The World Still Needs…the Champions!
On the UCLA
campus, new students Bobby Drake and Warren Worthington meet and agree that
college life isn’t what they expected. Suddenly, a portal opens up in the air
and harpies emerge, attacking everyone in sight. Bobby and Warren become the
ex-X-Men Iceman and Angel and fight back against the invaders….Elsewhere on
campus, Natasha Romanoff and her mentor Ivan Petrovich wait in a classroom as
Natasha is applying for the position of Russian language teacher. Suddenly, a
portal opens up there and a band of Amazonian warriors emerges, looking for
Venus; Ivan fights them but he is quickly overcome. Humanities professor Dr.
Victoria Starr enters the room and is recognized as the goddess Venus. Natasha
has by this time donned her Black Widow outfit and is fighting to protect
Venus. The Widow seizes her charge and swings her outdoors and away on a cord….Johnny Blaze is
riding his motorcycle near the UCLA campus when he notices the commotion. He
rides over to investigate and the presence of danger causes him to transform
into the Ghost Rider. He is confronted by an armored giant calling himself
Cerberus. A blast of hellfire makes the giant decide to turn into a giant
(one-headed) purple dog and pursue Ghost Rider….
At the school
auditorium, Hercules has arrived, hired to lecture on Mythology by agent
Richard Fenster. Another portal opens and a gang of mutates emerges to attack
Herc and he responds, causing such mayhem that they crash through a wall and
outside where Ghost Rider spots him. GR rescues Herc, after a hasty explanation
that he’s a good guy. They come upon the harpies and the Amazons pursuing
Venus, Black Widow, and the two ex-X-Men. Herc punches out his old enemy
Cerberus, GR blasts hellfire at the harpies, Iceman freezes out the Amazons,
Angel lifts Venus high into the air where she overcomes the mutates with love
power. As the disparate heroes stop to try to figure out what is going on, another
portal opens and they are all blasted into weakness. Pluto, Lord of the Underworld,
accompanied by Ares and Hippolyta, conveys a message from Zeus that Venus must
wed Ares and Hercules marry Hippolyta or the universe dies….

In the wake of the assassination of Miriam Sharpe, hostilities between the Iron (ruled by Tony Stark) and the Blue (led by Steve Rogers) are nearing a breaking point. Tony sends a drone aircraft into the Blue to trail the shooter. The drone is intercepted by Storm, who utters a challenge then disables the craft with lightning. She takes the debris to Steeltown where she turns it over to Colossus, who removes the brain to send to Steve. He and Magneto turn the drone into a huge cannonball and launch it all the way to Stark’s capital Resilient Alpha where it hits Tony’s window with the message, “Next time, it’s a Hulk!” This gives him an idea: he calls She-Hulk and informs her that there seems to be a mystery agent playing the two sides against each other. He dispatches her on an undercover mission into the Blue….

Meanwhile, Peter Parker tries to nag Steve into acting against the incursion; Steve counsels patience. They head to Hank McCoy’s lab where he is testing Project Bellcurve, a device which can de-power superhumans. It works successfully on the Sandman, removing his gritty abilities. The problem is, that the resources required to activate the device are scarce, in fact, they can only be found in the Iron. Peter assembles a commando team to go in and locate this element: Elektra, Black Panther (Azari), and Venom (see Comments). They parachute in under cover of night—and are immediately attacked by giant Sentinels which resemble Iron Man….

Elsewhere, Jennifer Walters (in disguise) applies for entry to Steeltown; her forged papers do the trick—but there is one thing Tony did not foresee: a psychic scan, performed by none other than Professor Xavier himself….

During the Civil War and the battle between the forces of Captain America and Iron Man in the Negative Zone, things start to go differently. Black Panther, trying to open a portal back to the real world, discovers that a self-destruct system has been triggered. He stays to buy time while Cloak tries to draw as many people as possible into his cape. But he isn’t fast enough to close the portal: the destruction of the inter-dimensional prison lays waste to most of New York. With Captain American and Iron Man each believing that the destruction was on the orders of the other one, they refuse to be reconciled….

Now, many years later, the United States is divided into two nations: to the East is The Iron where law and order reigns, exemplified by Ms Marvel coming upon a girl trying out powers of flight for the first time, lecturing her on safety and responsibility and making sure she is schooled in the use of her newfound powers. To the West is The Blue, a libertarian state full of self-governing communities, where Stature discovers a kid with blast powers and encourages him to consider using them for something good before wandering off.

Now, Miriam Sharpe, mother of a child killed in the Stamford Incident, is arranging a peace conference between Tony Stark and Steve Rogers, optimistic that reconciliation can be achieved. Steve arrives with his aide Peter Parker, Tony with She-Hulk. As they meet outside the conference room in neutral territory, Tony has brought Mary Jane Watson-Parker and her daughter Maybelle for a reunion with Peter. Meeting at the conference table, with Miriam to act as mediator, Tony reveals that The Iron is becoming over-populated and he wants a land grant from The Blue; in return Steve’s nation will be recognized by other countries as now it is considered a rogue state. The talk quickly turns bitter as old animosities and mistrust come to the fore. Suddenly a sniper’s bullet pierces the window, fatally striking Miriam Sharpe. Steve calls Peter to search for the assassin but Peter with his mechanical wings can only recover the rifle. The truce broken, Steve determines that the shot was really meant for him—and that Tony must know who fired it. The two leaders part ways and another war seems in the offing….

Project Bellcurve is ready to be activated; Steve Rogers
turns pensive as his plan to end the civil war is about to be realized….
Tony Stark dons his Iron Man armor and leaves Bucky Barnes in
charge as he jets off to the Divide in search of the captured She-Hulk. He
enters the caverns where Shulkie is being held and is shot down by anti-aircraft
fire….
Meanwhile, the forces of the Blue, lead by Captain America,
cross the Divide onto the Iron side. And Cap delivers a stirring speech
presenting the invasion as the only hope of ending the six-year-long war to
create a peaceful land for their children….
Tony Stark is a prisoner of T’Challa, the supposedly dead Black
Panther. The baddie reveals that he was setting Steve and Tony against each
other, weakening the country so that he could conquer—and now the final battle
is about to begin. Tony uses electrical powers taken from the Thor clone and
zaps the Panther, shocking him into his real form, the Skrull Empress Veranke.
Tony and the freed She-Hulk defeat the Skrull minions but that is not a
long-term solution to the problem….
Meanwhile a superhero/military battle rages overhead, and
Cap continues with his plan to de-power the enemy heroes. To lure them into
range of the Bellcurve device, Cap drives a tank out into enemy territory and
calls on the Iron heroes to come and get him….

A team from the Blue, led by Peter Parker, has entered the
Iron to obtain valuable resources for Project Bellcurve; they are caught by a
cadre of Sentinels who kill Elektra. Peter twists one of the machine’s arms
around so the Sentinel blasts its own head off. Parker has to force Black
Panther (Azari) to continue the mission while Venom takes the time to recover
Daredevil’s billy club from Elektra’s corpse….
Jennifer Walters, attempting to enter Steeltown in the Blue
incognita, is mind-scanned by Professor Xavier and he confirms her (false)
identity. As she muses on that odd event she is recognized by an aged Robbie
Baldwin, Speedball…. Back in the Iron capital, Resilient Alpha, a pensive Tony
Stark asks Bucky Barnes if he thinks he (Tony) has failed. Bucky calls Tony the
best hope for preserving America.

After fighting a gang of robot guards, Peter Parker and his
team locate King Ock—some years earlier, Kingpin has removed Dr. Octopus’ metal
arms and stuck them on his own body; the arms, resenting this, fried Kingpin’s
brain and now the arms, bonded to Wilson Fisk’s corpse, design high tech for
the Iron. The monster knows they are there and attacks, they barely manage to
survive before Venom uses the billy club to smash Kingpin’s head in….
Jen Walters finally locates the killer of Miriam Sharpe
(issue #1) and it is Bullseye, who was always the chief suspect. Before she can
do anything, however, she is confronted by Robbie Baldwin, now a member of the
Punishers, the fearsome police force in the Blue. Jen instantly transforms into
She-Hulk, smacks down Baldwin and escapes; she is
blasted with advanced weaponry by more Punishers but (apparently) gets away….
Back in the Blue, Peter Parker turns over the desired
materials to Hank McCoy, mentioning that the mission cost them Elektra’s life….
Elsewhere Jen Walters finds herself in a sealed containment
tube, facing the Black Panther, T’Challa, who is supposed to have died in the
disaster six years earlier….

