The Red Supremacy: Chapter 2 - Theme to a Desperate Scheme
Genosha, where Tony “Iron Man” Stark lies in the pouring rain. The last hour has been one long, horrible déjà vu. He has seen it in his nightmares for months - scenes play out a million times - his friends taken down, one by one. Picked apart by weapons of his creation, waking each night in a cold sweat to his face. It has been there right in front of him all along - his subconscious screaming at him, trying to warn him. Thor, Bruce Banner a.k.a. the Hulk and Ororo “Storm” Munroe rush past in the midst of battle, as someone calls out to Tony, urging him to wake up. ‘Have at thee -’ Thor booms, before he, Storm and the Hulk are struck with a blast of energy and vanish. ‘WAKE UP!’ the voice shouts again - it is Sam Wilson, once the Falcon, now the newest Captain America. ‘We’re being massacred out there! You created those damned Sentinels - HOW THE HELL DO WE STOP THEM?’ Fires rage though various buildings in the prison, and a blast strikes near where Tony and Sam sit. ‘I… I don’t know’ Tony replies.
Sam helps Tony to his feet and tells him to focus. ‘You’re not dealing with this alone. I’m here, okay?’ he assures his teammate, asking him to say the words. ‘You’re with me… the Sam to my Frodo’ Tony replies, adding that life is beautiful. ‘Positive affirmations and groovy dreams’ he jokes. Sam remarks that he prefers the smartass Tony Stark to a catatonic one, and asks him how they can stop his Sentinels. Tony replies that he has zero recollection of creating these things, but that he remembers thinking about it, considering how he would do it.
Suddenly, Sam is struck with energy, ‘Okay, energy - physical attack is too obvious - targeting based collection - if they see you - move!’ Tony shouts, pushing Sam before the energy takes hold, they both take flight, as the massive Red Onslaught, complete with several large tentacles, stands over the battle, as a group of heroes struggles against two of the latest Sentinels.
Tony remembers that as a boy he kept a mental journal about the kids in school - all the fears they exposed, the weaknesses they couldn’t hide - detailed dissections of what he perceived to be his competition, which over time turned out to be the entire human race. ‘Okay, what’s the perfect Sentinel? It isn’t a killing machine dueling with super humans in the streets. It’s all teakwood - why attack a super hero head on?’ Tony asks, pointing out that it is better to avoid conflict, to use the target’s energy. ‘That’s it! They’re containment units!’ Tony exclaims as he and Sam dart past one of the Sentinels. He recalls that he used that to surpass the other students - shame - manipulation - cruelty - he would win by any means necessary.
The Sentinel fires a blast of energy, as Iron Man reports that they counter the target’s strengths, bathe them in Pym Particles and then hold them prisoner within. Tony recalls that when he got sober, he sought forgiveness from the kids he had shamed the most, apologizing to each of them.
‘Fine! Now how do we stop them?’ Sam asks as he dodges more energy blasts. ‘Locking on target’ one Sentinel states, while Sam reminds Tony that Red Onslaught will be free from his telepathic dampeners any second - ‘TONY!’ Sam shouts when Iron Man starts to glow - ready for capture. Tony remembers promising those he wronged that he stopped his Machiavellian, sociopath behavior. But he knew it was a lie. ‘MOVE!’ Sam shouts as he flies into Tony, pushing him through the air, the energy falls away from Stark, and instead the Sentinel captures the new Captain America. Tony falls downwards and lands against a building rooftop, crashing through it, while recalling that the years passed and he began a new journal on a new class - but he could always hear that broken promise. A reminder of who he is, the truth about what drives him - competition. Tony looks up through the hole in the roof and sees the Sentinel looming over him, while his armor reports that the reignition process has been initiated and will take five seconds. ‘I don’t have any seconds!’ Tony shouts, remembering being frantic to prove his worth to those around him - because deep down, he has always been afraid it wasn’t enough.
‘Divert all power to thrusters - get me out of here now!’ Iron Man booms, as his armor suddenly glows and his onboard computer informs him that reignition will take place in three seconds. ‘Target locked’ the Sentinel states, as the armor reports that there are two seconds remaining. ‘Override - now! Divert everything to thrusters!’ Tony shouts, while knowing that pride is the greatest struggle of his life - and this time, his little list, just gave the Red Skull the key to taking over the entire world. But, before Iron Man is captured, the Sentinel squawks when it is attacked by a barrage of mystical energy. ‘What the hell?’ Tony wonders, as the massive Sentinel, glowing in pink energy, falls backwards. Tony takes flight, and finds himself alongside Dr Stephen Strange, Wanda Maximoff a.k.a. the Scarlet Witch, Rogue and Magneto. ‘I was circling the drain there - thanks, Strange’ Iron Man announces. The rain continues to pour down, ‘By the moons of Munipoor, our number decimated!’ Strange declares. ‘My PR guy would call this “an opportunity to demonstrate our talent”!’ Iron Man jokes. ‘It’s only an opportunity when those talents prove adequate’ Magneto remarks. ‘And yours are, is that right, Evil McGee?’ Iron Man asks.
The group drops down onto the ground, as Magneto reminds everyone that he has a great deal of experience dispatching mutant assassination machines created by human. ‘There are always so many, Mr Stark’ Magneto adds. ‘Can I raincheck the self-righteous lecture?’ Tony asks. ‘If you boys are done measuring, I might have a solution’ Rogue announces. ‘That would be fantastic’ Iron Man tells her, as Rogue explains that when she touched Onslaught, she saw Xavier, that some shred of his essence is still inside that thing. ‘If somehow we can bring him out…’ Strange suggests. ‘All we need is a rotation of axis’ Wanda points out. She declares that if she channels chaos, and Stephen matches with order, the could create an in-between effect. ‘Invert the personalities and put Charles Xavier in control’ Strange remarks, adding that it could work. ‘First, we must deal with Mr Stark’s killing machines’ Magneto points out. ‘Quit calling me “Mr Stark”, super passive-aggressive. I get it. This is my fault. Message received’ Tony snaps.
Iron Man then tells Magneto that they will go take care of the Sentinels and buy Wanda and Strange some time, ‘But that means you do what I tell you, even though I’m just a mean ol’ human. Capisce?’ Iron Man demands. ‘Nothing would make me happier’ Magneto replies. Iron Man takes flight, muttering that at least he made someone happy today. Magneto flies after him, and as they pass She-Hulk, Sunfire and the new Nova at the foot of one of the Sentinels, they approach the other.
‘Skull said he built these using my Civil War Files’ Tony explains. ‘Yes, Nero, you’ve burnt Rome wonderfully. Set ablaze the world that trusted you to its safety’ Magneto responds. ‘The point I was driving at - these Sentinels are not programmed to deal with villains. you know, people like YOU’ Iron Man explains. ‘Villainy is a matter of perspective, Mr Stark’ Magneto points out. As Sunfire and the She-Hulk are captured, Iron Man tells Magneto that “murderer” is a fairly consistent metric on the ethical scale.
‘And because you’re a murdering villain, these hero-killing Sentinels were not programmed to deal with you’ Iron Man explains, adding that he knows this because he would never in his most depraved nightmares ever imagine Magneto’s ilk working together for a common good. They fly past the Sentinel, who turns to face the other, as Stark points out that is why Magneto’s magnetism works on them just fine. ‘So I’ll keep ‘em chasing me while you heat them -’ Iron Man begins, as Magneto concludes ‘-with magnetic induction heating the metal, obviously’. He adds ‘Your shoddy arc reactors are legendarily prone to meltdown’. One of the Sentinels punches the other, and Iron Man tells Magneto to keep it up, that it is working, and with the Sentinels busy, they will buy Rogue and opening to do her thing.
Indeed, Rogue, imbued with ionic energy, flies towards the behemoth that is the Red Onslaught. The Red Onslaught has captured young Nova in one of his hands, as Rogue shouts ‘You dug ‘im out of the ground. Hacked ‘im apart. Stole pieces of ‘im - stop his soul. But you got a bit more than you counted on, didn’t you Skull? Xavier’s still in there, fighting. He hold me a little secret -’ Rogue begins, as she suddenly flies straight through the Red Onslaught’s left eye socket - and out the other side of his head. ‘HEY!’ Nova calls out as Red Onslaught drops him, sending him falling, while Red Onslaught roars in agony, and Rogue concludes: ‘- you never counted on me having Wonder Man’s ionic mojo’. Rogue swoops down and catches Nova, who thanks her. ‘You - you’re - wow’ Nova smiles. ‘Can’t you fly on your own?’ Rogue asks. ‘Uh…yeah’ Nova tells her. Rogue drops him and flies off, suggesting that he find cover, as things are gonna get ugly. ‘No, I don’t need to hide… I’m a super hero’ Nova protests.
Wanda and Strange appear over Red Onslaught, ‘Summon the wellspring of your chaos, Witch - let us end this!’ Strange declares. ‘Ugly’s got his eyes on me’ Rogue tells her allies as she flies past them, the Red Onslaught turning to her. While Nova decides that it is his turn to save someone and flies past the Sentinels, ‘I’ve got your back, Rogue!’ he shouts, but one of the Sentinels sees him, ‘NO!’ Iron Man exclaims. ‘Stop! That’s not the plan!’ he tells the young hero, but it is too late, as one of the Sentinels turns to the distracted Iron Man, and slams him into the ground. ‘Iron Man…?’ Nova calls out. ‘You say something about a plan?’ he asks, before one of the Sentinels swats him, sending him careening skyward.
Dr Strange informs Wanda that the nexus is stable, while Wanda announces that the chaos realm surges. ‘Quickly, deliver the order energies into the helix -’ Wanda tells Strange - but one of the Sentinels turns to them, ‘Target acquired’ it announces, and Strange and Wanda find themselves glowing with the Sentinel’s energy for capture. ‘Wanda - we are in a Sentinel’s sights - move!’ Strange calls out. ‘No! The spell’s nearly -’ Wanda begins, but it’s too late, and the vanish. ‘Dear God…’ Magneto utters as he sees this transpire, an instant later, he is blasted with an energy beam from one of the Sentinels, and lands near where Iron Man crash landed moments earlier. ‘And just like that - the plan’s a wash’ Iron Man thinks to himself. He knows that Magneto is down and both sorcerers are gone. He hasn’t often had to face his own ingenuity - and decides that it doesn’t’ feel great.
Iron Man realizes that it must have taken him months to dream these Sentinels up. ‘No!’ he gasps as one of them prepares to stand on him. Tony knows he only has a matter of seconds to stop them, and struggles to push the Sentinel’s foot upwards. His armor reports that integrity is at eighteen percent, and he wishes that he were the only paying the price, that it would be almost perfect irony - but he is not. The armor’s integrity is down to eleven percent, and Tony knows that those paying the price are everyone he cares about. He instructs his hydraulics to reroute to left leg, and realizes that this is everything Pepper ever warned him about. ‘Reroute all remaining energy to hydraulics! NOW - everything!’ But integrity is down to two percent - his own technology taken out of his hands, used by the wrong people to do the worst things. Tony’s armor reports that shell integrity is compromised, and Tony decides that this is an acute inability to imagine his own failings. ‘Shell integrity compromised’ the armor states again. ‘Pepper always said it would be my undoing - that it was only a matter of time’ Iron Man recalls.
