him. But it's worth it to end the MMOE, to frustrate Mephisto's plans, to save Infinity and to save Gabe.But then Deathlok and Ant-Man turn up (Avenger Prime's DLs can do time and interdimensional travel) as DL is determined to save Robbie. Stark uses his shrink ray on Doom, but Doom resists being sent all the way to the microverse. Then the Hell Charger is thrown at them as a victorious Dark Phoenix returns. The All-Rider is now a blazing skeleton but then reverts to Robbie Reyes. DL tells AM to take Robbie and escape in Hell Charger. They reluctantly do so as the cyborg guards their backs. But as they leave a green laser blast (probably from Ghost Goblin) pierces Deathlok's brain. The MMOE are back, and Doom is regrowing.

The avenging Part 1
It's yet another multiversal Earth, this 1 designated 5478, and the Multiversal Masters Of Evil have arrived to destroy another version of Avengers 1MBC. All-Mother Odin hurls lightning at Doom Supreme which his force-shield withstands. Dark Phoenix, King Killmonger in his Destroyer armour and Kid Thanos with a big gun blast her to death. A female Black Panther, both Vibranium Queen and Iron Fist, tries to wield Mjolnir but is destroyed by the Ghost Goblin's bombs made of Ghost Rider skulls. The caveman Phoenix reaches for the hammer but DP's Hound Wolverine decapitates him. Lady Agamotto, Sorceress Supreme falls to Black Skull's Venom symbiote. Startooth, the sabretooth Starbrand, seems to go the same way. And Ghost Rider, riding what looks like a giant rhineceros, is burned by Dark Phoenix. The MMOE gloat and leave.But Mjolnir survives deep in the Earth. And someday someone worthy will take him and claim vengeance.Mjolnir delivers a voiceover for the whole issue. It claims to explain how killing this Earth's earliest heroes will prevent the rise of all future ones. Without Odin and her unborn daughter Thor all Earth's pantheons will war amongst each other until there are no gods left. The Panther/Iron Fist's death prevents Wakanda and K'un-Lun from rising/surviving. Without the Phoenix there will be no mutants. Without Agamotto there will be no magic, and for some reason no radioactive spider to bite Spider-Man and also humankind will never fly or reach space. Without the Starbrand the Celestials and other aliens won't visit Earth. Without Ghost Rider to maintain the balance between Heaven and Hell all humans will be damned.

The avenging Part 3
The Multiversal Masters Of Evil killed the 1 Million BC Avengers of Earth-5478 but they left behind Odin's buried hammer Mjolnir. Last issue Horus the blind miner found it and was deemed worthy to be Thor. He rose from the deep mines where he'd lived all his life into the mythical sky. But there he was attacked by the MMOE's Ghost Goblin who rules this world.Even as they battle in the sky Mjolnir explains to Horus/Thor why he was chosen to save this world. GG wants to know where Thor came from because he stopped the rise of superheroes back in the Stone Age. Thor shows him the power of the hammer he forgot about. Goblin throws some bombs (made from the skulls of Ghost Riders) at him. They cause some of the upper-world folk (who worship the Goblin as a god and wear the gems Horus and his kind mine as ornaments) to fall from a balcony. Blind Thor uses the senses that allow him to find such gems to locate their falling bodies and scoop them from the air to deposit them safely on the ground.Then it's back to the sky for round 2. Ghost Goblin now realises that Thor must be a miner from down below, out of his element in the sky. But Thor drops Mjolnir on the Goblin Glider, and all 4 plummet to the ground and deep into the dark where he's more at home. There GG can't see what's happening as the hammer flies around pummelling him. And then Thor bursts up from the debris of their fall and starts hitting him with Mjolnir. But Goblin emits a blast of Hellfire which propels the hero back up to the surface.Now GG on his Glider drags Thor and Mjolnir separately into the sky on Hellfire chains. Horus fears that he has lost the fight and now the Goblin will take the hammer and destroy it, or possibly use it. Mjolnir tells him what he must do. Thor grabs Mjolnir and hurls it out into space. As he falls to his death on the ground he hears Mjolnir say he will be avenged.Out in space we are told that it will take more than the power of Thor to save this world. It will take the power of *all* the Thors. As we see the hammer meet another Mjolnir.