This issue describes a trial with accompanying flashbacks. Sometimes 1 side is just a single panel, so I have simplified the timejumps.Matt Murdock is the prosecuting lawyer. Carol Danvers is giving evidence of how as Captain Marvel she led a superhero group to confront Bruce Banner at his 'secret' lab. (Tony Stark is called as a prosecution witness partway through, but then we unrealistiscally alternate them.)Bruce has been 'cured' of being Hulk (since Totally Awesome Hulk #1) but in the fb CM is worried that Banner is dabbling with gamma rays and genetic manipulation. Tony Stark joins her without his Iron Man armour (mandated by CM because of his kidnapping of the Inhuman Ulysses last issue) and they lead Bruce outside where he sees a whole gathering of superhumans.CM explains that Ulysses (who is there) gets warning visions from the future. (Stark interjects that it's only a possible future.) Each of those visions has come true but his warnings have enabled the heroes to avert the disasters. His latest vision (last issue) was of Hulk killing them all. But the super-community is split. Some follow CM wanting to intervene to stop the crises before they start. Others agree with IM that they should just prepare to deal with the crises if they happen ........ or at least get proof that they are going to happen. Cue Beast who has sneaked into Banner's lab while they were talking and discovered that he's been injecting himself with dead gamma cells. Both sides now accuse Bruce of trying to become the Hulk again. Despite his protests that he has actually been keeping Hulk at bay Maria Hill of SHIELD arrests him.Banner starts to get angry. And an arrow pierces his brain, killing him.In the fb Hawkeye gives himself up, and in the present we learn that it is Clint Barton on trial not Bruce Banner.A different fb shows Banner coming to Barton saying that he dreams of being Hulk on a rampage. Every time he has to check the news to be sure it didn't happen, and he dreads the day when he'll find it was real. Bruce gives Clint a special arrow tip that will kill him, and tells him to use it if he ever starts to transform.In the present Hank McCoy testifies that he found evidence that Banner created the arrow, and a video diary confirming Barton's story. And Clint says he saw Bruce's eyes turning green. Danvers claims that Barton's action saved many lives. But Stark, distraught at losing another friend due to Ulysses' predictions, says it's still murder. (And the fb repeats this disagreement, and shows other heroes taking sides.)Later the jury reach a verdict. Tony Stark tells Mary Jane Watson he doesn't need to hear it because he knows what it will be. The AI Friday interrupts to say that she's analysed Ulysses' brain (recorded last issue) and she knows how his visions work. She shows them the future.

Medusa, Crystal, Gorgon and Karnak have returned to New Attilan to see Ulysses about his expanded power (that reached out in #5 to the Triskelion and showed the assembled forces a vision of Spider-Man (Miles Morales) standing bloody-handed over the body of Captain America (Steve Rogers) before a ruined Capitol building). They suggest he should go to the Ultimates for more tests. But the precog is caught up in another vision.Ulysses is experiencing a desert environment where he's attacked by a green man until an old man with claws intervenes and rips the attacker apart. The man explains that the bad guy was a descendant of the Hulk, but doesn't confirm that he is Wolverine.But he's confused when the kid asks him what year it is. Ulysses tells him his name and that he's an Inhuman. Logan says that all the Inhumans quit the planet years ago, and this desert is Jersey. When Ulysses asks what happened to the world Logan blames Tony Stark. The Inhuman tries to get the old man to explain in more detail but all he gets before the vision fades is that "He pushed her too far".Back in the present Ulysses assumes that 'her' means Captain Marvel. He tells Medusa they've got to stop CM and Iron Man fighting over his precog abilities.Spider-Miles is standing in front of the not-ruined Capitol surrounded by police with their guns drawn - on live TV.Captain Marvel is conferring with Maria Hill in a SHIELD helicarrier about the Spider-situation. They can't afford to have a superhero fight on the Capitol steps. And they can't afford to have Spidey kill Cap on TV and then have to admit they were warned it was going to happen. Hill wants to grab SM but Carol Danvers knows he won't be easy to catch. She gets Maria to call off the cops - she's sure Spidey will turn himself in.The police reluctantly pull back. And Captain America shows up. Miles and Steve agree that they're here to prove the prediction false. But Spidey says that Ulysses' predictions always lead to a major death (an exaggeration - it's only happened twice, War Machine and Hulk). He doesn't think Cap's going to die because he's survived for a long time (but that's included at least 2 'deaths', 3 if the end of the multiverse before Secret Wars III counts) - but he's not so sure about himself.Captain Marvel joins them. She wants to defuse the situation by taking Spidey away for his own safety - with his permission. But when she approaches him she finds he's surrounded by a forcefield. Both she and Miles think the other is causing it. Until Carol realises it must be Iron Man.Tony reveals himself in a War Machine-style armour and attacks with a blast of power like the 1 he defeated her with in #5. But Blue Marvel has proofed her against that now. They clash violently until CM delivers a devastating power-blow through Stark's armoured chest.

Last issue Iron Man sent Nightcrawler to rescue Alison Green from Captain Marvel's custody. Ms Green had been arrested on the basis of 1 of Ulysses' precog visions but there was no corroborative evidence. This has led to a confrontation on the roof of the Triskelion building between massed supporters of the 2 sides. And this is what they used to call a 'big battle issue'.Iron Man has the ANAD Avengers, Captain America (Steve Rogers), Dr Strange, Hawkeye (Kate Bishop), Luke Cage, Old Man Logan, Riri Williams (a new Iron Man) and some X-Men. Captain Marvel has Alpha Flight, the Guardians Of The Galaxy, the Ultimates and some other X-Men. And in New Attilan Medusa calls Karnak from training Ulysses and they assemble some Inhumans to go help CM.Carol Danvers and Tony Stark fight each other. But IM has prepared a special weapon which takes CM out of the action.Dr Strange fights Storm's X-Men.Luke Cage tackles Blue Marvel, but it's only a set-up so Nova can zap BM. But BM shakes it off and chases Nova into space.Maria Hill holds unconscious Marvel Girl (who's been taken down by means unknown) and organises the evacuation of the Triskelion.Sasquatch brings down Logan while Hawkeye fights Aurora.And there's lots more going on in the background, including Thor fighting Gamora.Various people watch/hear confused news reports:- Matt Murdock in his office, Peter Parker coming out of a shower, Mary Jane Watson in Stark International HQ and Hawkeye (Clint Barton) in the wilderness. Then back to the fight.Magik sends Cap (Sam Wilson) through a stepping disk to Hollywood, and then gets clocked by an arrow.Rocket Raccoon is enjoying himself until he gets a flying kick from Spider-Man (Miles Morales), who is then attacked by RR's teammate Venom (Flash Thompson). Flash is angry at this Spidey-impersonator, but Miles shuts him up with a venom-blast in the mouth.Star-Lord (Peter Quill) is fighting Cap (SR) when Tony Stark contacts him to ask why his GotG ex-teammate is fighting on the other side. Quill says he's friends with Carol Danvers too, and she called them in because Tony had 'gone off the rails'. And he supports the idea of using Ulysses' visions to prevent future crimes.During this conversation we see the 2 intangibles Kitty Pryde and Vision duelling. Vision fires a solar blast which passes through Kitty and destroys the GotG spaceship.Then the Inhumans arrive, including affiliates Beast and Human Torch. Iron Man attacks Karnak in revenge for the destruction of Stark Tower. Black Panther tries to stop him. But then Capt M gets back in the fray and beats IM up.Meanwhile back in New Attilan Ulysses has another vision, but manifests his power in a new way. We know that he can let others see his visions. But now he emits tendrils of light which stretch across New York Bay to wrap around the combatants. They see a ruined Capitol Building with Spidey (MM) with bloody hands holding a dead Cap (SR).As the vision subsides Ms Marvel rushes to assure her friend Miles that it won't happen. But CM arrests him.