Suddenly, Magneto gets to his feet, and Iron Man calls out to him, while his armor states once again that shell integrity has been compromised. ‘Help - crushing - get it off -’ Iron Man pleads to Magneto. But Magneto brushes some dirt off his shoulder and frowns at Iron Man, before he takes flight.
You rotten son of a -’ Iron Man calls out. Iron Man then collapses into the mud beneath the Sentinel’s foot, ‘Damned - greatest generation - Germans -’ Stark utters, as there is a BAMF beneath the foot. ‘We Germans are not all bad, Herr Stark’ Kurt “Nightcrawler” Wagner remarks. He grabs Stark and teleports away as the Sentinel’s foot touches the ground. ‘No Germans - no strudel’ Kurt adds.
There is darkness for a time, then a voice can be heard: ‘We can’t attempt another attack. The last one cost us a dozen heroes. There have to be others we can reach. Avengers reserves, New Warriors, the Midnight Sons, the Eternals - SOMEONE!’ the voice shouts, as Stark wakes, to find himself in a dark room alongside several other heroes - Nightcrawler, Scott “Cyclops” Summers, Piotr “Colossus” Rasputin, Queen Medusa, Susan Storm the Invisible Woman, Alex “Havok” Summers and Janet van Dyne a.k.a. the Wasp, who Cyclops tells all the other heroes are busy holding back World War Hate.
‘Look who is awake’ Colossus remarks. ‘Almost like he timed it to miss our last failed attack’ Nightcrawler adds. ‘Good morning, Buttermilk’ the Wasp jokes. ‘Morning? How long was I out?’ Stark asks. ‘All night’ Havok tells him, adding that they are safe, that the Skull hasn’t found them here, for Quentin is telepathically blocking his broadcasts. ‘But it sucks, man…’ Quentin Quire mutters as he sits alongside the injured young mutant called Genesis.
Iron Man asks about the whereabouts of the others, to which Nightcrawler reveals that he was evacuating the prisoners, he saw the last of the heroes go down. ‘Evaporated before our eyes’ Nightcrawler adds. ‘We’re it, Stark’ Havok declares. ‘Your pal Magneto left me in the lurch, even left his daughter behind. Quality people you work with, Havok’ Stark mutters. ‘He’s no friend of mine’ Havok replies, before Stark presses his communicator, and asks ‘Steve? Are you picking this up?’ but Havok informs Stark that Steve is not answering, they have already tried. ‘Then it appears we are the cavalry’ Nightcrawler tells everyone. ‘Not a bad group to die with’ Susan smiles. ‘I love you too, Sue. I do, but - I’m not going to die here! None of us are! We’re not leaving the world to the Red Skull!’ Iron Man announces getting to his feet.
Iron Man turns to the Wasp and reminds her how she asked him why they do this, why they have to pay the price. ‘I didn’t know then, but I do now. It doesn’t matter why we do the right thing… just so long as we do it’ Iron Man tells her. He points out that they have been given the tools, so they either step up or watch the world burn. ‘Damn it…’ Havok utters. ‘What?’ the Wasp asks him. ‘That was a pretty good speech. He’s right. The burden falls on our shoulders. Again’ Havok declares. ‘But more than for just other people - for us’ the Wasp adds. She kisses Havok and tells him that they have a beautiful family to build together. Cyclops turns to Nightcrawler and admits that he knows things have been strained, to which Nightcrawler replies ‘Don’t, Scott. I know’ and tells him that it makes him very happy to fight by his side again. ‘One last time, Fuzzy Elf’ Cyclops suggests, before turning to his brother: ‘You wanted a Unity Squad - you’ve got one. Call the plan’.
Havok announces that there is only one way at it - Nightcrawler and the Invisible Woman are to get them past the Sentinels, while Quentin keeps them mentally protected, and they throw everything they have got at the Skull.
The heroes emerge from the bunker, back out into the rain, as the Red Onslaught and his Sentinels loom over them. ‘The last of the vermin crawl from their holes’ the Red Onslaught declares. ‘SHUT HIM UP’ Havok shouts as he and Cyclops unleash their respective energies at their foe. ‘Charles, if you’re in there, if you can hear me - no matter how this ends, there’s been at least one victory’ Havok thinks to himself, pointing out that the Avengers, X-Men and Inhumans have come together.  ‘I hope seeing it brings you some comfort’.
As the optic and solar blasts strike the Red Onslaught’s face, cracking it, Havok thinks that unit is possible, that he and Scott - they agree on so little - but that the good man he once was is not dead yet.
‘For Charles!’ Nightcrawler shouts as he teleports onto the Red Onslaught’s head. ‘Da’ Colossus agrees.
Havok thinks that when the chips are down, Cyclops was always there for them, but decides that in reality, Cyclops was there for the Professor.
Nightcrawler drops Colossus onto the Red Onslaught’s face, before teleporting away. The Red Onslaught cries out in pain as Colossus’ armored form digs into his skull.
Havok thinks that more than anything, that is what drove Scott today - though he would never admit that he had a hand in Charles’ death, his guilt and sadness cannot be hidden.
‘Now, Sue!’ Medusa calls out as she wraps her long hair around one of the Red Skull’s ankles, forcing his foot off the ground. ‘On it’ Sue responds, as she puts an invisible force under the Red Onslaught, and together, they topple the behemoth.
Havok realizes that, today, Scott Summers has fought alongside sworn enemies to protect a world that hates and fears him.
‘That all you got, little brother?’ Cyclops asks. ‘I haven’t even started’ Havok replies. ‘Sibling rivalry to the end’ the Wasp remarks as she stands alongside Havok.
Havok suspects that Cyclops does this in hopes of earning Charles’ forgiveness - to try and make him proud.
Suddenly, one of the Sentinels catches Havok, Cyclops and the Wasp. ‘I love you, Alex’ Jan utters. ‘You better’ Alex replies as the three vanish. Nightcrawler, Susan, Iron Man and Medusa gather together, and Sue points out that the Sentinels are onto their approach. Iron Man reports that he is grounded - he has no power left, before instructing the other three to take the fight to the Red Skull. ‘Hmmmh’ Nightcrawler replies. ‘Go - help Colossus tear Skull’s head off’ Iron Man tells them. But Medusa points out that even if they could, that can’t possibly kill him. ‘I know’ Iron Man replies. ‘But it can’t hurt’ he adds.
Within seconds: ‘Help’s arrived, Piotr’ Kurt exclaims as he teleports himself, Susan and Medusa onto the Red Skull’s head, where Colossus is tearing at one of the Red Skull’s eye sockets. ‘Such rank desperation’ the Red Skull remarks.
Down below, Iron Man tries to get the attention of one of the Sentinels, firing some energy blasts at it. But the other one locks onto Colossus, Nightcrawler, Medusa and Susan. Nightcrawler tells Susan to throw up an invisible force field, but it’s too late, and the vanish, leaving Iron Man dropped to his knees in the mud below the Red Onslaught and the Sentinels. ‘And so the last of your great resistance crumbles before me. I promised you would livve to see all you loved obliterated before you, Herr Stark’ Red Onslaught calls out. ‘And you will’ he adds. Iron Man’s armor announces that systems have failed and reserve energies are depleted. ‘I’m not super worried about it. Figure out something. Good guys always win, Skull. Always’ Iron Man replies. But the Red Onslaught points out that when one boasts of their good deeds so loudly, those deeds cease to be charity, cease to be heroic - it reveals the ugly pride of the braggart.
Red Onslaught looms down over Iron Man, his face close to the armored Avenger, ‘I’ve seen your soul, Herr Stark. You are not charitable. You are a common sociopath, with a good complex that rivals my own’ Red Onslaught announces. ‘Yet here you are. Helpless. Frozen and kneeling before a true God’ the Red Skull declares, boasting that there is no one left to save him, no one left to stop his onslaught! But, suddenly, a voice calls: ‘I wouldn’t say no one, Skull - and I’m pretty fair at killing Nazis!’ It is Magneto, who has returned with an assemblage of super villains, villains and criminals - Dr Doom, Mystique, Carnage, Sabretooth, Loki, Hobgoblin, the Enchantress, Absorbing Man, Jack O’Lantern and Deadpool, ready to challenge the onslaught!

The Red Supremacy: Chapter 3 - Good News for Bad People
Genosha, where the Red Skull’s onslaught rages. Assisted by two powerful Sentinels, the Red Skull - or the Red Onslaught as he now calls himself - evil is unleashed. But now, several villains - and Deadpool - have arrived to stop him.
‘My name is Lance Corporal Wade Wilson’ Deadpool thinks to himself as he pulls Tony “Iron Man” Stark away from the Sentinels. ‘Me and the men of the 356th Regent Bareback Mounties left sweet Mary Crackerhorn and Hoodwinkle’s Ice Cream Parlor to come fight overseas in Genosha and stomp a Nazi. To give what we have to the good fight. And maybe - just maybe - make a new best friend’. Deadpool asks Stark the following question: ‘You know how sometimes you show up at a party at the same time as some goofs and you worry everyone’ll think you came with them?’
Deadpool continues, remarking that it is rude, but you want to tell the host that you didn’t come with the losers. ‘See, I get that it looks like I’m with these guys, Iron Man, but I’m totally not’ Deadpool declares, as Iron Man wearily asks Deadpool where he is taking him. Deadpool claims that he missed the good guys bus, and caught a bus with the villains. ‘But I’m not a super villain’ he proclaims. ‘Where the hell are you taking me?’ Iron Man shouts as he looks up at the Sentinels. ‘Oh, like that guy there. That’s a real super villain - the Hobgoblin. He’s just like the Green Goblin, except, you know, more “Hob”!’ Deadpool remarks, pointing at the villain as he darts about on his goblin glider. Deadpool points to the guy behind him - Carnage - and explains that he is a bloodthirsty redneck serial killer inside a crazy alien symbiote. ‘I guess “Carnage” sounded cooler than “Red Venom”’ Deadpool adds.
As Jack O’Lantern and the Absorbing Man attack one of the Sentinels, Sabretooth a.k.a. Victor Creed leaps onto the Sentinel and starts to hack away at it with his claws. ‘Lookit me now, Ma - I’m a dang super hero!’ Carnage shouts. ‘And they said I wouldn’t amount to nothing in maximum security detention’ he jokes. ‘Think we’ll get on Oprah for saving the world?’ Hobgoblin asks, to which Carnage points out that he could mark “murder a studio audience” off of his bucket list. Absorbing Man swings his ball and chain, ‘Damn, Skull, you gone to all this trouble to build up these perfect Sentinels and you don’t even consider us?’ he asks. Enchantress and Magneto hover nearby, and the Enchantress points out that that is the kind of oversight that gets you uninvited to fondue parties.
Attached to the Hobgoblin’s glider, Carnage calls out normally he would be onboard with the whole “concentration camp” vibe the Skull has got going on here. The Sentinel locks on to the Hobgoblin and fires two blasts from his eyes, but the Hobgoblin ducks on his glider, avoiding the blasts. ‘Subjugation, death, mud, squalor, giant evil robots - this is my science, yo!’ Carnage exclaims, before latching himself onto one of the Sentinels, adding that seeing as how they have to bow and worship the feet of the Red Skull - ‘That just ain’t country!’ he declares.