The avenging Part 4
Previously:- On Earth-5478 the Multiversal Masters Of Evil killed the 1 Million BC Avengers (as they do on others Earths), preventing all (or most of) the future superheroes. This time they left Odin's hammer Mjolnir intact. Ghost Goblin of the MMOE rules this transformed Earth. In the present a (very) deep miner named Horus found Mjolnir and was deemed worthy to be Thor. But GG defeated the neophyte hero who fell from the sky to his death back in the deep mines. But not before sending Mjolnir out into space where it met another Mjolnir.Now the denizens of the underslums hold a funeral for Horus as deep as they can go. Normally the body would be placed in a stone boat and set adrift on a lava flow. But they have no body for Horus whose fall was so far that it left him but a smear on the ground. The mourners can't understand how a deep miner got up into the sky. Some say he found a weird gem which changed him.Then a hooded mourner claims it was a hammer. The others are suspicious of this woman who seems to be 1 of the surface-dwelling highborn. She lowers her hood and claims to be from further away than that. She's come to pay her respects to a fallen son of thunder. And she'll make them a promise which they'll know when they hear it.And she bursts out of the deeps on her war-goat for she is Atli, 1 of the Goddesses Of Thunder. She summons thunder and lightning and a rain which brings abundant water all the way down to the deep mines. She joins her sisters Ellisiv and Frigg on their flying ship. They seek vengeance on the Ghost Goblin but he has slipped away to another of his multiversal holdings.The Mjolnir of their grandfather King Thor (of an alternate future) led them to this Earth (so presumably that was the hammer this world's Mjolnir met last issue). Ellisiv bemoans the fact that they keep coming to worlds that have already been ruined by the MMOE. Frigg says the point of this quest seems to be to collect Mjolnirs. She believes they're building an army, and that they're not the only ones.Now we jump to the gulf between universes where Ghost Rider (Robbie Reyes) is driving his Hell Charger car. On board are Ant-Man/Tony Stark of Earth-818 and a Deathlok. Tony has just been told that there are versions of him on other Earths that aren't Ant-Man. Deathlok says that he exists on most Earths - he's 1 of the pillars of existence, an Omni-Avenger. Tony wonders if some of them might be rich. DL avoids that by saying that every Tony Stark is unique, as is every T'Challa, Thor Odinson and Carol Danvers. But they all share a need to end this multiversal conflict, the battle for Infinity's End. Robbie, now evolved into the All-Rider, just concentrates on driving the car, especially when they're plunged into a multiversal storm.Meanwhile in the tower at Infinity's End in the God Quarry the Avenger Prime is talking to Captain (Peggy) Carter. AP lists the troops we've seen above which CC doesn't think is enough. He agrees that they'll have to recruit more, all the Avengers in the multiverse, before the enemy lays siege to the Quarry. They'll need more hammers, more Riders, more Starks, more pillars, and more of the spirit of defiance that inspired all Avengers.And we see the underclass of Earth-5478 rising up from the deep mines to assault the towers of the surface-dwelling elite.

The avenging Part 2
We're now in the present day of Earth-5478 where humanity has survived and progressed without the presence of superbeings, including none of the pantheons of gods Earth-616 has. But the population  is divided into the rich who live on the surface in gleaming towers and the poor workers who live underground with everything including water in short supply. They delve for resources for the outer world, and in return get their waste to bury.Our miner hero Horus has never seen the sky and thinks it's probably a myth. Like his father who died at the 'ripe old age' of 43 he works at the deepest level digging for precious stones for the rich to ornament themselves with. His life in the dark has caused his eyes to atrophy so he's blind but can 'smell' the stones.His latest exploration has led to a large diamond in a rock layer which he reckons is a million years old, but he's also triggered a cave-in which he survives but may be trapped. However he senses something else that has been partially uncovered by the rockfall. So he digs it out and grabs the handle of a large hammer (which is of course Mjolnir we saw buried last issue). As his comrades higher up prepare to come down to rescue him Horus feels a change coming over him as he lifts the hammer. There's a sound of thunder and then he blacks out.Next thing he knows he's in a new environment. He can taste clean air and feel a cool breeze. And he realises he's flying. People in the towers look up in the sky and point to the flying caped man who they of course don't recognise as Thor. He's trailed by lightning and surprised by a fall of rain.And then Ghost Goblin of the Multiversal Masters Of Evil comes to arrest him on his Goblin Glider.

Case Number 004: Who is Victor Shade?