Last issue ended with some of the battle between Captain Marvel and Iron Man in a War Machine-like armour in front of the Capitol Building. This issue begins with a repeat of that watched by aghast civilians and Captain America (Steve Rogers) and Spider-Man (Miles Morales). Apparently CM''s closing power-strike to IM''s chest wasn''t as devastating as it appeared because the fight continues.Overhead in the SHIELD helicarrier Director Maria Hill says she and CM don''t want Alpha Flight (Aurora, Puck and Sasquatch) and the Ultimates (Blue Marvel, Ms America and Spectrum) to interfere. She asks Agent 22 to contact the Inhumans but Queen Medusa is already calling her. Medusa says that Ulysses has had another vision and claims that they must stop the fight. But now he''s back in vision-mode and can''t tell them why. Hill hangs up and Medusa decides to take Ulysses to Washington for a direct intervention.Steve and Miles are at the Capitol because a previous vision predicted that Spidey would kill Cap there - and they want to prove it false. Carol Danvers came here to take SM into protective custody so that it couldn''t happen. Tony Stark was determined to stop her arresting the kid for a deed he hasn''t committed. But he himself has enclosed Miles in a forcefield to keep him safe, which isn''t that different - and Spidey wants out.IM fights back by launching some missiles. CM avoids them and they explode near CA. Tony''s AI Friday confirms that Cap is still alive, but he''s lying unconscious. And Stark blames Danvers (for dodging?).But Maria Hill has heeded the warning and she sends Alpha Flight and the Ultimates to stop the fight, alongside Iceman, Magik, Marvel Girl and Storm of the X-Men and Drax and Star-Lord of the Guardians Of The Galaxy. And Ms Marvel and Nova see a report of the battle and Nova rockets to the aid of their friend Miles.Lockjaw teleports a bunch of Inhumans in. Karnak uses his ability to find the flaw in the forcefield around Spidey. But CM''s continued assault has IM''s systems failing. As Nova arrives, freed SM swings up accompanied by other flying heroes. But it''s too late as Captain Marvel tears and blasts Iron Man''s armour apart. And Tony Stark falls insensate from the sky.Then Ulysses shows CM, Medusa, Nova and SM his latest vision. It is a vision of multiple alternate futures, not just 1, so this means his previous visions were never definite.Then Eternity shows up in the vision-space, with unidentifiable other figures, and says Ulysses has evolved into a higher being like him. And takes him away to a greater existence.Back in reality Cap has recovered but Miles holds Tony Stark''s body. Later Beast examines it and tells Carol Danvers and Maria Hill that something is keeping Tony from dying - the result of experiments that Stark has obviously been doing for years. But Hank McCoy can''t say if he will ever recover, and he doesn''t understand what''s happening so he daren''t interfere.When Hill has gone Hank tells Carol that Tony wasn''t fighting her because he didn''t trust her with Ulysses'' predictions. He did, but he couldn''t allow the precedent to be set because others less scrupulous would use them for their own ends.When McCoy has gone Hawkeye drops by. He tells Carol he''s going to do something to make up for killing Bruce Banner (despite many people praising him for it). He won''t say more, but wants her to trust his judgement when she eventually hears about it.Later Danvers meets with the President who wants to know what the reaction in the superhero community is. We see:-Miles Morales overwhelmed with grief.The Guardians Of The Galaxy trapped on Earth and splitting up.The Champions forming their own team.Steve Rogers she thinks unsure about the Avengers. (But we know he really has totally different thoughts.)She-Hulk filled with anger and doubt.The Inhumans in disarray(?).Black Panther hewing his own course (after leaving the Ultimates).Riri Williams becoming the next ''Iron Man''.Daredevil, Iron Fist, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage getting together.And the Pres offers Carol carte blanche to build a better future.

Last issue Captain Marvel and Iron Man's forces met in battle outside the Triskelion. Then Ulysses shared a new precognitive vision with them all of a bloody Spider-Man (Miles Morales) standing over the dead body of Captain America (Steve Rogers) in front of a ruined Capitol Building. Carol Danvers followed her protocol and declared she was arresting him.Now she calls cease fire to both sides (though she has to tell Rocket Raccoon twice, and get the backing of Kitty Pryde). And then she asks Spidey to do the right thing and surrender. Tony Stark of course disagrees. The youth has been an exemplary Avenger with no sign of turning bad. Unlike Bruce Banner who she also tried to arrest in similar circumstances. CM repeats her stance that she just wants him in protective custody to ensure that the vision doesn't come true. For his sake as well as Steve's.Then Cap himself steps forward and talks to Miles. He's convinced of the lad's sincerity and says they should let him go. He hasn't done anything wrong. And Steve adds, just like Bruce didn't do anything wrong (and now he's dead). And just like James Rhodes didn't do anything wrong (and now he's dead too, though to be fair Carol wasn't trying to arrest him).Iron Man tells Thor to take Spidey home. Ms Marvel restrains the angry CM and says her friend Miles is innocent.Maria Hill changes the scenario by trying to arrest all of IM's team as terrorists for starting a fight on government property. Tony armours up and they're about to fight SHIELD when Black Panther interrupts. He says he's switching sides. He's been uncomfortable with CM's tactics, and now Cap's stance has confirmed that he's been on the wrong side. And he warns Hill that if SHIELD attack him they risk an international incident with Wakanda.Dr Strange uses the opportunity to magic IM's gang away (including T'Challa). CM asks Medusa to get Lockjaw to teleport her people after them. But instead the Inhumans go home to Attilan.SM asks Thor to drop him off on a rooftop where he can think about things. She does so. Miles is horrified by what he might do.Medusa, Karnak and Triton go to see Ulysses, whose power has increased so that he was able to project his vision into all those minds all the way from Attilan.SHIELD have evacuated the Triskelion but they need to stop the burning spaceship that has crashed at the base. CM asks Blue Marvel to take it into space before it blows up, but too late. That ship belonged to the Guardians Of The Galaxy, and now they're stranded on Earth until they can get a replacement. But at least Peter Quill and Groot express their continued support for Carol. But Kitty Pryde seems not so sure.Strange has taken IM's lot to 1 of Nick Fury's old secret bases that used to be accessed from a barbershop. Dr Strange is knackered and doesn't have enough power to heal the wounded, so they resort to 1st Aid.Stark suggests that Ms Marvel should go find her pal Spider-Man before CM does. But she, Nova, the young Cyclops, Hawkeye (Kate Bishop) and Riri Williams in her home-made armour decide instead to leave the war. Tony lets them go - he guesses they're going to find Miles and hide him.Panther confirms that a few of Ulysses' predictions have turned out to be untrue. And he suspects that as his power has grown his accuracy may have suffered. Vision says there's only 1 way to test the current prediction, but Cap and Spidey would have to agree to it.We join Carol Danvers on the roof of the structurally unsound Triskelion mourning what her choice has led to - the death's of her lover Rhodey (War Machine) and of Bruce Banner. Maria Hill and Peter Quill join her with Storm and the young Jean Grey. Storm commiserates about the defection of her ex-husband T'Challa. CM still thinks they need to find Spider-Man before the vision has a chance to come true. But then Hill gets a message that he's been located.And we see him standing in front of the Capitol.

