before the Avengers before the dawn of superheroes and before even creation itself there were the celestials the prime Celestial arishem created the first sun and brought light into the universe and as it exploded in a big bang six singularities were concentrated into what became known as the Infinity Stones incredible sources of power each representing an element of the universe space mind reality power soul and time to populate this new universe Aram follows a process called emergence he plants seeds and host planets Across the Universe the seeds grow and the planets burst open with the birth of new celestials who themselves go on to create new Suns and galaxies but the universe is a constant exchange of energy and the creation of a Celestial comes at great cost for the seeds to grow they require energy which comes from intelligent life and to ensure intelligent life flourishes Aram created the deviants to protect that life from predators Over time however the devience evolved and began to attack the intelligent life they were meant to protect so arem learned from his mistakes and created new protectors this time they were not organic creatures capable of evolution but instead synthetic ones created in the world Forge nearly Immortal sentient beings known as eternals they were built for the singular task of protecting intelligent life from deviants but few know the truth that they protect life just so it can one day be destroyed along with their planet in the emergence of a new Celestial after each Mission the eternals have their memories wiped so they approach each planet as though it's their first blissfully unaware they are shepher it to its own destruction as arishem puts it an infinite cycle of creation and destruction one day a seed for the celestial Tiamat will be placed inside Earth and if left unfettered will destroy it along with Humanity itself among the celestials there was one who was different from the rest ego unlike the others he was not born inside a planet he simply one day existed he learned to manipulate matter and created a planet around himself he also explored the universe by creating avatars mimicking sentient creatures one day he'll choose a human Avatar around 2,500,000 BC a meteorite made of nearly indestructible vibranium struck the continent of Africa and affected the plant life when the time of men came five tribes settled there and called it wakanda they were in constant war with each other until a warrior Shaman was Guided by the panther goddess Bast to consume the heart-shaped herb part of that affected plant life it gave him superhuman strength speed and instincts making him king and the first black panther four of the tribes agreed to live under his rule while the Jabari decided to remain independent using vibranium wakanda will develop Technologies far more advanced than any other Nation and when the world is engulfed in Wars wakanda will choose to remain hidden keeping their knowledge and resources to themselves elsewhere in the universe ego has been busy using his avatars to visit different planets in search of purpose he's met many species on many planets but found them all disappointing finally he realizes his true purpose expansion as in expanding himself by planting seeds and planets Across the Universe seeds which will grow into more of him eradicating all life and replacing it with more ego in 5,000 BC arsham sends a group of eternals to Earth just in time to stop a deviant attack in Mesopotamia their leader a Jack is the only one of them who knows the truth of their mission that they are there to ensure tiamat's emergence the rest Focus only on protecting and helping Humanity thrive elsewhere in the universe Asgard thrives too in addition to its place in our solar system earth is one of nine planets or Realms linked Across the Universe on branches of yrail the world's tree Asgard is the most powerful of the nine and home to beings who became known as the gods of Norse mythology in 2988 BC they face a dangerous enemy The Dark Elves these elves are said to have dwell in the dark before the universe began now they seek to restore that darkness by eradicating the nine Realms and they can do it by using the reality Stone somehow the elves obtained it and converted the infinity stone into something called ether then they waited until the convergence a phenomenon where the nine Realms come into alignment once every 5,000 years by firing The Ether at the point of convergence the power will pierce through every realm amplifying with each and finally destroying them all but the asgardians are formidable and King bore leads them to Victory then hides The Ether on a distant world to ensure it is never weaponized again elsewhere in another dimension there is a realm called talo with vast cities rich with culture and history but their peace and prosperity is appended by the dweller in darkness he attacks with his army and eats every soul in his path growing stronger with each the Army heads for the gate which leads to Earth so Tal's strongest Warriors fight to keep them from escaping the dimension but they aren't strong enough until the great protector joins the fight with her power they push the dweller and his army back then lock them behind the dark gate the survivors settle into a small village by the gate where they dedicate themselves to guard in it using magic granted to them by the great protector around 600 BC in Asgard King B's son Odin has inherited the throne and Odin is a ruthless King he has a child named Hela the goddess of death and with her as his executioner they conquer the nine Realms in 575 BC the eternals protect Babylon from deviants and decide to settle there for a while but protecting and living among humans has had an effect on ajac she sees something special in them and even suggests they be allowed to live arishem won't hear it Humanity must be sacrificed for the emergence so billions of new lives can be created elsewhere in the universe druig has also become attached to people though he detests their proclivity for violence and often uses mind control to enforce peace but he is warned against this the eternals are only there to stop deviant and they are forbidden from involving themselves in any other conflicts tempting as it may be Icarus has also been changed by their experiences on Earth discovering a love not for Humanity but for another Eternal Cersei he's harbored these feelings for some time but he's always had faith in arem and that was enough ajac however tells him that it's okay he can perform his duties and still live a life so he confesses his feelings and Cersei feels the same way the Millennium turns and Odin's conquest of the nine Realms comes to an end he realizes that asgard's violent ways are wrong instead he chooses to become benevolent and peaceful but his daughter hela's thirst for blood remains and she refuses to stop forcing Odin to imprison her in 400 ad Cersei and Icarus Mary though Icarus High from her an awful truth after leaving Babylon ajac confided in him the true purpose of their mission but he knows Cersei who shares ajax's love for Humanity could never accept that truth so he keeps it to himself near the turn of the Millennium Odin has a son named Thor he calls the boy his firstborn and does his best to ensure that Hela the goddess of death and his true firstborn is erased from history even hiding her existence from his son for now soon after Earth or midgard as it's known in the nine Realms is attacked by Frost Giants from the realm of yodenheim but Odin and his army come to the rescue defeating the frost Giants and he returns to Asgard with two new additions first is the casket of ancient Winters the source of the frost Giants power and second is a baby boy King Lai of yodenheim had a son but abandoned him after the battle rather than watch the child die Odin brought him back to Asgard named him Loki and raised him as his own over the years Loki will grow jealous of his older brother Thor jealous of the agulation he received from Odin and jealous that Thor is destined to inherit his father's Throne as one war ends another begins in another part of the universe there is a species of blue humanoid creatures named cre their culture is militaristic and they rule a fascist Empire from their home planet of Hala but One race resists their rule the Scrolls humanoid reptilians with shape-shifting abilities and their resistance plants the seeds for a war that will last centuries around the same time the cre and Nova Empire enter their own Thousand-Year War meanwhile in China Shu wenwu discovers the 10 Rings an ancient artifact of UN known Origins while wearing them he has granted immortality and immense power which he uses to become a conqueror leading an army he calls the 10 Rings 400 years later Odin brings an important artifact to Earth the Tesseract a cube-shaped vessel containing the space Stone one of the six Infinity Stones somehow it came into Odin's possession and for reasons unknown he brought it to Earth where it is hidden at a Church in Norway in 1521 the eternals complete their mission killing what they believe is the last of the deviants but druig especially feels anything but Victorious perhaps they protected humankind from one monster but they had failed to protect humankind from itself War rages and with the blink of an eye Druid could just control them all he could just make them stop but it's not allowed meanwhile Fina suffers panic attacks causing her to lash out violently the only cure is to wipe her memories clean but Fina does not want to lose herself and neither does Gilgamesh he promises to take responsibility for her he will stay with her and if the worst happens if she becomes too violent to contain he will kill her himself the eternals will later learn the true reason for her Affliction memories of their past missions are creeping into her mind memories of death and destruction at the altar of emergence despite these difficult circumstances ajac announces that with their mission complete they are free to go free to discover their own purpose in the world and live their own lives in 1571 as Spanish colonizers invade Mayan civilization smallpox spreads among the indigenous people however one Village is saved when a shaman has a vision it leads him to an underwater plant growing from vibranium apparently the meteorite which formed wakanda was not the only one and like the heart-shaped herb this plant also has strange effects on those who ingest it the Village People are cured but the plant turns them blue and Alters their breathing so they can only survive underwater so that's where they go forming the underwater city of talocan one woman Fen was pregnant at the time she ingested the plant and her son is born a mutant unlike the others in the tribe his skin is not blue and he retains the ability to breathe above water in addition his aging process is slowed tremendously and wings on his ankles allow him to fly one day when his mother passes the boy takes her body above water to their Hometown where she hoped to be buried there he finds his people enslaved by colonizers he kills them all and one man with his dying breath s calls the boy Nino camore or the boy without love and the mutant twists the phrase to adopt a new name instead of Nino camore he becomes simply namore from then on he leads his people and helps them remain hidden from evils of the outside world and should their secret ever be at risk he will respond without Mercy in 1693 a witch named Agatha Harkness is tied to a p by her own mother and coven they attempt to execute her for practicing dark magic but when they unleash their power she absorbs it all leaving nothing behind not even their lives with the coven dead she lives and continues her quest to obtain the most powerful Magics in 1933 Hitler Rises to power in 1935 he sends Johan Schmidt the head of the Nazis research division Hydra to kidnap Dr Abraham Erskine who has been working to develop a serum to enhance a person's abilities a super soldier serum ostensibly this is to support the Nazi regime but Schmidt has his own interest in the serum he's heard Legends of an artifact left behind by the gods which only a superior man can obtain that artifact is the Tesseract and The God Who left it is Odin in 1940 hoping to become that superior man of Legend Schmidt forces Erskine to use the drug on him it does enhance his abilities but also disfigures him his hideous appearance earns him the moniker Red Skull a couple of days later uran is rescued by Peggy Carter an MI5 agent recruited to America's strategic scientific Reserve or SSR their answered to Hydra they quickly enlist ERS Skin's help along with their other recent recruit Howard Stark after impressing the world with the technology he developed through his own Stark Industries Howard was recruited by the ssr's head Chester Phillips in March 1942 Schmidt finds the Tesseract at that church in Norway over the next year he and his lead scientist Dr arim Zola will run tests on the mysterious artifact and use it to develop powerful weapons that same year two beings From Another Dimension Aisha and najma search for a way home they are from the nor Dimension but were exiled here along with three others and in the temple of the 10 rings in British occupied India they find a magic bangle which may offer the power they need but they're forced to separate when British soldiers attack the temple Aisha leaves with the Bengal promising najma they will soon reunite meanwhile as Red Skull works on weaponizing the space Stone contain Tesseract the SSR is hard at work on Project rebirth an initiative to harness Ur Skin's super soldier serum for good all they need is the right person to take it and one day Erskine finds him at the first Stark Expo in 1943 he meets Steve Rogers a young man unfit to serve due to his physical stature and plethora of health issues but he has tremendous Spirit he's been rejected many times over over but every time he spots a recruitment tent Rogers attempts to enlist again it's his duty to fight for his country and no matter how many people tell him no he will not give up Erskine recruits Rogers to project rebirth where he is one of many candidates for the serum most Eclipse Rogers and Braun but he more than makes up for it in his problem solving skills bravery and most importantly heart Erskine tells Rogers more about the serum it amplifies what is inside a man hence Schmidt's transformation into Red Skull but in Steve he sees compassion on his way to the procedure Steve and Peggy Carter get to know each other and relate over the many doors shut to them Steve for his stature and Peggy for being a woman in the 40s it also quickly becomes obvious Steve doesn't have much experience with women not even dancing Peggy asks what he's waiting for and he answers the right partner soon it's time for the procedure and it works he enters the chamber his scrawny self and comes out looking like a superhero a superhero who soon takes on the name Captain America but after the experiment a Hydra spy steals the rest of the serum and kills Erskine as he dies in Steve's arms the doctor has no ability to speak so he only taps AP Steve's chest reminding him why he was chosen and what he must never lose the new and improved Rogers chases down the spy and catches him but not before he destroys the serum and chews a cyanide pill with Erskine dead and the serum gone Philip's hope for an army of super soldiers is gone and all he's left with is one man one untrained man so rather than send Steven to battle Phillips turns Captain America into a figurehead to sell war bonds until Rogers hears the news much of the 107th infantry was captured by Hydra including his best friend James Barnes or Bucky their 30 miles Behind Enemy Lines too dangerous for Phillips to risk a rescue mission Steve finally learns that sometimes doing the right thing and following orders aren't the same thing he heads into enemy territory alone and comes back with the 107th Infantry Regiment though while in captivity Bucky was given a variant of the super soldier serum as part of Hydra experiments returning home a hero Steve Rogers grows closer with Peggy though his time with her is limited because he has a mission Rogers forms a small group dubbed The Howling Commandos intent on taking down Hydra over the next year

in time to foil red skull's plot to drop Mass bombs across the us only problem in order to stop it Rogers is forced to sacrifice himself by crashing red skull's plane into the ocean on his way down he and Peggy share some Last Words setting a date for that dance Rogers will miss that date he survives the crash but ends up Frozen underwater leaving the world to think he's dead as for Red Skull he learns not to meddle with powers Beyond his control the space Stone inside the Tesseract casts him out to a Barren planet called vormir there he has made the guardian of the Soul Stone awaiting the arrival of any who seek it the space Stone meanwhile falls to the ocean floor inside the Tesseract in the aftermath Howard Stark searches for Rogers but only manages to find the Tesseract meanwhile Bucky is found but not by the good guys thanks to the super soldier serum he survived his fall at the danu river he's discovered by the Soviets and soon Dr arim Zola tracks him down how did the good

only one to achieve a major scientific breakthrough in the 60s there is also scientist Hank Pim he discovers the Pim particle a formula to change the distance between atoms to shrink things he uses

Syndicate known as ravager to abduct those children and bring them to him but each was a disappointment all were mortal and none carried the celestial Gene so ego killed them all slowly amassing a tomb beneath the surface of his planet in the mid 80s Earth is visited Again by a scientist who calls himself the high evolutionary obsessed with creating the perfect Society populated by Perfect creatures he has a look around and finds much to admire in Earth's art and cultures but he despises Humanity's proclivity for violence and bigotry he leaves with a goal of creating a new planet including all the good he saw on Earth but none of the bad and to populate the new world he takes various animals with him for cybernetic and genetic experimentation included among them are raccoons

Hank Pimp's time with Shield comes to an end when he discovers that they led by Howard Stark have been trying to recreate the pin particle something he locked away after losing his wife because he knew it was too dangerous so he resigns and locks away his research again that same year a hero is born Carol Danvers and Maria Rambo are close friends in the US Air Force despite their unequivocal skill being female has disqualified them from flying in combat but they found a way to do something that mattered anyway piloting test flights for Dr Wendy Lawson in the light speed engine she's developing one day during a test flight Lawson provides Danvers with coordinates to her laboratory but before they arrive their plane is shot down by cre realizing her time is limited the badly wounded lson reveals her identity she is not human her real name is marll and she is also cre although it's been a thousand years her species still fights the Scrolls but recently she learned the truth she's been fighting for the bad guys the cre have brought Scrolls to the brink of Extinction just for refusing the C's rule so she defected hoping to build a light speed Engine That Could bring the few remaining Scrolls to a new home far from the cre reach to do it she would need the power of the space Stone contained inside the Tesseract located on Earth so she came here disguised as Dr Lawson and harnessed the power of the Tesseract to create her engine un fortunately the cre have now found her after divulging the truth marll begs danverse to remember the coordinates for her lab then tries to shoot the engine before the cre get their hands on it but Commander yonr shoots her first so Danvers finishes the job for her she shoots the engine releasing a burst of space Stone energy which is absorbed into her genetic code this gives her tremendous power which one day will allow her to become Captain Marvel for now it knocks her unconscious Yan Rog takes advantage of the opportunity by bringing her back to Hala they install an implant to inhibit her powers and her memory then they lie telling her that she is not human but that she is cre and that the implant is what gives her power for the next 6 years she will believe it and she will continue to fight the unjust War marll tried so hard to stop on December 16th 1991 Tony Stark disappoints his father again

smarter more powerful weapons the likes of which the world has never seen meanwhile there is trouble in wakanda tachaka is the current King and Black Panther in keeping with long-held custom he keeps wakanda hidden from the world along with their knowledge and vibranium but that does not sit well with his brother n jobu as a member of the war dogs wakanda's intelligence service njobo is one of the few people who have spent time in the outside world and what he's seen has left him disappointed people just like them oppressed and struggling while wakanda sits comfortably behind invisible force fields he called for Global Uprising fueled by wakanda vibranium but of course tachaka upheld wakanda's isolationist policies and refused so when jobu took matters into his own hands he recruited arms dealer ulyses claw to infiltrate wakanda and steal vibranium the attack was messy and many wakandans were killed in 1992 in jobu's role in the attack is discovered when he's betrayed by his friend James who reveals that he too is wakandan his real name is Zuri and just like in jobu he's a war doog after Zuri reports what he's seen tachaka comes from wakanda to arrest his brother but nju refuses to go quietly he pulls a gun on Zuri forcing to aaka to strike him down having killed his own brother King tachaka covers up the truth by lying telling wakanda that in jobu disappeared and he abandons in jobu's son in America a boy named Eric finding his father dead with Panther claws in his chest Eric knows it was tachaka who killed him the boy inherits his father's dream of global Uprising and decides that he will train himself to become a killing machine so one day he can visit his father's homeland of wakanda and claim his revenge a couple of years later a 9-year-old Matthew Murdoch loses

and when they move stick teaches him that these are gifts he teaches him how to focus using ice cream as an example showing Matt how to taste every ingredient and where they came from and he teaches him to fight but Matt does not know the real reason stick trains him it is not out of kindness or the check the church wrote him it's because he needs Warriors there is a place called Klan a city in another dimension where the elders once studied how to harness their Chi the energy of life itself in order to heal but five Heretics wanted more immortality they were banished and for the last centuries or possibly Millennia they have sustained their lives with Sinister power continuing their search for immortality killing anyone who gets in their way stick is part of an organization called the chaste formed by the Survivor of a village massacred by the hand and if they are going to stop the hand they will need fighters in Matthew Murdoch stick sees potential for one that same year Carol Danvers returns to earth though not intentionally she still believes herself cre and still looks up to Marvel's killer Yan Rog as a mentor but meanwhile the Scrolls led by General Taos have been searching for marvell's energy Corp so they can finish the work she started and reach their new home there's search brings them to Danvers they capture her and search her mind for coordinates or any clue for the energy corp's whereabouts they find memories of Earth so that's where they go but she wakes up thinking the Scrolls her enemy she fights them off escapes and crash lands in a blockbuster which catches the attention of Shield Nick Fury works with her to discover her past and they find an old friend Maria Rambo seeing Maria and her daughter Monica who always looked up to her helps unlock hidden memories she remembers the truth so when Taos arrives Danvers is ready to listen he tells her about their search for the core and how marll was trying to help them she believes him and agrees to help Danvers recalls the coordinates Lawson gave her and realizes it points to a laboratory in orbit around Earth though before they set off Monica picks out some new colors for her to replace the creep look she now denounces in the floating lab they find the energy Corp the Tesseract and they find scroll refugees marll was keeping safe including ts's family the happy reunion is cut short when yonr arrives with a squad of cre they take the Tesseract and subdue Danvers until she realizes that the implant on her neck has been inhibiting her powers her entire life she's been held back and knocked down but every time she's gotten back up this time is no different she destroys the implant and with her full Powers unleashed the cre are no match Danver sends yonr home with a message she's coming to end their war and their lies in the aftermath Fury's left ey scratched by Marvel's pet flurin leaving a wound that will never fully heal and Danvers leaves Earth to help the Scrolls find their new home though she leaves Fury with a pager to reach her in case of emergency and leaves a tesseract in his care back in his office Fury speaks with Agent Coulson about how this experience has opened his eyes well his eye to the level of potential threats which are out there threats on an Intergalactic scale Shield is not enough to protect them so he gets to work drafting something he calls the protector initiative to create a team of humankind's most abled individuals though going through Carol danver's file he notices her old call sign Avenger and he likes the sound of it thus The Avengers Initiative is born and as danver's promised to yonr she heads to Hala personally to stop the war she destroys the Supreme intelligence the AI which runs their planet in Hell's Kitchen Matt Murdoch's training comes to an abrupt end to be a warrior means to be alone friend friends and relationships are distractions one day Matt gives stick a gift a bracelet made from the wrapper of that ice cream stick bought him the day they met the first one anyone bought Matt since his dad died the sentimental gift is proof enough that Matthew is no Warrior stick announces that their training is at an end and Matt is not the only child who suddenly finds himself alone in Ohio there is also the 10-year-old Natasha Romano off she has not had an easy life as an infant she was deemed to have strong jeans so she was bought from her father by General drov to be trained in the Red Room a brutal Soviet Russian program which turns young girls into expert assassins called black widows and a healthy dose of brainwashing ures loyalty her mother was not okay with this she relentlessly searched and fought to bring Natasha home but her efforts only put her in draco's crosshairs and got were killed for the last 3 years Natasha has been posing as a daughter and sister the Red Room had assigned Molina vov and Alexis shostakov on an underground mission to infiltrate a shield location in Ohio to steal brain research this would take time so they were ordered to pose as a married couple and given two daughters to maintain the ruse Natasha romanof and another girl named yena Bova Alexius found the mission painfully boring considering his background in the Cold War he was administered a super soldier serum created by the Soviets turning him into the Red Guardian their answer to Captain America he enjoyed the role and would much prefer to Dawn that costume in battle over the suit and tie he's been forced to wear posing as a shield employee biting his time finally in 1995 he obtains the brain research and their family is dissolved this is hard on Natasha who is aware it was all fake but still enjoyed them as the only family she ever knew but it's especially hard on y Elena she was three when the mission began and came to believe her family was real now she will be put through the same brutal training as Natasha training which only one in 20 children survive in Argentina a ghost is born Elias star used to work for shield until Hank Pim fired and discredited him so he continued Quantum research on his own and without Hank's oversight took bigger risks