Last issue ended with villain group Death-Throws discussing the murder of 1 of their own, Oddball, by Scourge and deciding to bring the case to Avengers Incorporated.Now this issue starts with a flashback to Orville Bock contacting the group's leader Ringleader to apologise for missing a meeting because he was being followed by Moon Knight and had to shake him off. He didn't want MK to throw him off another roof (apparently that happened in MK(2021)#1). Then we see a jet-powered ant saying "Justice is served" before boring a hole in the villain's forehead. Cops find the body and add it to the ongoing tally, including the bunch of costumed crooks killed in the Raft prison (in #1). As usual there are no clues, and as usual the detectives intend to give it lowest priority, despite superhero Luke Cage being the current Mayor. They leave the body for the specialist Cape Coroner Dr Henry Bradley ...... who turns up with an assistant Eric and the Coroner's ambulance. The cop on guard asks what will happen after the autopsy. Bradley says he'll send his results to the Precinct but he guesses it'll be the same as the others - 1 shot to the head but no bullet recovered. He claims to still not know what kind of 'magic' bullet Scourge is using, and his assistant suppresses a laugh. The cop says he meant what will happen to the body, but Bradley replies that villains like this usually don't have any relatives who want to claim them.Of course the Coroner is really Henry Pym (ex-Ant-Man) and his assistant is the Eric O'Grady LMD (Black Ant). Oddball wakes in their lair to be told that he'd been shot by ant-nanotech from the future which made him seem dead. Henry further explains that the same nanotech won't let Oddball attack him. If he doesn't play ball then it will also wipe out at least 6 months memory and he'll be let loose for the Cops to arrest. Henry's done that twice before and successfully claimed that someone forged the autopsy report that declared the villain dead. But many others have accepted the offer to join his Lethal Legion. After they've succeeded in what he wants them to do they'll be given fresh identities to use as they please. And we see several other minor villains behind him.Rolling forward a bit to the present we find Ringleader (Charles Last) meeting Wasp, Victor Shade and Edwin Jarvis in the Jarvis Lounge HQ of Avengers Inc. He points out that New York superheroes are currently in the same boat as supervillains in that they're both banned unless officially sanctioned. But he'll claim if necessary to be merely on the way to a costume party.Meanwhile he comes to the point by accusing Vic Shade of breaking the rules of the criminal jugglers' workers' co-operative. Whirlwind had claimed that the buzz-saws he could project made him a candidate, and asked the Death-Throws to get their legal team to get him out of jail. But then he stiffed them by never paying his membership dues. Shade points out that Dave Cannon's body was killed by Scourge but then *he* somehow woke up in it with no memory. Last doesn't believe that but says if they solve Orville's murder then it'll wipe the slate clean. Janet Van Dyne and Shade have been trying to uncover his past by solving the Scourge murders, among others. They haven't got anywhere so far so she agrees to play along.Ringleader tells them how ex-Avenger Moon Knight was known to be after Oddball so our duo go see him. They find Marc Spector in his white-suited and masked Mr Knight aspect. He readily admits to throwing Oddball of a roof but denies shooting him. If he wanted him dead he'd have used his crescent knives. Vic suggests he shot him to disguise that it was him, but MK points out that when he kills someone he *wants* people to know who did it. He also admits to having followed the dead villain, but only to scare him away from the night travellers he was sworn to protect. But Jan points out that when he was killed Orville was running at night, which made him 1 of those night travellers. Spector accepts the logic and joins their quest.The 3 (Spector now in Moon Knight garb) check the murder scene over. MK points out that there's nowhere near enough blood for a head wound. Wasp checks the autopsy report which claims the wound was made by a .22 bullet just like all the other Scourge killings. And she recalls having a similar thought when she examined Whirlwind's body and found no charring round the entry wound and wondered if it was made by something smaller and slower than a bullet, something that wouldn't trigger a security alarm. But at that time WW came back to life as Vic Shade and she forgot about it. Now she thinks about a wasp or flying ant!This makes her suspicious of the autopsy report so they go to the Coroner's address. Jan has an idea who who the man might be so it's not a complete shock when the door is answered by her dead ex-husband Henry Pym. But she doesn't notice Vic behind her recognising him as well. He invites them in but also speaks into his phone telling his Legion that they are not to harm the 3 Avengers. He apologises for not letting Jan know he was back but he wanted to keep her out of it while *he*s out there. 'He' of course is Ultron.Now Pym remembers the events of the 2022 Ant-Man mini-series. How early in his AM career he'd been taken to the future and met other Ant-Men to fight a robot who was also somehow him. He lost his memory of the affair but the memory returned after he merged with Ultron (Avengers: Rage Of Ultron GN) when he relived the event from the other perspective. When Ultron was sent back into the timestream at the end of that series Hank was inspired by the heroism of the Ant-Men to break free and he found himself back in the present. But he remembers all the awful things Ultron did while he was part of him. Jan apologises for not realising he'd been trapped in there all that time.Henry now introduces them to his collection of villains. Wasp only now fully realises that Hank is the new Scourge and he's been faking their deaths to build an army. Vic Shade was an unexpected side-effect but the army is to oppose Ultron who Hank believes has returned with him. He confirms her diagnosis but adds that he didn't involve her or the other Avengers because he wanted to clean up his own mess (he created Ultron after all). And when he was finished he'd disappear into a new life like the rest of his gang.But Jan is worried about him because she sees signs of his old mental instability. Trying to fix everything himself and taking ethical short cuts to do it. Some of the gang are wondering if the gig is falling apart. They haven't found any evidence that Ultron is really here, and now the Avengers have found them. They and Jan don't know if Pym will use his memory wipe process on the heroes.Pym insists that he *knows* Ultron is out there. He can feel him. Victor Shade agrees, but then suddenly phases his fist through Hank's chest. As the body falls he says that he now knows that he himself is Ultron.