On the ground, Dr Doom and Loki stand back from the battle. ‘Look at that. Tore an eye out of the behemoth. The inbred fool did just as you requested’ Loki remarks, as the watch Carnage leap from the Sentinel, large eyeball trailing behind him. ‘Fools do as Doom requests’ Doom replies. ‘A novelty t-shirt if ever there was one’ Loki jokes. Doom points out that the Sentinel is marching this way and suggests to Loki that he move. ‘By your last statement, if I were to blindly follow your advice, would that not make me a fool?’ Loki asks. Doom hangs his head and tells Loki ‘That distinction is merely a matter of degrees’. ‘Better to ignore a doom and be thought a fool than to do as he says and remove all -’ Loki begins, before the Sentinel strikes, and Loki vanishes.
Doom is unscathed, ‘Surely you were not dispatched so readily, Loki. Some manner of chicanery?’ Doom remarks. ‘I did get straight A’s in Chicanery 101’ a voice responds, as Loki appears on the Sentinel’s head. ‘Mrs Johnson’s star trickster!’ Loki exclaims, holding his sword overhead. ‘A deceiver of eyes, hearts and minds - it was in the school paper and everything!’ Loki jokes, as he strikes the Sentinel with energy, opening it’s eye up, boasting that it is a little something for the robot to add to its files for next time. ‘This automaton need make no notes from its first encounter with Doom’ Dr Doom boasts as he hovers before the Sentinel, ‘Its first will be its last’ Doom adds as he unleashes beams of energy at the Sentinel. But, Magneto appears, and tears the Sentinel’s head apart. ‘Even you must see the inherent ridiculousness in your ego’ he tells Doom. ‘I am clearly the best suited to rend this beast now weakened’ Magneto points out.
‘Friendship, plan-making and cooperation… who knew, right?’ Loki jokes as the trio regroup on the ground. ‘Enough words. There is no gain from playing games here, Prince of Lies’ Magneto tells Loki. ‘Games? Pfft. I’m on the up and up now, Magneto’ Loki grins, adding that he is a real swell guy, a bright character - a hugger. I have a tea garden, I meditate…’ Loki claims, before pointing at Doom and suggesting to Magneto that if he were him, he would keep one of those suspicious magnetic eyes pointed “that-a-ways”. Loki declares that Doom is one hundred percent looking for some way he can betray them and turn this to his advantage. ‘No offense intended’ Loki tells Doom. ‘None taken’ the monarch responds. Magneto takes flight, telling the others that the Skull’s telepathy may be blocked for now, but that he fears their telepath cannot block him that much longer.
And, huddled behind a wall, Quentin Quire shouts ‘This sucks! His mind - everywhere - he’s seeping into my head - infecting my thoughts!’ Quentin tells his classmate, Evan a.k.a. Genesis that he can’t guard them much longer. Recovering from his wounds, Genesis tells Quentin that he has to. ‘Just buy me a little more time to heal and I can go help, okay? You can do this…’I believe in you’ Evan encourages Quentin.
As Sabretooth continues to slash away at the Red Onslaught’s neck, Hobgoblin darts around him. ‘You sad fools have sided with these failed wretches? You clearly lack the foresight to see when a battle’s outcome is predetermined!’ he tells them. Suddenly, ‘Still one wretch to go, Skull…and this one’s got a perfect track record of taking you down’ a voice calls out. Red Onslaught looks down and sees Captain America - Steve Rogers - standing at his feet. ‘Herr Rogers. I’d so hoped the rumors of your aging were untrue… torturing a feeble old man sounded too anticlimactic’ Skull replies, adding that Zola showed him the pathetic state that Iron Man left Cap in. How is such a recover possible?’ he asks. ‘Steel-cut oats, sit-ups, spinach and pride in eagles’ Cap replies. ‘You play games! I am the righteous anger of humanity taken form!’ Red Onslaught boasts. ‘Yeah? And I’m not Steve Rogers. But seeing him sure did rile you up’ Raven Darkholme points out as she shape shifts out of Captain America’s form back into her default appearance.
‘I’m just the distraction… she’s the heavy!’ Mystique calls out, as the Enchantress appears above the Red Onslaught. ‘YOU?’ the Red Onslaught booms. He declares that no mere enchantress can contend with what he has become, and calls her an Asgardian dog. ‘Toxic, psychic hate. Devoid of all emotion. I’ve always loved a challenge’ the Enchantress replies. ‘I WILL BREAK YOU’ Red Onslaught booms. ‘No - you will love me’ the Enchantress commands, putting the Red Onslaught under her spell. ‘Does it hurt? It must. For a being of pure hate to feel such untamed love for someone - such a conflicting dichotomy of emotions. Don’t fight it. Every creature deserves to feel love at least once’ the Enchantress utters. The Red Onslaught roars, and the Enchantress smirks, pointing out that it appears this is tearing his rotten soul apart.
Sabretooth, Absorbing Man and Carnage lash out at the remaining Sentinel, who has Jack O’Lantern in its grasp. Sabretooth tells the others that he is not a fan of taking orders from no frail, but that Mystique and the Enchantress are the exceptions. ‘Don’t fall in love, sweat bomb - I plan on killing ‘em both when this is over. Thought of killing y’all is what’s keeping me moving’ Carnage announces. ‘I’m game to see you try’ Jack O’Lantern exclaims. ‘Make way, ladies!’ the Absorbing Man shouts, swinging his ball and chain, he declares that it is time for a man to do some work. ‘Ain’t no party like a Crusher Creel party’ he jokes, ‘cause a Crusher Creel party is made of adamantium!’ he exclaims as his large ball slams into the Sentinel’s head. The villains regroup, ‘That’s how it’s done, ya punks’ Absorbing Man declares. Carnage tells him that he doesn’t have to be arrogant like that, ‘We weakened it up a little’ he adds. ‘Har! Baby Kasady need some recognition?’ Absorbing Man asks. ‘Courtesy doesn’t cost ya anything’ Carnage replies. ‘Ah, don’t you worry, sweet cheeks… I’ll put a gold star on your confederate mudflap’ Absorbing Man tells Carnage as he leaps away.
Enchantress continues to hover in front of the behemoth Red Onslaught, and tells him that his barbaric broadcast was very rude - that it ruined what was a pleasant evening. ‘Forgive me…’ Red Onslaught utters. ‘Would you serve me?’ Enchantress asks ‘Yes!’ Red Onslaught responds. ‘That would make you happy? To serve me, to be my loyal dog?’ Enchantress asks. ‘Anything to be near you’ the wide-eyed Red Onslaught replies. Enchantress supposes that she might keep him as a toy, and remarks that the beast that laid low Thor in the palm of her hands - they shall shape this world together, to her liking. ‘A sentinel - behind you, my love’ Red Onslaught calls out as one of the half-destroyed Sentinels raises a hand and fires a ball of energy towards the Enchantress, although she is not struck by the energy, a moment later, Absorbing Man bursts forth from the Sentinel’s chest. ‘Ridley Scott, eat your heart out!’ he shouts.
‘Curse it! My spell is -’ Enchantress begins, before the Red Onslaught smacks his fist into her: ‘Broken, you contemptible sow!’ the Red Onslaught declares. He looms over the villains and tells them that there is no room for them in his Reich Eternal. ‘You mongrels will die - but first you will suffer!’ he shouts.
At that moment, Wanda Maximoff a.k.a. the Scarlet Witch and Dr Stephen Strange emerge from the downed Sentinel. Magneto calls out to them and tells them to hurry, adding that he has managed to open their cages, but there is no time to fee the others. ‘Can you still manage your inversion spell?’ Magneto then enquires. ‘Yes… yes we can. But it will leave us defenseless again’ Strange announces, to which Wanda declares that they need someone to competently protect them. Strange looks over to the battle and asks what the army of cutthroats and criminals are doing here. ‘What the hell have you done, Magneto?’ he demands. Magneto replies that he has made the only choice left to be made - he compromised.
Inside a small building, Quentin tells Evan that he can’t do it, that he can’t stop the Nazi’s telepathy anymore. ‘Just a few more minutes - you can do it’ Evan urges him. Evan reminds Quentin that people think the two of them are bad, that it is just in them, that they can’t choose. ‘But you can prove them wrong’ he declares, adding that when this is over, everyone will know what Quentin did here - they will know that Quentin Quire saved the world. ‘“Quentin Quire, the X-Man who saved Earth from the Red Skull”… it does sound…’ Quentin begins, when suddenly, ‘Utterly delusional!’ the Red Onslaught booms as he telepathically manifests himself in the room. The Red Onslaught declares that Quentin has prevented nothing - merely postponed the inevitable. The only thing the future holds for your ilk is death’ the Red Onslaught adds, as Evan looks on in shock.
Back on the battle field, the damaged Sentinels fight on, as Deadpool pulls Iron Man behind some rubble, ‘So, listen, there’s something I want to ask…’ Deadpool begins, as Iron Man asks him to shut up. Ignoring the request, Deadpool continues, ‘I know this might not be the best rime, it’s just that, well…’ his voice trails off. ‘Please’ Iron Man declares as Deadpool tells him that he looks like he could use another super pal right now. ‘So, whadda ya think? Avengers material?’ Deadpool asks, hands on hips. ‘You’re an insane mercenary zombie married to a vampire. Even if we weren’t about to be wiped out…even if there was going to be an Avengers team to join after this - the answer would still be “no”. You’ll never be an Avenger as long as I live’ Iron Man replies, before asking ‘Now for the hundredth time, you moron, where the hell are you dragging me?’ he shouts. Deadpool holds up a live cable and replies that he thought he would just power up Iron Man’s armor. ‘Classic team-up business. Helping you out even though you know…you’re just sort of a jerk’.
‘Free of the whelp’s mental block! Free of Stark’s manipulations! NOW FEEL THE FULL FURY OF THE RED ONSLAUGHT!’ the behemoth that is the Red Skull shouts, energy beams raging from his eyes. ‘You who came to usurp me - serve me now’ the Red Onslaught exclaims. ‘We will serve you’ the villains respond. ‘…we will annihilate all who stand against you’ they add. Hovering near the Red Onslaught, Dr Strange announces that the helix is stable. Energies rush from Wanda and Dr Strange, as Wanda utters that she can hear him in her head - the Skull has broken through. ‘Skull ain’t your worry, gorgeous… ol’ Cletus is gonna see how pretty you wizards bleed!’ Carnage snarls as he leaps towards the magicians, but he is suddenly knocked backwards by energy beams fired from the eyes of Genesis. ‘I’ll keep you covered - cast the damn spell!’ Genesis calls out. ‘Thank you, Evan. We’re almost -’ Wanda begins, as the Red Onslaught looms over them: ‘Almost. Almost. Almost - but never enough!’