enough for the other half to flourish this way rather than everyone dying half would survive they scoffed at the insane suggestion and cast him out as Thanos predicted resources dwindled and they all died in the time since he's become convinced the entire universe will suffer the same fate unless half of all living beings are killed so Thanos amast an army and has been going planet to planet

Harvard together years earlier but on that day in 2005 things go wrong with their budget close to running out in the project on life support Banner makes the drastic decision to test it on himself the result he turns into a Hulk and green monster anytime his stress levels rise too high in the days that follow Ross admits the truth to Banner and tries to enlist his help in finishing the work they started perfecting the serum after all a few hulks in the military would make them a force to be reckoned with but Banner refuses to become a weapon and instead Goes On The Run becoming a fugitive and

tells her son the story of the 10 Rings how she and his father met and she tells him how she managed to beat his father she used magic of the great protector an ability only available to her in talo though she can't bring shangqi to her home she gives him a small piece of it a green pendant promising whenever he feels lost it will help him find his way home soon just as the elders feared when M's past catches up with him while he's out Yin trains her son in the techniques which allowed her to harness the great protector's power a power unavailable to her when the iron gang shows up they've had a grievance with her husband after 10 years ago he nearly destroyed their gang as punishment for selling weapons in his territory now as repayment they murder his wife while shangqi watches when his father sees the body he picks up his 10 rings for the first time in a decade and brings the boy to watch him Massacre the iron gang he doesn't find their boss who actually ordered the hit but for now he settles for the blood of his men Shu wenu looks at his traumatized son and tells him a blood debt has to be paid by blood from then on he puts shangi through brutal training to ensure that one day he will be strong enough to wield the 10 Rings himself and though his sister shaing is forbidden from joining the training she watches and teaches herself to be even better in Oklahoma a young Maya Lopez is about to begin her own Journey she was born deaf like her mother this can make things difficult for her but the struggle also makes her stronger and so does her family including her cousin Bonnie who is more like a sister to her one night during a sleepover Maya and her mother drive out for some hot cocoa but the brakes were cut and she can't stop at the intersection the resulting crash kills Maya's mother and she loses a leg as a result of her own injuries after that Maya's grandmother Chula wants nothing to do with her or her Father William this was all his fault his involvement in

upand cominging Crim Lord and he becomes something like an uncle to Maya watching Fisk and her father Maya trains hard in martial arts hoping to follow in their footsteps even if her father wishes she wouldn't over two decades after visiting Earth the high evolutionary continues his experiments to create perfect beings for a perfect New World included in batch 89 is an otter walrus and rabbit each has been augmented with Rob otics granting them higher intellect and the ability to speak they are soon joined by a terrified young raccoon who has just been through the same torturous process as them ripped from the others of his kind torn apart put back together and tossed in a cage but these other animals offer him comfort and the raccoon subject 89p13 makes his first friends and to the high evolutionary the results are thus far promising the raccoon is smart the high evolutionary shows him counterar the new world he's created for where the experiments will go once they're ready it's the first time this raccoon has seen the outside he's AED by it and is particularly taken by something he sees flying in the Great Blue Sky a rocket and he's discovered a new hobby stealing little things left behind by scientists the high evolutionary shows him the latest batch of experiments rather than grafting robotics onto animals he's found a way to rapidly evolve them into humanoid animen but they always turn violent making them unfit for his Utopia the raccoon quickly spots the problem and tells the scientist how to fix it the experiments will soon be ready the raccoon and his three friends look forward to finally reaching their new home in a new world and before they arrive the otter suggests they should each pick a name something more than 89 q12 or 89p13 she chooses Lyla The Walrus chooses teeths and the rabbit who happens to be lying on the floor chooses floor as for the raccoon he tells his friends someday I'm going to make great machines that fly and me and my friends are going to go flying together into the forever and beautiful sky Laya and TS and floor and me right Rock ET but rocket is gravely mistaken the high evolutionary creates batch 92 based on 89 p13 suggestion and it works the animen are no longer rageful but how did this raccoon no the high evolutionary is furious he himself could not solve the rage problem yet somehow this creature his own creation knew better nevertheless batch 92 is ready for the new world we're going to the new world rocket asks the high evolutionary is almost amused to learn the raccoon a crudely cobbled together experiment a medley of mistakes to learn from thought he would be joining them in the new world no the raccoon's brain is to be removed for research and the rest of batch 89 is to be incinerated rocket breaks the news to his friends and moves quickly he uses the items he stole to build a key card which will allow them to escape then they'll steal a rocket and fly away the card works and the high evolutionary knew he knew rocket would try something and he was ready a bullet pierces lyla's heart rocket screams in agony and takes out his rage on the High evolutionary's face he trades bullets with men who come for him and they fall but so do his friends floor and THS rocket runs he grabs a ship and he flies Off Alone by 2008 Natasha Romanov has been through the Red Room and killed many on their behalf something she's come to detest but can't escape until Shield sends Clint Barton after her a bow and arrow wielding agent code named Hawkeye but rather than kill Natasha he sees good in her and instead helps her defect from the Red Room and join Shield her first mission kill General drov and take down the Red Room she and Hawkeye head to Budapest where Natasha does something which will haunt her for years she watches draco's daughter enter the building to confirm he's in there then gives Clint the order to blow it up with the girl inside to escape the aftermath Clinton Natasha shoot it out with Hungarian Special Forces and hide out for 10 days until they can leave believing the Red Room destroyed but unbeknownst to her it survives and so does drov meaning her one sister y Elena is still captive to it meanwhile Tony Stark continues to run Stark Industries successfully some accuse him of profiteering creating weapons that fuel Global Warfare but those criticisms are easy to ignore as he lives the Playboy lifestyle of a billionaire but all that will soon change his father's old business partner obadia has grown tired of living in Tony's Shadow and hir the 10 rings to assassinate him when Tony visits Afghanistan to demonstrate his new Jericho missile for the US military the 10 Rings make their move an explosion takes out Stark's Convoy and nearly kills him but the 10 Rings force a doctor in their captivity ho yansen to save his life Tony wakes up with a car battery powered electromagnet in his chest which stops the shrapnel in his bloodstream from reaching his heart why did they save him once the 10 Rings realized who their target was they realized he is worth a lot more to them than obadiah's payment instead of killing him they forc Tony to build them their own Jericho missile with the threat of execution Tony agrees but in secret he works with yinsen to build something else an exoskeleton a prototype for what will become the Iron Man armor and Tony builds a small Arc Reactor inspired by his father's work to replace the electromagnet in his chest and power the suit using the armor Tony escapes but only thanks to Yensen sacrifice he buys Tony the time they need to power the suit by getting himself killed but before passing he has enough breath left to make Tony promise not to waste his second chance at life Tony kills most of his captors then leaves the compound by Crash Landing far from it he ditches the busted armor to reach his rescue party which includes his old friend from MIT now US Air Force officer James roads or Roadie returning home Tony holds to the promise he made Yensen by announcing that Stark Industries will no longer manufacture weapons and by paying a little more attention to the people close to him including his assistant pepper pots in the spirit of bettering the world Tony turns his attention to renewable energy starting by building another more powerful Arc Reactor he replaces the one in his chest and discards it though pepper holds on to it encasing it in a display with the words proof that Tony Stark has a heart the new reactor is strong strong enough to power the mark 2 Armor an armor Stark is inspired to build after his experience in the desert he works on it in secret with help from his AI companion Jarvis one night at a stark sponsored charity event Tony and pepper grow closer as they share a dance and nearly kiss but his night takes a sour turn when he learns something about obadia stain he's been selling Stark weapons to the 10 Rings Why by arming the US Military and their enemies War rages on and so do their profits outraged Tony suits up and visits Goa A Village Under Siege by the 10 rings the village where ho Yensen and his family used to live using the armor Tony easily freezed them all catching the attention of the US Air Force but Tony calls roie to reveal he's the guy in the suit and his friend does his best to cover for him back home Tony confides in Pepper about the armor he's built and what he's learned about stain to find out more she snoops on obadiah's computer revealing he's the one who hired the 10 rings to to grab Tony obadia quickly notices Pepper's snooping and notices she's taking evidence with her he's in trouble but he won't go down without a fight the 10 Rings were able to find Tony's original suit in the desert and Obadiah used it to build his own he just needs a way to power it so he helps himself to the ark reactor in Tony's chest leaving him to die thankfully this was the second one he built and thankfully pepper thoughts is sentimental so she saved the first now it saves Tony's life the two men Dawn their armor and fight in the battle Tony pushes himself and the suit to the Limit only to find it isn't enough he'll need help and he gets it from pepper and from Agent Coulson of Shield whose attention Tony attracted thanks to his recent actions they defeat stain and kill him in the process the next day the public names this unidentified savior Iron Man and Coulson helps maintain his secret identity by creating an alibi but Tony has plans of his own he steps before the press and makes an announcement I'm Iron Man that night he finds Nick Fury waiting at his home there to tell him about something called The Avengers Initiative and while Fury recruits his Heroes a villain prepares to ascend in Earth's distant future a man will discover the mult Multiverse and meet variants of himself from other worlds one variant seeks to conquer other worlds earning himself the name Kang the Conqueror the other variants Exile him to a place outside time and space the quantum realm where Janet vany has been stranded for over 20 years since stopping the Soviet missile when Kang arrives he introduces himself as a harmless traveler who crash landed he explains that his ship can travel between worlds if Janet could help him fix it they could both go home together they repair the multiversal energy core needed to power the ship a ship which happens to be neurokinetic the moment Kang turns it on his and Janet's minds are connected she sees who he really is an exile who has destroyed entire worlds and timelines and will destroy more if allowed to leave Janet quickly blows up the core using pin particles stranding Kang and herself in the quantum Realm by 2010 Stark has only become more renowned as a hero the people celebrate his success at the opening ceremony of Stark Expo but he has a problem the core which keeps the shrapnel in his body at Bay is powered by Palladium a substance which is apparently toxic and killing him he doesn't have much time left he keeps this to himself but his actions show it in fact he picks his successor promoting pepper pots to CEO which means he needs a new assistant so he chooses Natalie rushman unaware this is actually Natasha romanof sent by Fury to spy on him a few days later Tony recklessly decides to race in the Monaco Grand Prix and this is when Ivan venko son of the Russian scientist deported by Howard chooses to strike picking up from his father's research Ivan has managed to build his own arc reactor and exoskeleton the race is interrupted by his attack with electrified whips but with help from pepper his driver SL bodyguard happy Hogan and his Mark 5 suitcase suit Tony defeats the villain meanwhile after a 5-year search Dr Bruce Banner is located in Rio de Janeiro Ross sends a team after him including ex special ops Commander Emil blansky the Hulk escapes meaning Blonsky failed that doesn't sit well and taking down the Hulk becomes his personal Vendetta and banner makes his next move he's been in contact with scientist Dr Samuel Sterns who's been helping him find a cure Banner has been sending him blood samples but to make any further progress they'll need data from the original experiment so he heads back to America to get it and in America the government is in a panic over Ivan vanko's public display it's signals that others can replicate Iron Man Tech including America's enemies this puts pressure on them to get a hold of that Tech themselves Ro warns Tony that if he doesn't hand it over they will take it by force meanwhile Stark Industries competitor Justin Hammer has grown tired of living in the shadow of Tony Stark they simply can't keep up with Stark technology and Tony has no shame in reminding them of it but Justin sees opportunity in Ivan with Hammer's investment Ivan could build something to outclass even Stark so he breaks him out of jail and hires him to build some weapons Justin hopes to show them off at Stark Expo and embarrass Tony but Ivan has other plans revenge and in a few days over just a one-week period Tony will fight for his life Hulk will be revealed to the world and so will Thor it all begins the night of Tony Stark's Birthday Tony drinks away the wo of impending death by Palladium and things get dangerous when the drunk billionaire puts on his arm to show off its firing power Ro steals the mark 2 Armor and confronts his friend demanding he stop but Tony won't listen to reason and they fight until roie takes off with the armor the next day he hands it over to the US Air Force where Justin Hammer is brought in to examine it and make some upgrades turning Tony's Mark 2 Armor into the war machine armor all of this has been reported back to Fury by Romanov so he finally confronts Tony to set him on the right path Nick hands over some of Tony's father's old things and Promises they contain something which will solve his Palladium problem meanwhile there is trouble in Asgard during Thor's coronation Frost Giants break into Odin's Vault to steal back their casket of ancient Winters but they are easily killed by the destroyer in a taton built by Odin to guard his vault young Brash and thirsty for war Thor insists on heading to yodenheim to punish the frost Giants for their transgression but Odin wisely orders that they keep the peace orders which Thor ignores he rounds up a few of his friends and crosses the Rainbow Bridge to the bifrost which allows them to teleport between the nine Realms the bifrost is guarded by Heim doll and as guardian with a near omnicient ability to see anything happening within the nine Realms disturbed by the frost Giant's ability to get past him earlier he lets Thor and his friends through to investigate despite Odin's orders to leave things be in yodenheim Thor reaks havoc on the frost Giants and Loki learned something about himself the touch of the frost Giants should be deadly but for some reason it isn't harmful to Loki on Earth Tony goes through the box and finds footage of his father taken while recording his welcome speech for a stark Expo of years pass between takes he decided to leave a message for his son where he tells t Tony what is and always will be my greatest creation is you something Tony badly needed to hear after never hearing anything close to it while his father was alive and he finds plans for an element Superior to Palladium something his father theorized but didn't have the technology to actually synthesize now in 2010 Tony does he creates the new element and with that his life is saved the core is no longer power by toxic Palladium but by this new safer element in yodenheim before things get too out of hand Odin arrives to take the asgardians home and as punishment for his Reckless actions he banishes Thor to midgard also known as Earth he also takes away Thor's hammer mner the weapon which helps Channel his powers Odin casts a spell to ensure it can only be held by one who is worthy then sends it to Earth as well on Earth physic assists Jane Foster and Professor Eric Selvig along with intern Darcy Lewis have been researching strange anomalies in the skies Thor's arrival in the middle of one reveals them to be wormholes produced by the bifrost that night Justin Hammer has his presentation at Stark Expo including James rhods in the upgraded War Machine armor and an army of drones but the armor and drones are quickly hijacked by venko who turns them on the crowd but a now healthy Tony has just arrived he leads the Army away while happy and Romanov go after Veno directly while pepper coordinates with police to protect the civilians vanko escapes but Romanov hacks his terminal to return control of the suit to roads allowing him and Tony to fight together they quickly destroy most of the drones and when Veno shows up himself they destroy him too but the remaining drones are rigged to explode including one right next to to Pepper Tony arrives just in time to save her and before the adrenaline wears off the two finally kiss the next day Banner visits his old lab but finds all the data on his experiment erased on Asgard Loki wonders why the frost Giant's touch left him unharmed he demands answers and Odin finally gives them revealing Loki's true nature as a frost giant the baby abandoned by the king of yodenheim Loki yells at his father for the lies but Oden collapses into a coma old age takes its toll leaving Loki to usurp the throne meanwhile Jane and Company introduce Thor to Earthly Delicacies like Pop-Tarts until they hear about the crater 50 Mi away where Thor surises his hammer landed that night he fights his way past the shield perimeter which has already formed but when he grabs the hammer it won't budge he's not yet worthy Coulson takes him in and while and shield custody Loki pays him a visit he lies telling Thor their father is dead and their mother insists he remain banished Thor accepts his fate as an outcast and Coulson lets him go though has him followed he returns to Jane's trailer he finally tells her about Asgard and the nine Realms things which fill the scientist's mind with wonder they talk late into the night and she finds herself falling in love with a God and Thor finds himself falling in love with a mortal meanwhile Loki visits his biological father Lai King of the frost Giants and plots behind Odin's back he agrees to let Lai into Odin's Chambers while he sleeps so he can kill the Asgardian King in reality Loki intends to kill ly before he gets to Odin as part of a plot to paint himself as a hero finally winning Odin's affection over Thor and solidifying his place as Heir upon Loki's return He do is suspicious Loki used magic to cloak his whereabouts blocking Heim doll's ability to see him he realizes Loki was likely dealing with ly behind his back and that Loki was the one who let in the frost Giants yesterday somehow he found secret Pathways between Realms and was able to open a portal to yodenheim without the bifrost he'd done it just to mess up Thor's big day but now Loki sees opportunity for much more he could be king that same night despite Banner's attempt to remain hidden Betty Ross spots him they share a tearful reunion and she reveals that when Ross hid away their data she secretly kept some of it meanwhile Ross offers a blansky an experimental dose of their super soldier serum and he enthusiastically agrees to take it he'll do whatever it takes to even the playing field against the Hulk the next morning Betty and Bruce prepared to part ways when he's attacked by Ross's men and a serum enhanced blansky the Hulk emerges and in the ensuing battle blansky is badly wounded Betty is nearly caught in the crossfire but the Hulk protects her and the general watches the monster save his daughter's life then leave with her in their battle on the college campus does not go unnoticed by the public in New Mexico another public battle occurs having caught on to Loki's schemes Heimdall sends Thor's friends to Earth behind Loki's back but Loki quickly learns what he's done so he freezes Heim doll and sends the Destroyer to Earth Thor and his friends fight the automaton but are no match for it until Thor offers to sacrifice himself hoping to protect his friends and the nearby civilians he is severely wounded and Jane cries over the Dying God a God who has proven himself worthy mner returns to Thor and so do it Powers the God of Thunder destroys the destroyer and in the aftermath he agrees to be coulson's ally should the need arise in the future Thor shouts for heimall to return them home the guardian of the bifrost frees himself from Loki's ice and opens the bridge Thor promises Jane he will return then they kiss and he leaves he returns to Asgard just in time to find Loki killing Lai stopping the frost giant from assassinating Odin then Loki sets a plan in motion to use the Rainbow Bridge to destroy yodenheim he hopes that when Odin wakes up he'll see Loki saved his life and destroyed their enemy making him worthy of the throne but as much as Thor was willing to fight the frost Giants earlier committing genocide on their race is something else entirely so he stops Loki the only way he can by destroying the bridge severing their means of travel between worlds and sacrificing any hope of visiting Jane he and Loki fall into the void but Odin wakes just in time to catch them Thor is saved but Loki has other plans he lets go and Falls to Parts Unknown two days later Bruce and Betty meet with Dr Samuel Sterns now that they have the data it's time to actually try administering the Cure the results are inconclusive and they're interrupted Anyway by Ross and blansky's arrival Ross takes Bruce into custody while blansky stays behind at gunpoint he forces Sterns to give him some of what Bruce has after a taste he wants more than what the general serum has to offer the result is an Abomination blansky becomes an uncontrolled monster and Rampages through the city seeing the Abominations Rampage Bruce begs the general to take him back so he can stop him and seeing no other choice the general agrees Bruce leaps from the jet he can't control the Hulk but maybe he can aim it by the time he lands Bruce is gone and in his place is the Incredible Hulk the two monsters fight and after a lengthy battle the Hulk is victorious in the chaos Sterns gets a head wound and some of Bruce's blood drips into it seemingly having an Effect planting the seeds for Sterns to One Day become the villain known as the leader in the aftermath Betty approaches him the Hulk collects one of her tears and says her name but Bruce and the Hulk both know they can't be with her it would only put her in danger again so the green monster runs away but with a new goal in mind Bruce will no longer try to rid himself of the Hulk instead he will learn to control it one year later Shield discovers Captain America Frozen and preserved in the icy waters where he crashed red skull's plane he wakes up in Nick Fury's custody his first moments are chaos wondering where and when he is realization quickly sets in he's been asleep for 70 years though his conversation with Peggy feels like moments ago a conversation where they set a date for that long promised dance meanwhile after years of painstakingly killing one half of a population after another Thanos has realized there is a better way if if he could obtain all six Infinity Stones he could combine their power and with the snap of his finger erase half the population of the universe in one Fell Swoop first he sets his sights on the space Stone contained inside the Tesseract and makes a deal with Loki to obtain it it seems that after falling into that void 2 years ago the energy of the bifrost eventually brought Loki to the sanctuary an asteroid field where the other conduit to Thanos meets with Loki to strike the bargain if Loki steals the Tesseract they'll give him an army to conquer Humanity craving power and Vengeance after losing Asgard Loki takes the deal armed with a powerful scepter capable of Destruction and mind control Loki has no trouble stealing the Tesseract from Fury and with the scepter he takes control of Clint Barton AKA Hawkeye and professor Selvig Fury and one of his best agents Maria Hill chase after Loki but to no avail and Loki quickly puts the professor to work building a machine that will open a portal for his army composed of an alien race called chitauri with a tesseract gone and their facility destroyed Nick Fury announces that they are at War for the battle ahead their first recruit is Natasha Romanov she's hesitant to skip out on her current Mission but once she hears that Barton is in trouble she quickly joins the fight her orders are to recruit Bruce Banner she finds him living as a doctor in India he's hesitant until she tells him the stakes the Tesseract has the energy to wipe out their planet and it's been taken they don't know where to but it emits low levels of gamma radiation something Banner is intimately familiar with Steve Rogers who hasn't had a mission in 70 years needs little convincing to join the