Jennifer Walters is in court defending Jonathan Powers, who used to be the villain Jester. An undercover FBI agent sought to entrap him into planning new crimes, but all he got was general chat about what he might do if he returned to his old life. She maintains that this is not evidence of intent.War Machine is in Latveria persuading the warring sides to lay down their weapons and allow democratic elections. (Dr Doom has stepped down from ruling the country since Secret War - as seen in Invincible Iron Man #1.)Later the US President asks Jim Rhodes how he'd like to be Secretary of Defence (well, Iron Man had the job once). He suggests it as a step on the way to a Presidential nomination! (Well, he'd rather have Rhodey than Tony Stark.)At Ohio State University 3 girls are waiting for the Terrigen cloud to pass overhead. Ulysses is more concerned with plucking up the courage to ask 1 of them, Michelle, for a date. But the cloud hits and both of them are cocooned.In the Triskelion HQ of the Ultimates Captain Marvel gets a visit from Doc Samson. Carol Danvers says she called him 3 weeks ago, and jokes that when he didn't answer she thought he'd died. Leonard Samson replies that he did, but he recovered.Carol confirms what he's heard, that the Ultimates are proactive - they try to stop disasters before they happen. His other questions make her realise that he's here professionally - he's psychoanalysing her.She-Hulk does a Hulk-leap to land on the SHIELD helicarrier and meet Director Maria Hill. It appears she lost the Jester case but is going to appeal. But Hill tells her that Jonathan Powers is dead - shot by a guard during a fight with other prisoners. Maria isn't exactly sorry about it.Back in Ohio the local press wait for the cocoons to open. Ulysses emerges looking normal. Then Michelle bursts out as a Harpy-figure. But suddenly Ulysses finds himself in a ruined city.

Her control of her hair is so fine that she manages to invade the Golden Avenger's armour and starts to suffocate him to unconsciousness. But an electric shock knocks her out.However Medusa has backup - Crystal, Human Torch, Iso and Karnak confront the armoured hero. IM is prepared for Karnak's assault, but when Crystal hits him with lightning he explodes! Beast has joined them and says that was a decoy armour. The real Iron Man has escaped with Ulysses.Maria Hill has come to the Triskelion to complain that Tony Stark has created an international incident by invading the Inhuman nation. Captain Marvel suggests she send a SHIELD squad to Stark Tower. Nobody thinks that Tony will actually be there, but Black Panther opines that the Inhumans will go there to make a point (and to keep fanatical Karnak under control).He's right. The above group plus Flint, Grid, Reader and Triton invade Stark Tower. Karnak has a frustrating argument with the AI Friday and threatens to destroy the building. Captain Marvel, Black Panther and Maria Hill interrupt, and they've brought along Spectrum of the Ultimates, Captain America (Sam Wilson), Thor (Jane Foster) and Vision of the ANAD Avengers plus loads of SHIELD Agents. Carol Danvers manages to calm things down, and gets Medusa to agree to let her squad try to retrieve Ulysses before escalating to war.Tony Stark has Ulysses tied up in some hidden lab somewhere. He blames him for Rhodey's death because it was on a mission (in the Free Comic Book Day CWII issue) to stop a threat that Ulysses had predicted. He wants to know how the Nuhuman's power works so he's got Friday monitoring Ulysses' brain. But the guy can't control when his visions occur (only what he looks for when he gets 1).Stark is determined to see if he can stimulate 1. He taps the side of Ulysses' head. Then pretends to be about to hit him. Friday notes the effects. Tony also explains that he's hired Jessica Jones and Dakota North to investigate his life and family. He wants to check if they affect what visions he gets, or what he reads from them.But Captain Marvel's squad have found them already. Beast has accompanied them, and I also see Ms Marvel, Nova and Spider-Man (Miles Morales) of the ANAD Avengers, Blue Marvel of the Ultimates and Hawkeye (plus others I'm unsure of including someone who looks like Rogue, and according to comicbookdb.com Ms America). Tony releases Ulysses from his bonds, to make things look better, and tells him he can continue to run tests on a digital copy of his brain that Friday has made.Stark tries to downplay what he's done when he meets CM & co. During the ensuing argument Ulysses has a vision. This time those with him experience it too. They see a giant Hulk standing over the bodies of CM, Hawkeye, IM, Thor and Captain America (Steve Rogers) amid a scene of destruction.Later Carol Danvers goes to see Bruce Banner.

Last issue Hawkeye was tried for the murder of Bruce Banner. Now Captain Marvel flies to the Triskelion after the verdict has been given. She's heard She-Hulk has woken from her coma and wants to be the 1st to let her know what's happened to her cousin. And Jennifer Walters isn't happy at the end to hear that Clint Barton was acquitted.It's all over the news, and we see Miles Morales/Spider-Man listening to some of it. There are suggestions that it was an assisted suicide or mercy killing (because Banner requested it). Many people are just relieved that the Hulk is gone (forgetting about the Amadeus Cho version). Many believe the conspiracy theory that the super-community deliberately let Hulk live for this long.Tony Stark is devastated over this death, and the death of James Rhodes/War Machine earlier. And he blames Carol Danvers for those deaths, for trusting too much the visions of the Inhuman Ulysses. Now he's called together a group in the old Illuminati meeting place, his abandoned Funtime Inc factory. He wants to show them some new information. The group consists of Beast, Black Bolt, Black Panther, Captain America/Steve Rogers, Captain Marvel, Dr Strange and Medusa.Stark repeats his basic problem with Ulysses' prophecies - they all know there are alternate futures so how can his predictions be certain? In #2 he made a computer copy of the Inhuman's brain and last issue his AI Friday gave him her conclusions. Ulysses' unique brain takes in all available data and calculates the most likely future which it displays as a vision - a vision which Ulysses can now, as a result of training by Karnak, even make other people see too.But it's still only an informed guess based on current data, which to Tony in some cases is akin to profiling. It isn't the absolute certainty that Carol is betting on.But Stark isn't going to repeat his error from Civil War I - he's not going to force his view on everyone else. That's why he's called this meeting, even including Medusa whose people messed up his life (Uncanny Inhumans #11) in retaliation for his abduction of Ulysses. This time he's going to listen to Steve Rogers.Captain Marvel wants Henry McCoy to review Stark's findings. But Beast already has, and his conclusion is that he's at least not wrong. But Danvers still thinks she's right in doing all she can to prevent disasters, even minor ones. Stark wants to know what percentage chance of correctness she considers sufficient to act on. Her reply is that the track record is very good so far. And she leaves.The rest of the group are still unsure, even divided. But Tony isn't sure Bruce Banner had to die last issue. (In fact it looked to me as though CM's actions triggered off the problem Ulysses had foreseen in this case.) He feels it's his duty to go public with his theory.What the group (presumably) didn't know is that Marvel already has a test case on her hands. She and SHIELD arrested a banker Alison Green who Ulysses said was a Hydra Agent, part of a plot to destroy US capitalism using the contents of her briefcase. But when they picked her up the briefcase was empty.She joins Maria Hill and Black Panther in considering the problem. SHIELD has found nothing suspicious in Alison's life, and she denies knowledge of anything terroristy. She even has an explanation for the empty briefcase. And her cop father is already making waves. But Danvers is convinced they'll find evidence if they dig deep enough.Suddenly the game changes as Nightcrawler bamfs in and teleports the suspect away. And Hill learns that Iron Man is on the roof. But he's not alone. It's time for a confrontation.Shellhead has brought the other ANAD Avengers (Captain America/Sam Wilson, Ms Marvel, Nova, Spider-Man/Miles Morales, Thor and Vision) alongside Cap/SR and Dr Strange (noticeably Beast and the Inhumans are keeping out of it) plus the young X-Men from an alternate past (Angel, Beast, Cyclops and Iceman) and newer young X-Men Genesis and Oya  (with them in All-New X-Men), topped up with Hawkeye/Kate Bishop, Luke Cage and the new armoured female Riri Williams from Invincible Iron Man.Captain Marvel is backed by the other Ultimates (Black Panther, Blue Marvel, Ms America and Spectrum), fellow Alpha Flight members (Aurora, Puck and Sasquatch), more X-Men (Forge, Iceman (the current 1), Magik, Storm and the young alternate Marvel Girl) plus Ant-Man, Maria Hill and SHIELD.Even so Iron Man thinks he's got the upper hand. Until Danvers calls in the Guardians of the Galaxy too (Angela, Drax, Gamora, Groot, Kitty Pryde, Rocket Raccoon, Star-Lord, Thing and Venom).