The Red Onslaught tells them that their scheme is undone, and that the Scarlet Witch is finally his. He adds that he has no use for Strange, who is put under the Red Skull’s control and announces that he will remove himself from his presence. Strange then seemingly falls unconscious. ‘And I’ll remove the whelp!’ Sabretooth roars as he leaps towards Evan, when, a moment later, a voice sings: “Then I saw her face - now I’m an Avenger! I’m in love! Ooooooo I’m an Avenger, I couldn’t avenge less if I tried!’ It’s Deadpool, who comes between Evan and Sabretooth. He shoves his swords into Sabretooth, causing the villain to howl. As Iron Man flies nearby, the Scarlet Witch goes over to the motionless Dr Strange, and has her back to Dr Doom who silently approaches her. ‘Gha - now I’m going to have that song stuck in my head’ Iron Man mutters as he flies towards Red Onslaught, ‘Hey, buddy. Miss me?’ Iron Man asks, adding ‘Bet you didn’t miss my telepathic dampener’
‘My guardian angel’ Evan calls out to Deadpool. ‘Promised I’d always be there for you. Even if it was, you know, a bit of a luck-out’ Sabretooth’s body lies motionless nearby, and as the Scarlet Witch gets to her feet, Doom declares that, once again, it falls to he to save the world. He instructs the Scarlet Witch to resume her spell, and he will conjure the order to match her chaos. ‘Even at a time like this, Doom, you’re a vile sight. And don’t think for a second this redeems you from what you did to me’ Wanda tells him. But Doom tells the Scarlet Witch that her forgiveness means nothing to him. ‘Doom does not mourn the insects he steps on’ he proclaims. Wanda and Doom cast their energies, and a vortex is created near the furious Red Onslaught.
Black and white energies surround Genosha, the island then glows in a blue light, before the black and white energies switch places - then disappear in a burst of smoke. After that, there is darkness. ‘What happened? Where the HELL is Doom?’ Iron Man demands to know. As the captive heroes emerge from the downed Sentinels, Sam Wilson a.k.a. the new Captain America, remarks that he didn’t even know Doom was part of the equation. ‘How long were we out?’ Havok a.k.a. Alex Summers asks. ‘Doom was here?’ Scott “Cyclops” Summers enquires. Clint “Hawkeye” Barton mutters that he didn’t even make it to round two, which is certainly a blow to his ego. ‘Where are the villains?’ Wanda asks, adjusting her headpiece. Iron Man reveals that hr was out cold for at least five minutes, and when he woke up, they were all gone. ‘Except that annoyance, Deadpool’ Iron Man points out. ‘I’m, like, right behind you’ Deadpool mutters as he stands near Thor.
‘Skull’s still here’ Havok announces as he carries the Skull’s body, reverted back to its traditional form. ‘And he’s alive’ Havok adds as he puts the Skull down amongst the gathered heroes. ‘I don’t know if that gets filed under good or bad news…’ Iron Man remarks. ‘Definitely “bad”’ Sam tells him, while someone asks ‘If the inversion worked, then Xavier’s personality…’ they trail off, as Kurt “Nightcrawler” Wagner utters ‘Dear Lord…’ and Ororo “Storm” Munroe asks ‘Could Charles be in there?’ ‘Wake him! Maybe he’s -’ Rogue begins, as Cyclops, Colossus, Iceman and Psylocke gather around them. ‘Wake him?’ Sam Wilson shouts. ‘Are you people insane?’ Iron Man, the Scarlet Witch, Thor, Iron Fist, Hawkeye and Deadpool are on the other side of the Skull, and Iron Man tells everyone that it is possible Xavier is in there, but that until they know for certain, it is safer if he is unconscious. ‘He will be held inside Avengers Tower’ Thor reports.
‘Are we back here again?’ an angry Cyclops asks. ‘After everything we’ve been through - if Charles could be inside that monster, we have to help him!’ Cyclops exclaims. He raises his voice: ‘I HAVE TO HELP HIM!’ and asks the Avengers if they can understand what this means to him. ‘I’m not letting you take him, Cyclops. End of debate’ Sam Wilson replies. ‘They haven’t come one step closer to understanding anything about us’ Storm utters. Havok steps between them, and asks Sam to be reasonable. ‘If there’s a chance of saving Xavier, it’s our right to explore it!’ Cyclops exclaims. Storm reports that they will take him back to the school. ‘Quentin and Emma can keep him in check if -’ she begins, but Sam Wilson declares ‘No’ and reminds everyone that the Red Skull is a murdering psychopath who just nearly destroyed the world, so he will be held in Avengers Tower before he is put on trial for his crimes against humanity. ‘That’s how it is!’ he exclaims.
‘Wait a damned minute before you start telling me how it is, “Falcon”!’ Havok declares, reminding him that he isn’t in charge, and that neither he nor Iron Man can give him orders. ‘You might not like to acknowledge it, but I’m a co-leader of the Avengers, appointed by Sir Steve Rogers, your patron saint of authority’ Havok reminds them, as the Hulk, Black Widow and Luke Cage gather around Iron Man. ‘Speak of the devil’ Sam Wilson utters as a jet starts to descend from above. ‘Let’s hear what “Sir Steve Rogers, patron saint of authority” has to say about it, “co-leader”!’ Sam adds. Magneto hovers overhead as the aged Steve and his son, the new Nomad, step from the jet. ‘Steve, we’ve got a situation’ Sam reports. ‘Looks like we had a situation’ Steve replies, pointing out that it looks like the Avengers and the X-Men united to stop it. ‘I’m damn proud of you all’ he tells them.
Havok points out that if Wanda’s inversion spell worked, that means Xavier’s back in control. He adds that after all they have been through, the loss of Charles, the loss of Logan, the splintering of the X-Men entirely. ‘We need him back, Steve. If he’s in there -’ Havok begins, interrupted by Steve who tells him ‘If he’s in there, we’ll get him out, Alex. You have my word on that. But right now, all we know is that he’s the most dangerous person in the world’. Steve asks Alex to allow them to take the Skull to Avengers Tower. ‘Please, stand down’ he requests. ‘Stand down? After everything I’ve been through?’ Alex shouts. ‘It doesn’t matter anymore, Alex - whatever’s left in there isn’t your mentor. Just residue’ a voice announces.
Everyone turns to see a gray-skinned, muscular man before them. ‘Evan? Little guy? Chami-Tammi-Tango? My little salty waddler? You got all jacked! Where do you lift, broddidly? Is it weird I’m hugging you?’ Deadpool babbles as he hugs Genesis.
‘I wouldn’t do it again’ Evan replies. Jeez. Alright. Mood swing’ Deadpool mutters, before asking Evan if puberty snuck up on him. Evan reports that Xavier is dead. ‘Let them have the Nazi, he isn’t the answer to any of our problems’ Evan tells the X-Men. ‘And I suppose you know who is?’ Havok asks. ‘I have an idea’ Evan replies. So Havok tells Steve Rogers that they will step aside - but with one condition. ‘Name it’ Steve responds. ‘Accept my resignation as an Avenger and forget I was ever your figurehead’ Alex announces, adding that it looks like by “Unity” Steve meant that they follow him, and do as he says. ‘That’s not unit, Steve - that’s tyranny’ Alex points out. Alex remarks that he thought Steve of all people would know the difference. ‘But I can see now - Scott was right about you’. Alex then turns and strides away from the Avengers, although the Wasp starts shouting at him, asking him what he is doing.
‘You can’t throw everything away. Don’t be a fool!’ the Wasp calls out. Alex tells Janet that he is going home, ‘This fool clearly made a mistake trusting you’ he adds as he stands by Storm, Angel, Iceman, Cyclops and Colossus. ‘Just like any time the X-Men trust the Avengers’ Havok adds, as the X-Men turn and walk away, leaving the Avengers to pick up the Red Skull. Cannonball and Sunspot can be seen remaining with the Avengers, while the Scarlet Witch and Rogue look at each other from opposite sides - Wanda with the Avengers and Rogue with the X-Men. Both women appear solemn. Havok glances back as the Avengers board their Quinjet. The Wasp stares at him, and continues to do so as the door to the Quinjet closes, and the Avengers leave Genosha.

Inversion: Chapter 1 - Altered Beast
The SHIELD Helicarrier Iliad, above the Atlantic Ocean, where inside, Sam Wilson, the new Captain America, and the Hulk are meeting with Nick Fury Jr and Maria Hill :
Hill announces that the Stark Sentinels have been collected and are being dismantled, while Nick Fury Jr reports that the Skull’s camps in Genosha have been torn down. Hill adds that all of his prisoners have been evacuated, taken to hospitals or returned to their homes, and SHIELD is offering trauma support to any who request it. ‘World War Hate has been neutralized’ Fury asserts. ‘Yep’ Sam agrees, as Fury points out ‘And now the healing, or so the cliché goes’. He tells Sam that this is one of the ugliest things they have encountered going back as far as he can remember. ‘But you did it’. Hill tells Sam that it is now time to hand the Red Skull over.
Hill continues, assuring Sam that the international community appreciates what the Avengers did, but that no one is comfortable leaving the Red Skull in their care. ‘Nice and subtle approach to the elephant in the room, Maria’ Fury remarks. Hill tells him that they don’t have time for subtlety, as this “elephant”  has the ungodly power of Charles Xavier, so they have built a special containment facility to deal with him. ‘You’re right, Director Hill - Red Skull’s the most powerful, most deranged monster we’ve ever encountered. All the more reason he’ll stay in Avengers Tower and not in some rinky-dink SHIELD prison’ Sam declares. ‘Rinky-dink?’ Fury asks. ‘Are you trying to push my buttons, Wilson?’ But Sam tells Fury that he doesn’t care about his buttons, and motioning to a screen, depicting the Red Skull chained in his holding cell in Avengers Tower, Sam assures the SHIELD officials that Tony Stark devised a way to keep the Skull’s  brainwaves turned off, locked up in the heart of Avengers Tower, surrounded by Earth’s mightiest heroes. ‘We’ve got Skull - he’s safe’ Sam assures them.
‘Next topic’ Sam declares. ‘Tony Stark? The same Tony Stark who built the Skull’s Sentinels?’ Maria asks, unimpressed. ‘The same Tony Stark who hasn’t been seen for almost two weeks?’ she continues, telling Sam that a prisoner of war is being held by a private organization, which is not how things are done. ‘Maybe them right, Cap. Maybe it better if we hand him over -’ the Hulk suggests, but Sam interrupts him and announces that he has made his decision. He glances up at the Hulk and points out that he did not invite discussion. Fury gets to his feet and approaches Sam, telling him that he knows he has been through a lot, and that everyone’s nerves are frayed. ‘But this attitude…let’s just go back to zero, okay?’ he asks. Sam also gets to his feet and tells Fury that he wants to make something perfectly clear: ‘I don’t work for you’ he reminds him, raising his voice. Fury warns Sam that he is out of line.
‘Comport yourself in a manner befitting your station -’ Fury orders, causing Sam to shout ‘MY STATION?’ and slam his fist into Fury’s face, knocking him backwards. Maria drops to her knees to check on Fury, as Sam tells him ‘You’ve got me mixed up with Steve’. Sam and the Hulk turn to leave and Sam calls back ‘I’m not that Captain America’ as he informs the Hulk that they are done here.
Down a corridor, Sam contacts the Scarlet Witch via communicator. She responds, and Sam informs her to call a meeting, as they have a situation. ‘And Wanda, one other thing… don’t tell Rogers’ Sam instructs her.