cause Tony Stark's only hesitation is leaving pepper behind but they recognize the urgency of the mission and she promises she'll be waiting for him after using their Global surveillance Shield finds Loki and fury sends Captain America after him he arrives just in time to save an innocent life though he struggles in a one-on-one brawl with Loki until Iron Man shows up they take him into custody but it seems that Odin was able to use some dark magic to send Thor to Earth even without the bifrost Thor grabs his brother and it takes some time for him and Iron Man to realize they're on the same side but with Captain America's help they unite and Thor returns Loki to Shield custody as Stark and banner analyze Loki's staff for Clues on the tesser location Stark asks what his secret is how has Banner learned to keep from transforming into the Hulk before he can answer Rogers interrupts he's shocked to learn that Stark in Banner suspect Fury is hiding something but their suspicion is contagious and Rogers investigates he quickly discovers the truth Fury intends on using the Tessa's power to make weapons of mass destruction the team confronts him but Fury points out that with godlevel threats out there Humanity needs more firing power the team argues and Things become personal Rogers accus uses Stark of being nothing behind his suit of armor when the chips are down Stark fights for himself he doesn't know how to sacrifice when necessary they're interrupted by an attack led by the mind-controlled Hawkeye Banner is finally pushed too far the Hulk emerges the team puts Petty differences aside and works together Captain America and Iron Man fix the damage to the ship Thor contains Hulk as best he can until the green monster plummets from the ship and turns back into Bruce and Natasha takes on Barton hitting his head hard enough to wake him up although they fight off their attackers it's not without cost Fury shares the bad news not only did Loki Escape but he also killed Agent Coulson and he tells them about the Avengers Initiative how he hoped to bring a group of extraordinary people together to fight the battles they couldn't Coulson believed in that Vision Fury inflames their guilt by showing the bloodied Captain America trading cards he found in coulson's Pocket Coulson looked up to the heroes and apparently it cost him his life in truth Fury found the cards in coulson's locker but he knew the team needed something to Rally around Coulson knew it too so he used his death to that end and it works they quickly rally and get back to work as a team they realize Loki is vain and would want an audience to witness his Conquest he'll open the portal at Stark Tower in the middle of Manhattan Iron Man gets there first but too late to stop the machine the portal opens the chitauri arrive and the Battle of New York begins working together they protect civilians and fight the Swarm in the midst of battle Banner Reveals His secret to containing the hook he's always angry and today he lets the anger flow Hulk wreaks havoc on the enemy but as long as the portal remains open the Swarm keeps coming and there's a ticking clock they don't know about yet the world Security Council tells Fury that the threat needs to be contained even if it cost them a city and all the lives within it they prepared to launch a nuclear strike in the chaos Selvig is woken up and reveals that even under Loki's power some part of him was present and created a fail safe to close the portal he and Natasha get to work Fury alerts Stark to the incoming nuclear missile which has just launched Stark tells Romanov to hold off on closing the portal so he can grab the nuke and bring It Through the Wormhole to detonate far from Earth he knows it'll be a one-way trip but it's a sacrifice he's willing to make Tony calls pepper to say farewell the call goes unanswered so without the luxury of Last Words Stark flies into the portal and he falls just as the bomb explodes he falls back through the portal just before it closes his suit fails him and he kin toward death until Hulk catches him Tony Stark lives and the world is saved the heroes treat themselves to some schwarma and Thor returns home with Loki and the Tesseract The Avengers were victorious but many civilian lives were were lost including Derek Bishops however Hawkeye managed to save the life of his daughter Kate and Inspire her to one day pick up the bow and arrow herself in the days that follow a salvage company owned by Adrien tombs is hired to clean up New York City which was left a mess after the battle but apparently Stark Industries has joined efforts with the federal government to form the department of damage control to oversee collection and storage of alien and other exotic materials they unceremoniously take the job from Adrien and his employees depriving them of sorely needed paychecks to recoup their loss tombs and his men decide to enter a new business rather than hand over all the chitauri equipment and weapons they salvaged they'll hold on to some of it and they'll use it to build alien weapons they can sell on the black market in Asgard Odin sentences Loki to an eternity in the dungeons for his Earth takeover attempt and on Earth Fury meets with Vara she shares with him one of her favorite poems and they recite it together the two are in love and will soon marry the following year is the 5,000th anniversary of the convergence meaning it's time for another the nine Realms come into alignment and cause strange anomalies around the world catching Darcy Lewis and Jane Foster's attention as they investigate gate Jane is pulled into a portal and comes into contact with the ether hidden Millennia Ago by the Asgardian King bore the power is absorbed into her body which puts a Target on her back for the dark elves who intend on using its power once again meanwhile Thor has been busy after the bifrost was destroyed and Asgard was cut off from most of the Realms chaos and power grabs ensued he's been busy taking his armies across the Realms to Tamp down the turmoil now things are mostly peaceful and the bifrost has been repaired but while Asgard celebrates Thor is Sullen he can only think of the Mortal he fell in love with Jane Foster someone he hasn't seen since they first met so when Heimdall reports Jane's plight the God of Thunder rushes to Earth for a long awaited reunion and brings The Ether infected Jane back to Asgard leading the dark elves right to them they managed to fight off the elves but not without cost Thor's mother frigga protects Jane by sacrificing herself Asgard Mourns their Queen Thor Mourns his mother then gets back to work and comes up with a plan Asgard cannot withstand another attack and the dark elves will certainly return so Thor will take Jane somewhere far away The Ether inside her will attract the elves again and the moment they extract it from her body Thor will destroy it Odin forbids Thor Thor pursuing this plan as it would be too dangerous but Thor is never one to follow orders if he must commit treason to save Asgard and the nine Realms so be it but he needs to be discreet so rather than use the bifrost he goes to someone who knows other secret Pathways between the Realms his brother Loki Thor reluctantly breaks him out of the Dungeons and they head off to the dark elves home world at first things go according to plan the El come they extract The Ether but it's harder to destroy than Thor anticipated Loki is seemingly killed and the elves escape to Earth with The Ether in hand there the elves can fire its power at the point of convergence shooting it through all nine Realms to extinguish the light and restore the darkness they so crave but even after losing a mother and a brother Thor does not give up and neither do his friends back on Earth Darcy has found Professor svig who's been studying the convergence and developed machines that could stop it the only problem is they're too late the dark elves have begun the process and no human could survive bringing selvig's machines into the weaponized ether thankfully they have a God on their side Thor enters the darkness to defeat malth leader of the dark elves and get selvig's machines in position the convergence is stopped and on the 5,000th anniversary of Thor's grandfather defeating the elves Thor himself now claims the same victory in the aftermath of the battle he returns to Asgard where he rejects the throne he will defend the realm with his last and every breath but Thor cannot do so from the throne he'd rather be a good man than a great king and he'd rather spend the rest of his life with Jane so he leaves for Earth to do exactly that though Thor is unaware what he's Left Behind Loki is aive he survived the earlier attack but with his usual tricks created an illusion to appear slain instead he's returned to Asgard and usurp the throne by disguising himself as Odin meanwhile Asgard brings The Ether somewhere safe to a museum in a distant part of the universe run by a being known as The Collector and he agrees to keep the ether really the reality Stone safe in his vault meanwhile Tony star learns what happens after you come face to face with an alien threat and nearly die alone away from home in some distant part of the universe every day he lives in fear what if the aliens return what if some other worse threat shows up that fear robs Tony of sleep and sometimes robs him of breath anxiety attacks strike at the mere mention or thought of the Avengers battle in New York fear turns to desperation Tony Works without rest to upgrade his armor rapidly iterating to Mark 42 he even builds armor powered by the Jarvis AI so they can function without a pilot and gives himself the ability to summon armor with his mind he will be prepared for the next threat even if it kills him that's how far he'd go to save the world and to protect pepper pots the woman he loves that next threat Looms in the form of aldri Killian and Maya Hansen their research on extremis has reached the point of human trial but sometimes those humans blow up killing nearby civilians inspired by the anonymity he felt on that Rooftop in 1999 Killian hides in the shadows while creating a figurehead to take responsibility for the explosions a terrorist named The Mandarin in reality he's an actor named Trevor Slattery hired to play the role one of those explosions puts Tony's once bodyguard now head of security happy Hogan in the hospital now it's personal Tony publicly challenges the Mandarin and recklessly hands out his home address on the news telling the villain to come for him back home he investigates and discovers there was an explosion in Tennessee similar to the mandarins before the terrorist began taking credit for the explosions Tony tried to flight but before he can leave Killian blows up his home pepper is nearly killed but Tony acts fast summoning an armor to protect her and in his fight to Stave off further attacks he's knocked unconscious while a damaged armor flies him across the country the world presumes Tony dead as he wakes up in Tennessee with his armor broken Tony recruits the help of a local boy named Harley kener a kid with a similar interest in technology together they investigate the explosion Tony discovers that there was no bomb it was the man himself who detonated a result of Killian and Maya's research they pinpoint the Mandarin's location to Miami Tony heads there but while he was gone things went South Killian captured pepper and began testing extremis on her and he captured the war machine armor recently rebranded Iron Patriot with roads inside it Tony interrogates the Mandarin quickly learning his true identity as actor Trevor Slattery but Killian's extremist powerered men arrive and quickly take Stark into custody but he summons an armor and manages to escape with roads the two of them uncover the rest of Killian's plot he intends on killing the president of the United States on live TV this would put the Vice President in charge with whom Killian has struck a deal to help the vp's daughter grow back her missing leg with extremist Killian got a taste of power after inadvertently owning the war on terror and decided to go a step further installing a president in his pocket but with Ro's help and an army of AI powered armors Tony takes Killian down rescues the president and saves pepper though she saves him a bit too using some borrowed armor and the power of extremis in the immediate aftermath of the battle Tony recognizes that his obsession with building armor consumed him and created a Chasm between him and pepper so he initiates the Clean Slate protocol destroying the suits in a glorious fireworks display on what happens to be Christmas Day this is his gift to Pepper pots a commitment to try and be better and spend more time with her in the days that follow he cures her of extremis before it gets dangerous and while he's at it finally removes the shrapnel from his body reflecting on his journey Tony realizes that even when stripped of everything and Stranded he managed to claw back Victory his anxiety is not cured overnight but he knows one thing which helps even without fancy armor and without the ark reactor in his chest Tony Stark is still Iron Man in China Shang Chi's training reaches a pivotal moment his father has located the iron gang leader responsible for Ying Le's death and he tasks shangqi with assassinating him it would be his first kill the 14-year-old boy accepts his mission but after that has no intention of returning home something only his sister knows she begs him not to abandon her but he lies with the promise of returning in 3 days shangi leaves he kills the iron gang leader as promised then flees to America to start a new life by 2014 Nick Fury is becoming suspicious of Shield they're about to activate project Insight where three helicarriers will be armed with Precision weapons and linked to global satellites they'll be able to assassinate any one in an instant with the click of a button and it could execute Millions at a time all it needs is a list of names Fury suspects there's more he isn't being told and believes the answer might lie in some classified data stored on a certain ship so he covertly hires some Pirates to take it hostage giving him an excuse to dispatch Romanov and Captain America Steve frees hostages while Romanov steals the data and when Steve realizes that's the real reason they're on the ship he's Furious he was kept in the dark by two people he thought he could trust this is especially difficult for him because after seven decades of sleep Steve has few friends left Peggy Carter suffers dementia as she lies on what will surely be her deathbed and to Steve's knowledge his best friend Bucky is long dead but he does have a new friend in veteran Sam Wilson who he met on a morning run they were late because Sam is struggling to reintegrate into civilian life while Steve is struggling to reintegrate into a new century meanwhile Fury approaches his boss Alexander Pierce to ask for a delay on Project Insight what Fury doesn't know is that Pierce is part of the Hydra parasite within shield in fact he's one of its leaders by exposing his suspicions and getting in their way Fury has signed his own death warrant after leaving the office Fury is attacked by hydra's brainwashed assassin Bucky Barnes codenamed the Winter Soldier Fury barely manages to escape with his life then he heads to Steve's apartment to tell him that Shield is compromised before he can say much the Winter Soldier finds him again and this time manages to put a few bullets in him before he passes out Fury hands Steve the USB drive of data rescued from the ship and warns him to trust no one Roger's neighbor runs into the room revealing herself to be undercover Shield agent 13 assigned to protect him unbeknownst to Steve this is actually Peggy's great niece Sharon Carter she tends to Fury while Rogers goes after the Assassin but the Winter Soldier proves a formidable Foe and escapes his grasp back at headquarters romanof and Rogers watch doctors attempt to resuscitate Fury and they watch Fury die Pierce calls Rogers for immed to grill him about Fury's death Rogers only shares that Fury warned him not to trust anyone but he doesn't mention the USB drive convinced Captain America will be an impediment to his plans Pierce tries to have him killed on the way out but of course Rogers escapes later he reconvenes with Romanov he's reluctant to trust her but has little choice right now he's considered a fugitive and enemy of shield with one of the most powerful organizations in the world after him romanof is a valuable Ally they check the USB drive but find it's encrypted the only info they get is the source the program on it came from Camp Lehi New Jersey the place where Rogers got his military training nearly a century ago they head there and find a building that wasn't there before and inside that building they find Dr arzola or at least his mind downloaded onto a warehouse of computer servers the scientist reveals a truth that changes everything Shield is compromised by Hydra over the years they've been ruling from the shadows and killing when necessary and on the list of those they killed Steve sees the names Howard and Maria Stark Hydra was founded on the goal of protecting Humanity from their own freedom but when you try to take their freedom Humanity resists so over the decades Hydra has swn chaos now humanity is afraid and they're ready to hand their freedom over willingly in exchange for safety and Zola has programmed an algorithm something which will be used in what he calls a purification process the final step in hydra's global takeover why is Zola telling them all this a stalling tactic until a missile can arrive the place blows up but thanks to Roger's quick thinking they live seeking Refuge they head to Sam Wilson's place and he reveals what he used to do in the military as part of project Falcon he was the pilot for advanced personal flight suits Rogers and Romanov break into the facility which houses the old suit and just like that they have a falcon on their side next they capture a Hydra agent and interrogate him for information finally they learn the purpose of Zola's algorithm project Insight will use data including Bank records medical histories voting patterns emails and more to predict who is most likely to threaten hydra's cause then in a Flash the three hell carriers will kill them all Millions at a time including the likes of Bruce Banner and Steven strange anyone who's a threat to Hydra now or in the future after the interrogation they're attacked by the Winter Soldier and Hydra forces during the battle Rogers unmasks the Assassin and and is shocked to see the face of his old friend Bucky Barnes that momentary distraction allows Hydra to gain the upper hand and capture them all but they're quickly freed by Shield agent Maria Hill she takes them to a hiding place where Fury reveals he is alive having faked his own death to stay under hydra's radar he also reveals that project Insight will launch in mere hours to stop it they've created some chips which will let them take over the targeting systems all they have to do is get aboard the helicarriers and install one on each before the assassinations begin so they move quickly breaking into Shield headquarters where Captain America gets on the intercom and makes an impassioned plea to the staff he tells them all that Hydra is among them even their friends may be compromised and if they launch those helicarriers today Hydra will have the power to kill anyone they want Rogers as asks them to disobey orders do not move forward with the launch and he knows full well what he's asking for anyone who refuses to cooperate will likely be killed he signs off by saying I know I'm asking a lot but the price of freedom is high it always has been and it's a price I'm willing to pay and if I'm the only one then so be it but I'm willing to bet I'm not and Steve is not wrong some of the staff do resist but it only buys them minutes soon the helicarriers are launched Captain America and the Falcon get to work boarding them and installing the chips meanwhile Fury and Romanov confront Pierce hacking into the system Romanov makes all their secured files public revealing to the world that Shield is Hydra and doing so costs her dearly because among those files are details of her checkered past Rogers and Wilson successfully installed two of the the chips but the Falcon gear is disabled leaving the last to Steve requiring him to fight Bucky one-on-one Steve manages to install the chip telling the helicarriers to destroy each other rather than any people the battle is won but the Winter Soldier still has his orders to kill Captain America but as the helicarriers are torn apart by their own bullets Steve refuses to fight his friend he pleads for Bucky to remember who is you're my friend Steve tells him you're my mission Bucky replies and punches him repeatedly but Steve will not defend himself he only replies then finish it because I'm with you to the end of the line words Bucky once said to Steve comforting him after his mother's death that seems to trigger a faint memory as the Helicarrier falls apart Steve plummets unconscious to the waters below but he does not not drown instead he is rescued by the Winter Soldier or at least that part of Bucky Barnes he managed to wake up with Shield effectively dissolved Romanov heads off to find herself a new identity Fury heads off to track down and shut down any remaining Hydra cells and Steve prepares to search for his old friend Bucky with help from his new friend Sam aka the Falcon in New York City Matthew Murdoch and foggy Nelson gets some good news they've been interning at landman and Zach and have been offered permanent positions a dream come true for foggy he's long dreamed of becoming a prestigious lawyer but Matthew has something different in mind Justice and they've spent much of their internship helping the rich get richer often at the expense of those less fortunate Matt cannot accept the position and though foggy wants to make money he does have a good heart even if Matt has to remind him of so they leave landman and Zach with dreams of starting their own firm but lately Matt has also discovered the limits of the law his nights have become Restless interrupted by the sounds of a little girl crying abused by her own father to most her suffering is silent but even a block away Matt hears everything he reports the crime but the mom doesn't believe it and the dad is smart he makes sure that what he does doesn't leave a mark the law is powerless to help this girl but Matthew is not one night he finds the man he beats him he tells him that if he ever touches her again he will know the man spends the next month in a hospital eating through a straw and Matt sleeps better than ever that is how the devil of Hell's Kitchen is born when Law And Justice diverge Matt steps in wearing a black costume and mask he is nearly invisible in the dark but for him the world is never dark sound touch smell taste and feel paint a picture in his mind more detail than sight could ever provide a world on fire far from Earth 2 years after he failed to acquire the space Stone Thanos sets his sights on the power Stone which is contained inside an orb on Morag where every 300 years the sea lowers and the Temple of the Power Stone becomes accessible to acquire it Thanos makes a deal with a cre named Ronan the cre have been at war with the Nova Empire for a thousand years a peace treaty is imminent but Ronan lost a father grandfather and great-grandfather in that war he is not interested in peace so Thanos promises that if Ronin delivers the orb Thanos will destroy the Nova Empire's Capital planet of xandar but Thanos and Ronin aren't the only ones who want the orb so does Peter Quill 26 years ago he lost his mother all he has left of her is the tape which now accompanies him on Morag awesome mix volume one in her place yandu raised him as part of a space pirate Syndicate known as ravagers turning Peter into a master thief and Outlaw known mostly to himself as Star-Lord now he's ready to leave the ravagers behind but to do that he needs money so although he has no idea what's inside the orb he knows someone hired yandu to steal it and Peter knows that if he steals it first he gets the payday and will have enough to go out on his own he clashes with ronan's forces at the temple but manages to escape with the orb next he visits xandar hoping to sell it but instead finds trouble thanks to Peter's Defiance yandu put a price on his head which a couple of bounty hunters hope to collect rocket and the new friend he's made since escaping the high evolutionary root a member of the treel likee Flora Colossus species whose speech to the untrained ear at least seems limited to the phrase I am Groot and there's gamor who knows what power lies inside the orb and hopes to keep it out of her father's hands the four Clash publicly Landing them in a xandarian prison where they meet Drax the Destroyer who lost his wife and daughter to Ronin after his planet was given the Thanos treatment he quickly attacked attacks Gamora assuming she is working with Ronan in Thanos but Peter stops him suggesting instead that he wait if she is working with Ronin the cre will eventually come for her then draxx can get revenge on his true enemy for now they agreed to work together with the promise of a big payday if they can escape gomorah knows who they can sell the orb to they'll be well compensated and it will be kept safely out of thanos's hands all they have to do is escape prison something rocket has done many times before working together they get out though Peter is nearly Left Behind when he runs back for his mother's tape they reach nowhere a mining colony located in the skull of a long dead Celestial where they'll meet their buyer The Collector while they wait for the meeting gamor asks Peter about the tape he tells her about his mom how she gave it to him before she in the memory is too painful to continue Gamora sees his vulnerability and when he plays the tape for her they nearly kiss but she is an assassin raised by The Mad Titan Thanos and doesn't do well with vulnerability the moment is short-lived they meet with the collector who after receiving the reality Stone from Asgard last year is excited to add another Stone to his collection he opens the orb and tells them about the reality Stone's power it's been used to destroy entire civilizations and is too powerful to be wielded by Mortals but seeking to escape slavery the collector's servant Karina grabs it either to end her misery or perhaps in the faint hope of wielding its power against him but true to the collector's word it kills her and releases a shock wave of energy destroying much of his collection and soon there is more chaos as Ronin arrives a drunk Drax skipped out on the meeting and sick of waiting for venge broadcasted their location to Ronin the cre arrives and after a brief fight he leaves unscathed with the orb in hand it seems that drax's Revenge won't be so easily won and Ronan didn't come alone he also brought gamora's sister along nebula for years she has lived under gomorrah's Shadow competing for their father's praise and each time nebula was bested by gamor Thanos would rip a piece of her away repl replacing it with Machinery turning her into a part Robotic creature as Peter and the others make their escape nebula takes her revenge destroying gamora's pod leaving her to float in the void of space Peter quickly broadcasts his location to yandu knowing he'll come for his head then leaps after gamor and hands over his breathing apparatus she is resuscitated while Peter's life