(no title given)
Captain America (Steve Rogers) lands on SHIELD Helicarrier Iliad. The SHIELD Agent who greets him is enthusiastic about the inspirational speech Cap made this afternoon, and Cap promises to end the 'turnover' of recent years. The Agent leads him to where they have Tony Stark's body in stasis. Where he begins a 1-sided conversation.Steve tells Tony how sorry he is to see him like this. He'd been looking forward to more of their arguments. He believes Stark will beat this situation - he always does because he accepts no limitations. Steve contrasts this with someone like himself who is loyal to an institution - and accepts limitations imposed by that loyalty. But when Tony returns he will still have to face the fact that a trusted friend (Carol Danvers) did this to him.But now Cap has things he wants to tell Stark. 1st that he's not the man Tony thought he was. 2nd that he expected something like this to happen - because the heroes in latter years have spent more time fighting each other than battling the villains. He knows Tony would say that he was fighting Captain Marvel (in Civil War II) for noble reasons, but Cap thinks that really Stark was unwilling to accept the authority of anyone, Carol or the Inhuman precog Ulysses. Despite the fact that he'd declared himself the ultimate authority in CWI.Cap blames it on the corrupt system they live in. But now the people of the USA have demanded that someone concentrate on protecting them instead of indulging in macho conflict. And this afternoon they started to get that.Flashback to the afternoon where Steve Rogers was sworn in as the new Director of SHIELD at the Capitol (in front of many of the superhero community). A commentator remembers how Cap took this role before (after Norman Osborn's Dark Reign). But this time he has greater powers - the new SHIELD Act (CA:SR#10) which gives him increased resources and control, especially in any national emergency.Some are worried about the danger of dictatorship, but most trust Cap and many think we need someone who will speak for the people and clean up the mess made by his predecessors.1 duo who don't like the turn of events are Hawkeye and Red Wolf. But Clint Barton doesn't think he'd be welcome among the superheroes at the do because he killed Bruce Banner. And anyway he'll leave them to worrying about Thanos, etc. He and RW have a job to do helping ordinary folks.Back in Washington Wasp (Nadia Pym) finds Spider-Man (Miles Morales) watching proceedings from a distant rooftop. He says he's not in the audience with the rest of the Champions because he too figures he'd be a spectre at the feast. Because of Ulysses prophecy that he'd kill Cap at the Capitol. Wasp thought that wouldn't happen now CWII was over - but Miles says it just hasn't happened yet.Steve Rogers is making his acceptance speech. He says he understands people's fear of the world that has become incomprehensible - he felt the same when he was revived from decades of suspended animation. But he believes that the nation's core values will sustain them against the threats they face now:- New Hydra spreading hate and committing terrorist acts. Alien races attacking Earth (the latest being the Chitauri detected in CA:SR#8). And long-running foes who want to "tear down everything we've worked so hard to build" (here we see Baron Zemo and Red Skull though I don't think that's who the audience is supposed to think of).Then he 'admits' that those who should have saved them (in this context the superheroes) were too busy fighting amongst themselves and vying for power. But now SHIELD will stand up to make people feel safe again.Cap also says he understands some commentators' concerns about 1 person having so much power. He himself was reluctant to accept it and had originally suggested someone else for the job (we see Sharon Carter who turned it down in his favour in CA:SR#10). But he will shoulder the burden and use the powers granted him until such time as they are no longer necessary. And he ends by urging all to join him in the task of building a better world.Now Steve is talking to comatose Tony again. He hopes Tony would have been impressed, but he thinks Stark would have found some reason to oppose him. But really it would be because Stark could never believe in anything or anyone other than himself. And Tony could never inspire people like Rogers has done because they knew he thought himself smarter and better than them.There was a party after the investiture. Black Panther offers Cap the support of Wakanda. Sharon Carter will continue to help him. The Amadeus Cho Hulk picks a fight with Sasquatch because Alpha Flight work for Captain Marvel who Cho holds responsible for Bruce Banner's death. Danvers is there and shames him into leaving.Some days ago Carol had a meeting with the President where she told him about the new invulnerable planetary defence shield that would keep aliens out, in particular the approaching Chitauri fleet. She doesn't want him to listen to Captain America over this because he will be biased because she got the system from Maria Hill the SHIELD Director Rogers is replacing (after Hill's trial in CA:SR#9-10). A short while ago (the end of CWII#8) the Pres offered her the kind of authority he's now given Cap. Now she's just asking for autonomy in space, while Cap can be in control on the ground.Back to Steve and immobile Tony. Rogers recalls what happened during House of M when Scarlet Witch gave her super-friends their fondest wishes. And Carol Danvers as Captain Marvel became the world's most popular superhero. Steve thinks that is what drives Carol - she fought Iron Man in CWII to prove to the world that she was the better hero.The 2 Cap's had a quiet word together at the party. Steve's not happy about what Carol's doing. He thinks now is the time for them all to pull together, stop the divisions that tear them apart. Danvers still thinks that successful actions will bring everyone round to her point of view.He asks where Maria Hill has disappeared to but Carol continues to deny knowing where she want after handing over the plans for the defence shield. He doesn't think the shield is a good idea - it will isolate Earth from the rest of the universe as well as keeping them out. Even if it succeeds it's still wrong, and ends don't justify means. We have to have beliefs we stand for or it's not worth surviving.Now back to Steve and Tony for the last time.In Secret Invasion people learned not to trust their neighbours. All the super-infighting means they no longer trust the heroes. The heroes may have saved the world many times but it doesn't feel like that to the people - and they're angry. The Terrigen mist has been turning their friends and family into Inhumans and they don't appreciate being called bigots for not embracing them. The heroes live in a bright hi-tech future where they usually even come back from death. (Tony Stark even built his own futuristic city in his 2013 series.) But most people feel they've been left behind.Now the current Hydra-infected Captain America makes clear what he stands for. It seems that Steve knows that his current ideology is different from that of the old Cap. He claims that in all their previous confrontations Steve had let Tony win because he liked him so much. (We see images of Civil War I and Cap's assassination.) Current Steve thinks old Steve was weak. He didn't have the courage to do "what must be done".Returning to the original theme of this conversation Steve is angry that Tony is in a coma. He hopes that his revelations will wake Tony so that he can see what Cap is going to do to his bright future. He's going to tear down the US power structure and create a better world forged in fire. And Ulysses showed him what that future would be like.It was in the vision Ulysses communicated of Spider-Miles killing Cap in front of a ruined capitol building (CWII#5). While everyone else concentrated on that act, Steve looked around and saw the world. We see snapshots of this:- Open recruiting for Hydra. Hydra checkpoints. Armed Hydra Agents overseeing Hydraphilic news reports. The US flag replaced by a Hydra 1, and schoolkids pledging allegiance to it. Concentration camps for mutants/aliens/Inhumans, and Hydra Youth chasing down 'different' kids. Hydra craft in the skies, and a Hydra rally in front of the ruined Capitol.And the comic ends with the announcement of the 2017 Event called Secret Empire.

As the country tries to recover from the final confrontation over the Super-Human Registration Act, Ben Urich and Sally Floyd visit Captain America, imprisoned on the Raft. Cap carefully explains how he saw it as his duty to oppose the Act as a violation of America’s civil liberties. Sally interrupts him with a series of questions about current pop culture which he can’t answer. Sally makes her point that Cap is defending an ideal of his country while knowing very little about its reality, acting as a self-appointed defender, unaccountable to the people. As the reporters leave, Sally expresses her frustration to Ben who suggests he do the talking when they interview Tony Stark….Sally and Ben form a private news company called Front Line as the country tries to return to normal. Soon after they meet with Tony Stark for an interview; the reporters start with a summary of the Super-Human Registration Act, how the Act was pushed through Congress, dissidents were locked up in an inter-dimensional prison, and villains were recruited to enforce the law. Ben then pulls out his big surprise: that Tony Stark was the traitor in his own organization. Tony made a killing in the stock market—to set up a fund providing pensions for police, firefighters, and registered heroes. And it is also clear that Norman Osborn was under Tony’s control when shooting at the Atlantean ambassador, knowing that it would not lead to war but would bring undecided people to support the Act. Tony orders them out; Ben says that they will never publish the story as it would only jeopardize the fragile peace of the Act. After they are gone, Tony reacts with sorrow and rage. And on that note, this miniseries ends.