Meanwhile, in Bushwick, Brooklyn, several police officers have surrounded a block of flats. ‘All units, get into position. Move in on my command’ a senior officer announces, before speaking into his megaphone: ‘All right, Squid - throw your weapons out the window and come out with your hands up!’ the officer remarks that the Squid already botched the bank robbery, and now kidnapping an innocent family is only going to make matters worse. ‘Who do you think you’re talking to? We’re not going anywhere, you silly scamp!’ the Squid calls back from a window in one of the apartments. He holds several weapons with his tentacles and supposes that they are going to have to send out a body to show they mean business. ‘On it, boss!’ one of the Squid’s henchmen calls out, while a family cowers in the corner. The Squid opens fire at the officers, who duck for cover around their cars. One of the officers contacts the command center, informing them that they are taking fire, as the Squid and his gang, the Tentacles have taken a family hostage. ‘Request immediate backup!’ the officer shouts.
Suddenly, the senior officer looks to the sky: ‘Hang on, command… help’s arrived’ he announces, as a figure, obscured by the glare of the sun overhead, swings into view. But, inside the apartment, ‘Do the old man. Seems like the most humane choice that’ll still get the pigs’ attention’ the Squid tells his gang, as the man, his wife and their two children huddle together. ‘No! Please!’ the wife pleads. ‘Anything - just don’t hurt my family!’ the man exclaims. Suddenly, the help crashes through the window - it is none other than Cletus Kasady a.k.a. Carnage. ‘Sounds like a job for “Carnage Family Protective Services”!’ the villain jokes. He wraps his hands around the throat of one of the gang members, ‘Lord knows I could have used a pal like me growing up. Pa was something of a drinker, y’see’ Carnage remarks. ‘You trying to steal my take, Kasady?!’ the Squid asks, before telling him ‘You’re trying to pull one on then wrong dude - the Squid don’t roll over’ the villain exclaims. ‘That’s more of a dog trick, anyway’ Carnage begins before the Squid slams one of his tentacles into Carnage, sending him crashing into the floor. ‘Grab the kid! We’ll use him as a shield on the way out!’ one of the gang members declares.
‘No!’ the father shouts, reaching for his child. Carnage extends his symbiote webbing, catching the gang members in it, he tells them ‘Dad’s right, you dummy. You use the Mom. Kids’re too small - cops’d swipe ya fer sure!’ he adds ‘One to grow on from your pal, courageous Carnage!’ As the Squid rushes towards him, Carnage grabs him by his neck and decides ‘That name doesn’t as good when I say it out loud’. He traps the Squid in his webbing, and turns to the boy: ‘Everything’s going to be all right, little guy. Don’t you fret none. Now…who’s first to give Uncle Carnage a bi ol’ hero’s hug?’ Carnage asks as he looms over the family. But, outside, Peter Parker a.k.a. Spider-Man drops down on one of the police cars. ‘What’s going on, chief?’ he asks. ‘Pandemonium’ the police officer replies, informing Spider-Man that the Squid was holding a family hostage, and then Carnage went busting in. He informs Spider-Man that he is preparing a swat unit, but Spider-Man swings towards the apartment, informing the officer that if Carnage is in there, then they will all be dead.

‘Spider-Man!’ the little boy exclaims as Spider-Man swings into the apartment, where he finds the family alive and in one piece. Looking at the symbiotie webbing around the living room, Spider-Man sees the Squid and his gang tied up. ‘Okay, this isn’t what I expected’ Spider-Man announces, before asking where Carnage is. ‘Lunatic’s gone. Didn’t even take the haul’ the Squid replies. ‘Nobody’s dead, he didn’t take your money, you and your gang are webbed up…you sure it was Carnage?’ Spider-Man asks. ‘Left ya a note’ Squid replies, hanging upside down with a note on his chest. Spider-Man opens it up and there is a picture of Carnage’s face, with the message: “From your friendly neighborhood Carnage!”. ‘Now that is really disturbing…’ Spider-Man remarks, adding that it is verging on copyright infringement.
Meanwhile, in San Francisco, at the Giant’s Stadium, fans line the stadium, while Iron Man a.k.a. Tony Stark descends from above. ‘And now, please rise for our national anthem’ an announcer calls out, but Iron Man steals the scene: ‘Hello, San Francisco! Let’s take a rain check on the national anthem’ he suggests, before reminding them that they have all heard it dozens of times - things exploding, stars, stripes, flag - it’s all still there. ‘Hey, it’s Iron Man!’ someone calls out. ‘Go, Shellhead!’ another exclaims. ‘You rule!’ someone shouts. Iron Man lands on the field, and baseball players go over to him, as do several scantily clad women. ‘Thank you, you’re all too kind. Just another reason San Francisco is the best city in the world!’ Iron Man declares. He removes his helmet, and as Tony Stark, tells them that they have everything here. ‘House of Nanking, fog and forward-thinking, tech-savvy people.
Tony continues, pointing out that they are the kind of people who can appreciate what he is about to offer. ‘Not that eternal beauty needs a hard sell. And that’s exactly what my Extremis App will give you’ Tony claims. Tony’s image appears on the large screens in the stadium, and he remarks ‘More than just beauty, the new Extremis App can make you into your ideal self. No more being trapped in a body you’re ashamed of. Do away with the slightest imperfection. Never age!’ Tony tells everyone that you can be whoever you want - it is just a thought away. ‘This isn’t a sales pitch. The app is already installed on your smart phones - it’s totally free. People of San Francisco, I bring you, and only you, this miraculous gift’ Tony declares, as one of the scantily clad woman carries a tray with some glasses of wine over to Tony, who picks one of the glasses up.
The crowd all look at the smart devices, and Tony informs them that it is completely optional, no one has to participate if they don’t want to - but they would be crazy. ‘But, hey, some people like being imperfect’ Tony remarks. One of the men in the crowd frowns, and holds his walking cane, as Tony tells them that today is the day mankind steps closer to a bright new tomorrow. ‘If not bright, at least much better looking’. The man with the cane is Matt Murdock, he grits his teeth and wonders what Stark is doing. Tony raises one of the wine glasses, ‘Finally your outwards appearance can reflect who you are within. So without further delay - let’s get this party started!’ he shouts. Tony looks at the glass of wine, before knocking it back swiftly. ‘I missed you too, sweetheart’ he smiles at the empty glass.
Meantime, at the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning, a stage has been set up on the grounds, and several X-Men from the Jean Grey School, the renegade team and former members of the Avengers Unity Squad stand on it, before the rest of the X-Men and the student body. Ororo “Storm” Munroe stands at the podium. As headmistress of the School, she begins her address: ‘My fellow mutants, we stand together a united family. After halting yet another human attempt to eradicate our species’. Behind Storm stand Shiro “Sunfire” Yoshida, the Jean Grey from the past, Alex “Havok” Summers, Kurt “Nightcrawler” Wagner, Rogue, Kitty Pryde and Piotr Rasputin a.k.a. Colossus. Storm continues, stating that thanks to the bravery of and blood spilled by the X-Men with her, they have overcome. ‘We have defeated the human Red Skull. The man who so grotesquely defiled our dear Charles Xavier’.
Sitting among the mutants on the grounds, Anole is behind Oya who leans into Quentin Quire: ‘I thought you said you saved the day and defeated the Skull, Quentin’. ‘I did, Idie’ Quentin replies. ‘Liar’ Oya tells him.
Storm continues, remarking that they have been warned of camps like the ones they encountered in Genosha, warned that mutants would be herded up into such a ghetto. ‘But we hope for a better future, we fight for cohabitation against all evidence before us’. Storm then announces that no longer will they add to the turmoil they face, ‘We will not fight one another while the humans kill us off one at a time!’ she declares, raising her voice. Storm states that it is time the X-Men stood together. ‘That we took the initiative and strike first in the war they have waged on us’ Storm adds. Havok interjects: ‘The dream of one people united on the Earth is dead’.
Havok continues, reminding everyone that he has spent the last few years of his life fighting to bridge the gap between mutants and humans. ‘And I can tell you now - it is impossible!’ Havok exclaims, remarking that this world understands only one truth, as Magneto observes the speech from the back of the gathered mutants. Nature follows only one law - survival of the fittest!’ a voice booms, as the mutant boy called Evan Sabahnur, known as Genesis, steps from behind a curtain on the stage, his appearance now resembling that of the X-Men’s deadly foe, Apocalypse. With him is Scott “Cyclops” Summers. Magneto turns and walks away, while a certain falcon sits in a tree, watching the proceedings.
‘The X-Men have amassed an army’ Sam Wilson tells those gathered with him. ‘Apocalypse has risen. Their fury is at a fervor. War will soon be upon us’. The Hulk stands behind Sam, while Wanda Maximoff a.k.a. the Scarlet Witch stands back from them. Queen Medusa of the Inhumans sits next to Sam, while Thor stands at her side. Luke Cage and Jan van Dyne a.k.a. the Wasp are also present. Wanda tells everyone that the mutants will soon realize their folly - and that they are going to come for the Red Skull. ‘Let them come’ Thor exclaims. The Wasp tells the others that they gain nothing from war with the X-Men, and Luke reports that it doesn’t serve his interests. ‘Nor mine’ Sam agrees, before remarking that something happened on Genosha - something wonderful. He tells his companions that a fog has been lifted and he has been liberated of the terrible, lifelong affliction of putting others’ needs ahead of his own. ‘And I’ll wager the rest of you feel it is as well’ Sam adds.
‘Aye! It is a great awakening upon us - one I will fight to preserve’ Thor remarks, and Medusa explains that it is better for her fellow Inhumans that she remain unencumbered, free to do what must be done. ‘If anyone obtains the Skull, he could be used against us - our liberation undone’ she points out. ‘So we hide Red Skull?’ Hulk asks. Sam tells him that there is an easier way forward, ‘We kill him’ Sam states. Wanda, Medusa, Thor, the Wasp and Luke gather around Sam who adds ‘Once and for all. It’s the only way to ensure he can’t undo things’. Luke points out that, more than that, if there is some part of Xavier’s still in there, he would join up with the freaks, so killing him is the best way to guarantee they can’t use him against them. Sam suggests that they present it to the X-Men as an offering, an execution, for what he did to poor Xavier and the mutants. The Wasp remarks that the X-Men won’t buy that for a second. ‘No, but it’ll be  too late. Their prize gone’ Luke tells her. ‘Should they still desire war, then we will freely slaughter every one of them…they will see what it truly means to be hunted’ Thor declares.
Sam Wilson, the Hulk, Medusa, Luke, Thor, the Wasp and Wanda walk down a large corridor, where, at the end of it, Edwin Jarvis has his back to a door: ‘This is madness! This cannot actually be your solution!’ he exclaims. Sam tells Jarvis to step aside, but the elderly housekeeper declares that evil only ever begets more evil, and reminds them that the Avengers are not executioners, but the defenders of life. ‘Tell me, Jarvis, what in this world could we do hat would save more lives than killing the Red Skull?’ Sam enquires. ‘What happened the last time someone chose killing him as the solution? What psychic energies he’s actually composed of - there’s no way to know what would happen, Samuel!’ Jarvis utters. ‘We do not require your blessing, old man’ Wanda points out as she casts a hex sphere, which knocks Jarvis away from the door. ‘Let’s get this over with’ Luke mutters, as the Hulk helps Jarvis up: ‘Good friend Jarvis, am hurt? Am okay?’ the Hulk asks. ‘Thank you, Hulk, but I am not. Please - you must stop them!’ Jarvis tells the Hulk.