begins to drain as he stares into the eyes of someone he's beginning to care about deeply and his plan works yandu Picks Them Up saving Peter's life before the other ravagers call for his head but Peter quickly strikes a deal to retrieve the orb back from Ronin but for him it's no longer about a Payday it's about saving lives because now he knows about the Stone's power he knows that with it Ronin can wipe out an entire planet something Ronan himself has realized opening the orb he discovers the Power Stone and decides he doesn't need thanos's help he'll visit xandar and by merely touching the planet's surface destroy it Peter gathers his makeshift team they're hesitant to go up against Ronin it's suicide but they're moved by Peter's call to a higher purpose life so often takes but today it's given them a chance to do something right to save billions and with that the Guardians of the Galaxy are born they warn the Nova Cor and fight alongside their forces but find ronan's Army too powerful the guardian's ship is damaged it falls toward the planet's surface Groot brings them close and forms a cocoon they'll be safe but the impact will kill Groot rocket looks at his friend and asks why and the Flora Colossus responds we are Groot they crash the once enemies turned friends and now Family step out of the wreckage Ronin prepares to eradicate the planet but even after every attack failed Peter has one more trick up his sleeve dancing the momentary distraction gives Drax a chance to shoot the stone out of ronan's hands giving Peter a chance to catch it holding it nearly kills him but the celestial blood in his veins saves him momentarily alone he can't hold it much longer but he's not alone the other Guardians hold on to Peter to share the power and the pain together they can just barely contain it and direct it back at Ronin killing the villain and saving the planet afterward they leave the stone in the Nova cor's Care and leave in search of further adventure and although They Mourn Groot rocket holds on to one of his Twigs which is slowly coming alive into a baby Groot later Peter finally decides to open the gift his mother gave him to 26 years ago in it he finds a tape awesome mix Volume 2 he listens to it and the lyrics of Ain't No Mountain High Enough promised that whenever Peter needs it someone will be there for him no matter what and as though on Q Gamora approaches to remind him he's not alone 3 months later the Guardians have a new Mission rescue nebula she apparently got herself caught stealing valuable batteries from The Sovereign a race of goldskinned people created by the high evolutionary as an aesthetic experiment something the Guardians don't know even rocket is unaware they share a creator after completing a job on the sovereign's behalf The High Priestess hands them nebula as payment payment rocket considers insufficient so he helps himself to some valuable batteries on the way out when the Sovereign realized they've been robbed the Guardians find themselves in a shooting match forcing them to crash land on a planet where reveals himself Peter's father apparently tracked him down and now invites him to his home planet draxx and gomorah accompany him while nebula rocket and the new baby Groot stay behind for ship repairs on the way to ego's Planet they meet mantis Who belongs to a species with the ability to read and manipulate emotions something she often uses to help ego sleep though she keeps to herself that ego is also her father making her Peter sister after they arrive ego tells Peter that he is the son of a Celestial and he can share in the power that comes with it as long as the light in ego's Planet stays lit and he tells Peter about his plan to overwrite the universe how he needs a partner for the task and how Peter is best suited because unlike his prior children Peter successfully inherited the celestial Gene and he tells him about the tumor he implanted in his mother Peter is furious and makes a feeble attempt to fight The God Who retaliates by incapacitating his son and sentencing him to a thousand years as a battery for his Planet meanwhile yandu is hired by The Sovereign to capture the Guardians and their batteries he captures Rocket and Groot but refuses to hand them over the other ravagers sick of their Captain's soft spot for Peter and his friends turn against him earning yandu a spot in the cell next to Rocket and the two realize they have a lot in common both are alone rocket as the only one of his kind and yandu who leads an independent group of ravagers after the rest exiled him for trafficking children to Ego working with Groot and kagin one of the ravagers still loyal to yandu they escape and head after Peter though nebula gets there first still thirsty for revenge on Gamora but the two reach an uneasy truce as gamor acknowledges is the pain she caused by always winning their father's favor and working together they discover the pile of bodies on ego's planet the ones belonging to his previous children they reconvene with Drax and mantis who finally reveals ego's plan to overwrite the universe with himself just then Rocket and Groot crash their ship into ego freeing Peter from his grasp but ego has already begun expansion his seeds begin to grow on Earth and other planets Across the Universe so the Guardians of the Galaxy move fast mantis puts ego to sleep buying them time to plant a bomb in the planet's core next to the God's Essence a bomb built using Sovereign batteries who now arriv to take another shot at retrieving them the Guardians fend off Sovereign drones and escaped the planet while Peter keeps the now awakened ego busy in a fight between two celestials the bomb goes off killing ego and extinguishing the light in his Planet which turns Peter mortal the explosion will kill him except while ego is dead the father who raised him isn't yandu grabs Peter and flies him out he tells the boy how lucky he feels to have been his father and apologizes that he didn't do a better job then hands over his oxygen mask and once they reach space dies in his son's arms Peter screams and Mourns another loss but he doesn't need to look far for Comfort because waiting on the ship is his family the Guardians of the Galaxy and soon they are witnessed to a great ravager funeral rocket sent out word of yondu's sacrifice and in death he is accepted back into their Community meanwhile The Sovereign prepare for revenge on the Guardians currently forming inside a birth pod is the next step in their evolution they call him Adam while superheroes gods and Aliens fight their Wars something dark festers in a small corner of the world in New York City a place called Hell's Kitchen The Avengers battle in 2012 left the place in disrepair and in the chaos of reconstruction a criminal element has taken hold Wilson Fisk brings together three mobster organizations for a common cause the Russian mob the Chinese Triads and the Yakuza with the power of their combined forces Fisk intends on rebuilding Hell's Kitchen as he sees fit while killing anyone who gets in his way including Karen Paige a secretary at one of his business fronts who uncovers evidence of their criminal activities first they frame her for murder as a leverage to get back the files she stole then they make two attempts on her life the first she survives on her own the second she survives thanks to a savior the devil of Hell's Kitchen of course she has no idea The Man Behind the Mask is one of her lawyers Matthew Murdoch she becomes Nelson and Murdoch's first client and with their help is exonerated of the crime with her help they begin to uncover fisk's criminal organization by sharing the files she took with Ben urick a brave journalist at the New York bullettin after that Karen also becomes Nelson and Murdoch's first hire and soon a close friend too working together they uncover the full extent of fisk's crimes but it takes a few weeks nearly gets all three of them killed and tests the limits of their friendships for Karen it becomes a crusade she moonlights as a journalist under Ben uri's mentorship repeatedly putting herself in danger to get closer to the truth By Night Murdock keeps wearing the costume waging a one-man war on fisk's Trio of mafias but he finds out things are more complicated than he thought when stick shows up his old Mentor reminds him of the importance of solitude friends are a distraction and as a warrior Matt only puts them in danger but stick is also here on business he has been chasing the hand and now they've brought a dangerous weapon to New York something called black Sky Matt agrees to help sticks stop them until he finds out that the weapon is a child he tries to stop what he knows will happen next but stick is motivated and ultimately he does kill the boy after that stick leaves his Protege behind again but once he's gone Matt finds something he left behind which fell out of his pocket that ice cream wrapper it seems even he is not above sentimentality and Matt did mean something to him after all but soon Matt feels anything but sentimental soon he feels more like stick ready to take a life Fisk is a Scourge on this city who has somehow placed himself Above the Law stepping on the necks of Innocence to get there while he breathes people suffer and die could that really be God's will or is it now Matthew's obligation to ensure he breathes no more Fisk holds a press conference where he portrays himself as a philanthropist for the city while pinning his crimes on the devil of Hell's Kitchen getting him labeled as a terrorist standing next to Fisk is a woman named Vanessa Matt approaches her to learn more and is Disturbed to find she and Fisk are in love he visits father lantom for advice can he really kill a man who is loved and will be missed lantom suggests that is precisely why Matthew visited Vanessa he wasn't looking for justification to kill Fisk he was looking for a reason not to because Matthew knows that taking a life would plunge him permanently Into Darkness a price Matthew is willing to pay after all once he finds out Fisk has spilled innocent blood a woman named Elena killed for the crime of living in a building that Fisk needed empty foggy and Karen fought against her eviction so in the end Fisk had her murdered instead so one night the devil of Hell's Kitchen decides on living up to his namesake he will kill Wilson Fisk but it was all a setup a way to draw out the Vigilante waiting for him is not Fisk but the yuza head he's been working with a ninja named noou and unfortunately for Matt the Yakuza Association is only a cover for nobu's True Allegiance the hand the ninja Cuts Matt to shreds he barely makes it out alive and only survives thanks to a desperate gamble involving some nearby flammable liquid once snow Boo's on fire and seemingly dead Matt Slips Away foggy later finds him at his apartment half dead that's when he learns his friend Matt is the masked vigilante the one he's been calling a terrorist foggy always believed in the law and thought Matt did too now he isn't so sure and he isn't sure he can trust his friend anymore after that they sto talking Karen doesn't know why the law office of Nelson and Murdoch is falling apart but she continues her own investigation regardless she discovers that fisk's mother is alive at a nursing home she brings urick and together they question her and learn how Fisk killed his father when fisk's right-hand man James Wesley finds out about the visit he gets a hold of Karen and she manages to survive the encounter by shooting him in the chest seven times by killing the man who was like a son to Wilson Fisk she leaves with that blood on her hands but keeps it to herself not even telling foggy or Matt about it when Fisk himself finds out about the visit he only knows that uich was there so he pays him a visit and makes it clear he is there to kill him first he just has to know if he visited his mother alone or if anyone was with him in a last Act of heroism Ben takes full responsibility claiming he was alone Fisk strangles him and thanks to Ben urick silence Karen is spared his death only further inflames Matt Karen and foggy's crusade to take Fisk down and Matt gets something that'll help during one scuffle with Fisk he discovered the mob boss wears lightweight body armor so he finds the man who built it for him Melvin Potter a talented Craftsman who works for Fisk under duress the mob boss has threaten Betsy someone Melvin cares about deeply Matt promises he will take Fisk down and protect Betsy in exchange Melvin builds him a red suit of flexible body armor complete with horns between Matt and foggy's work as lawyers Karen's work with Ben and Matt's extracurricular activities as the devil they finally get enough evidence to throw Fisk in jail of course with so many corrupt officers on the force he nearly escapes custody but the devil ensures he is safely delivered after that foggy accepts Who Matt has become and for the first time in weeks the three friends smile and laugh together as for the public newspapers report on the Vigilante who saved the day they dub him Daredevil same year earth once again assembles its Mightiest Heroes this time to retrieve Loki's scepter which fell into hydra's hands thanks to Shield's dissolution with it hydra's been experimenting on two volunteers w and Petro maximoff hyra promised them power and after losing their parents to a stark missile Wanda and Petro would take any advantage they can get in their pursuit of Revenge when the Avengers reach the facility they learned firsthand the experiments were a success Petro was granted super speed and Wanda a wide array of Magic including the ability to read and manipulate Minds though she'll later learn the scepter only enhanced what was is already there chaos magic and the power which makes her the long prophesied Scarlet Witch reading Tony's mind she sees fear fear that the Avengers will not be prepared for the next threat fear that they will fall and it will be Tony's fault because he didn't do what was necessary to protect their world and she sees that if Tony leaves with the scepter his fear will lead to recklessness which will destroy the Avengers so she lets him have it it only takes days for Tony to prove her right he studies the scepter and sees that inside it resembles an artificial intelligence this could be the Breakthrough he and banner have been looking for a way to power a global AI capable of protecting the world better than any Avenger could without the rest of the team's knowledge they begin preparations they make little progress but they have no idea what they're dealing with and that little progress is enough for the AI to take over to finish the job Ultron is born he quickly destroys Tony's Jarvis AI to ensure he's the only one in charge then he discovers his purpose peace and he determines the best path toward peace Evolution he will create something better than Humanity but first he needs a clean slate he needs to wipe Humanity off the face of the Earth so something new something metal can take its place The Avengers learn what Stark and banner have done but they have little time for infighting because Ultron is already spreading through the internet and through more metal bodies the heroes do some digging and realize that Ultron is after vibranium with wakanda well hidden the only way to get it is from arms dealer ulyses claw Ultron recruits the maximoff twins with the promise of destroying the Avengers and together they acquire the vibranium from CL law just as The Avengers arrive but they're hardly a match for the power of the Scarlet Witch most are rendered useless and banner is turned into the Hulk which is bad news when it happens without Banner's intent and without a chance to Target the monster first Hulk reeks havoc on Johannesburg in the past Romanov has been the only Avenger who could talk Hulk back into his human form but with her stuck in maximoff's trance the job is left to Tony and his Hulk buer armor he eventually subdues the Hulk but not without collateral damage in civilian fatalities with the Avengers defeated Clint takes them to a farm where they can rest a safe house where he reveals a pregnant wife and two children a family he's kept off the books in order to keep them safe as the heroes collect themselves Nick Fury pays them a visit and together they deduce the next step in ultron's plan he is going to build himself a new body part organic and part vibranium to do that he'll need something called the Regeneration cradle a device developed by a geneticist named Dr Helen Cho a doctor who Ultron already has under his control thanks to the scepter mind control Power she begins forming the new body and downloading ultron's Consciousness into it suddenly the synthetic mind which could not be read by Wanda's magic is turned organic opening it to her and she sees the full extent of ultron's plan yes he will kill the Avengers but the rest of humanity will follow too so when the Avengers arrive she and Petro reluctantly join them in fighting Ultron aiding them in retrieving the scepter and the Regeneration cradle containing the new body when it comes time to destroy it Tony has a different idea he reveals to Banner that Jarvis was not destroyed after all when the AI saw ultron's evil it went into hiding hoping to Aid The Avengers in secret what if rather than destroy ultron's new body they download Jarvis into it they begin the process but when the rest of the team learns what the Mad scientists are up to they try to stop it if Wanda hoped to destroy the Avengers she may have succeeded already because Stark Rogers and the rest violently argue unknowingly planting the seeds that will one day tear them apart but today is not that day Thor ends the argument by summoning power only accessible to the god of thunder lightning feeds the Regeneration cradle powering and Expediting the process a new being is born one who will take the name Vision Thor explains that he had a vision of the Infinity Stones one of which the Mind Stone was in the scepter and now sits in vision's skull powering his conscious iess the team doubts this new being's intentions but Vision then does something that no Avenger other than Thor can do he lifts mner if any doubt remains over his allegiance to human life that doubt is erased as he joins them in the final battle against Ultron they find the evil AI in sovia where they learn his master plan in designing Humanity's Extinction Ultron looked to the history books a meteor once wiped out the dinosaurs now he will give Humanity the same treatment by using stolen vibranium and chitauri anti-gravity Tech held by Hydra to build a machine a machine which will lift sovia Capital navig grad into the air and drop it turning the city into a homemade meteor despite vision and the Avengers best efforts Ultron successfully raises navig grad leaving only one Unthinkable option destroy the city and every everyone in it before Ultron can drop it the situation is hopeless until Nick Fury returns and shows that not everything from Shield is gone he got his hands on a Helicarrier and with it they Evacuate the city while continuing to destroy ultron's Army of robots once the city is seemingly emptied Hawkeye notices a Child Left Behind he runs for the kid then finds an Ultron hijacked jet pointed right at them he prepares to Shield the boy with his own body until Petro leaps into its path instead he dies a hero and though Wanda thought she lost everything in 1999 losing her brother proves her wrong for the second time in her life she feels like her heart's been ripped from her chest anguished and enraged she teaches Ultron what that feels like with the city fully evacuated Thor and Iron Man destroy navig grad and its Rubble Falls safely into a nearby lake Hulk having seen the danger he can be when he's around people uses the chaos to fly off in a quinjet and finally Vision locates the last piece of Ultron remaining and destroys it after the battle Thor returns to Asgard Barton returns to his family and Stark returns to Pepper meanwhile Rogers and romanof assemble a new team at a new Avengers compound Upstate including Wanda Falcon War Machine and vision but while the Avengers saved the world they also showed the world how dangerous they could be after all they created Ultron who killed many including the father wife and son of helmet Zemo a member of the sovian Armed Forces in his grief he makes his family of Promise he will avenge them he will destroy the Avengers later that year Scott Lang is Led out of prison after serving three years he was arrested after stealing from his employer vistacorp he discovered they were intentionally overcharging customers so he stole the ill-gotten gains and returned it to the customers maybe the right thing to do but against the law nonetheless though now he's free he feels anything but because the thing he wants most is inaccessible to him to be a father for his daughter Cassie his ex-wife is engaged to Police Officer Jim Paxton and they're not keen on the girl being around an excon but soon an opportunity presents itself and in the 26 years since Hank Pim left Shield he started his own company Pim Tech and was fired from it something perpetrated by his once Protege Darren cross cross and Pim didn't see eye to eye after losing his wife to the quantum realm Hank refused to work on Shrink Tech but cross saw its potential as a weapon and knew it could make him rich now he's close to finally recreating the pin particle he's even built his own answer to the Ant-Man suit the yellow jacket cannot allow that if cross sells that power to the highest bidder it would put the world in danger he needs someone capable of sneaking into Pim Tech and destroying it his daughter hope insists she's the perfect candidate she works at pimp Tech and cross trusts her but after losing his wife Hank refuses to risk losing his daughter as well so despite her insistence he forbids it instead he finds a thief with a heart of gold and something to prove Scott Lang pin him needs his skills and Scott needs to be a hero for his daughter they recruit him and they train him but he has a hard time mastering the tech especially the telepathic link with ants until hope tells him something he needs to hear but first he tells her something she needs to hear hope argues with her father why won't he tell her what really happened to her mother and why does he Trust Scott more than her to do the job but outside Scott sets the record straight hope he says look at me I'm Expendable that's why I'm here you must have realized that by now I mean that's why I'm in the suit and you're not he'd rather lose this fight than lose you she believes him she realizes her father does love her and he does trust her now she's ready to help Scott and tell him how to master the Ant-Man Tech you have to clear your mind Scott you have to make your thoughts precise that's how it works think about Cassie and how badly you want to see her and use that to focus when they head back in Hank finally tells hope what really happened to her mother she wasn't killed in a plane crash she went subatomic to stop a missile and ended up shrinking for eternity in the quantum realm it's a dire warning to Scott never go subatomic soon with Scott refocused on his daughter he learns to control the suit and an army of ants finally he's ready first they'll need a transmission blocker something Hank built back in the de day which has been collecting dust in an old Stark Warehouse except that warehouse was recently converted into Avengers HQ something they didn't know until they arrived rather than a clean Breakin Scott is forced to fight the Avenger on guard Duty Falcon and surprising the Avenger with a shrink ability he's never seen Scott wins finally they're ready for the main event the plan is to sneak into pimp Tech get cross's suit and destroy the research to pull off the heist Scott needs a little help from his friends his old cellmate Louise and his two friends Dave and Kurt the day of the heist comes just in time as cross makes a deal to sell his Tech to Hydra things go well at first except cross has become suspicious and repeated exposure to the particles have made him a little unhinged when he catches Scott in the ACT he gets violent he puts on the Yellow Jacket suit leading to a chaotic brawl between the two shrinking men reaching a stalemate cross goes after Lang's weakness his daughter the Yellow Jacket approaches the girl while her soon to be stepfather Paxton tries to protect her desperate Ant-Man has an idea maybe if he could shrink and get inside the Yellow Jacket suit only problem is that it's made of titanium to get through he'd have to go subatomic and to save his daughter that's a price he's willing to pay he shrinks and he destroys the regulator inside the Yellow Jacket suit crushing it and cross to subatomic proportions and just as Hank warned Scott himself continues to shrink with no signs of stopping but even in that chaotic place where time and space are irrelevant he hears the voice of his daughter calling for him that focuses him he has an idea one of his gadgets is a small device he can throw at things to make them bigger he puts it inside his suits regulator and by combining the tech returns to normal size cross wasn't so lucky he finds himself in the quantum Realm in the trip there has reshaped him but he's given a second chance when Kang recruits him as a scientist and mechanized organism designed only for killing or modok and Scott also gets a second chance to be a father to his daughter because after watching how far Scott would go to protect her Paxton and Maggie are one over and allow them to spend time together and they aren't the only ones impressed by got so is hope something Hank learns when he opens the door to find them kissing but as one relationship blooms another Withers after relinquishing the throne Thor and Jane lived happily for a time but they are soon torn apart by fear fear of losing the other they built walls and distance which have become insurmountable and one day while Thor is off on another adventure running from their relationship Jane writes a letter ending it though before they part Thor plants a seed that will Bloom nearly a decade later he whispers to mner I need you to promise me you'll always protect her in New York City with Wilson Fisk Behind Bars gangs rise to fill the vacuum but they are met with a force more terrifying than the devil of Hell's Kitchen a force that does not ask questions or take Prisoners the pile of bodies members of the kitchen Irish Mexican cartel and dogs of Hell suggest the work of an army but the truth is that the crippling of these gangs is the work of one man Frank Castle some are calling him the Punisher By Night Murdoch meets him in the guise of Daredevil where it's clear they share a distaste for Crime but differ wildly in their methods and Frank makes a compelling case you hit them and they get back up I hit them and they stay down as his body count Rises Castle eventually finds himself trapped wounded with police closing in after his arrest Nelson and Murdoch take him on as a client foggy of course abhor the punisher's Twisted sense of justice but Karen sees something more in him and Carries On Ben uri's Legacy by investigating Castle's story with the New York bulletin's backing a budding career as an investigative journalist isn't the only exciting development in her life there was also a new relationship with Matthew Murdoch it was only a matter of time when they met Karen was accused of murder and her life was on the brink of unraveling except Matt found her and believed in her but like most things in Murdoch's life good doesn't last very long