Chapter 2: Revolution
Magneto leads a mutant force against a concentration camp in
California; Quicksilver removes the inhibitor collars used on the inmates,
freeing them, including Blob and Unus, to join the fight against their captors.
Magneto and Polaris destroy the Sentinels guarding them, at one point enclosing
Blob in a force bubble and launching him through one of the giant robots. Magneto
invites the freed mutants to join his army and many, including Blob, do so
gladly. And then Charles Xavier arrives….
At his headquarters on Asteroid M, Magneto and Xavier watch
US Vice President Bolivar Trask announce plans to strike back against the
mutants. They discuss various issues such as reports that the US is creating weapons
and Sentinels made out of non-metallic materials. Charles also learns that
Magneto has not told his children he is their father, including Wanda, who is
human. But Xavier’s biggest concern is Magneto’s methods which he finds extreme;
Magneto counters by bringing in Sofia, freed from Genosha. Reading her mind,
Xavier learns of the atrocities committed against mutants who are literally
enslaved there. The two men agree to liberate Genosha….
The island nation of Genosha is invaded by a mutant force. The
USSR, allies of Genosha, have the Soviet Super-Soldiers (Black Widow, Red Guardian,
Crimson Dynamo, Darkstar, Ursa Major, Vanguard, Titanium Man) on
hand. A huge battle ensues between the Soviets and the mutants. Xavier joins
Polaris and Quicksilver in freeing mutate prisoners and Charles restores their
mental faculties and they join in the fight. Crimson Dynamo catches them and
collapses the building, apparently killing Charles Xavier. Enraged, Magneto
confronts the nation’s leaders and rips up a mountain full of iron ore and
threatens to drop it on the island unless they surrender….

wasteful and they should be going to war while Polaris considers the inspiration
for the oppressed mutants of the world to be the best part and Wanda just wants

cover it up, passing it off as an accident while plotting revenge against the
mutants to be carried out by a team consisting of Winter Soldier, Nuke, and
Mimic….
While Xavier is rebuking Magneto for Creed’s murder, the enemy
team infiltrates Genosha. As Mimic and Nuke distract the guards, Bucky steals into
the palace where he is caught by Sabretooth. After a brief but brutal battle,
Bucky hurls Cap’s shield and it ricochets off the walls and crashes through
Sabretooth’s back, nailing him to the wall. As Bucky plants explosives, he is
found by Charles Xavier. There is a debate over the morality of Magneto and whether
America is justified in this suicide mission for Winter Solider to kill him and
his followers. As Charles tries to talk him out of this, Bucky stabs him in the
chest….

Young Magnus survived Auschwitz but at the cost of his mother’s
life….
Years later, Magnus marries Magda and they have a child,
Anya. When the neighbors learn he is a mutant they burn his apartment, killing
Anya. He takes a violent reaction against the mob and Madga, terrified, flees
from him; she is pregnant with twins….
A year later, he is romantically involved with Susanne Dane,
an American sympathizer with the mutant cause. When he learns she is pregnant,
he insists she return to safety in the USA and never see him again….
In New York, scientist Bolivar Trask creates the Sentinels,
a model of robot designed to hunt down and eliminate mutants….
In Egypt, Magnus, now calling himself Magneto, meets
Apocalypse and joins his cause, fighting for mutants. Soon the two have a
falling out over Apocalypse’s approval of atrocities against the humans and
Magneto challenges him to fight. Apocalypse anticipates an easy victory as he
has made sure no metal exists in the camp but Magneto reveals that the brain is
an electro-magnetic field and so he tears Apoc’s head apart, nonfatally. Then a
fleet of Sentinels is seen approaching; instead of hiding, Magneto takes them
on and destroys them. He announces to the world through a group of TV reporters
that, as the world has declared war on the mutants, the mutants now declare war
on the world. This TV broadcast is seen all over the world: by Pietro and Wanda Maximoff
in Transia, by Lorna Dane in California, and in New York by Professor Charles Xavier….

Chapter 5: Rex
Magneto is leading the mutant attack on the White House
guarded by non-metallic Sentinels when he is informed that the US has fired missiles
at Genosha. He leaves Polaris in charge of the attack, adding a word of encouragement
(she does not know she’s his daughter). He has Gateway teleport him and
Quicksilver to the SHIELD Helicarrier…
…where Vice President Bolivar Trask has ordered the attack
on Genosha. But the missiles are stopped by Black Bolt; Trask orders nukes
fired at the Inhumans’ homeland in Tibet but Dum Dum Dugan warns him that such
a course of action would start a war with China. Magneto arrives in their midst
and shuts off the engines, sending the craft crashing into New York Harbor. Sentinels
arrive and Trask orders them to kill the mutants, regardless of the risk to
human lives. Magneto hurls Trask into the path of a Sentinel’s beam weapon and
Trask is obliterated; Magneto then leads the Sentinels to Central Park. Quicksilver
rescues SHIELD Agent Carol Danvers who has been secretly aiding the mutant
cause; she also asks to be taken to Central Park. Quicksilver leaves Carol
there and races to Washington for reinforcements; Carol then reveals her alien
powers and helps Magneto fight the Sentinels. In D.C., Quicksilver has Gateway

grabbed by a Sentinel so he brings down Air Force One, carrying President Richard M. Nixon,
to decapitate the giant robot. Magneto takes Nixon prisoner
and declares victory….
One week later in Genosha, Magnus announces that documents
captured by Carol Danvers prove the existence of a worldwide anti-mutant
conspiracy headed by Bolivar Trask. He rewards Carol with the title of
Captain Marvel. And in honor of his human daughter Wanda and the memory of Charles
Xavier, he announces that they will be seeking peace with the humans. He
confides in Carol that the humans will all be gone in a few years, though he
doesn’t notice her reaction to that statement. Magnus then takes Wanda, Pietro
and Lorna into another room and informs them that they are his children. But
the revelation only angers Lorna who believed her father abandoned her mother and
never returned even when she was dying of cancer and she storms out. Wanda
tells Magneto that for the first time mutants all over the world feel free—but what
we see is mutants taking revenge against humans, bullying them with their powers,
and Apocalypse taking over Egypt—and Magneto believes all his dreams have come
true….

The Program
During
the Superhero Civil War, a detachment of armored SHIELD Agents comes to Toledo,
Ohio, to hunt down and capture a superhuman who calls himself “The Helper,” despite
the local people coming to his defense. The boy is tased and carried off to detention….
One
of the Agents, a portly middle-aged man named Clyde Dobronski takes up the
narration. He tells us how when he was a kid the one thing he disliked most was
unfairness and when the superheroes came along, he resented their powers and
disdain for the common people. So, to even the odds he joined SHIELD and was
given an assignment guarding a warehouse; he stayed there for many years,
marrying, becoming a father, and divorcing. Then the Stanford incident took
place and the passing of the Superhuman Registration Act. He went to the
Director, Maria Hill, and volunteered for the team enforcing the Act. What Clyde
didn’t expect was that the first hero they went after would be Captain America.
In the battle in the Helicarrier, Clyde froze up, unable to take action against
the hero. This was noticed and he was rebuked by Maria Hill; Clyde assured her
that he would carry out his duties faithfully….
Now,
Clyde is the guard at the holding cells in Toledo and he talks to the prisoner,
Helper a/k/a teenager Yusuf Abbas who has basic elemental powers and used them
only to help people in trouble, fixing potholes, etc. Clyde tells him about
going along with “The Program” which is only to keep the peace in the country.
Yusuf tells his story: how he first discovered his powers, how he decided to
use them for good, how he had to keep a low profile after the Stanford
incident. He considered going along with The Program until there was a
dangerous chemical spill at a local factory. He went in and tried to stop the
leak but he wasn’t strong enough—then Captain America arrived and together they
halted the danger. Cap told him “When the law is unjust, good is more important
than any program.” Clyde sympathizes but Yusuf doesn’t buy it, having seen how
SHIELD released the Thor Clone to kill Goliath (Bill Foster). Clyde asks Maria
Hill about it and she doubts his commitment to The Program and tells him he
will be reassigned. Clyde returns to the holding cells where his hardline
partner Bartles is bringing in Olga, a young girl who has flight powers. Yusuf
tries to comfort Olga as they wait to be taken to the Regional Detention
Center; she thought they were only going after the vigilantes….
Clyde
dozes off and is awakened by Yusuf overloading the power dampeners with his
powers. Clyde tries to get him to stop as he is putting his life in danger;
Bartles enters and draws his gun to shoot Yusuf but Clyde hits him over the
head. Clyde then helps the two youngsters to escape and stand there wondering if
he will ever understand why he did what he did….