‘Jarvis good friend - him right  Avengers no hurt - AVENBBERS NO KILL!’ the Hulk shouts as he steps in front of the door, while Luke, Thor and the Wasp prepare to face off against him. ‘We are killing today, you giant dullard. So either step the Hel out of the way -’ Thor begins, ‘Or we’ll move you out of the way’ Luke exclaims as he punches the Hulk, knocking him backwards into the door. ‘Now just stay down, dummy’ Luke instructs the Hulk, while Thor holds the axe Jarnbjorn in his hands and suggests that there may be two dead bodies in need of burial. ‘Friends would not do that to Hulk. Would not hit Hulk. Makes Hulk sad…you wouldn’t like Hulk when Hulk is sad -’ the Hulk begins, when suddenly, his body mutates further, becoming a dark green-gray color with red markings, he shouts ‘That’s when KLUH comes out!’ ‘Hulk?’ Wanda asks. ‘Puny Hulk is gone, sweets. I’m the real deal. Ain’t born of Banner’s weak rage - I’m the Hulk’s Hulk!’ Kluh declares.
Kluh tells the Avengers and Medusa that he has been watching them, listening to their garbage for years. He declares that old Jarvis is wrong - the problem is not that they are being rotten and selfish - the problem is they ain’t half rotten enough! Kluh slams his fist to the ground, knocking the heroes about. Sam calls out to the Scarlet Witch, telling her to hit Kluh hard. ‘Whatever this Hulk within the Hulk is - I want it dead!’ he orders. ‘Yeah, now that’s the stuff what I’m looking for, Li’l Patriot! The party times! C’mon - show me something, sweetheart!’ Kluh calls out as Wanda casts a hex sphere and starts to announce that a portal to close the well source of al chaos will rend the fetid flesh from his bones - but Kluh roars ‘TRY HARDER!’ and Wanda falls backwards. ‘Taken dumps harder than you lot’ Kluh declares as he pushes Captain America into Medusa.
‘That green puke, that sad piece of “Doc Green’s” ID - all that confused idiot ever wanted was to be left alone. Me - all I want is to bathe in the blood of the innocent’. With that, Kluh breaks through the wall of Avengers Tower, leaping through the air, he boasts that he is going to rut and roll in some sweet destruction. The heroes look out of the gaping hole in the tower, ‘Uh…should we go after him?’ the Wasp asks. ‘Unless he stands in our way, let’s stay out of his’ Thor suggests, adding that Kluh is no concern of theirs. ‘This however, is…’ Sam points out as they open the door to the Red Skull’s cell. ‘Odin’s blood!’ Thor gasps as they stare into it, and find it empty. ‘The Red Skull has escaped’ Thor declares, while Jarvis, cowering on the ground, looks up at the Avengers….

Inversion: Chapter 2 - Something Clearly Went Wrong
Avengers Tower, where Spider-Man swings towards the headquarters of most of the current Avengers:
‘Hey, Spidey!’ a voice calls out, and as Spider-Man lands on the roof of the Tower, he tells the new Nova, the young hero called Sam Alexander, that “Spidey” is a bit familiar. ‘Er… I mean, Spider-Man’ Nova responds. Spider-Man shakes his finger at the young hero and declares ‘Mr Spiderton Esquire the Third is what newbies call me, son’. Nova smiles and points out that he is not totally new at this. ‘I’ve been doing this, you know, for a while now’. They walk side-by-side and Spider-Man slaps Nova on the back, ‘I’m just hazing you, Nova. It’s what the old guard does to assert dominance’ he explains, before suggesting Nova lighten up, as he has to have a sense of humor to survive the dour tone this life tends to cast. ‘Ha - okay!’ Nova replies.
As they enter a stairwell off the rooftop, Spider-Man tells Nova that the dude who wore that helmet before him was a good guy, named Richard Rider. ‘There’s a joke in there if you think of it’ Spider-Man remarks, before informing Sam that Rich left some big shoes to fill, and that Sam is doing great. ‘Wow. Thanks’ Sam replies, remarking that he is flattered the Avengers invited him. ‘I mean, this is big! Every single Avenger called to a meeting, must be important!’ ‘Such youthful eagerness’ Spider-Man points out, before telling Nova to give it time. ‘All you need is a soul-sucking symbiote or a media outlet dedicated to smearing your good name… and all that enthusiasm will fade quickly!’ Spider-Man tells the young hero as they enter a large meeting room, where a selection of Avengers are gathered. ‘We throw colorful costume parties, so it’s not all bad. Just… don’t look at the fact that we all wear brightly and frilly uniforms to closely or it’ll make us all seem like weirdos’ Spider-Man adds.
‘I think the costumes are kinda neat!’ Nova exclaims as he looks around the room, and sees the Black Widow, She-Hulk, Valkyrie and the original Spider-Woman engaged in conversation, while Cannonball and Sunspot talk to the Black Panther. Hawkeye, the latest Power Man, the Vision, the Beast, the Thing, Starbrand and the Invisible Woman are gathered together, while Mr Fantastic stretches himself up to a mezzanine where Hyperion stands. Across on another mezzanine are Young Avengers Wiccan and Hulkling. ‘Sure you do. And you’re like, what, thirteen years old? So that’s okay’ Spider-Man tells Nova, leading him over to Hawkeye. ‘But take this dude right here for example… Hawkeye’s like thirty-six and dressed up in a purple jumper!’ ‘Said the loud-mouthed man-child in the bright red leotard’ Hawkeye mutters. ‘Costume envy. He changes his every few years, while my leotard remains timeless’ Spider-Man whispers to Nova, who laughs.
The Beast tells his companions that it is trifling being on both teams. ‘Morons in both camps seeking -’ he begins, before the Vision declares ‘Enough! I tire of this one-sided conversation, McCoy’.
The Invisible Woman asks if anyone has any idea what the purpose of this meeting is, before wondering ‘Where the hell is Rogers?’ Suddenly, a voice calls out ‘Steve isn’t running this show… I am’ Sam Wilson, formerly the Falcon and currently the latest Captain America announces from another mezzanine. Flanked by Thor, Wanda Maximoff a.k.a. the Scarlet Witch, Medusa and Luke Cage, Sam tells everyone that he appreciates them all falling in line. He adds that he knows these priority alerts are inconvenient, and that they all imagine their work important, but that this problem requires immediate action. ‘The Red Skull has escaped’ Sam announces. ‘After what we went through on Genosha that’s bad news to most of you. But not all of you’.
Sam continues, revealing that security logs show someone with Avengers-level clearance accessed his cell. Sam informs the Avengers that it was the same person who erased the security footage, which leads him to believe that one of the Avengers aided the Red Skull. ‘Verily so’ Thor declares. ‘Is this a joke?’ the Black Panther enquires. ‘We shouldn’t have come here’ the Invisible Woman utters, while Sunspot asks ‘What are you talking about?’
A stern-faced Sam points at the assembled Avengers and tells them that when he became Captain America, he swore to protect everyone, including himself, ‘There are simply too many of you to determine who was responsible’ Sam points out. ‘And frankly -’ Sam begins, while Spider-Man exclaims ‘Something’s wrong!’ ‘You’re all a liability to me’ Sam Wilson declares, as he presses a button on a remote control, adding that everyone is much safer locked up in Hank Pym’s subatomic ant farm. ‘What?’ the Black Panther asks.
‘MOVE!’ Spider-Man shouts as he pushes Nova through a window, into open air, Spider-Man falls through too, as the other Avengers suddenly vanish. Spider-Man grabs Nova and fires some webbing ahead, as broken glass falls form Avengers Tower. ‘What was that? They all just disappeared! What just happened?’ Nova shouts, confused. ‘Not now, kid’ Spider-Man replies.
Suddenly, from the broken window, a voice calls out ‘I’m afraid our invitation won’t be ignored’, and long red hair wraps around Nova’s throat. Nova is pulled back to Avengers Tower by Queen Medusa, who tells Spider-Man to come back, or she will be forced to snap Nova in half. ‘Okay, this goes well beyond hazing the new kid’ Spider-Man remarks as he swings over to Medusa, telling her that he doesn’t know what she is up to, but that she is going to need seven gallons of peanut butter to get his webbing out of her hair. He shoots the webbing into Medusa’s hair, and she is forced to release Nova.
‘Go, kid - get us out of here!’ Spider-Man shouts at the young hero, who speeds through the air after Spider-Man attaches himself with webbing around Nova’s ankles. ‘Where?’ Nova asks. ‘Just not here!’ Spider-Man shouts. ‘You’re the pro - call the game plan!’ Nova retorts. ‘I don’t know! I don’t have one!’ Spider-Man shouts back. Nova speeds around the corner of a skyscraper and Spider-Man declares that a whole lot of big confusing stuff just happened in a very short amount of time. ‘Oh, man - I think every Avenger in the world got captured’ Nova remarks. ‘Nearly all’ a voice calls out, as Sam Wilson soars nearby add throws his shield, which sticks Nova in the back, causing the young hero to crash into a nearby building. ‘Guilty man’s always the first to run - so tell me where you took the Red Skull or I’ll snap your damned neck!’ Sam shouts at Spider-Man.
‘Literally the least “Captain America” line of dialogue ever’ Spider-Man replies. ‘There’s a lot more different about me-’ Sam starts to say, when suddenly, his shield is flung back at him, knocking him through the air, he crashes down to the street below. ‘Guess the shield also finds your behavior a bit out of character’ Spider-Man points out as he swings over the crash below. Then, out of the shadows of another building, wearing a darker costume than usual, the beautiful Scarlet Witch appears. ‘Wilson, what the hell is taking so long, you incompetent stooge?’ Wanda calls out. But as Wanda floats through the city, she doesn’t see Spider-Man and Nova, who are in the shadows of another building, being held by Magneto, who has his hands around their mouths. Nova struggles to speak, but Magneto tells him to be quiet, and that they would be better to avoid fighting his daughter. ‘As strange as this must seem - I am here to help’ Magneto assures them.
Back at Avengers Tower, Thor, Luke and Medusa are together, and Thor announces that the Avengers are no longer their problem, as they are all safely stored within Pym’s ant farm. Luke asks if the Wasp has been drained of all her Pym Particles. ‘Because we might need to round up the X-Men and -’ Luke begins, but Medusa interrupts him: ‘And the Inhumans? Is that what you were going to say?’ she demands. ‘So what if it was?’ Cage asks. ‘Cease this infantile display!’ the Scarlet Witch commands as she and Sam Wilson return. ‘This charlatan allowed Spider-Man and Nova to escape’ Wanda informs the others. ‘Damn. Neither of them are awakened like us - they will interfere with our plans!’ Medusa points out. ‘Our plans? We have no common interests beyond this point. Our alliance has served its purpose - I have no further use for any of you’ the Scarlet Witch declares, pink energy coursing around her. Wanda then flies out of the broken window in Avengers Tower, warning the others that if their paths cross again, she will rend their souls from their bodies. ‘Stay clear of me - for I will have my vengeance!’ Wanda declares.