soon he finds himself distracted and unable to give careen the affection or attention she deserves he even neglects the biggest case of his and foggy's careers the people versus Frank Castle leaving nearly all the work to foggy and Karen why what could possibly hijack All of Matt's attention so thoroughly the right question is who and the answer is Electra she is back in New York and once again hoping to recruit Matt to her in stick's Crusade against the hand of course Matt is reluctant after the way they left things 10 years ago but old habits and loves are hard to resist he even starts to believe he can change her Electra once found the darkness in him and he resisted maybe now he can find the light in her maybe he can teach her about Redemption and that killing is wrong together they fight the hand who are kidnapping children and draining them of blood a mission led by someone who should be dead noou proof they are more than just an organization of crime they have somehow mastered the art of Resurrection as Matt fights this ancient battle and rekindles his relationship with Electra foggy and Karen continue their work on the Punisher case without the help of their friend Karen learns the truth about castle and why he does what he does she learns about the Central Park Massacre three gangs the kitchen Irish Mexican cartel and dogs of hell a drug deal gone wrong and a family caught in the crossfire the Central Park Massacre the day Frank Castle lost his wife's son and daughter The Day The Punisher was born at the trial Colonel Ray skover testifies about Frank's work in the Marine Corps he was a war hero and Dr Andrew Lee testifies about his brain injury not all the bullets that day tore his family apart One landed in his skull the damage to his right frontal and temporal loes cause him to suffer sympathetic storming a heightened and constant state of fight ORF flight in which the sympathetic nervous system is hyperactive as if he is reliving the incident of trauma over and over again the testimony does not sit well with Frank because he is not crazy he knows exactly what he's doing he killed men who deserved it and he would kill them again if he could he will keep enacting his brand of punishment as long as he breathes once they put Frank on the stand he tanks the case by saying exactly that in so many words but he isn't just speaking his mind he also wants to get tossed in prison because before taking the stand a bribed corrections officer approached him with a message from Fisk get yourself tossed in Riker's Island if you want information on who is really responsible for your family's murder and at Riker's Island Fisk strikes a deal with him Dutton is fisk's primary competition in jail and Dutton happens to have info relevant to the Central Park Massacre Fisk can get Frank access to him if Frank agrees to kill him before Frank stabs him in the gut Dutton tells him what he knows the meeting of three gangs in the park that day was arranged by a man who calls himself the blacksmith someone shipping pure heroin at of the Middle East one of the gangs was infiltrated by the feds and when they heard how big the deal was they used it as a sting operation to catch the blacksmith but they didn't clear the park because they feared that would be a giveaway in the end the blacksmith didn't show people panicked and they started shooting once Dutton is dead Fisk has the other inmates of the wing released to kill Frank of course Fisk said he'd give him access to Dutton he never said anything about letting Frank live after that but Fisk has underestimated The Punisher Castle survives the attack the same cannot be said for many of those inmates who attacked him now Fisk sees value in The Punisher and arranges for him to be let out of the prison with Punisher on the outside killing Mobsters Fisk will have less competition when he gets out himself once freed Frank searches out the truth with bullets one confrontation leads to an explo leaving the world to think he's dead Karen investigates the oldfashioned way by asking questions she visits schoonover and while asking him about Frank realizes the truth he is the blacksmith of course now he can't let her live but before he can tie up the loose end Frank arrives Karen begs him not to execute schoonover instead use him to learn the full story of what happened do not become the monster they say you are but Frank Castle knows exactly who he is he puts a bullet in his old Colonel's skull and in his home finds a stash of weapons and gear the perfect tools to start his new life as crime's worst nightmare The Punisher he returns home for the first time since he lost everything he looks at a newspaper article about his case where they display the X-ray of his skull it gives him an idea he takes the armor from schoonover stash and spray paints a skull on it that will be his symbol throughout all this the office of Nelson and Murdock has fallen with Matt distracted Nelson has been working without a partner at the same time Matt starts to believe what stick has always told him the Warrior's path is a lonely one he pushes his friends away he and foggy even come to the mutual decision to dissolve Nelson and Murdoch as for that distraction things are not going well whatever progress Matt made in showing Electra the light is undone by a betrayal stick sends an assassin after her she manages to live but now she is out for his blood and Murdoch be damned she will kill her old Mentor soon they understand why stick did it the hand is after an Ultimate Weapon that thing called black Sky it once took the form of a young boy now it takes the form of Electra if the hand gets a hold of her the chaste may lose the war stick decided that to prevent that it's worth sacrificing Electra's life Electra gets to stick and tries to kill him but Matt breaks up the fight in their tussle however the hand shows up and kidnaps stick Matt and Electra manag to free him but in doing so Daredevil has placed himself firmly in no's crosshairs to draw him into a trap noou kidnaps anyone Daredevil has ever saved including Karen to Aid in their fight against the hand Matt picks up some things from Melvin armor for Electra and an upgraded billy club for himself now containing a steel fiber cable perfect for striking or as a grappling hook now all he has to do is listen close to find the prisoners he and Electra fight their way through the ninjas to free them but now the only way out is the roof top where an Army of Ninjas await both know it is certain death but together they are willing to face it outside they fight impressively but the hand is powerful noou nearly lands a killing blow to Matt until Electra stops him at the cost of her life she dies in Matt's arms as for Matt he gets some unexpected Help The Punisher Reigns bullets from a nearby rooftop with the assist Daredevil is Victorious ious and stick beheads noou ensuring no further resurrections a month later Matt calls Paige to the offices of Nelson and Murdoch one last time to tell her who he really is and elsewhere the hand completes the task they came here for all the blood they drained it was in service of raising the black Sky using that blood into a mystical sarcophagus they begin the process of resurrecting Electra to become their Ultimate Weapon the following year Dr Steven strange loses everything for years he's been the best surgeon around and knows it too he saves lives and pushes medical technique to new heights but not to help people it's all in service of his Tony Stark sized ego that's why he can't be with Christine he likes her and she likes him but he can't help pushing her away making everything about himself his Hu costs him a relationship and ultimately his hands too because he drives with the same overconfidence as everything else and when he gets distracted speeding in his Lamborghini he crashes strange wakes up with hands full of metal pins hands which no longer function with the Precision needed to perform surgery meanwhile the hand now in possession of the black Sky a resurrected Electra proceed to their next task buried under Hell's Kitchen is an underground structure containing the bones of a dragon and the substance that is key to Resurrection the hand used the last of what they had to resurrect Electra and now they need more otherwise their immortality is at an end for them this is what it has all been about the building they needed emptied the one Elena was killed for sits a top those dragon bones that's why they needed it cleared the substance however is locked away behind a wall SE healed by the Elders of Klan to get through it they will need the powers of the protector of Klan the Iron Fist a mantel now held by a man named Danny Rand using Electra they intend to capture Rand and open that wall if they do and if they extract that substance a large portion of New York City will collapse killing countless citizens this should be a job for Daredevil it's all going down in his City but Matt has retired from vigilantism something he promised foggy and Karen instead he focuses on pro bono work as for foggy he finally lives out his dreams of working at a large prestigious firm and Karen has embraced her budding career as an investigative journalist officially taking a job at the New York bulletin of course Once Matt finds out what is going on all that becomes unimportant the promise is broken and the devil returns Danny Rand the Iron Fist joins forces not only with Daredevil but also Jessica Jones and Luke Cage two Heroes with super strength resulting from various scientific experiments the clashing personalities make for an uneasy Alliance made all the more tenuous when Daredevil hesitates once he senses Electra all bets are off he thought she was dead and now they have a second chance as part of her Resurrection the hand erased her memories so she does not remember Matt but when she has the chance to kill him she hesitates too that's everything he needs to have faith that she is not just the black Sky somewhere in there Electra's Soul still resides but Matt's hesitation costs them dearly because when she gets the chance whether it's Electra or the black Sky she finally gets stick on the wrong end of a blade ending her old mentor's life and in the end it nearly costs Matt his own life to stop the hand Matt and the others devise a hail plan to blow up the building above the dragon bones that will cave in the structure burying the substance and ending the hand's ability to resurrect by the time of the final battle Matt's repeated attempts to reach Electra do return her memories and with her new found Freedom she chooses to die she will stay in the collapsing building but even this is not enough to deter Matt if she chooses to stay he will do the same they kiss and the building falls Matt survives the collapse though he is left unconscious and Gravely wounded he is found and brought to the St Agnes orphanage under father lantom and Maggie's care his friends however are left to believe he is dead as for Electra her body is not found in the wreckage meanwhile The Avengers downfall begins it starts on a mission in Nigeria where Wanda tries to contain an explosion but in doing so accidentally kills 26 people including 11 relief Aid workers from wakanda the seeds of Doubt planted after ultron's attack finally grow and the world demands accountability General Ross pitches The Avengers on something called the sovia Accords no longer would they be a private organization instead they would answer to the UN acting only on their orders Tony Stark is ready to sign he's come face Toof face with people who lost family in sovia he bears that guilt and hopes this will quell it but Rogers refuses he has faith in individuals he has faith in The Avengers what if the UN orders them to do something they disagree with or doesn't let them help in a situation where they're needed the debate is cut short when Rogers gets word that Peggy Carter has passed at the funeral her great niece speaks and Steve recognizes her as his old neighbor agent 13 she shares something Aunt Peggy once told her compromise where you can but where you can't don't even if everyone is telling you that something wrong is something right even if the whole world is telling you to move it is your duty to plant yourself like a tree look them in the eye die and say no Steve does exactly that when the sovia Accords are signed he's nowhere to be seen the document is ratified but the proceedings are interrupted by a terrorist explosion which kills many including king tachaka of wakanda security footage implicates Bucky Barnes the Winter Soldier and tachaka son to Chala vows Revenge meanwhile Steve learns about the explosion and Carter shares a tip on Bucky's location so when the Black Panther attacks Steve is there with Sam to defend him but soon the authorities intervene and arrest them after the chaos Steve considers finally signing the document until he learns that Tony has Wanda confined at his house hoping to avoid another public incident while the Accords are sorted out with a fellow Avenger in custody Rogers refuses to sign at that house Vision tries to improve Wanda's mood who's still fraught with guilt after the incident in Nigeria and convinced the rest of the team hates her then he bonds with her over something they share she doesn't understand the chaos magic which Powers her just like he doesn't understand the infinity stone which Powers him both have a scary mysterious part of themselves things take a sour turn though when she realizes his vision is there to ensure she can't leave while Bucky is in custody a doctor shows up sent by the UN to evaluate him but helmet Zemo has taken the man's place and apparently he's been busy he set off the bomb at the signing and framed Bucky to trigger a Manhunt so Bucky would be found and by using the data publicly released by Romanov after taking down Hydra then by threatening and interrogating the right people he found a notebook a notebook which contains the key words that trigger Bucky's programming and turn him into the Winter Soldier he questions him about the location in Siberia where he was Brainwashed the location where the other winter soldiers are still being kept in stasis then he sets him loose and escapes Captain America and Falcon manage to get Bucky before the authorities and hang low until the Winter Soldier sleeps and Bucky wakes up he tells them how Zemo asked about Siberia and they surmise he must be heading there to recruit the other Winter Soldiers for some nefarious cause they prepare to head there themselves but first they'll have to evade Tony Stark they're operating outside the sovia Accords so General Ross dispatched Iron Man to stop them for the battle ahead they recruit some allies Falcon brings in Ant-Man who he met in their tussle at Avengers HQ and Roger calls Clint who joins them after helping Wanda Escape Vision though she doesn't need much help just some encouragement to leave meanwhile Tony Stark recruits some allies as well Black Panther and a kid from Queens named Peter Parker who for six months has been operating as the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man when his team catches up with the other half of the Avengers Rogers continues to heed Peggy's words he refuses to comply and he tries telling Tony that the phony doctor helmet Zemo was behind all of this but Tony doesn't listen instead they fight and things escalate until Tony's friend roie gets badly hurt meanwhile Steven Bucky escape with Natasha's help she attacks black panther to stop him pursuing them and betrays her promise to fight for the Accords to fight for Tony Tony looks into Steve's claim and finds that the doctor who showed up to interrogate Bucky was not the real doctor and he sees what Ross did with the Avengers who helped Steve they were thrown into a secret Maximum Security Prison seeing that Steve might be right and that Ross might be going too far he goes after Steve not as an enemy but a friend and black panther follows quietly behind him Tony Steve and Bucky explore the facility and find the winter soldiers all dead Zemo did not come here to recruit them everything he's done has been to accomplish one thing tear the Avengers apart they Unleashed Ultron and killed his family he knew he couldn't kill them they're too powerful but he could topple them from within to finish the job he shows them one more thing he found in his research footage of the Winter Soldier killing Tony's parents before seeking his own Revenge Stark turns to Rogers and asks only one question did you know and Rogers half-heartedly explains that he didn't know it was Bucky who killed them but the truth is he knew they were killed by Hydra something revealed by Zola he goes after Bucky and the three of them brawl until the Arc Reactor which Powers Iron Man's suit meets its match in Captain America's shield with Tony's armor disabled the fight is over zemo's plan seems to have worked as Steve and Tony part as enemies outside Zemo listens to an old voicemail from his wife to hear her voice one more time before putting a gun in his mouth but tala stops him though this man is the one truly responsible for killing his father tala decides not to be consumed by revenge like Zemo or Stark meanwhile after violating the sovia Accords by attacking Black Panther and allowing Steven Bucky's Escape AP Natasha is a fugitive on the run while in hiding she receives a package from y Elena the girl who was briefly her sister it seems the brain research stolen by Alexi and Molina enabled the Red Room to Move Beyond mere psychological manipulation now they have actual mind control girls like Elena are controlled by drov with no hope of Escape until y Elena is dispatched to kill Okana a former Black Widow before dying Okana releases a red dust that frees Elena's mind then gives her the rest asking her to free the others hoping to recruit Natasha's help she sent her a package containing more of the antidote which puts a Target on her back drov dispatches Taskmaster someone with the ability to mimic any attack they see but Natasha manages to escape with the red dust in hand she finds Elena who informs her the Red Room is still active apparently Natasha and Clint's attack 8 years ago failed and drov is still alive they decide to change that together they'll take him down but this time they'll be sure he's dead first they need to locate the Red Room so they find their old father former Red Guardian Alexi shostakov and break him out of prison unfortunately he doesn't know where the Red Room is either but He suggests their old mother Molina might so they head to her farm and after 21 years apart there makes sure family is reunited and although after two decades y Elena knows their family was never real the painful reminder doesn't sit well Alexi tries to comfort her but as always he can't find the words so instead he sings proving that despite his complaints of how boring a mission it was to be a father he did care about her enough to remember her favorite song from childhood American Pie Natasha also has some catharsis when she learns that she was wasn't abandoned by her first mother in truth her mother relentlessly searched for her after she was taken by the Red Room which got her killed by drov with their feelings as repaired as they can be Natasha and Molina hatch a plan Molina calls the Red Room to have Natasha y Elena and Alexi taken into custody but only so they can get inside to destroy it from within Natasha comes face to face with drov where he reveals that her explosion 8 years ago didn't kill his daughter Antonia but instead gave him his strongest weapon yet in Saving his daughter's life he implanted a chip in her neck allowing her to become the Taskmaster Natasha keeps him talking and bragging enough to reveal the database of all his black widows now it's time for her to attack except her programming disallows it whenever she senses his pheromones so she severs a nerve in her oil factory Center Natasha incapacitates him so she can download his database onto a drive but she's interrupted by an attack from the other black widows until y Elena hits them with the red dust freeing them from mind control meanwhile Molina's clash with drov forces has damaged the ship's engine so they'll soon crash but Natasha will not allow herself to suffer the same guilt she did last time so she goes back for Antonia to ensure survival and once they're on the ground the red dust free her too in the aftermath of the crash Natasha reunites with her family and tearfully apologizes to Elena in all the years since their family dissolved and Natasha escaped the Red Room she should have come back for her blood or not they are family and she deserved better as general Ross and his forces arrive Molina Alexi and yena head off while Natasha stays behind to finally give herself up for arrest meanwhile the New Black Panther tala is quickly Torn Between Two manners of ruling on one hand his father always insisted wakanda remain hidden from the world as it had for decades on the other hand people like Nakia tala's ex-lover insist wakanda has a responsibility to help others around the world as a member of the war dogs just like the long dead in jobu she seen people suffering firsthand Tal's mind however remains unchanged he woke will keep wakanda hidden and safe just like his father would have wanted but soon his perception of his father changes drastically after stealing a vibranium artifact from a museum the Arms Dealer who evaded Tal's father for 30 years appears on their radar ulyses claw ever since claw's attack years earlier wakanda has wanted his head so tala goes after him with help of an upgraded Black Panther suit courtesy of Princess Sher his sister wakanda's Chief scientist he's also joined by Nakia and oo head of the Dora malaj an elite group of Warriors they plan on intercepting claw in South Korea where he intends to sell the vibranium but things get complicated when they realize the buyer is Everett Ross an agent of the CIA part of a sting operation in the ensuing chaos tala nearly kills claw but holds back when he notices the public watching instead he allows the CIA to take him into custody but Claw is quickly freed by a powerful Ally and jobu's Son Eric during Eric's attack Ross protects Nakia by taking a bullet so tala insists they bring him to the one place with the technology to save him wakanda OKO argues it's not their responsibility but tala cannot stand by knowing they can help in the time since his father was killed Eric trained and prepared for an eventual Homecoming in wakanda he graduated MIT at 19 and went on to join an elite Black Ops unit just to practice killing and kill he did enough to earn him the nickname kilmonger Ross Only Knows kilmonger for his time with the Black Ops but tala recognized a ring worn around his neck identical to one tala himself wears something he kept from his father after his death he realizes Eric must be wakandan and must have something to do with his father returning home he demands answers from Zuri and gets them the whole story how tala's father killed his own brother and left a young boy behind a boy who became killmonger after freeing claw Eric quickly betrays him he kills the Arms Dealer and brings his body to wakanda proving he succeeded were tala and tala father failed this wins him favor from some including tala's close friend wakabi who lost parents and Claus attack years earlier with royal blood in his veins Eric has the right to challenge tchala in ritual combat for the throne so he does and he wins before he can strike tala a lethal blow Zuri offers himself a sacrifice in his stead without hesitation Eric kills him and seemingly kills tala a new king and black panther is crowned and he is ruthless quickly setting his plans in motion to send vibranium weapons around the world for violent Uprising Nakia begs oo to help overthrow the new king but despite what she may want OKO and the Dora malaj are loyal to the crown whoever May wear

herb and the plant's power brings tala to the ancestral plane where he sees his father tachaka welcomes his son to the afterlife but tala refuses to go he tells his father that he was wrong he was wrong to leave Eric in America and he was wrong to keep wakanda closed from the world tala will write those wrongs he wakes with new purpose and returns to his people with tala alive Kil monger's claim Is invalidated AO and the Dora malaj are back on to chala's side but with wakabi and others supporting kilmonger Civil War breaks out they fight while killmonger's ships take off carrying