The Confession--Part One
Iron Man jets aboard the SHIELD Helicarrier and is shown to a room where a mysterious guest is held. Removing his helmet, Tony Stark addresses his unseen companion and speaks of the resentment SHIELD agents feel toward him for supplanting Nick Fury and then goes on to invoke Pyrrhus the ancient general whose victories seemed more like defeats. He tells why this all happened: it goes back to Iron Man’s adventure in King Arthur’s England, battling Doctor Doom and Morgan Le Fey; it was on that battlefield that he realized one day heroes would be at war with each other. He tried, through the Illuminati, to get the heroes to police themselves but when the war came, it fell out exactly as he had foreseen (except for Spider-Man’s choice of side). When the Registration Act was passed, Tony knew he would have to support it and work through it to bring stability to their world again, even though he would be branded the bad guy. But, he tells his companion, revealed to be the corpse of Captain America, the one thing he can never tell anyone else, "It wasn’t worth it."

In #11 of the original Young Avengers series Patriot took a blast aimed at Captain America, and in #12 Cap finally agreed that the Young Avengers deserved to be given a chance. He even gave Kate Bishop the bow and arrows belonging to the dead Hawkeye and told her to use his name. And the newest recruit Tommy Shepherd took the codename Speed. Eli Bradley was given a transfusion of his grandfather's blood which gave him the powers he'd previously faked with Mutant Growth Hormone and he recovered. Various team members had various adventures before Civil War hit them.Then they attended the general gathering in the Baxter Building (as seen in CW#1 and Wolverine (2003) #42). In CW#2 Patriot was nearly apprehended. Hawkeye, Hulkling, Stature and Wiccan *were* captured but rescued by Cap's resistance forces.Now Cap has the team restricted to monitor duty in a New York secret base. But 1st we see what's happening to the Runaways in Los Angeles after the Dead Means Dead story arc in #19-21 of their 2005 series where they came to terms with the death of Gert Yorkes.They're at the Santa Monica Farmers' Market wondering why the entrance is guarded by 2 armoured soldiers. (They are totally unaware of the Civil War and don't know these are the new SHIELD Cape-Killer Agents.) They get in without any problem. The youngest Molly Hayes is back to her exuberant self but Chase Stein is still surly after the loss of his girlfriend. Xavin the Skrull as usual argues with Victor Mancha, the robot son of Ultron. Nico Minoru is jealous of Karolina Dean's relationship with Xavin, who is male but shapeshifts to female to suit Karolina.The Cape-Killers stop a burly guy with a suspiciously large bag. In response he whips off his coat, pulls on a mask, retrieves a large mace from the bag and stands revealed as a new version of Flag-Smasher, enemy of the concept of nations. Karolina is confused because they only recently defeated Flag-Smasher. (I'm confused because that's not in any comic I know about.) Nico sends Chase to get their Leapfrog vehicle. When FS hurts 1 of the guards, Karolina zaps him. Victor doesn't want to cut Nico to make her magic Staff Of One manifest. Instead he interrupts a fight between FS and Xavin and short-circuits the villain's exoskeleton. Then Molly drop-kicks him  to unconsciousness.The other guard is grateful for the assist and tells them to run away as a SHIELD helicopter arrives and targets them. Because they're minors SHIELD can't use excessive force (because of public opinion, not morality) so they fire electro-nets to capture them. But Victor takes care of that and holds the copter off while the others board the Leapfrog, where Chase and Old Lace their pet Deinonynchus (dinosaur to us) await. However the SHIELD Agents can now tell Victor's a robot and they shoot him full of holes as he reaches the Leapfrog.Now we join the Young Avengers on monitor duty. The 5 have been joined by Speed and the new Vision. They hear news of the children of the Pride's escape, of their own defiance of the Superhero Registration Act and Human Torch still in hospital after being attacked by a mob (CW#1). Android Vision is actually doing all the monitoring hooked up to a computer system. The team are itching to get out and help. Stature (Cassie Lang) defends her friend Iron Man against Speed's accusations of how IM has betrayed Cap and the super-community by supporting the Act and the Government's repressive forces.Vision suffers some feedback as he sees Victor Mancha attacked. Cassie recognises the Pride kids as the Runaways group she was intending to join before she met the YA (as revealed in the YA Special). Kate wants to help them but Eli says there is no resistance group in LA. Impulsive Speed suggests they go fill the hole but Eli wants Cap's permission (and he's a bit jealous of Kate and Tommy's growing bond). But Steve Rogers turns them down flat (with a cameo from Daredevil (actually Danny Rand), Falcon and Goliath (Bill Foster) in the background).So the team 'borrow' a quinjet which Vision pilots guided by Wiccan (Billy Kaplan)'s chanted "I will find the Pride's kids". Kate looks the target up in the Avengers files, including the fact that Cap got them put in foster homes for a while (#17 of their 2003 series). Cassie is worried about Vision's feedback, and also that he seems uncomfortable with her close presence. (His body is Iron Lad's armour and he has IL's memories, and Iron Lad and Cassie developed a thing in their brief time together.) Eli tries to justify their course of action as making sure the Runaways aren't turned to the dark side as their supervillain parents were.Meanwhile the other team have reached their base, the Hostel beneath the La Brea Tar Pits. They at last hear news of the Registration Act which Molly interprets as the Avengers are after them. They're all worried about Victor. Xavin remarks that at least it's only the robot, which angers Karolina and Chase. He quickly backtracks and says he meant that he's repairable. But Chase doesn't know if he can do it, so Molly runs out in tears ...... where she runs into the other team who tell her they're the Young Avengers. The youngster's response is to lift a truck and throw it at them. No-one is hurt but she keeps fighting them until she suddenly falls asleep. (Molly does that when she runs out of energy.)They carry the girl inside, but the other Runaways think they must have attacked her. Battle is about to commence when Vision's arm phases through a wall towards Victor, who screams.