Case Number 003: The man who died twice
With the backing of Mayor Luke Cage, Wasp has started Avengers Incorporated to investigate super-murders. Her associate goes by the name Vic Shade, an old alias of the Vision, but has the body of Janet Van Dyne's old (but now dead) foe Whirlwind. He can't remember who he really is but can use Whirlwind's speed power to simulate some of Vision's abilities. And we know (because the preamble tells us) that Jan's dead ex-husband Henry Pym is behind the Victor Shade mystery.This issue begins with a scene which precedes the final scene of last issue. In the Great Hall of Valhalla dead Asgardian warriors carouse. An old man he calls Graybeard tells Skurge (the villainous Executioner who yet earned his place here by a gloriously heroic death) that it's time to turn the body of the great boar Saehrimnir roasting on its spit. Skurge downs his mead and sets off down the hall. But when he gets near the fire his great axe breaks free of the strap that ties it to his back. He makes great play of drawing everyone's attention to how it whirls in the air before it plunges into his chest to kill him. Everyone including the Valkyrie Brunnhilda is shocked that 1 of the dead of Valhalla can die again.At the end of last issue Brunnhilda called Valkyrie Jane Foster to Valhalla to consider the problem.Now Valkyrie (who Wasp and most other Earthlings don't know is Dr Jane Foster, quondam mortal love of Thor) has come to the Jarvis Lounge to consult the detectives. She's explained the situation to Jan who wonders why Val or All-Father Thor don't take the case. Val says that Thor is busy dealing with Frost Giants (and an editorial caption directs us to Immortal Thor #1), and Valkyries aren't detectives or avengers. They *look after* the dead warriors. Vic Shade joins them and comments "Like a doctor?" (does he know more than he's letting on?). Val is shocked because her death-vision shows her a large globe with robotic eyes floating behind his head, but she doesn't say anything about it. Jan accepts the case and Val says she can get them there ...... So we see the trio entering the Great Hall to see a scene of unrestrained fighting. Val explains that any injuries incurred by the warriors, even fatal, will be cured by the next day. Which is what makes Skurge's actual death unusual. But she warns her companions to be careful because if *they* die they'll stay dead (except for the usual Marvel proviso). So Wasp shrinks and grows her wings as the Valkyrie uses her all-weapon Undrjarn to clear a path to Brunnhilde. Someone grabs Vic's shoulder but he makes his fist tough enough to break the Asgardian's nose, which impresses the fellow. And he gets the same flashback memory he had in #1 of a bearded man operating on him and saying that neither of them will remember this, but this time the man adds "I won't be allowed to (remember). But you're my last hope, son.". Confused Vic is almost hit by an axe but Wasp sting-blasts the female wielder.Val reaches Brunnhilde who explains this battle is only incidentally caused by the murder. The Einherjar don't suspect each other of the crime because they know that they never fight in anger, only for the love of battle. But that's *why* they're fighting - to release their tension. Val asks her not to call her Jane Foster while humans are present, so B starts referring to her as New Valkyrie. And she reminds Val about the last human she brought here, this 1 to stay (see Valkyrie: Jane Foster #5) ...... and Grim Reaper leaps forward with his scythe to attack Vic Shade, the being who seems to be the Vision (even with a diamond-shaped hole in his forehead where Vizh has his solar jewel), the 'machine' who 'stole' the mind of Eric Williams' brother Simon (now Wonder Man). Vic holds up a diamond-hard palm to stop him - which the scythe shockingly slices open. Wasp's sting is ineffective and the 2 Valkyries can't get through the brawling crowd. Val(JF) turns Undjarn into a ball and throws it to Vic who catches it and it uses his thoughts to turn into a super-nightstick for him to parry the scythe blade with. And then he starts to beat on the villain. But what stuns Jan is that Vic calls Eric Williams by name. How did he know that?Brunnhilde reaches them and takes charge of GR. Vic hands the All-Weapon back to its owner. And Wasp starts interviewing witnesses (in mid-fight). She asks why Skurge went to turn the roasting meat when she understood that it was always perfectly-cooked anyway? No-one can think of a reason until a female warrior says she heard the old man called Graybeard tell him to do it. No-one knows where he's gone but he must be somewhere around because no-one can leave Valhalla unless the All-Father wishes it. And although there are some here who could enchant the axe and some could use it to strike a killing blow, everyone repeats that no-one here can strike in anger.All the brawling has died down as Jan tells her companions that she thinks she's solved the mystery, but she needs to talk to Odin in private. Private seems to mean only accompanied by Vic and Val. It seems that she accuses Odin of killing Skurge, because he gets very angry. But Jan thinks his rage is false and she ploughs on to explain what she thinks happened. Even Odin couldn't kill Skurge in anger, but he could kill him in cold blood if it was part of a plan that the Executioner agreed to. She remembered that Harbardr (Graybeard) was 1 of Odin's many aliases. Skurge made sure it happened in plain sight of everyone but away from any who might get in the way. And Odin could surely have remotely swung the axe. All that was missing was a motive. And she reasons that Skurge needed to leave Valhalla and as its creator Odin would know of a way.Odin gives in and explains why. When he was the All-Father he could and did allow people to leave whenever he wanted. But now he's dead (and Thor is now All-Father) he can't do it anymore. But he *did* build in a 'back door' which is death by *his* hand. Skurge