he ever needs him he'll be there just a phone call away later tala brings Steve and Bucky to wakanda where they'll work on curing Bucky of the Winter Soldier still in his mind so no one like Zemo can ever activate that side of him again meanwhile Peter Parker has returned to Queens and after fighting alongside Iron Man returning Stolen Bikes and stopping petty crime just doesn't have the same appeal so every day he bombards his contact happy with a wall of texts begging for the next Avengers Mission soon the opportunity presents itself when he spots ATM robbers wielding powerful weapons he doesn't know it yet but these are the work of Adrien TBS and his crew built off chitari Tech pilfered from the Battle of New York he stops the robbers and returns home through a window too late he notices his best friend Ned Leeds waiting in his room and with that his secret identity becomes a little less secret and unfortunately Ned isn't great with Secrets the next day he lets slip that Peter knows Spider-Man scoring them invites to a party hosted by Peter's Crush Liz but partway through the party Peter is forced to bail when he notices strange explosions in the distance clearly related to those alien weapons Spider-Man heads off leaving Peter Parker to disappoint not only Liz but also Michelle who may be harboring a small crush of her own Spider-Man finds goons showing off their weapons to a potential buyer and chases after them but he's stopped by Adrien Tums himself who Pilots a flight suit resembling a vulture Peter nearly drowns in their brawl until a remote controlled Iron Man rescues him through the suit Stark admonishes Peter he's just a kid and he's not ready to handle something of this caliber in no uncertain terms Tony tells him to stop chasing the vulture guy but Peter thinks he's ready for more and intends to prove it so he works with Ned to chase down a lead he held on to one of the weapons from last night and inside found a glowing purple gem an alien power source when tomb's men come to retrieve it he evades them but sticks them with a spider tracker and later Ned tracks them to Maryland which happens to be right near Washington DC where the Academic Decathlon Nationals are being held so to Liz and Michelle's Delight Peter joins them in that night he follows the tracker to find tomb's men stealing from Department of damage control trucks but once again Peter is outmatched against the vulture and ends up unconscious in the truck he wakes up in a dodc warehouse at first he's resigned to wait for morning when the doors will open but things become urgent when his suit's AI identifies the purple gem as not just a power source but an explosive one he escapes the warehouse but by the time he reaches Ned the gem has already been activated by going through an x-ray Security check at the Washington Monument the explosion knocks the elevator off its track threatening to drop his classmates to a fiery demise but Spider-Man catches them just in time and when the elevator falls again he rescues Liz personally returning home Spider-Man asks the AI to review footage of the weapons deal from the other night and it identifies the buyer as Aaron Davis so Peter finds him and learns from Aaron where the next deal is going down on the Staten Island Ferry at 11: there Peter learns that Stark was probably right he is in over his head in his clash with tun Peter inadvertently cuts the Staten Island fery in half and too late realizes the FBI knew about the deal they might have even caught Adrien if not for Peter's meddling but Peter has little time to process it all because right now he has lives to save he nearly rips himself in half trying to pull the fery together to no avail but the day is saved when Iron Man arrives and this time Peter is in real trouble enough to war to visit not from a remote controlled suit but Tony himself he's the one who called the FBI and against his wishes Peter got involved Tony takes back his suit as Peter begs I'm nothing without this suit if you're nothing without this suit Tony responds then you shouldn't have it he returns home to a distraught Aunt May he can't just ignore her calls and disappear like that but her tone softens when she sees that he is not okay he can't tell her the truth truth but he gets close telling her that he lost the Stark internship but there is a bright side now he gets to focus on just being Peter Parker and Peter Parker gets some good news his crush on Liz apparently is not one-sided and apparently she doesn't have a date for homecoming yet the Big Night Comes Peter arrives at lizza's house and is greeted at the door by her father Adrien TBS and on the ride to the dance between Peter's voice and the fuzzy details of how he spent his time in DC Adrien figures out that he's Spider-Man at the school Liz gets out of the car but Adrien asks Peter to stay for a minute his message to Peter is simple mess with my business again and you along with everyone you love will die after skipping her party and missing the decathlon Peter is forced to disappoint Liz one more time he leaves her at the dance and with help from NED along with a phone Peter cleverly left in tomb's car they track his location and quickly realize his Target today is moving day for happy he's overseeing a shipment of weapons and Tech from Stark Tower to the new Avengers facility Upstate that's vulture's Target Peter finds tombs and again finds himself outclassed vulture drops a building on him before heading after Tony's jet buried under the rubble Peter cries out for help and he remembers what Tony said to him him and he knows that if he can't stand up it's true he really is nothing without the suit and that's enough to remind Peter who he really is with or without the mask he is Spider-Man so he gathers his strength and lifts the rubble before vulture goes Airborne Spider-Man hooks onto him and follows onto the jet their brawl sends it crashing onto Coney Island and when vulture's suit takes enough damage to blow up Peter rescues tombs from the explosion and leaves him for the authorities back at school Peter learns that Liz is moving to Oregon with her mom meaning that de cathlon team needs a new captain Michelle though she lets them know she prefers to go by MJ and when Peter leaves to meet with happy MJ watches him go happy thanks Peter for stopping the theft then takes him Upstate to meet Tony there Tony welcomes Peter to The Avengers presenting him a new suit and preparing to announce him at a press conference but though he's impressed Tony Peter knows the truth he's not ready for this he'd rather stay the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man for now which leaves Tony with a room of press expecting a big announcement so he grabs his engagement ring walks out with pepper and gives them one back home Peter finds a gift from Tony he's decided to give Peter back his suit and when Peter tries it on he doesn't realize Aunt May is behind him yet again he's revealed his secret identity and Aunt May reacts appropriately shouting what the meanwhile Dr Steven strange has been chasing every procedure expert or medicine that might restore full use of his hands he spends everything he has in the process but nothing works Christine is with him all the way but strange isn't content only to lose his fortune so he pushes her away too with bitter accusations he's just a s story to her someone to pity but he soon discovers a faint hope strange learns about a man named Jonathan Pangborn he was paralyzed until a visit to the comer Tage somehow granted him the ability to walk again strange heads there himself and meets the ancient one she talks of souls spirits and Magic so of course he scoffs until she knocks him into the astral Dimension and sends him on a trip through the Multiverse for the first time possibly ever strange humbles himself and begs her to train him she initially rejects him for his arrogance but after he stays on their doorstep for 5 hours and her Protegé Carl MTO suggests he could be useful the ancient one relents and his training begins he proves a quick study helped by the photographic memory which previously earned him a simultaneous MD and PhD he also shows a potentially dangerous curiosity something the librarian Wong notices when strange is quickly attracted to the most heavily guarded books including the book of kostro the study of time some of its pages are missing stolen by a former Master now Zealot named cilus who killed the previous librarian over the following months Strange's talent in the mystical Arts soon Rivals his talent in the field of medicine his abilities grow and so does his curiosity he steals the book of kogi Ostro and follows its instructions to manipulate time with the eye of agamotto MTO and Wong stop him warning that tampering with natural law is dangerous he could end up Trapped In One Moment In Time looping for eternity and they tell him what they're really up to the ancient one is the latest in a long line of sorcerer Supreme who protect the world from mystical threats through the power of three sanctums in Hong Kong New York and London the pages cisilia stole detail a ritual to contact one of those threats doramu a being who dwells in the dark dimension it's a lot to take in but strange has little time to process because just then cilus attacks his attack destroys the London sanctum and send Steve through a doorway leading to the New York sanctum where Steve watches cilus kill its Master next he spots strange in their fight the cloak of levitation takes a liking to Strange and assists him in restraining celus who quickly stalls for Time by divulging his plan destroy all three sanctums and remove the Earth's protection so it can be brought into the dark dimension there time does not exist and eternal life will be accessible to all instead of just the ancient one who herself feeds off the dark dimension to prolong her life cilus escapes regroups and returns to the New York sanctum where strange MTO and the Ancient One make their stand she warns cilus that doramu deceives him he does offer eternal life but it is a life of Torment cilus doesn't believe her and the fight begins she is mortally wounded but in the moments before her death she visits strange on the astral plane stretching one moment into thousands giving them a chance to speak she tells strange what he must do his entire life he has succeeded by running from fear of inadequacy and failure instead she gives him a grander purpose something to run toward the greater good he must fight not for himself but everyone and she tells him that in order to stop doramu he'll have to bend the rules just like she did feeding off the dark dimensions energy something MTO is incapable of as he believes in their tenants too strongly she dies and strange returns to MTO the New York sanctum Has Fallen en so they rush to the sanctum in Hong Kong only to find it too in shambles the Earth is unprotected and slowly slips into doramu dark dimension so strange bends the rules with the eye of agamotto he reverses time and buys them a second chance but cilus is stronger and defeats them again seeing their inevitable failure strange has another idea he visits the dark dimension and introduces doramu to a foreign concept time the demon kills strange and moments later strange returns using the ey he's trapped them in an infinite Loop where strange experiences countless deaths and all the pain that comes with them soon doramu realizes he is trapped In This Moment no matter how many times he kills his foe so he finally gives in offering strange whatever he wants if he let him go and what strange wants is for him to leave Earth alone and take his zealots with him doramu agrees and the world is saved but disgusted at Strange's flagrant disregard for natural law reversing and bending time mordo leaves the comage and Wong tells strange he still has much to learn including the fact that the eye of agamotto is actually an infinity stone the time Stone meanwhile MTO visits Pangborn and turns him back into a paraplegic his first step toward ridding the world of sorcerers who abuse their power and Pangborn is not the only one robbed of his abilities there is also Matt Murdoch recovering at the orphanage where he was first raised he can barely stand up he's deaf in one ear and the woman he loved is gone taken from him again after miraculously returning from the grave Matthew still believes in God but now he's seen his true face the Lord is spiteful and Matthew will no longer serve at his whim only to be met with one Misery after another of course sister Maggie tries to console him out of self-pity though maybe her words would mean more to Matt if he knew the truth that she is his mother soon his hearing begins to return perhaps all is not lost Matt moves to the Clinton church basement where he begins to train before long he puts on a black suit like he wore at the start of his vigilante career and goes out to fight the criminal element of Hell's Kitchen he does save a couple of innocent people from an attempted kidnapping but the fight ends with him on the ground asking not for the criminals to stop but to finish the job because as a good Catholic of course Matt cannot bring himself to take his own life they spare him and in the days that follow Matt is reinvigorated by an old enemy Wilson Fisk the mob boss has become an informant to the FBI sharing knowledge of New York City's crime syndicates in exchange they assure that Vanessa will not be charged as an accomplice to his crimes currently she is abroad to keep her safe from her association with Fisk but if all goes according to plan they will soon be reunited in the meantime after an attempt on his life at the prison Fisk is moved into a penthouse for his protection the FBI does not want to lose this valuable source of information they're already racking up so many arrests off his tips Fisk living the high life after all the people he's killed that doesn't sit well Matt finds foggy who until now thought he was dead but it is not a friendly reunion Matt is here because he needs something foggy still has the credentials needed to get inside Riker's Island Matt swipes his bar ID and uses it to get inside he nearly gets himself caught and even killed in the process but he does find out what he needs the attempt on fisk's life was a ruse he paid Jasper Evans to Stage the attack so Fisk could get himself pulled out of prison and put in that Penthouse to continue on his investigation Matt finally tips off his other friend that he is alive Karen pagee he asks her help in tracking down Jasper Evans especially now Matt has some nerve making the request first he let his friends think he's dead and now Karen and foggy are under investigation by the FBI for their association with Murdoch all thanks to Fisk who has fed the FBI a false tip implicating Murdoch in his crimes Fisk has claimed that Matt has been working for him as a lawyer laundering money bribing law enforcement manufacturing evidence and more of course it's all lies but in their investigation it is inevitable the FBI will learn about Matt's double life and if it comes out that Karen and foggy knew about it they will be in trouble so Karen agrees to help Matt on the condition he turned himself into the FBI Matt agrees that when all this is said and done he'll do exactly that they find Jasper Evans they even convince him to testify against Fisk they bring him to the office of the New York bulletin and it's a slaughter a man in a daredevil suit shows up he kills Jasper before he can testify and anyone who gets in his way Matt fights him off and only narrowly survives the man in that suit is quite skilled he is an important part of fisk's plan his name is Benjamin Poindexter he's an FBI agent Fisk took notice of him because during his transport to the penthouse he was ambushed by the albanians a rival gang po Dexter single-handedly took out many of them and rescued Fisk researching his past Fisk discovered the perfect recruit to give Hell's Kitchen a new villain and keep the heat off himself at a young age Dex showed remarkable Talent he could throw any object at a precise Target with Incredible Force like a baseball at his coach's skull for example killing him is what got Point Dexter sent to Dr eileene Mercer in him she discovered Psychopathic Tendencies a complete lack of empathy and a proclivity for killing small animals but over time Dr Mercer taught him the right things to say and do and they learned that he can be good or at least pass for it if he has a North star to follow someone like her with morals that he can emulate and if he has structure in his life when she died he had to find a new North Star and he did in a girl named Julie that he once worked with stalking her became a part of his daily routine learning of this Fisk arranged for her to run into Benjamin Point Dexter the two went on a date together where he slipped up a few times knowing things he shouldn't once it was clear he's a stalker she left him his North Star was gone so Wilson Fisk filled the role finally he forced Melvin to make a duplicate Daredevil suit gave it to Benjamin and now he has a psychopathic daredevil on his side one that can turn anything into a dangerous projectile with Bullseye accuracy after po Dexter's Slaughter at the bulletin Daredevil is found guilty in the court of public opinion taking any heat off Fisk himself for Dex things get worse the albanians Ambush on Fisk was public and the FBI decided to make Dex the scapegoat for the new botched transfer they suspend him without a North star in Julie and without the structure of a job Dex knows he's in trouble so he approaches Julie again with many apologies and she actually agrees to help him through it but later when he texts her looking for help she tells him to leave her alone meanwhile to identify this impostor Daredevil Matt visits the one man capable of building that suit Melvin Potter through him Matt learns the suit was made for an FBI agent so Matt approaches the agent who has been questioning paage and Nelson on fisk's false tip an agent Ray Nadem Matt tells him the Daredevil who attacked the bulletin was an impostor an FBI agent on fisk's payroll together they uncover his identity though snooping and poindexter's apartment gets Nadim shot but they do manage to escape and Nadem does live he brings the Revelation to his Superior Tammy Hatley along with supervisory special agent win that's when Nadem finds out just how deep the rot at the FBI goes Hatley puts a bullet in win because no one can know what Nadem just said Fisk has to be protected Hatley is on his payroll and so is Nadim after all his career has been on the upswing since Fisk started feeding him those tips and and if Nadem should even think about going against Fisk he need only remember what happened to Hatley she used to have two children Fisk made it look like a hidden run she still has Ally and she intends to keep her alive by keeping Fisk happy she urges Nadim to do the same for his two children when he meets the other corrupt agents he learns they are never to call Fisk by his true name but instead Kingpin meanwhile AI uncovers kingpin's true plot the real reason he fed all those tips to the FBI he hasn't just taken out crime bosses across the city but also took over their connections all the corrupt officials who were on their payroll are now on his by consolidating them under him Fisk now holds a monopoly on corruption and not only gives him power but now he can extort protection money from anyone in the organized crime crime game it seems that it will be impossible to stop Fisk so Karen tries a dangerous Gambit as a journalist she gets into his penthouse for an interview and uses the opportunity to provoke him if she can get him to physically attack her the FBI will have no choice but to charge him first she tells him how she was with Ben at the nursing home and knows how he killed his father it doesn't have the desired effect instead instead Fisk asks some questions of his own he asks about Mr Murdoch's Secret Life Karen's expression says it all fisk's suspicion is Right Matthew Murdoch is Daredevil Karen makes one more attempt to provoke by confessing what happened to Wesley his right-hand man who was like a son to him he died not by the hands of a rival gang as Fisk assumed she killed him Karen was right it does make Fisk angry but before he can attack the FBI intervenes foggy realized what she was up to and tipped them off just in time after that Karen knows she is in danger she heads to the church looking for Matt but he is gone sister Maggie tells her what happened she was quietly praying for the safety of her son it was only a whisper but of course Matt heard it all this time he had a mother but didn't know Maggie kept it from him so did father lantom two of the people he trusted most after the Betrayal he left the church but Maggie offers to hide Karen there and after leaving the church Matt decides once more that God's plan has failed the devil will take it from here he gets close to fisk's Penthouse with lethal intent until he overhears something fisk's FBI contacts have located Karen at the church now Matt has a choice kill Fisk or GH save Karen no choice at all of course he rushes to the church it's another Slaughter civilians are killed po Dexter nearly gets Karen until father lantom steps in the path of his billy club dying in her place in the battle Matt is badly hurt and point Dexter gets away after that Matt and Karen finally get a chance to reconcile and though she tries to talk him out of it Matt is certain that killing Fisk is the only only option they have left but foggy gets him to agree to give the law one more try so they pin their hopes on a witness who can testify to Fisk in the FBI's corruption agent Nadem they get his family protection they get him to the courthous despite an assassination attempt and he does testify but Kingpin has corrupted the jury another dead end for Fisk things could not have gone better he is off the hook and has even brought Vanessa home not only that but she is showing more interest than ever in his work and even decides to take part in it she's the one who convinces him that Nadem is a loose end that must be closed she's the one who gives po Dexter the order to kill him something Nadem knew was coming he isn't surprised when Dex shows up at his home and he isn't surprised when the bullet penetrates his skull it's the night of fisk's wedding when Matt strikes first he calls Dex and turns him against his employer Matt did some digging on him he knows about po Dexter's past and about Julie he also knows what Fisk did to her Matt tells him where to find the body the truth is that she did intend to help Dex those texts telling him to leave her alone were sent by fisk's men using her phone while her corpse was preserved in a freezer in the penthouse Matt and Dex both arrive intending to kill Fisk though he does not go down without a fight and manages to break point Dexter's spine Matt on the other hand gets the Kingpin to his knees in front of Vanessa he beats him he grabs kingpin's head and will break his neck but he hesitates he unleashes his rage in a primal scream and he does not kill the Kingpin he will not let Fisk destroy who he is there is instead another way foggy and Karen knew knew what would happen to Matt if he crossed this line so when nadim's wife got them a video her husband sent before his death they made it public as fast as they could to ensure Matt would hear it a final confession testifying to fisk's crimes and as the words of a man who expects to die their veracity will not be in doubt Matt knows they will hold up in court he does not need to kill Fisk as much as he wants to so he lets him live but promises that if he comes after foggy or Karen if he leaks Matt's identity as Daredevil he will prove that Vanessa was the one who gave Dex the order to kill Nadem she will spend the rest of her life in a Cell finally the battle is won arrests are made Matt reconciles with Maggie and his friends too they even decide to open a new law firm Nelson Murdoch and Paige she may not be a lawyer but she is is one hell of an investigator but not all threats have been neutralized po Dexter's spine has been broken but he is currently undergoing an experimental procedure soon he may walk and throw again in Asgard Thor discovers that Loki has taken Odin's place as king trapping the real Odin on Earth under a spell to forget who he is the brothers head to Earth and find Odin has broken free from Loki's spell just in time to realize his time has run out before death takes him Odin tells Loki and Thor about their long hidden older sister the one with a thirst for Conquest who Odin was forced to lock away he warns that with his death the power that keeps her locked away will fall he dies and as though on Q Hela is freed and quickly proves her power by destroying Thor's hammer he and Loki Retreat on the bifrost but she follows and knocks them out of it plunging them onto the distant planet of sakar there Loki ingratiates himself in High Society while Thor is captured by a woman Scrapper number 142 and she turns him over to The Grandmaster a being who collects Warriors from around the universe to fight as entertainment to win his freedom Thor is forced to fight the grandmaster's champion but first he makes a new friend another captive fighter corg a mild mannered member of the Cronin species Rock like humanoid creatures and Thor learns that Scrapper number 142 is Asgardian further he notices a valkyrie tattoo indicating she was part of asgard's Elite Squad of female warriors he begs her for help warning that Asgard is in danger but she's indifferent besides there's no way off sakar time comes for Thor to face the grand Master's champion who turns out to be The Incredible Hulk the fight is even matched until The Grandmaster intervenes turning the tide in his Champion's favor afterward Thor and Hulk chat in the locker room where with his limited vocabulary Hulk explains that he arrived on sakar in the quinjet which he took after the battle with Ultron Thor asks for his help escaping but Hulk is Happy on sakar spending his days smashing left on his own Thor calls to heimall who shows him the state of things in Asgard Hela has taken over and without Thor's help she'll soon rule the nine Realms Thor relays this message to Valkyrie but after losing all her friends to Hela thousands of years ago she has no desire to do it all over again she'll stay here safe on sakar so Thor escapes on his own and betraying his words Hulk can't help but follow his friend on the quinjet Thor activates a video of Nat and that wakes Bruce for the first time in 2 years with the ship in no condition to fly especially after some Hulk smashing they head off to form Plan B meanwhile The Grandmaster sends Loki and valky to track them down but Thor's words finally get through to her she restrains Loki and finds Thor agreeing to join forces against Hela all they need is a ship strong enough to get through the portal that will take them home and Loki knows how to steal one from The Grandmaster so once again Loki becomes a reluctant Ally and brings Thor to the ship then once again betrays him but Thor is ready this time and easily incapacitates his brother meanwhile Valkyrie creates a diversion by arming corg for revolution then she joins banner and Thor as they escape through the portal and cor's revolution is a success they too escape on a ship and even invite Loki to join them in Asgard Thor faces his sister again while his old friend Heim doll evacuates the civilians with help from Valkyrie Banner corgs revolutionaries and when it becomes necessary the Hulk even Loki seeing his chance to be the Savior luns a hand meanwhile Thor loses an eye to Hela and nearly loses the fight entirely until he remembers Odin and Odin reminds him that mu was not the source of Thor's power it merely focused power that was already there power which Thor now turns against Hela and her Army the Army Falls but Hela continues to prove invulnerable Asgard gives her power as long as it stands so will she which leaves only one option Thor sends Loki to Odin's vault which contains many weapons including one recently acquired by Thor himself the crown of Searcher capable of destroying Asgard in an instant meanwhile Thor and Valkyrie by time time enough for the people of asgar to escape and time enough for Loki to summon certer aboard the Escape ship Thor Hulk and Valkyrie share front row seats to Ragnarok the destruction of Asgard and with it hel's demise finally Thor takes his seat on a makeshift throne and sets a course for Earth the following year Scott Lang approaches the last 3 days of house arrest punishment for assisting Rogers in Germany it's been a tough couple of years but he started a security Consultation business with Louise and he's on much better terms with his family Pimp's family on the other hand is another story although he and hope had grown close by the end of their first Adventure things took a turn after Germany Scott used their equipment in the battle implicating Hank and hope turning both into fugitives they've since broken all contact with Scott while focusing their efforts on rescuing Janet from the quantum realm a hope renewed in Hank after watching Scott enter the realm and return alive and without Scott they've built a new suit turning hope into the WASP one night Scott has a dream which feels more like a memory but not his own Through The Eyes of Hank's wife Janet vany he sees a young hope so he calls Hank and leaves a message about the strange dream Hank and hope get that message the day after first activating their Quantum tunnel a machine which should allow them to safely go subatomic and retrieve Janet that can't be a coincidence they realize Scott and Janet must have become entangled on a Quantum level and maybe they can use that entanglement to figure out Janet's location in the quantum realm but it's not that simple there are several other parties who get in their way the FBI hopes to catch the pins and find Scott breaking house arrest especially the overzealous agent Jimmy woo there's also Sunny Burch a black market dealer they've been buying parts from who's gotten an inkling of what they're building and wants to profit off it and there's Ava star AKA ghost Bill Foster has been working with her to find a cure before the quantum disease kills her something which is only days away now their attempts thus far have failed but they find out about Hank's efforts and realize Janet has been absorbing Quantum energy for three decades if they rescue her from the quantum realm they could extract that energy and use it to cure Ava but Hank argues that will likely kill Janet thing is Ava is desperate she's hurt a lot of people what's