Meanwhile, at Avengers Mansion:
‘Then I wake up to discover Carnage is playing hero. But it gets better when I’m called to Avengers Tower for some big, fun news - which turns out to be a ruse by a crew of scowling Avengers to imprison all the other Avengers!’ Spider-Man explains to Steve Rogers and his adoptive son, the latest Nomad. Nova sits nearby, as Spider-Man informs Steve and Nomad that he and Nova tried to politely sneak away, and the All-New, All-Bloodthirsty Captain America tries to kill them - but all is well because Magneto shows up to save them. ‘And you’ll never guess who Magneto’s working with! Geriatric Steve Rogers and his new pal -’ Spider-Man exclaims, throwing his hands into the air. Steve introduces his son, Ian. ‘Of course! Your son. Sure, why not. Pleasure to meet you’ Spider-Man mutters, shaking Nomad’s hand, he asks if Nomad is going to kill him as well. ‘Or are you guys like the New Astonishing Avengers, dedicated to not going crazy?’ Spider-Man asks.
Magneto reports that it is not just the Avengers, for the X-Men have gone mad as well. ‘Good. Perfect. The hits keep coming’ Spider-Man mutters. Magneto informs the others that during the battle on Genosha, Rogue saw something of Charles Xavier inside the Red Onslaught, and Doom and the Scarlet Witch cast order and chaos energy onto Onslaught hoping to invert the personalities, to bring Xavier out. ‘But something clearly went wrong’ Steve points out, adding that everyone who was on that island has had his or her basic alignment inverted. ‘This just keeps getting better and better! Dogs and cats living together - mass hysteria!’ Spider-Man shouts. ‘You mean every good guy on that island is now bad? And every bad guy is now…’ Nova’s voice trails off, as Magneto smiles and concludes ‘Good’. Steve switches on a monitor, which depicts an explosion in a city, and announces that it gets worse. ‘Eager to hear how that’s possible’ Spider-Man remarks as Steve reports that he picked this up just before they arrived.
On screen, the Hulk can be seen rampaging. Fire rages around him and he holds two cars overhead. Steve points out that the change was a bit more visible with the Hulk, as the inversion effect released the Hulk’s Hulk, and five minutes ago he began a rampage across Arizona. ‘Highly out of our league, but we’ll find a way to stop him’ Steve asserts. ‘We have to stop the Hulk’s Hulk? What’s next, Steve? Feeding a catheter into Galactus? Spider-Man asks. A reporter on screen states that Channel 5 is on scene as the monster continues his rampage, adding that property damage alone will reach the billions. ‘Ya find this interesting, little man?’ Kluh asks. ‘Pissants drawn to the stench of my party-time frenzy. Kluh turns to the camera man, and tells him to keep filming, as he is going to give him a sweet show before he squishes him. ‘Anyone watching worth fighting - I start killing until someone stops me!’ Kluh announces. ‘You hear me, “heroes” - I’m calling you out!’ Kluh roars.
Suddenly, ‘You want a fight - you got one!’ the young Nova smiles as he appears in Arizona. Spider-Man, Steve, Magneto and Nomad see Nova on the screen. ‘How did he do that?’ Nomad asks. ‘WHY did he do that?’ Spider-Man wonders, shaking his head. ‘I don’t know. But he’s about to wish he hadn’t’ Steve tells the others, before suggesting they get to the Quinjet, as they need to help him. Suddenly, an alarm sounds. ‘Hey, it’s a loud alert sound! We were due for some bad news’ Spider-Man mutters. The aged Steve Rogers explains that it is a perimeter warning, meaning something is nearby. ‘Be ready for anything’ Steve tells his companions as they rush up some stairs, but when they reach the rooftop, ‘Even prepped, I’m not ready for whatever that is’ Spider-Man declares as they look up and see the Ship of Apocalypse towering over the city. ‘That is the doom I feared most. Apocalypse is upon us’ Magneto announces.
On a balcony of Ship, overlooking the city, Storm, Havok, Cyclops and Nightcrawler stand alongside the mutant Genesis, who recently transformed into the new Apocalypse, while Sunfire and Rogue hover nearby. Fists clenched, the new Apocalypse declares ‘They have turned inward, eating each other like starving rats…exactly as you predicted, Havok’. Frowning, Havok replies that the Avengers have never failed to disappoint him. Apocalypse remarks that it was not worth the fight on Genosha, but now, while they are splintered, it is time. ‘Get the Red Skull’ he commands.
Back in Avengers Tower, Sam Wilson pours a drink into a small glass and states that democracy has failed. ‘We gave it a try. Let the idiots do everything by vote. Just look what it’s gotten us, Wasp’ he tells the Wasp, who is strapped to a chair, energy beams going into her head, a blank look across her face, as Wilson’s bird, Redwing, sits on a chair nearby. Sam continues: ‘Murderers and thieves running free, corruption and industry poisoning the world… it’s a mess out there’. But he boasts that that is all about to come to an end, thanks to her generous donation of Pym Particles. He smiles and declares that he can shrink down anyone in his way, claiming it is the most humane solution, that no one need to die to bring order. Sam tells the unmoving Wasp that the world needs to be directed by one voice, one strong man to sort it all out - to guide the herd. ‘The world demands a tyrant, Janet. And who better than I?’ Sam asks, about to drink from the small glass, when someone asks ‘Was that rhetorical?’
Storm leads Cyclops, Havok, Rogue, Nightcrawler and Sunfire into the room, and Cyclops announces that they might have another option in mind. ‘Look at this opulent tower - some fancy digs you swine have here. Fascism days, ja?’ Nightcrawler remarks. Rogue rubs her hands together and tells Sam that they do appreciate him clearing out the other Avengers, as it makes the domination by the X-Men so much easier. Storm informs Sam Wilson that if he wishes to survive, he should deliver the Red Skull to them now. ‘Wait - what the hell - Janet?’ Havok gasps as he sees the Wasp strapped to the chair. ‘You dare touch my wife?’ he shouts, firing a blast which sends Sam Wilson careening backwards through the room. Cyclops instructs Nightcrawler to collect the Skull, but Sam claims that the Skull is locked up tight. ‘So unless you gene freaks want me to detonate his cell, you’ll -’ Sam begins, but before he can fling his shield, Nightcrawler materializes above him and grabs it. ‘No Red Skull’ Nightcrawler declares, suggesting that they move to the next item on today’s agenda: ‘Killing the rest of you’ he exclaims as one of his swords slices Sam across his chest.
When Storm fires a blast of lightning at Sam though, he dodges it, ‘Nice try, Weather Witch!’ Sam declares as he knocks Storm aside. ‘Oops, hit the wrong gal, sweetness’ Rogue grins as Sam tries to punch her, but she doesn’t even flinch. ‘I can take your mind off that broken hand’ Rogue adds as she kicks Sam in his stomach, then picks up the large table and holds it overhead, as Sam has dropped to his knees. ‘You’ve held the status quo together for a good run,. But all empires fail’ Rogue points out, adding that today ends the era of human domination, as she slams the table down onto Sam’s back. Suddenly, ‘Enough! I need him alive!’ Apocalypse declares. He marches over to Sam while Cyclops taps at some monitors and reports that the Red Skull is gone. ‘Either they moved him or -’ he begins, but Apocalypse remarks that he will resurface, and when he does, the Red Skull will side with them.
Apocalypse picks Sam up from the ground and holding him up by his throat declares ‘Captain, you will deliver a message to your flock’. Sam gasps for breath, and Apocalypse instructs him to tell the human filth that they have three hours to vacate his island. ‘Manhattan is the first prize of the mutant uprising’ Apocalypse boasts. ‘Why…?’ Sam asks. Drawing blood as he punches Sam in the face, Apocalypse tells him ‘Because it is important to you’. He slams his fist into Sam once more and declares that the mutants are going to take away everything that the humans ever cared about. Havok puts the motionless Wasp onto his shoulder, while Apocalypse announces that the rightful heirs of this world have come for what is owed. ‘New York is ours’ he asserts, boasting that any human found here in three hours will be slaughtered. Apocalypse readies for another punch, ‘Tell them, good Captain. Tell them all - the Apocalypse is upon you!’

Inversion: Chapter 3 – Awakened Like Us
There is darkness all around, as a commanding voice is projected: 'Humans of Earth – I am APOCALYPSE. Heed my words, for this is your last warning'. Apocalypse reports that in the past week they have ejected countless armed forces attempting to reclaim the New Mutant Capital, Manhattan, and while there have been no casualties up until this point, that will end as of today. He declares that they will no longer expel the armies – his X-Men will slaughter them outright. 'Manhattan is ours – be grateful it is all we've taken'. Apocalypse announces that what they will take, how soon they take it and how many lives are lost depends on how well the humans listen. 'The mutant nation is born. No longer willing to stand by as you dictate our fate to us. We will no longer genuflect, patiently hoping for peaceful cohabitation with you savage mongrels. We are simply taking our piece. The question isn't if we will win the war – the question before you, after such grave mistreatment of mutantkind – is can you persuade us to leave any of you alive'.
From inside Ship, Apocalypse, once the child called Genesis, ends the transmission and turns to Alex “Havok” Summers, asking him how the broadcast was received. Havok informs Apocalypse that there have been numerous attempts at negotiations from the President and other world leaders. 'Let them soak in terror' Apocalypse replies.
Accompanied by Scott “Cyclops” Summers, the enter another part of Ship, where Clan Akkaba attendants are busying themselves at a large machine. Apocalypse points out that with no Avengers, they won't risk a further escalation, not soon. 'By the time they find their nerve – it will be too late' he points out, before standing in from of the large machine and addressing it as the gene bomb, he asks about its status. Cyclops reports that it will be completed in a matter of hours. Apocalypse remarks that for centuries the Akkaba dreamed of such a thing, and now, working together, they have completed it in a matter of days.
Suddenly, Jean Grey from the past enters. 'Lord Apocalypse – there's a matter that demands your attention. A lone intruder' she announces. 'Who would be so stupid?' Cyclops wonders, unaware that Victor “Sabretooth” Creed watches from a ledge above them. Jean Grey reports that it is Mystique, assuming that she snuck past the perimeter guards, and now she is out front, demanding counsel. 'Then she will have it.. .I know precisely the ambassadors to send' Apocalypse replies.
Indeed, outside Ship, which towers over Manhattan, whose streets are now empty, Raven Darkholme a.k.a. Mystique calls out to the X-Men, telling them that the toad they walk will lead only to ruin. 'A war that will burn the world down! Please hear me!' she shouts. Suddenly, there is a BAMF, and Kurt “Nightcrawler” Wagner teleports himself and Rogue in front of their mother. 'Kurt's right, “Mom”!' Rogue smirks. Kurt asks Mystique why she wishes to stop them, as they have accomplished all that she dreamed of and that she was incapable of. Mystique tells her children that she did not come here for a fight, simply to talk. 'Ya hear that, Kurt? She wants to talk' Rogue remarks, pressing her fingers together. Armed with a sword, Kurt replies that this cannot be the same woman who raised Rogue to join the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and abandoned him to death. 'You know what I say is right' Mystique tells her children, pointing out that joining Apocalypse, taking Manhattan and waging this war, they will undo the peace Charles Xavier fought for in one swift stroke. 'You misunderstand us, “Mother”' Kurt replies, as he extends his sword, cutting Mystique's cheek and drawing blood.
'We've given up on peace' Rogue announces, grabbing Mystique, she flies her into the air, 'Just like you always taught' Rogue adds. Rogue grabs Mystique by her throat, 'Gonna be a hoot!' she smiles, boasting that they are going to deal with the humans, the same way the humans dealt with them. Rogue then releases her grip on Mystique, and the frigtened woman starts to plummet to the concrete jungle below. 'No room for peaceniks in our club' Rogue calls out – but as Mystique nears certain doom, Sabretooth leaps across the rooftops of several buildings and grabs his off-on associate.