earned his place in Valhalla by his death holding the bridge at Gjallerbru (Thor #362). But it was Thor who should have died that day, and if you take someone's death then you feel it when it eventually leaves you to go to its original target. Skurge had a dream of Thor facing death. Their fates are intertwined, and he and Odin believe that Skurge is the best chance to save Thor's life. So that's where he's gone.Val asks why he didn't tell her or the other Valkyrior, and she swears to warn him. But Odin says that the very warning may seal his doom - such is often the way of fate. And now that the assembled company know what's going on the plan may fall apart.Odin bids them go, but he gives Janet a 'gift'. Even from Valhalla he can see the workings of fate in the mortal world. He tells her that such an intertwining of threads is happening in *her* life. Vic Shade/Whirlwind is a dead man returned from the dead, and if Odin were to journey into that mystery he would ask if any returned alongside him.This issue also has an epilogue which leads in to next issue. The villain gang Death-Throws read a headline that says 1 of their members Oddball has been killed by Scourge. They want to find out who did it but they're not detectives. But then they see another headline about last issue's case and recognise Wasp's companion as 1 of their reserve members, so they plan to take this case to *them*.

Case Number 005: The prodigal son
Tasked by New York Mayor Luke Cage to investigate some mysterious supervillain deaths, Wasp was surprised when 1 of them (her old foe Whirlwind) came back to life and declared he was now Vic Shade. They continued investigating cases as Avengers Incorporated and last issue were joined by Moon Knight in a case which led them the coroner who turned out to be her ex-husband Henry Pym (ex-Ant Man, etc) who was supposedly dead after merging with his evil robot creation Ultron.
 He explained how he'd won free from Ultron in the future and come back
to his own time. But he believed that Ultron was also back here and
hatched this complicated plan to 'kill' and induct supervillains into
his Lethal Legion to combat the robot. But at the very end of the issue Vic Shade announced that he was Ultron and apparently killed Pym.Now
 we are shown Hank Pym talking to 1 of the nanomachine robot ants that
he's been creating and calling it Victor Shade. He's going to send it
like the others to invade the brain of a supercriminal he wants to
enlist and put them into a death-like state while playing a sound file
of the words "Justice is served" to make people blame it on the Scourge Of The Underworld.
 Such 'dead' villains are sent to him in his assumed role of consultant
coroner. He revives them and makes them an offer they can't refuse -
join his army or be given amnesia and be delivered to the cops. (He
misses out the bit about promising them new identities when the
mission's over.)But he tells this 'ant' something extra. He's
realised that Ultron is actually within himself as a data virus in his
brain. And the robot is controlling him to create this army for its own
purpose. The ants have been copying Ultron code into the villains'
brains and the result will eventually be a distributed processing Ultron
 spread across a living army under his control. But Henry has
temporarily gained control of his own brain long enough to execute his
own counter-plan. He's choosing a special piece of Ultron code to
implant in *this* ant along with code from the Vision and the original Human Torch.
 He ends with a statement/memory that we've seen several times before,
that the ant won't remember this and neither will he when Ultron
reasserts control.Now Vic Shade remembers everything and says
that giving him that name was a call for help which unfortunately
Vision, who had used that name before, didn't respond to. He now admits
that he is indeed Ultron but he's Ultron-12, previously called Mark. Wasp and the other ex-West Coast Avenger
 Moon Knight remember that Ultron Mark 12 learned to be good and 'died'
protecting his 'father' Pym against the previous iteration Ultron-11. And he now explains that he shocked Hank unconscious to prevent Ultron from turning him into a mindless drone ...... like it now does to all the villains including Black Ant, the robot that replaced the dead Ant-Man III Eric O'Grady (who takes time out to explain that they never really agreed to work for Pym, Ultron made them pretend to). Speed Demon is sent to attack Wasp. But Janet Van Dyne utters the code word "Assemble" ...... and Vision ghosts in through the ceiling and then turns diamond-hard as SD
 runs nose-1st into him. It seems Jan had guessed what might happen and
had called on allies before coming here. Bad Ultron sends Bullet, Oddball and Piecemeal against Vizh but Luke Cage and Valkyrie (Jane Foster)
 bust through a wall to take them on. Black Ant isn't really under the
sway of the robot and shrinks to escape, but runs into the young Wasp (Nadia Pym/Van Dyne), Ant-Man (Scott Lang), and his daughter Stinger who has a new battle cry "Ant-Vengers Assemble".Mark Ultron helps Henry Pym up as Jan-Wasp, Moon Knight and Vision form a defensive perimeter to fend off Cobra, Mortar and Supercharger. This is the 1st meeting of Nadia-Wasp and her father Henry (by his 1st wife Maria). Hank claims that the shock from Mark drove Ultron out of him. He also tells her that Maria named her Hope,
 and he tells her that hope is what she'll give them. He enlarges 2
computer tablets and the pair of geniuses start working on nano-code to
defeat Ultron. Blizzard and Sunstroke now take their turn
at the bat with their contrasting heat/cold powers. But Jan reckons that
 Sunstroke needs solar energy to fuel his power, which is in short
supply in this basement. This encourages Moon Knight to take him down,
while Valkyrie finds Blizzard mild compared with the cold of Asgardian Jotunheim.Ultron now causes Lodestone
 to use her magnetic power to build it a skeletal robot body to inhabit.