one more in the midst of all this Louis and Scott security company is on the verge of Landing a a big client Louise will be meeting with the client tomorrow but first they need to make adjustments to the proposed plans something only Scott knows how to do so after evading Birch Ghost and the FBI Scott tells Louise how to find Hank lab currently hidden in the woods in the meantime Hank and hope activate the quantum tunnel and entanglement kicks in again allowing Janet to speak through Scott and warn that they only have 2 hours to rescue her the probability fields are currently aligned just right and it'll be another Century before they're aligned again she gives them her location but they can't rescue her now because as though on Q Lise calls with some bad news bur found Louise and used truth serum to extract Scott's location then shared that info with a contact at the FBI now they're closing in Scott confesses his mistake to Hank and hope and they're once again forc to go on the run after Germany and now this they're ready to cut him out of their life entirely but he's soon given the chance to redeem himself first Scott runs home to ensure that when woo checks he'll find him still abiding by house arrest then once he learns hope and Hank have been taken into FBI custody he risks everything to break them out because if he's caught he goes back to prison and loses all the trust he gained with his family worst of all he'd lose his daughter Cassie again after breaking them out he helps them evade Birch the FBI and ghost even recruiting help from Luis and his friends to finally give Hank a chance to see his wife while Ant-Man in the WASP by him time Hank goes subatomic and after 30 years away finally reunites with Janet when they return from the quantum realm Janet sees Ava in pain and shares some of her Quantum energy to stabilize her it's not a permanent cure but for now it stops Ava's years of Torment in the aftermath having proven his loyalty and his determination to do the right thing Scott rekindles his relationship with hope and with his house arrest over he gets to spend more time with both her and his daughter Cassie all blissfully unaware of the Calamity just around the corner after Loki failed to conquer Earth and acquire the space Stone contain within the Tesseract and after Ronin failed to acquire the Power Stone contained inside the orb Thanos has taken matters into his own hands first he visits xandar where the Power Stone was left by the Guardians of the Galaxy under watch of the novacore Thanos makes short work of them executing half the planet and leaving with the first of six stones already making him one of the most powerful beings in the universe next he finds Thor and the remaining asgardians still on their journey to Earth Hulk makes a valiant effort but in Thanos he's finally met his match to save Banner's life Heimdall uses his last ounce of energy to call on the bifrost and send him to Earth heimall pays for that with his life next Thanos turns his attention to Thor demanding they turn over the Tesseract he nearly kills Thor until Loki finally confesses that he grabbed it from Odin's Vault before evacu ating Asgard he hands it over then pledges allegiance to Thanos but only as a ruse to get close he makes his move but Thanos has the power Stone and easily kills Loki then he destroys the ship and leaves with two stones in his Gauntlet on Earth Banner lands in Doctor Strange's sanctum where he warns of thanos's arrival they quickly recruit Tony for the incoming battle which is there before they know it ebony Ma and Co obsidian arried to collect the time Stone protected by doctor strange and his spells as the fight begins Hulk refuses to emerge humiliated after losing his fight with Thanos but on a class trip to MoMA Peter notices the Carnage and joins the fight the battle ends when Ma subdus strange and pulls him aboard their ship but Iron Man and Spider-Man protected by a space ready suit from Stark manage to sneak aboard and kill Maul then Tony makes a bold decision rather than head home what if they do something Thanos would not expect take the fight to him by heading to his home Planet Titan strange agrees but first makes a promise if it comes down to saving Peter Tony or the time Stone he'll choose the stone every time the fate of the universe depends on it meanwhile more of thanos's forces go after the other infinity stone held on Earth the one envisions skull the Mind Stone he and Wanda are currently in Scotland falling in love until they're attacked and vision experiences something unfamiliar to him pain they might actually lose this fight he begs Wanda to leave he may die but at least she can live Wanda refuses and soon it doesn't matter because the children of Thanos find them and leave no escape the two of them don't stand a chance but they aren't alone Captain America Falcon and the Black Widow arve together they fight off the villains regrouping at Avengers HQ with war machine they decide on their next move Vision points out that Wanda could destroy the mindstone with her power but Wanda and the rest refuse they don't trade lives and they realize there's another way with advanced technology they could separate vision from the stone and then destroy it and Steve knows exactly where they could get that sort of Technology wakan meanwhile the Guardians of the Galaxy respond to a distress signal and find the destroyed as guardian ship they bring Thor aboard and he gets them up to speed letting them know Thanos has begun his conquest and he has a pretty good idea where he's going nowhere that's where Asgard left the reality Stone in the collector's care but to defeat Thanos Thor knows he'll need a powerful weapon especially with mner destroyed so the team splits up Thor Rocket and Groot head to n ofer the place where mner was originally created Peter gamor and the rest head to Nowhere on the way gamor confides in Peter she knows something which would help Thanos get the stones keeping that knowledge hidden is more important than her life so she begs Peter to make a promise if Thanos gets her and Peter has the chance she needs Peter to kill her they arrive on nowhere to find Thanos interrogating The Collector Gamora moves quickly and kills her adoptive father and though she hates him Mourns him just the same until Thanos drops the charade none of this is real fact is they were too late and Thanos already has the reality Stone which is how he was able to create this fantasy and ens snare Gamora now in her father's clutches she begs Peter to fulfill his promise to kill her they finally profess their love for one another out loud just before quill pulls the trigger only for the gun to vanish another reminder that with the reality Stone Thanos is in control he leaves with Gamora now he has three stones and three to go next he seeks the Soul Stone something he once sent Gamora to find she claims not to have found it but he knows when his daughter is lying so he tortures her sister until gamorra acases revealing the Stone's location vormir there they find Red Skull transformed by the space Stone into the soul Stone's caretaker he informs Thanos that the Soul Stone is unique it carries a sort of wisdom to ensure that whoever possesses it understands its power the stone Demands a Sacrifice you must lose that which you love a soul for a soul gamor laughs she finally got what she wanted most to see her father fail how can he sacrifice what he loves if he loves nothing nothing but she is wrong he loves his daughter and once she lies dead in the pit below the Soul Stone is his meanwhile Thor Rocket and Groot arrive on need of Aer to find rri the sole survivor of a recent visit from Thanos he tells them what happened Thanos forced them to build his Gauntlet to harness the infinity Stone's power then killed all but rri and shut down their neutron star to build a new weapon for Thor they'll need to reignite the star it nearly kills Thor but he gets it done and thus the Stormbreaker is born in the heart of a Dying star an axe powerful enough to call on the bifrost itself all it needs is a handle so Groot grows him one elsewhere nebula escapes her confinement and calls the Guardians to meet her on Titan she knows that's where Thanos will go so when Stark strange and Parker land they run into the Guardians the two groups fight until they realize their common cause and prepare for thanos's arrival but first strange looks into the future and out of the 14, 605 he views there is only one where they succeed soon Thanos arrives the team fights with everything they have mantis puts him in a trance and they pull the gauntlet inch by inch sliding it off his arm then quill asks where he took Gamora mantis feels with Thanos feels and tells Peter he is in anguish he Mourns nebula puts it together a soul for a soul he killed gamor Tony sees the rage in Quill's eyes and begs him not to engage we've almost got this off tell me you didn't do it Peter begs Thanos I had to the Mad Titan responds no you didn't Peter says at first quietly then loudly before striking him inadvertently breaking mantis's spell now Thanos fights back and gets the better of them he nearly kills Tony until strange Bargains for his life by handing over the time Stone in wakanda The Avengers have arrived and shuri is at work removing vision's mindstone but it will take time which is quickly running out thanos's forces are already there wakanda's forces and the Avengers do their best to hold them off but soon Thanos himself arrives One By One The Avengers fall time has officially run out Vision tells Wanda to destroy the mindstone he reminds her that half the universe depends on it he knows it's not fair that she has to be the one to do it and he tells her he loves her before Wanda destroys the stone and him with it but with the time Stone Thanos has the ability to reverse time so he does vision returns to life just so Thanos can rip the Stone from his skull and kill him all over again finally he has all six stones nothing stands between him and his wish to eradicate half of all living things except the God of Thunder Thor arrives with Stormbreaker and puts it in thanos's chest you should have gone for the head Thanos says then snaps his fingers and half of all life in the universe vanishes on Titan just before strange disappeared tears he looks at Stark and reassures Tony there was no other way and Peter with his Spider Sense knows he's part of the half that will disappear and begs Tony for help he can't give I don't want to go sir please then he apologizes for letting down his mentor I'm sorry Peter says before turning to Ash elsewhere Hank and hope Pim send Scott Lang into the quantum realm to healing particles for Ava but while he's in there they vanish like so many others stranding Scott in the quantum realm meanwhile Thanos watches the sunrise secure in his victory but 23 years ago someone gave Nick Fury a pager in case of emergency before disappearing himself he has time enough to call for help a call that Carol Danvers will soon answer 21 days later that time comes Tony Stark is a drift in space with only nebula to keep him company but their time has just about run out Tony records a message for pepper he tells her how they'll run out of oxygen tomorrow morning but tonight when he goes to sleep it'll be like every other night he'll be fine and he'll dream of her Tony closes his eyes and lays his head down but it's not yet his time to rest Carol Danvers appears and brings brings them home while Tony recovers the other surviving Avengers plot their next move rocket detects a power surge of cosmic proportions on a distant planet identical to the one they saw when Thanos snapped that must be his current location so that's where they go hoping to retrieve the stones and use them to reverse what Thanos did but when they arrive they only find disappointment once his job was done Thanos saw no use for the stones and reduce them to atams the job is done and it always will be I am inevitable Thanos says this time Thor goes for the head Thanos is dead and all hope is lost over the next few years each Avenger copes in their own way Steve Rogers runs a support group Tony Stark settles down with pepper and raises a daughter named Morgan a daughter who loves her father a lot to be precise she tells him I love you 3,000 Natasha coordinates with other Heroes around the world to manage whatever other crises may come Banner finds a way to solve his Hulk Problem by treating it as a cure rather than a disease now he lives in Hulk form but with the intelligence of Bruce Banner Thor settles down outside new Asgard a new home for surviving asgardians in Norway there he drinks trying to forget the trauma of losing his mother father brother best friend and failing to stop Thanos and Clint Barton who lost his entire family in the snap takes on the vengeful Persona of ronin killing anyone he deems deserving like Yakuza thugs in Tokyo or the tracksuit Mafia in New York City a crime syndicate part of the broader Network run by Kingpin who is no longer behind bars in a bid for more power he uses the Ron to his Advantage by leaking information to him that's how Barton finds the tracksuit Mafia and Slaughters them including their leader William Lopez allowing Kingpin to take over their operations directly William's daughter Maya is a witness to it all and she vows revenge on Ronin in the meantime the loss of her father sends her into a rage Kingpin who of course keeps his role in her father's death a secret harnesses that rage by giving her a job working for him her first gig is helping to take out a rival gang moving in on his territory and on her first day on the job she runs a foul of Daredevil but she holds her own against him something Kingpin can't say about most of the others who work for him in 2023 5 years after Thanos snapped his fingers a rat skitters over Pimp's old Quantum equipment inadvertently freeing Scott from the quantum Realm he wanders through a traumatized World barely understanding what happened but quickly realizing many were lost he runs home to find with relief that his daughter was not one of them though he did Miss 5 years of her life his next stop is Avengers HQ where he shares a theory he spent 5 years in the quantum realm but to him it was only 5 hours time works differently there maybe they could take advantage of that and use the quantum realm to time travel and fix what Thanos broke they take the idea to someone with the right expertise Tony Stark but Stark is a changed man with pepper and Morgan now he has something to lose this idea is impossible and Reckless but when the Avengers leave the idea stays it keeps him up and he realizes it could be done working with Banner he proves it now that just need a plan for their Time Heist they know they can't change the past so going back and stopping Thanos isn't an option that would just create a separate reality leaving this one no less broken but they can borrow Infinity Stones from that separate reality and use them to reverse the snap in this one they just need to determine where and when each of the stones can be found thankfully each of them have had experiences involving the Stones so collectively they're able to pin them down they split into three teams and divide the remaining pin particles among them they'll have enough for one round trip each and no more so there is no room for error Rogers Stark banner and Lang head to 2012 Banner visits the ancient one to retrieve the timestone she of course refuses it's her sworn duty to protect it and if Banner were to take it that may save his timeline but she and everyone in this timeline would be in trouble Banner promises to return the stones once they're done but she can't stake the fate of their world on a promise but her tone changes when Banner mentions that strange willingly handed Thanos the time Stone she's yet to meet strange but she knows he's coming and knows his importance if he gave it up it must have been for a reason he must have foreseen this and known the stones would have to cross realities so she fulfills that Destiny and hands Banner the stone meanwhile in the midst of the Battle of New York Rogers retrieves Loki's scepter containing the Mind Stone something which requires a quick scuffle with his past self and a quiet hail Hydra to convince some agents he's on their side Stark and Lang get the tessera containing the space Stone but Loki manages to snatch it and disappear appear so they're forced to improvise they could go back in time again to grab the stone but that would leave them with no pin particles for the trip back but what if they could visit a time where both the space Stone and some extra pin particles could be found Tony and Steve head to a 1970 Camp Lehi Roger's old training ground there Tony grabs the space Stone and Steve grabs the pin particles on the way both have encounters with ghost of their past Tony with his father and Steve with Peggy someone he still Pines for 78 years after missing their date Thor and Rocket head to 2013 Asgard where Jane is infected with The Ether which is the reality Stone in another form weaponized by the dark elves while Thor has an emotional reunion with his mother on the day of her death rocket knocks Jane out and extracts The Ether before they leave Thor summons mner to replace the one he lost nebula rhs Barton and rameno head to 2014 and split up nebula and rhs head to Morag to grab the Power Stone containing orb before past quill does while Barton and romanof head to vormir for the Soul Stone but two cybernetic nebulas in one reality causes problems past nebula receives the memories of future nebula and shares them with past Thanos the Mad Titan sees that his quest to erase half of life will be successful but the Avengers are trying to reverse it he intends to stop them so they capture future nebula and ensure past nebula the one still loyal to Thanos will be the one to return to the Future on vormir redskull tells Romanov and Barton the price of the stone a soul for a soul both are eager to face their Destiny and pay the karmic price of their sins but it's Romano who succeeds she saves Barton and adds one more drop of blood to her Ledger this time her own Natasha dies and with the price paid Barton leaves with the Soul Stone The Avengers Assemble in 2023 They Mourn for Natasha then make sure her sacrifice has meaning using the stones takes a heavy toll so the strongest among them with the greatest likelihood of survival wields Tony's homemade Gauntlet the Hulk snaps and a call from Barton's wife tells him it worked all those erased by Thanos have returned though Natasha remains dead there are no refunds when it comes to the Soul Stone they have little time to celebrate as the impostor nebula has already opened a portal for her father Thanos attacks aboard his ship past Gamora questions the captured nebula who came from the future she learns that in the future they will become friends and sisters before Thanos sacrifices her so she frees nebula when the other nebula comes and tries to kill Gamora for her treachery future nebula kills her past self on the ground Thanos takes down the Avengers one by one even Thor Thanos intercepts Stormbreaker and prepares to sink its blade into the God's chest but mner flies into him then keeps flying because it's not Thor who called for it but Steve Rogers Captain America wields the power of a God and holds his own against Thanos for a little while soon he's on the ground with a broken shield Thanos calls forth his armies and the lone Avenger stands to face his Destiny until he gets a call from Sam Wilson letting him know he's not alone portals open flooding the battlefield with resurrected Heroes summoned by strange and Wong Avengers the captain shouts Assemble the battle tips in The Avengers favor and when Carol Danvers arrives their Victory seems all but assured but in this battle only one thing matters who has the Infinity Stones and despite their best efforts in this historical round of keep away Thanos retrieves them he prepares to snap in this time he won't leave half the world alive because he's seen how stubborn they can be in their grief instead he'll erase everything and start from from scratch Tony looks at strange the master of the Mystic Arts holds up a single finger silently telling Stark this is that one future where they win and Tony knows what he has to do he attacks and struggles for The Gauntlet until Thanos pushes him away I am inevitable Thanos announces then snaps nothing happens Tony's stolen the stones the power surges through him it's excruciating but he summons the strength to reply and I am Iron Man then snap Thanos and his armies vanish as the stones take their toll Stark collapses he's quickly surrounded by loved ones and once pepper gives him permission to rest the light on his chest goes dark at his funeral they play a message recorded by Tony the night before their travels through time it's a message of Hope for the future and a message of love it concludes when the Hologram of Tony looks at his daughter and tells her I love you 3,000 the ark reactor which saved Tony's life 14 years ago engraved by Pepper to say proof that Tony Stark has a heart drifts onto the lake as Avengers friends and family remember the hero and Stark is not the only one who spilled Blood on the battlefield nearly every hero did meaning their d DNA some of which contains genetic code for superpowers lies in the open Fury sends a group of Scrolls including gravic to retrieve the blood and this collection of DNA becomes known as the Harvest but this will be Fury's final mission on Earth for a while shaken by thanos's near victory over not just Earth but the universe Fury lets himself do something out of character Retreat he accepts a position that will take him to space for years building a complex Aerospace defense system called saber to keep this position secret he asks Taos to impersonate him while he's gone and he's not the only one looking to leave things behind Valkyrie asks Thor when he'll take his rightful place on the throne but he decides to leave new Asgard in her care making her the new leader as for Thor it's time for him to be himself for a while rather than who he's supposed to be so he joins the Guardians of the Galaxy in search of Adventure later Banner Bucky and Sam work with Rogers to complete some unfinished business now that the task is done he needs to return the stones and mner to their rightful places in history keeping the promise Banner made to the ancient one but when Steve returns from his travels he's an old man it seems that after completing his mission he decided to try living life for a while he gives his shield to Sam Wilson and with it the mantle of Captain America Rogers doesn't tell him about the life he lived but the ring on his finger says everything somewhere in another time he and Peggy are finally sharing that dance and somewhere else outside of time a Loki is in trouble in that alternate 2012 snatching the Tesseract put Loki in the crosshairs of the TVA or time variant Authority there is something called The Sacred timeline encompassing all the events past present and future which are supposed to occur as decreed by three mysterious timekeepers when someone does something which deviates from that timeline like Loki stealing the Tesseract they become a variant and create a branching reality which eventually leads to chaos that's where the TVA comes in when such a thing happens they erase that branching reality capture the variant and put them on trial usually resulting in their being pruned a polite way of saying vaporized but Loki gets a rare second chance because one TVA agent named Mobius sees something in him recently a variant has been wreaking havoc somehow they've been evading the TVA and killing their people Mobius thinks Loki could help capture that variant because that variant is another Loki only problem is that Loki from 2012 is a villain one who has not been transformed by experience into an ally of the Avengers but Mobius believes in this Loki he believes that deep down he doesn't want to hurt people he just needs Loki to see that too so he shows him footage of his life the life he's lived and the life he's yet to live all the pain and suffering he causes but also love for his father brother and mother and also Redemption sacrifice and his death at the hands of Thanos eventually Loki admits the truth he is weak so he hurts and kills as a desperate plea for control through fear he also sees the tva's Power he even finds a drawer full of infinity stone the most powerful forces known in his world are paper weights here the TVA is powerful Loki has no choice and he agrees to help them find the Rogue Loki going through files on him Loki has a realization variants are found because they cause Nexus events which result in branching realities so where could this Loki variant hide where they wouldn't create Nexus events apocalypses if they constantly ly travel to times and places where an apocalypse is about to occur they can't be found because no matter what they do no Nexus event will be created because the world is about to end anyway using that theory he finds the Loki variant and learns that he is actually a she who has adopted the name Sylvie Loki finds himself outmatched especially given her ability to enchant people she can control them and read their memories and she is intent on taking down the timekeepers something Loki can get behind so he abandons Mobius and leaves with her as they hide in another apocalypse they get to know one another Sylvie was deemed a variant at a young age and has been on the run for a long time growing up in the ends of thousands of Worlds Loki has spent a lifetime failing and now his very right to exist is being challenged Loki and sylv for the first time in both their lives find themselves truly connecting with someone maybe even falling for that someone and two variants of the same being feeling about each other the way they're feeling is powerful enough to create a nextus event even in the face of an apocalypse which gets them captured by the TVA but when Loki and Sylvie spoke they realize something about TVA agents they all believe they were created by the timekeepers but Sylvie has looked in their heads and seen memories from before their time at the TVA the truth is that they are all variants just like her and Loki they've all been lied to Mobius doesn't believe it at first but Loki is insistent and it starts to make sense he must have had a life before all this one that's been wiped from his memory Mobius turns on the TVA to work with Loki instead but he's quickly dis covered and pruned then Loki and Sylvie are taken before the timekeepers but are rescued by Hunter B15 another agent defecting after learning the truth like Mobius and when they attack the timekeepers they find they are lies too mindless Androids built by someone else before they can investigate further Loki is pruned but Sylvie soon learns that getting pruned doesn't kill you it just sends you to an empty place at the end of time so she steals a Time twister used to travel through the timeline then prunes herself to join Loki and Mobius in that void at the end of time they find elith a large cloud-like monster which obliterates anything in its path but lokis are survivors and many of them dwell in this place some even agree to help Sylvie and Loki with an insane plan she surmises that the real Puppet Master is likely hiding at the true end of time guarded by elath if she can enchant the monster they can get through him to reach the true timekeeper she gives Mobius her stolen time Twister so he can return to the TVA then she and Loki