The Runaways were oblivious to the Civil War until SHIELD came after them for being Unregistered superbeings and severely damaged the robot Victor Mancha. The Young Avengers came to Los Angeles to help them but of course they had the usual superhero misunderstanding and they fought. But SHIELD also sent the Kree Cube prisoner Noh-Varr, controlled by the Cube's Warden, to bring the Runaways in. At the end of last issue he arrived and snapped the neck of Runaway Xavin, a member of the Kree's traditional enemy the Skrulls.Now Noh-Varr throws his victim at the feet of Young Avengers Hulkling (Teddy Altman) and Wiccan (Billy Kaplan) and Runaway Karolina Dean, Xavin's girlfriend. He KO's Karolina, chops Wiccan in the throat to stop his spell-casting and deals with Hulkling with a double strike. All the while he was ignoring the Warden's instructions in his head as he entered the 'whitespace' and became an efficient weapon. With no other targets in the immediate vicinity he exits whitespace to find the Warden giving him permission to kill the half-Skrull Hulkling.But the new Vision of the YA has detected their comms chatter and attacks the attacker by phasing a hand into his chest and solidifying it. However Noh fights the pain and succeeds in wrenching Vision's forearm off, still protruding from his chest. He lands near the still-not-fully-recovered Victor and is about to stomp his face in when giant-size Stature (Cassie Lang) of the YA kicks him into the sky. Victor doen't know what's going on.In the SHIELD plane above the Warden declines to tell his SHIELD bosses about the YA's involvement. He has noted that Hulkling, Karolina and Xavin are aliens and so have no legal rights in the US. He can safely take them as his 'special projects'.Noh-Varr has fallen to Earth some miles away, but the Warden forces him back into the fray. He superspeeds to where Stature and fellow YAers Hawkeye (Kate Bishop) and Patriot (Eli Bradley) are standing over Victor with Runaways Chase Stein and Nico Minoru. He removes Patriot and Stature from the bunch. Hawkeye fires a tranq arrow but the foe deflects it to take out Stature who falls on Patriot. More arrows prove equally useless. Chase tries to revive Old Lace but the cold-blooded dinosaur hasn't recovered from Nico's last spell which froze them all.Meanwhile SHIELD have picked up the bodies of Hulkling, Karolina and Xavin along with Wiccan, and the Warden prepares to take them back to his domain the Cube. He reluctantly waits to retrieve Noh-Varr ...... who is currently choking Hawkeye. Nico desperately tries to summon up a spell from her Staff Of One but can't think of 1 she hasn't already used up. She runs through Sunburst, Hellfire and Acid Rain before Noh grabs *her* by the throat. Chase resorts to picking up a tree branch to use as a club when a skyhook swoops down and takes the enemy away.The SHIELD plane winches him in and heads back to the Cube prison. The Warden tells his staff to inform SHIELD Director Maria Hill that the mission failed and they didn't manage to capture anybody. He's going to keep these subjects all to himself. Then they notice Vision's arm sticking out of their agent's chest.Back on the ground Nico manages a Wake Up spell and informs Cassie, Chase, Eli and Kate what happened to their assailant. Vision joins them with half an arm missing. He says his processing is distributed throughout his psycho-kinetic body so it took a while to adjust for the missing part. He also reports that their enemy was Noh-Varr. a Kree from another timeline, working for a SHIELD Black Ops team who have captured the other 4. Cassie helps Victor try to stand up. And YAer Speed (Tommy Shepherd) and youngest Runaway Molly Hayes turn up. Tommy's been keeping Molly amused since last issue and they missed the whole thing.Patriot says Vision can track where their cohorts have been taken, and they should go after them. Chase sums up the Runaways' response. They tried to keep out of the Civil War but it came and took their friends, so now it's time for some Avenging.And in the Cube the Warden has tossed aside the believed-dead Xavin and prepares to use his surgical instruments on the living 3.

Last issue ended with the Warden of the Cube prison about to do surgery on the restrained living bodies of Hulkling and Wiccan of the Young Avengers and Karolina Dean of the Runaways. This issue we find that on the 1 hand they're awake for the procedure, but on the other hand it's 'just' installing power dampeners. He's already dealt with Wiccan (Billy Kaplan) with an auditory implant which stops him hearing his spoken spells so they don't work (how did he know that would do the job?). Now he's working on a more invasive procedure for Hulkling (Teddy Altman) but his half-Skrull changeling ability means his innards keep shifting away from the knife (but he can't shift out of his restraints?). Karolina seems OK (but maybe the metal of her chains is nullifying her powers as some have been shown to do). He's left the Runaway Skrull Xavin lying on the floor with a broken neck.Then an underling calls him to see Noh-Varr, the Kree youth he has under his control who he sent after the YA and Runaways in #2. Medics have been trying to get the broken off arm of the robot Vision out of the boy's chest but have discovered it's phase-shifted to merge with his body and his nanites are reacting against it. The Warden 'reminds' the unconscious Noh-Varr how when he was brought there he predicted he'd turn the Cube into the capital of a new Kree Empire. Well that hasn't happened. The Warden tells them to leave things as they are and see what happens, and he returns to his fun.But outside the underground prison the other YAers and Runaways have come to attempt a rescue.The Runaways' dinosaur Old Lace is psychically linked to Chase Stein and has picked up on his anger at Molly Hayes, the youngest Runaway, and Speed (Tommy Shepherd) of the YA for being off innocently having fun while the others were fighting Noh-Varr last issue, and OL is taking it out on Tommy. Molly says Chase used to be like her big brother but since his girlfriend Gert died he's been acting mean.YA Stature (Cassie Lang) continues to look after the broken Runaway robot Victor Mancha. They seem to be developing a bond which which seems to disturb Vision (who has the memories of Iron Lad who had feelings for her). He tells Patriot (Eli Bradley) and Chase that the old Vision once took over the US Government's computer systems and he has the files on how to do it, so he could hack the Cube if he could get to its mainframe. Nico Minoru bites her finger to draw blood to unleash the Staff Of One from her body. She'll get Vision his access but she needs his built-in Thesaurus to provide her with alternate words she can use for old spells (to get round a restriction of the magic Staff).The Warden takes his operating room off the internal comms so he can work in privacy. Billy is still chanting "I want him to go to sleep" but his spell still doesn't work because he can't hear it. The idealistic youth can't wish for something worse even as the villain takes the knife to his boyfriend Teddy.In the Cube control room the YA and Runaways burst up through the floor courtesy of Nico's Prodigium Effodio spell. Vision explains it's Latin for Excavating Monster. As the others beat up the staff Vizh breaks into the mainframe, and a guard calls for Noh-Varr to be released.In the operating room Teddy is unconscious but his shapeshifting body still keeps protecting itself. But the Warden just says that will prolong the time he can spend cutting the alien. And Billy's chant changes to "I want you to die". But then broken-necked Xavin rises and rips the restraints from his girlfriend Karolina. As he clicks his neck back into place and turns Super-Skrull he tells the Warden some of the events that have scarred his life. *He* has no compunction about killing.In the control room the fighting teens are overwhelmed by a flood of guards. And then Noh-Varr joins in to attack Old Lace. Molly rushes to the dino's aid but the Kree throws them both in the air.In the operating room the Warden tries to call for help but the room's off-grid. Karolina has freed the other 2 and Hulkling tries to stop Xavin from murdering the Warden. Wiccan says he only wished the guy dead in the heat of anger, and Karolina pleads with him. Xavin acquiesces, saying that Teddy can't be the saviour of the Skrulls that they say he is (as grandson of a previous Emperor). Vision is now in control of the site and guides them to the others.Chase comforts Molly and says he'll be her big brother again as she falls asleep as usual after exerting her power. Meanwhile Noh-Varr is laying about the rest of the teens. He's about to crush the 2 of them with a big chunk of machinery when Vision phases around Chase giving him the armour to hit the Kree with. Then the other 4 arrive to join the fight. Stature has been guarding Victor and their exit hole, but now the robot feels well enough to help. Noh-Varr has just used Vision's arm embedded in his chest to take over the Vision armour and fire at the allies. But Victor gets close enough for his code to interfere with the Vision's. And when he touches Vision/Chase the arm in his chest causes Noh to black out.Patriot wants them to leave now they've got their missing friends. But Vision detects that Noh-Varr's mind has been corrupted by (the Warden's) 'foreign code'. And as he retrieves his arm he 'fixes' the Kree.When the Warden arrives with more guards he finds the Runaways and Young Avengers gone, and Noh-Varr alone amongst the unconscious staff. The Warden tries to order him about but the Kree is no longer under his control.Our heroes congregate at the Runaways' Leapfrog and the YA's quinjet. Tommy tells Chase to look after Molly because she looks up to him. Victor thanks Cassie for looking after *him*, and Chase is suddenly smitten by her. Vision tells him that's psychic feedback from wearing the Iron Lad armour. Teddy thanks Xavin for saving them in the operating room. But Xavin thanks *him* for stopping him killing the Warden which would have lost him his girlfriend's love. So maybe Dorrek VIII *is* the saviour of the Skrulls. Eli invites the Runaways to come join the Resistance in New York but Nico says they'll return to LA and continue to try not to be dragged into adults' disagreements.Later SHIELD Director Maria Hill tries to contact the Warden but the Cube doesn't respond. Noh-Varr is now in command and using the Warden as a footstool. He declares that this now *is* the capital of the new Kree Empire.