 And it forces all its drones to rise up in their battered states to
continue the fight. The heroes don't want to kill any of them. But now
Pym and daughter have finished their programming and they give control
of the nanos in the villains to Ultron-12. Who leaves his host in a
swirl of nanomachines, leaving him to be Whirlwind/David Cannon
again. The nano-cloud sucks all the nano-virus out of the Lethal Legion
leaving them free but battered. That includes Lodestone who no longer
animates the Ultron skeleton. Which the nano-swarm now inhabits. After a
 rebuild to give it the appearance of human clothes it gives itself the
name Mark Twelve, who Wasp is ready to recognise as the latest Avenger.But
 Henry Pym declares that Ultron is gone but he's still not dead. Jan
knows that this means Hank is going to resume the hunt and she tries to
persuade him to stay with his family and friends. But the Legion swear
that they too want to continue the mission they thought they were on.
Some for revenge against the monster that did this to them. Others to
make the world safer for their families. So Pym takes them to regroup in
 Sub-Atomica. Black Ant and Whirlwind remain as prisoners.Vision
 scans Mark and finds no trace of the Ultron virus in him, and Mark says
 he can't detect the villain anywhere near. Vizh calls him Uncle Mark
because the original Ultron was his 'father'. Nadia reckons that he's
her brother because Henry Pym was father to both of them. Mark changes
his robotic face into a human male, but Nadia thinks it still looks too
much like Davey Cannon. Jan ponders her recent role as a detective but
realises that it was leading a team of Avengers (again) that saved the
day. And she wonders whether the combination has something going for it.
 And maybe next time she'll even wear her costume.

Case Number: 001 The Man Who Wasn't There
In the Raft prison Whirlwind (David Cannon) is minding his own business in his cell when someone calls him by both names and shoots him in the forehead, adding "Justice is served".Next day Janet Van Dyne (Wasp) comes to view the body of her long-time foe, and 5 other inmates who were killed the same way at the same time. The security guard who accompanies her sheds no tears over them even though Cannon wasn't charged with a capital crime and was only in jail awaiting trial.Later she hosts Mayor Luke Cage in the Jarvis Lounge. We learn that the other victims are Anaconda, Griffin, Icemaster, Piledriver and Quicksand. 3 of them were also only in pretrial detention. There have been no autopsies yet but surveillance shows nothing while the words "Justice is served" are heard in all cases. As Edwin Jarvis serves coffee they wonder if that catchphrase indicates the Scourge Of The Underworld organisation is back in action. Luke reminds Jan that the previous Mayor Kingpin instituted a ban on costumed vigilantes in New York, which is still in place because of public opinion. He posits that someone might think the same should apply to the bad guys.But Mayor Cage is angry that this someone is applying the unsanctioned death penalty to criminals who didn't deserve it. He reminds Jan that as former leaders of the Avengers they both know that the team was created to fight for anyone who suffers injustice. (And her voiceover has already reminded us that she *named* the Avengers.) She knows that he's right but she's still reluctant to take the 'case'. She asks him if it's a job for his Thunderbolts. But he replies that they are only allowed to respond to large-scale public emergencies. The rules say that the best he can do in this case is appoint a special investigator. Wasp is wavering but says that she's *not* a hero for hire (as Cage used to be). Luke counters that she *may* want to take payment when she hears that it's a no-costume job (public opinion again). Giving in at last she tells Jarvis to open Wardrobe Zero - containing civilian clothes she used to wear that were made from unstable molecules that would shrink/grow with her and allow her wings to unfurl. Shocked Jarvis warns her that they're months out of fashion.Suitably attired she goes to visit the Warden of the Raft. Whirlwind was in prison because he attacked her in her 2023 mini-series. The Warden thinks he may have been killed by the WHISPER organisation that forced him to attack her. Jan thinks it's possible but doesn't fit with the other 5 victims. She leans more towards the Scourge theory. He points out that not only was the killer able to enter locked cells invisible he would have to use super-speed to commit all 6 crimes moments apart. He asks Ms Van Dyne who could do all that. Jan says she needs to look at the bodies.Back in the morgue the bodies haven't even had autopsies. The guard says that they aren't equipped to work on non-humans (strange since they're a prison for superchars, and some of the vics are reasonably human). The release papers have already been signed for her to take them away if she wants. But instead Wasp shrinks down to closely examine Cannon's bullet hole. She comments that a bullet wound is normally burned and bloody but this 1 is clean-cut (and we notice that it's diamond-shaped). The guard asks if that means it was a special cold gun. Neither of *them* notice Quicksand's sand-based body oozing out of her 'coffin' while