'It's okay' Creed tells her, as he lands safely, arms around Mystique. 'They've gone mad, Creed -' Mystique declares. 'You don't know the half of it' Creed replies, leaping up as Rogue swoops down in an attempt to strike them both, but she misses. Nightcrawler teleports over to Mystique and Sabretooth, but as Rogue swings around for another fly-by, Creed kicks Nightcrawler into her, 'Sad to see you go, dark Nightcrawler' Creed remarks, and as he carries Mystique down an alleyway, adds that Nightcrawler was the one person on Earth who gave Logan hope in mankind. 'And you were the one who most took it away, Sabretooth' Nightcrawler calls out as he teleports into the alley, Rogue flying alongside him. 'Gone. The old Morlock Tunnels' Kurt realizes as he looks at an open sewer cover. Rogue tells Kurt that it is almost ironic, Sabretooth using the Morlock Tunnels to hide from them.
Meanwhile, in San Francisco, at the new headquarters of Stark Industries, Tony “Iron Man” Stark is having a party. A number of scantily clad women parade around him, everyone is drinking, including Stark. 'No, no, I'm not taking public offering, you delightful girl' Stark remarks, adding that the people of San Francisco have voted – the Extremis App is a hit, and it is going to be worth more than anything else – ever! 'I love it, Mr Stark. I've never looked better' a woman in a bikini grins as she takes a selfie of herself. 'I set my payments to automatic!' another calls out. 'Worth every penny' a blonde woman comments, while Stark tells the woman at his side that he is a smart dealer – first taste for free. 'Public's hooked – not the real money – in APP purchases' Stark excplains. 'Uh-huh' the woman at his side replies, sipping her drink. 'Oh, look, I'm boring you – and your idiot shirt is killing my buzz – so off you go' Stark tells the woman, who is wearing a large sports shirt off-the-shoulder. Tony walks away from the woman, and a voice calls out to him 'Got some bad news, Stark – I'm shutting this down'.
Tony looks up and sees an unimpressed man dressed in red standing on a ledge. 'Speaking of buzzkill! Matt! Or not Matt, or Daredevil, or whatever you want to go by – open-minded kind of party' Tony tells Matt Murdock a.k.a. Daredevil. Daredevil steps down onto the same level as Stark. 'Join in, sourpuss. Extremis is on the house' Stark explains. 'Take care of that whole ginger thing you were cursed with' he remarks. 'You're drinking again' Matt points out, ignoring Tony's comments. 'Why twelve steps when this one step is so much easier? So much more -' Tony begins, holding his glass of wine out in front of Matt, who knocks it away, causing it to shatter on the ground, spiling the champagne over the ground. '-fun' Tony concludes, while Matt asks him if he wants to fall off the wagon, then that is his choice. 'I've spent the last week fighting a crime wave of your making – your product! People doing anything they have to fot it!' Daredevil declares, pointing at Tony, who smirks and replies 'Yeah'.
Tony continues, 'Sorry, Karl Marx, but that's how Capitalism works. Great products become so popular that the lower classes resort to crime to pay for them. How is that any different from a nice car or a plasma television screen?' Tony asks. 'YOU KNOW DAMNED WELL WHY IT'S DIFFERENT!' Daredevil shouts, pushing Tony backwards.
Tony lands on the ground and mutters that he was enjoying this party better before Daredevil showed up. 'I'm going to have to invite youto leave' one of Tony's armors calls out as it flies towards Daredevil, who leaps up, dodging it. 'A man who prefers arguing to drinks and women – most lawyers like all three' the Iron Man armor comments, firing a repulsor blast at Daredevil, who once again leaps out of the way. 'You've lost your mind' Daredevil tells Tony, shoving his staff against the armor. 'No. I've finally found it' Tony replies as he rushes towards Daredevil, as his armor falls backwards. 'Fast, right?' he asks as he wraps his hands around Daredevil's throat, then shoves his knee into Daredevil's stomach. 'It's not just the armor you have to watch out for these days, Matthew'. Tony holds Daredevil over the edge of the balcony they are fighting on, 'I get that you're upset, buddy. I won't hold this little outburst against you. You know you're always welcome, but if you do come back... coat check the attitude' Tony declares as he tosses Daredevil off the balcony, out over the water.
Meanwhile, in Latveria, Dr Doom stands on a tower overlooking his kingdom and addresses the citizens who have gathered below, announcing that he has done his utmost to guide Latveria to a brighter tomorrow. 'I lie I have told myself my entire life. I have used this nation. Exploited her resources for my purposes. Imperiled her. You all' Doom confesses, before informing his citizens that is changing, that the burden of a great bleakness in his soul is gone – and the egotism that drove him with it. Doom puts his fingers to his mask and tells his citizens that he is not above them, that he is flawed and imperfect, and that under the eyes of God, merely a man. 'I am done hiding. Look upon my true face and see in it your brother' he tells them, to the sound of several gasps resonating from the shocked crowd. Doom replaces the mask and announces that Latveria is henceforth a democracy.
Suddenly, a voice calls out 'If Latveria is what you love most – you will live to see it burn'. It is Wanda Maximoff a.k.a. The Scarlet Witch, who attacks the tower with a surge of energy, knocking Doom into the air. 'You used me. Manipulated my powers. Turned the world against me!' Wanda screams.
Doom retaliates by firing a surge of energy at Wanda, blasting her into another tower, xplaining that he seeks redemption, but that he will not be lying down. Blood trickles from Wanda's nose, 'Redemption? So it is penance you seek? To pay for your crimes? If that is your wish...I can be accomodating' Wanda replies, hovering in the air, turning her attention to Doom's citizens, she asks the monarch if he would imperil himself to save his denizens. 'Don't -!' Doom cries out. 'Years of my life hunted and despised by the mutants! Years in hiding – blamed for their decline!' Wanda shouts, casting forth her energies, which strike Doom as he steps in front of several women. 'You will regret using me as your proxy!' Wanda warns Doom, who attempts to resist the energies – until the explode, and he falls to the now broken ground beneath him. 'You will be dead, but your soul will remain imprisoned for eternity. Eternity watching – as my rage covers this world in a black plague!' Wanda exclaims, ready to cast forth more energies at Doom, but he vanishes. 'He's gone? Who dares interfere?' an unimpressed Wanda demands.
'Okay, I did it. I'm not entirely sure why I did it, but I did it' Pietro “Quicksilver” Maximoff exclaims as he speeds along several rooftops towards his and Wanda's father, Magneto, carrying Doom's motionless body. Magneto tells Pietro that they cannot allow his sister ot kill Doom, as she would never recover from it. Magneto then asks 'Where is Wanda?' 'The land of furious super evil' Quicksilver replies, adding that whatever has possessed her, it is no good and it is down deep. 'Deeper than you know' Wanda cals out as she appears overhead – and instantly, Magneto and Quicksilver clutch at their own throats, as Wanda levitates them and Doom into the air. 'You have made the last mistake of your lives in standing with this filth' Wanda grins and begins to cast some energies forth, asking what else she could expect from her “family”?
In Las Vegas, 'Snake eyes, lucky snake eyes. The shirtless gentleman wins again' a somewhat nervous casino employee remarks as Thor pulls a lot of money towards him on the casino table. Several women smile and clap as they watch, while a voice calls out 'I've seen this game before, brother... I think they're letting you win'.
It is Loki, who stands with his arms folded and adds that he thinks it might have something to do with that massive axe resting on the table. 'Begone' Thor tells his brother. Loki points out that Thor has done fairly well for himself, and asks as to where he got the money for such a large wager. Thor knocks back some beer, while pointing at a large gaping hole in a wlla that leads to a now broken-into vault. 'Again, I'm not sure that's quite how a casino works' Loki smirks. 'It's how this one works' Thor replies as he picks up the die and tosses them down the table. Loki points out that Mjolnir could help clear whatever evil fogs Thor's mind, but Thor reveals that he left that cursed relic on the moon. 'I am unworthy – gladly so' he adds. Loki touches Thor's shoulder and tells him that he has had too much to drink. 'Come with me before you completely tarnish what is left of your reputa-' Loki begins, but Thor raises his arm and smacks Loki away, 'Dare not touch me' he declares, drawing blood.
Thor picks up the axe, Jarnbjorn and moves towards his brother, 'Why do you pester me, little shadow?' he asks. 'Why do you continue to nip at my ankle?' Loki explains that he is currently incapable of lying, so as much as it pains him, he is going to tell the truth – he is trying to help him, because he loves him. Thor responds by charging towards his brother, as Loki points out 'You've always been there to try and turn me towards the light. Now it is my turn to return the favor'. But Thor collides with Loki and tells him that his love is misplaced, as they charge through the outer wall of the casino, Thor punches his brother in the face and tells him that he feels only disgust for him. 'I... I won't fight you... look into your heart, brother... a terrible plague is upon you' Loki declares.
Ready to inflict another punch, Thor tells his brother that he is the only affliction that haunts him – but before he strikes his blow, a jet speeds past above them, 'You boys need a time-out. Consider this a free intervention from your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man!' Peter Parker a.k.a. Spider-Man jokes as he shoots some webbing, which latches on to Loki, and pulls him up into the air, away from Thor. 'We're not done' Loki calls out to Thor. 'Bah' Thor mutters, before heading back into the casino.
Avengers Mansion:
'We have to do something! They've all gone extremely crazy. I've gone extremely crazy! I just told my brother I love him... I shudder to think about the repercussions of that maneuver' Loki exclaims as he follows Spider-Man, Steve Rogers and his son, the new Nomad, out of the jet. 'Will one of you please tell me what is going on?' Loki asks.
Spider-Man informs him that the Avengers have all gone loco, the X-Men have taken over New York and every other hero on Earth has been shrunken to subatomic size and imprisoned. 'So, you know, Tuesday' Spider-Man jokes. 'So we're it? We've got no one left to help us stop the X-Men and the Avengers?' Loki enquires. But the aged Steve Rogers informs Loki that is not entirely true, as there were others on Genosha, the ones that Loki arrived with. 'The inversion hit them as well' Nomad points out. 'Are you suggesting with bring together all of the villains who were on Genosha to form a new Avengers?' Loki asks. 'No...' Steve replies as he presses a panel which opens a door, 'I'm saying I already did' he announces, as Sabretooth and Mystique are revealed, along with the Enchantress, Hobgoblin, Jack O'Lantern, Carnage and the Absorbing Man.
'This... this seems... unwise' Loki declares, throwing his hands behind his head. Steve Rogers points out that in times of great turmoil, sometimes the only strategy left is the one they like the least. 'I'm a good'un now, son. Ya'll can count on it!' the maniac called Carnage grins. Loki suggests that, combined, they might be able to take down his drunken brother, to which Sabretooth declares that Thor isn't the priority. He announces that Apocalypse and the X-Men have gone totally off the reservation, that he infiltrated that damn tower and what he saw was no good. Sabretooth explains that the X-folk are looking to end the war permanently, that they have a DNA bomb that will flash-fry everyone who hasn't got an x-gene. He reports that they are the only ones who know about it, and frowns as he reports that they have only got an hour to stop them....