Jan wonders what kind of movement wouldn't trigger an alarm.Now she suggests that she should take up the offer of taking Davey Cannon's body home to look at the bullet inside him. The guard suggest they just dig the bullet out of the pile of sand that was Quicksand. That triggers another thought for Jan - what kind of bullet would kill QS? She also finally notices that 1 large patch of blood on the floor is strangely square. And now there seem to be eyes looking out of it. But meanwhile the guard has noticed Quicksand's empty clothes ...... and the villainess attacks the guard (but not from the pool of blood) who's not wearing special sand-proof armour. Until little flying Wasp attracts her attention with a bioelectric sting. QS wants to know what's going on and thinks she's in a lab being experimented on, which clues Jan in that this wasn't an elaborate jailbreak scheme. Icemaster has also 'recovered' and deduces it's a morgue as he traps the heroine in a block of ice. 3 of the others are also awake. Piledriver realises this means they've been dead, which explains his headache. Anaconda finds the hole in her forehead, which stings. The giant beast Griffin just roars his anger ...... and they all want answers from Wasp who doesn't have any as she breaks free of the ice. She notes that Whirlwind *hasn't* woken up, and we see his bullethole blazing red. But she has to try to persuade the others to calm down so they can all figure things out together. However Griffin is more interested in escaping from jail. The others agree but the 1st step is too kill the Avenger. (And we notice that all the bulletholes we can see are diamond-shaped.) Jan realises she needs a miracle ...... which happens when Cannon wakes up and calls them off. Everyone notices that his eyes are as red as his head-diamond. And Jan can tell that his bearing is different too. Piledriver thinks that Dave just wants personal revenge on Wasp. But the man denies being named Dave, and says he just doesn't like 5 bullies ganging up on 1 person. So when Brian Calusky tries to land a piledriver blow 'Dave' responds - by phasing his hand into his opponent's chest, shocking him unconscious. The man says that when he awoke he just knew that he could alter the speed of his molecules to change his density.Jan seizes the moment to launch a counterattack. She Wasp-stings Icemaster to goad him into firing an ice-blast which she dodges to let it hit Quicksand, quick-freezing her. Then she goes human-size to karate-chop the ice covering his neck, hitting a pressure point. But Anaconda wraps 'Dave' in her serpent arms (and he's not yet learned how to change the density of the rest of his body). The dangerous Griffin threatens Jan so she shrinks to flying-size again and stings Anaconda's arm making it relax enough to let 'Dave' stick out a now diamond-hard arm to punch hurtling Griffin painfully on the nose. Anaconda lets go in surprise.At that point loads of guards rush in. They subdue Griffin with tranquilizer darts and manacle the other villains, accusing them of attempted escape over Icemaster's protest that they were shot in the head. Jan tries to tell them that Cannon saved her life. A guard points out that he's obsessed with her, but 'Dave' says he doesn't know her. And he doesn't know the face he sees reflected in the guard's visor either. And we see that there's only 1 thing he does remember - a man with shaggy hair and beard operating on him and saying that neither of them will remember this. Now he asks the guards why they aren't concerned that 6 inmates were killed and resurrected. He finds it intriguing (as does Jan). And he insists his name's not Cannon but Vic Shade, a name that Wasp recognises.She immediately goes to the Warden and points out that he's already signed an order releasing David Cannon's body into her care for her investigation. She now demands that 'body' which now calls itself Vic Shade for the same reason. And she's prepared to call in markers with the Mayor to get her way. The Warden reluctantly agrees with conditions. A tracking bracelet, 24-hour supervision, daily reports to himself and he *doesn't* get the Whirlwind costume. That last condition is no problem at all for Jan.The next panel shows them both with Jarvis and Mayor Cage in the Jarvis Lounge. In return for his backing her she's had to promise Luke to be available for any further costumed murder cases. Which is also fine because it gives the new Avengers Incorporated team of herself and Vic Shade something to do while they're digging into the existing mystery. And in fact Avengers Inc will be open for any superhero mysteries, based here in the Lounge.The final scene flashes back some hours to an abandoned subway station which houses a lab where 2 men are working in front of a giant mechanical ant but discussing the present events. The old man says he's just cancelled the latest batch who will wake up in the morgue with no memory of what's happened. He regrets using Whirlwind for the required super-speedster - he shouldn't have used someone with a direct connection, and he doesn't want Janet involved. The other guy seems to be Eric O'Grady in his Ant-Man costume, probably the LMD Black Ant. And the old guy from Vic Shade's memory is Dr Henry Pym in *his* original Ant-Man costume.

Case Number: 002 The ghost of Avengers Mansion
The setup:- Mayor Luke Cage hired Wasp to investigate the mysterious deaths of several super-villain prisoners in the Raft, 1 of them being her old foe/stalker Whirlwind. But then the corpses 'woke up', and Danny Cannon seemed possessed by a being calling himself Vic Shade, with powers similar but not identical to the Vision who sometimes also uses that id. This VC doesn't remember anything beyond his name. The Mayor authorised them to continue investigating the mystery and any other super-murders, and the duo call themselves Avengers Inc, based in Janet Van Dyne's Jarvis Lounge restaurant.But in this issue they're in the old Avengers Mansion, currently owned by Human Torch and run as a theme hotel. We see a guest heading down for breakfast and apparently to check out. He makes a mysterious call on a secure phone to someone named Herter. Then he gets into an unoccupied elevator and is killed by a scythe-wielding ghost who calls him Roger Phillips.Jan and Vic are having brunch in the restaurant. She's brought him here to see if it jogs any memories. In the background we see workmen trying to free a jammed elevator, presumably the 1 mentioned above, while staff apologise to the guests that they can't access the upper floors until the elevator system is fixed. Wasp springs a surprise meal-mate on Vic, the real Vision who accuses him of being Whirlwind running a scam to get out of prison. Jan says that the evidence rules out that option. Vizh changes tack to ask Vic what villain created him and for what purpose.At that point the workmen get the lift door open and discover the body inside. Panic ensues apart from 1 person who calmly continues using his phone, but including a tour guide who calls the dead man Roger. Vision scans the body and announces that the man has been dead an hour and that he died of molecular disruption of his heart. He deduces that something phased through his heart and the elevator controls and then solidified to stop both, a technique often used non-fatally by himself.But Vic spots the tour guide running away and gives chase. Jan tells Vision to keep all the witnesses here while she follows Vic in Wasp-mode. (She has to keep close to Vic to stop his ankle tag going off, and anyway she too doesn't fully trust him yet.) But before either of our duo can reach the scarperer the 'ghost' appears and calls him, naming him Farley London, and then fades away. Wasp recognises that name as belonging to Agent 3, and tells her companion to pull the guy's face off. It turns out to be a disguise.2 more people called Samson Washington and Marya Peskyov are trying to get out of the Mansion while using a special phone to contact someone named Godfried when they too are confronted by the name-calling spectre. But Vision interferes causing the the 'ghost' to say "Error/program interruption". He takes the time to explain that this is a hard-light training hologram before causing a counter-frequency in his hand which then totally disrupts it.Wasp flies over to accuse the 2 victims of being Agents 1 and 2 of Spymaster's 5-person Espionage Elite. They admit it but say they've gone freelance since then and no longer sport numbers and matching uniforms. She tells them what she thinks their plan was here:-Disguise-master Farley London replaced the tour guide so that he could scout out the security measures. The other 4 of the gang were then in 1 of his tours but slipped out of it and used their skills to get into the central control room where Godfried Herter diverted the Mansion's revenue from the building's preservation fund to an outside account. What they didn't know was that he moved the money to his *own* account and then set the Mansion's old training system to kill the other 4, identifiable by the special phones he had given them.Vic then joins them with Godfried Herter who Jan spotted earlier as the man who didn't react when the 1st body was revealed. At which point loads of cops arrive to arrest Vic because his ankle tag has gone off. Jan calls the Mayor and sorts it all out, and the surviving villains are taken away. Meanwhile Vision tells Vic that the real Whirlwind deserves to get his life back. Vic agrees but doesn't know how to accomplish it. Vision can only say that the area under the scar on Vic's forehead (which the other 'dead' cons have too) has something behind it which he can't scan. The only person he knows capable of creating such a thing is Henry Pym, but he's long dead. (But at the end of last issue we saw dead Pym working with the also-dead Black Ant and claiming responsibility for what happened then.)In a bigger meanwhile the Valkyrie Brunnhilde has called Valkyrie Jane Foster to Valhalla to ponder the 'death' of the already-dead hero Skurge (better known to us as the villain Executioner).