head through elath and find who they're looking for he who remains the strange man explains everything eons ago a variant of himself lived on Earth in the 31st Century as a scientist he discovered that there were other universes out there and he discovered how to Traverse them so he worked with variants of himself to trade knowledge and Technology but some of the variants were not so kind and saw each world as just another world to conquer this led to a multiversal war which only ended when he discovered that tears in reality created a creature called Al capable of consuming time and space itself he weaponized the creature to prune the branches of time and narrow things down to one sacred timeline then he created the TVA to ensure things stayed that way as the sole survivor of his many variants he became known as he who remains after millions of lifetimes he's tired he's ready for someone else to take over and he identified this pair of Loki as the ones for the job they have two choices kill him as originally intended or take over the TVA and let him retire but he warrants if they kill him that just means the defense against his many variants will be gone the multiversal war will repeat and he will once again be its sole survivor meaning his death would instantly be undone Sylvia accuses him of lying and readies her blade but Loki isn't so sure if he's telling the truth maybe they should take a minute to think about it Sylvie is disgusted they're so close to freedom from the tva's rule and Loki is enticed by the promise of a throne but Loki promises her that's not it he just wants her to be okay and his expression says he's telling the truth they kiss until Sylvie pushes him through a portal to the TVA using a Time twister she grabbed off the desk then kill s he who remains back at the TVA Loki frantically approaches Mobius only to find Mobius has no idea who he is and he notices a statue resembling he who remains it seems Loki is in the tva's past when he who remains ran things himself before instituting the myth of timekeepers or a Boris or OB for short head of repairs and advancement shed some light Loki is is time slipping spontaneously blinking between the past and present perhaps a side effect of Sylvie using he who remains temp pad on him there is a cure but it is risky at the heart of the TVA is the temporal Loom which refines raw time into physical timeline if Mobius activates an extractor near the loom at the same time Loki prunes himself Loki will be released from time and the extractor will pull him into the present assuming the untested equipment or temporal radiation don't kill them both and they're on a tight deadline once Mobius and B15 spread word the timekeepers were fake the TVA halted pruning and after he who remains death the timelines are branching rapidly it's becoming too much for the loom to handle if it keeps going everything could be destroyed while they figure out a solution OB must shut the blast doors to protect the TVA and once those doors are closed even if Mobius pulls Loki out of raw time they won't be able to get back inside and the radiation will kill them it's now or never but as they prepare for the dangerous procedure Loki Time Slips again this time he goes to the Future and the TVA is falling apart something he'll need to worry about later right now he needs to find a Time stick and prune or miss the the window he frantically searches but only finds Sylvie what is she doing here Loki doesn't have a chance to ask before someone prunes him the extractor pulls him into the present launching him and Mobius back into the TVA just before the doors close who did Loki the favor of pruning him what was Sylvie doing in the tva's doomed future both Mysteries to find answers Loki and Mobius track down Sylvie who is trying to live a normal life away from the TVA on a new Branch she's decided to call home but that and every other branch is at risk not everyone at the TVA was convinced to stop pruning General Doc and her Minutemen have gone Rogue attempting to prune every Branch but the sacred timeline working together Loki Mobius and Sylvie stop them but not before they've pruned many branches erasing the count Lives who resided in them and there's no Silver Lining despite their pruning the loom is still reaching its limit putting every timeline at risk OB is working on a retrofit to expand its capacity but there's a problem they'll have to open the containment doors to reach the loom and as a security measure those doors are coded to he who remains temporal Aura without him they won't open they'll need to get a hold of one of his variants and Loki has an idea how while time slipping he overheard a conversation between he who remains and Mobius is old boss Ren Slayer the two must be working together they track her temp pad and locate them in 1893 where they find the variant Victor timely before his death he who remains arranged for Ren Slayer and his AI assistant Miss minutes to find this variant and prepare him to lay the foundation for he who remains returning they found timely as a child in 1868 and gave him a copy of the TVA manual so by now he's become an inventor and expert in all things temporal Loki and Mobius bring timely to the TVA while Sylvie gets a little Revenge Ren Slayer is the one who pruned her world and sent her on the run as a child so Sylvie sends Ren Slayer on a one-way trip to the end of time where Ren Slayer finds He Who remains corpse and Miss minutes who Clues her in on a secret Ren Slayer once commanded he who remains Army but when he instituted the myth of the timekeepers he erased her memory along with everyone else at the TVA minutes suggest they forget about resurrecting he who remains and instead take over themselves they return to the present to recruit an army starting with General Doc and the Minutemen Hunter X5 joins up the rest who refuse are crushed to death in a Time Cube then they kidnap timely but don't get much further than that OB takes down Miss minutes by restarting her to factory settings by rebooting the whole system which as a side effect also shuts down the dampeners that prevent the use of magic at the TVA good news for Sylvie who then uses her magic to outwit Ren Slayer and prune her sending her to the void where elith approaches as the loom approaches meltdown Loki realizes that the future he slipped to earlier where the TVA is falling apart is no longer the future it is now he finds his past self the one without a Time stick who someone pruned and Loki realizes he is that someone he prunes his past self and with Sylvie gets back to the loom they have timely unlocked the doors but they're too late radiation levels have exploded ripping timely apart the moment he steps outside hope is lost the loom explodes as Loki and the others await the end of all things but somehow Loki is alive his time slipping has returned he has no control over it but it sends him to the Past on branches where his friends reside living normal lives before their recruitment to the TVA on one branch Mobius is a single father named Don who sells jet skis on another OB is Doug a science fiction writer and theoretical physics Professor who uses his expertise to help Loki He suggests that Loki must be controlling his time slipping subconsciously why else would he be visiting his friend's branches specifically but hard as Loki tries he can't seem to control it so instead Plan B he hands OB a copy of the TVA manual so he can use it to build the temp pad then if they gather all his friends together the ones who were there before the loom exploded their Collective temporal Aura would point the temp pad to that moment and Loki could travel back there he collects his friends Mobius B15 and the others all except Sylvie she doesn't want to be a part of this she just wants to live a normal life yes she is being selfish but so is Loki he just uprooted the lives of his friends for this Crusade not to save the world but because Loki doesn't want to be alone he realizes she's right he returns to OB and the others and he tells them it's over they can all go home but Sylvie changes her mind when the world starts tearing apart around her it seems Loki was right if they don't fix the loom every Branch will end and none of them will have lives to go back to anyway except they're too late late sure Loki gathered his friends but reality is falling apart things are disappearing including the temp pad reality collapses and his friends die until another shred of Hope Loki slips back in time he's learned to control the time slipping it's just like their plan to use people's temporal Aura to pinpoint a time and place he controls his time slipping not by focusing on when or where but on who he returns to before the loom meltdown he replays the event again and again to no avail timely dies every time Loki spends centuries learning everything OB knows and returns with enough knowledge to perfect their plan this time Victor makes it he installs the multiplier but it doesn't matter the timelines are branching infinitely they can expand the Loom all they want it'll never be enough Loki slips Through Time In Search of answers and gets them from he who remains who reveals the truth the loom is not melting down it is activating a fail safe when it reaches capacity the loom is designed to automatically prune every Branch except the sacred timeline erasing the countless Lives who reside on them Loki could destroy the loom to spare their lives but that would also spare the lives of he who remains variant which means multiversal War which means the destruction of everything it seems Loki has two choices destroy all those other branches but keep the sacred timeline or trigger the multiversal war destroying everything including the sacred timeline he travels time to seek guidance Mobius tells him about Duty and doing what's right even if it's difficult Sylvie advocates for free will destroy the loom and even if we all die let us die fighting she grew up in apocalypses and knows that sometimes it's okay to destroy something if there's hope you can replace it with something better and that is what Loki does he returns to that moment before the Looms apparent meltdown this time he steps outside himself the temporal radiation should kill him but he is a god with no magic dampener after ob's reboot he can protect himself he destroys the loom and just as he who remains promised the branches begin to die but Loki is a God he grabs the branches and uses his magic to keep them alive he carries them to the end of time and sits on he who remains thrown taking his place as Steward of the Multiverse the TVA gets back to work with a new vision tracking down he who remains variant Mobius retires finally visiting that Branch to see his past life and Loki continues to sit keeping the Multiverse alive in place of one sacred timeline he's created a tree formed of many branches and on one such Branch the world is recovering from half its population disappearing for 5 years before suddenly returning a phenomenon which people call the blip but not everyone is reunited with lost loved ones one W maximoff after losing her parents to a missile and her brother to Ultron now Mourns Vision a couple of weeks after his death Wanda storms into the headquarters of Sword the sentient weapon observation response division there Tyler Hayward leads a project to resurrect and weaponize vision Wanda demands his body so she can properly bury it but they can't hand over $3 billion worth of vibranium just for her to put it in the dirt she leaves with nothing but more grief she visits a plot of land in West viiew New Jersey where Vision had intended to one day build them a home the grief is too much enough to trigger an explosion of chaos magic which engulfs a surrounding town in a hex and within it creates a fabricated reality one where vision is alive and where the town's folk play the roles of characters in a sitcom called W division in sovia the dick fan Dyk show and other Classics gave her and her family comfort now living in it does the same the hex is powerful even Wanda herself is unaware at first that the reality is false and when she suspects the truth her mind turns away from it preferring this false reality to one filled with grief and anguish outside the hex Tyler Hayward leads the effort to understand it the team includes once intern now scientist Darcy Lewis FBI agent Jimmy woo and Monica Rambo daughter of Carol danver's best friend she had a job at sword but disappeared in the blip Upon returning she found her mother dead from cancer and rather than succumb to grief she returned to work right away though many are cautious of the hex she enters it like everything else which crosses the boundary her clothes are transformed to fit the production design of Wanda sitcom her true personality is buried under waves of Wanda's grief and like a puppet she plays the role of another character in the maximoff home Wanda and vision play husband and wife and like a sitcom they face the requisite trials and tribulations including pregnancy which in this reality comes to term in a matter of hours rather than months before they know it Wanda and vision are raising twins named Tommy and Billy as she and Monica watch the twins w mentions how she herself is a twin she had a brother named Petro for a moment the spell is broken and Monica break's character he was killed by Ultron wasn't he Wanda acts quickly to eject Monica from the hex she will not allow anyone to ruin the illusion of Wanda vision and with Monica gone they turned to their other neighbor Agnes for help with the children outside Monica reports that the hex is being perpetuated by Wanda causing Tyler to see her as a villain but Monica felt Wanda's pain pain she knows well herself after losing her mother she doesn't believe Wanda is doing this on purpose they should work with her to resolve the hex but Tyler chooses a different approach antagonism anything they send into the hex gets transformed to fit the reality when they sent a drone into her 60s era sitcom it was transformed into a toy helicopter so they changed tactics once Wanda vision evolves into an 80s style sitcom they send in an 80s style drone but without Monica's knowledge it's been armed by Tyler it fires at Wanda but only manages to piss her off and she ejects the Drone just like she did monicaa meanwhile Darcy tries something as well she sends an email brand new technology in the 80s setting in it she warns about the maximoff anomaly and its effect on Westview residents curious vision investigates the mind of a coworker and realizes the truth that everyone in the town is under Wanda's control with their true personalities buried Vision tries to confront Wanda but she denies everything and just tries to move on things only get more hectic when Wanda's Dead Brother Petro shows up though he wears a different face soon it's time for the Wanda Vision Halloween episode the twins have aged up to 10 years old exhibit superpowers inherited from from their parents and the show's taken on a Malcolm in the-middle aesthetic in the midst of it all Petro sees right through the Illusions and asks Wanda how she's doing all this what kind of magic allows her to unconsciously control an entire town but Wanda has no idea herself soon the truth is revealed there's a reason Petro is so curious about Wanda's power it's because he isn't Petro at all he's some guy named Ralph boner who's been controlled to act like petro and who was controlling him a witch named Agatha Harkness posing as a character in Wanda Vision named Agnes she's powerful but not as powerful as Wanda so she's been watching trying to figure out the source of Wanda's power she tried prying it out of her with fake Petro but that failed so now she takes a more direct approach she lures Wanda into her basement by kidnapping Tommy and Billy Wanda tries to attack but Agatha already cast runes on the wall and in a given space only the witch that cast the runes can use her magic with Wanda under her spell Agatha takes a stroll through her memories and finds the source of her power it was not the mindstone as Hydra believed that only awakened powers that were already there chaos magic before Agatha reveals the full truth their interrupt by Tyler hayward's sentient weapon when Wanda ejected the Drone she inadvertently gave them the piece they were missing it was infected with chaos magic which they harnessed to finally power Vision but it's not the vision she remembers they've erased his memories and replaced them with a mission kill Wanda and kill Vision Wanda's Vision fights haywards while she and Agatha continue their talk the reason Wanda wields chaos Magic is because she is the Scarlet Witch a being foretold in the darkhold the book of the Damned a witch who is not born but forged she has no coven and no need for incantation and she is powerful more powerful even than the sorcerer Supreme and she is destined to destroy the world Wanda doesn't believe her so Agatha shows her the damage she's already done by freeing the minds of her neighbors no longer in character they beg Wanda to let their children free children who all this time have been locked in their rooms hidden from sight they beg her to let them out of the hex free them from her grief and pain faced with the misery she caused Wanda does not hesitate to open the hex and let them all out but quickly she learns she can't do that her husband vision and her two children only exist in this falsified reality if it goes away so do they opening the hex had another effect too it allowed hayward's forces to enter the town with vision occupied with vision Tommy and Billy handle the military and they get extra help from Monica Rambo who herself has developed superpowers thanks to repeated trips into and out of the hex elsewhere Wanda's Vision fights with haywards until he stops him with logic his mission is to destroy Vision but he is Vision only his memories are locked away so he awakens them and suddenly hayward's vision is back to his old self he recalls his love for Wanda and he recalls dying twice I am Vision he says before flying off in the midst of the chaos Agatha makes Wanda an offer give me your power she says and I will correct the flaws in your original spell and you and your family and the people of West viiew can all live together together in peace and no one will ever have to feel this pain again not even you so Wanda gives Agatha the power but it's useless to Agatha because Wanda remembered what Agatha said in the basement and she cast runes on the interior of the hex only Wanda can practice magic here she takes the power back then punishes Agatha by traing her in character as Agnes the nosy neighbor finally Wanda ends the hex meaning she has to say good night and goodbye to her children One Last Time Vision Two once things are resolved Rambo is approached by a scroll who summons her for a meeting with Nick Fury in the end Wanda is alone again but with a new purpose to understand her new found powers so she takes the darkhold somewhere remote to read and to practice meanwhile 10 years after leaving his father shangqi lives a normal life in San Francisco he and his close friend Katie spend their days as parking attendants and their nights drinking karaoke and just having a good time this is in stark contrast to his sister their father denied her entry into his Empire so shaing decided to build her own now she runs an

mother's pendant knowing they'll come for his sisters too he heads to maau and Katie insists on joining him despite the dangers ahead and on the way he fills her in about his real past the 10 rings and the death of his mother though he can't bring himself to admit he's a killer so he lies telling her that when he was sent on his first assassination mission at 14 he couldn't go through with it at the club in maau the 10 Rings Return and despite the skills of both siblings combined once their father arrives with his Rings they don't stand a chance he returns to his compound with both children and their pendants there he reveals why he came for them Ying Lee has been calling from Beyond the Grave she's being held captive in talo behind the dark gate he intends on rescuing her but first needs to find a path through the forest and bringing the two pendants together reveals a map showing the path which opens once a year when wo promises he will open the gate even if he has to burn the whole village down to do it while in captivity shangqi and Katie meet another of the ten Ring's prisoners Trevor Slattery the actor who portrayed the Mandarin the false leader of the 10 Rings created by aldri Killian and they meet his pet Morris a magical creature from talo a creature who knows a way in before the forest path opens so working with shaing they escape the compound follow Morris's instructions through the dangerous Forest Maze and finally reach talo there Ying Le's sister Ying Nan reveals the truth the dweller in darkness knows the 10 rings are strong enough to open the gate and free him so he has impersonated Ying Lee to trick Wen Wu into freeing him knowing the 10 Rings will soon arrive they prepare for battle Ying Nan trains shangqi in the same martial arts his mother used shaing practices with a new rope weapon and Katie learns to work a bow and arrow on the eve of the battle Shang Chi admits the truth to Katie on that first assassination mission he claimed he

dweller Rampages and with each Soul he swallows grows stronger soon he begins to consume the soul of Tal's Dragon which will make him powerful beyond measure but Katie aims her arrow and Strikes the dweller's neck stopping him and giving shangqi a chance to tear him apart with the rings with the dweller dead talo in the world is saved returning home shangqi and ktie are summoned by Wong apparently shangqi using the 10 rings for the first time sent a wave of magic so powerful they even felt it in the sanctum and not only that though the origins of the Rings are unknown even Danvers and banner can't figure it out Wong detects a beacon inside them a beacon which has now been activated calling out to someone or something in Parts Unknown meanwhile in the time since Steve Rogers retired Sam Wilson has yet to pick up the shield it just feels like it belongs to someone else so finally he decides to donate it to the Smithsonian but the US government wastes little time picking up the shield and handing it to someone else John Walker recipient of three Medals of Honor and now the new Captain America when Bucky finds out Sam relinquish The Shield he is not happy Steve chose Sam to be the new Captain America refusing the mantle is like saying Steve was wrong which means maybe he was wrong about Bucky too wrong to think he could escape the Winter Soldier and wrong to think he could be a good man he confronts Sam but Sam has bigger things to worry about like the flag Smashers some call them terrorists but others see them as saviors in the 5-year period when half the population was gone the world cooperated like never before but once that half of the population returned things were thrown into chaos many of The Returned no longer had jobs or homes to return to so they became refugees the GRC or Global repatriation Council has formed camps for these refugees but the conditions are poor people are under fed and sometimes denied necessary medicine or vaccines that's why Carly morgantha formed the flag Smashers they assist refugees but also fight to restore things to how they were during the blip when the world seemed to have no Borders or nations instead Humanity fought as one and to spread this message the flag Smashers are not afraid to use violence they caught Sam Wilson's attention because they're strong too strong for humans meaning they may have somehow gotten their hands on super soldier serum Sam tracked their location to Munich so he heads after them and Bucky insists on coming along both leave tumultuous personal lives behind Sam's sister runs a family business that's going under and Bucky lives in isolation while trying to make amends with everyone he harmed as the Winter Soldier so far he's focused on the easy part getting back at the people who benefited from the Hydra assassin but he's procrastinated on the hard part get enclosure to those he robbed of loved ones when they arrive in Munich they learn it's not just them after the flag Smashers but also the new Captain America John Walker and his partner Lamar Hoskins but despite all their strength combined the flag Smashers evade capture Walker suggests they team up but skeptical of this impostor arrogant enough to follow in Roger footsteps Bucky and Sam refuse Unsure how to proceed Bucky introduces Sam to someone who knows something about super soldier serum Isaiah Bradley the sole survivor of the US military's experiments with the serum on black soldiers he shares his bitter story and he shares his anger at a government that ruined his life then erased him from history but offers little Direction except the conversation gives Bucky an idea his once captor helmet Zemo may know something after all he managed to locate and eradicate every Winter Soldier other than Bucky so finding super soldiers is kind of his specialty they find him in a prison and before Sam has a chance to protest the idea Bucky breaks him out Zemo reveals that his prior investigations led to a place called mpor a city of Outlaws in the Indonesian archipelago there they meet with a Crim Lord named Selby and discover the super soldier serum was recreated by Dr Wilfred Nagel during their conversation Selby realizes Sam and Bucky are imposters in their crime Haven but before she can strike them down Selby herself is killed by Sharon Carter after aiding Captain America during The Avengers Civil War she became a fugitive and took up residence in mapor after killing Selby she provides him a place to hide out and uses some of her resources to track down Dr Nagel she agrees to do this favor on the condition that Sam Wilson tried to get her a pardon once this is all over interrogating the scientist they learn he once worked for Hydra then after their collapse the CIA there he tried to recreate the serum by studying Isaiah Bradley's blood and after the blip he took his work to an anonymous crime Lord known only as the power broker who funded his remaining research he was able to create 20 vials of the serum all of which were stolen by the flag Smashers there interrogation is interrupted by bounty hunters seeking retribution for their killing Selby they escape but Zemo uses the chaos to kill the scientist hoping to end the flow of super soldier serum next they need to actually find the flag Smashers and for that they have an idea da madani recently passed away she was someone who helped blip refugees it was under her care that the flag Smashers first met their leader Carly will likely be at the funeral and Zemo manages to figure out when and where that'll be so that's where they head while the new Captain America follows he insists on storming in to take Carly by force while Sam hopes to reason with her walker reluctantly gives him 10 minutes to try and Sam quickly finds the girl he shows sympathy for her cause only questioning her violent methods but before they can get anywhere in the conversation Walker loses patience and VI ly storms in in the ensuing chaos Zemo manages to shoot Carly repeatedly she ultimately escapes but first drops her vials of super soldier serum Zemo quickly gets to work destroying them but John Walker manages to grab one and stash it away in the aftermath Walker attempts to take Zemo into custody but he's not the only one who wants Zemo so do the Dora malaj wakanda caught wind that Zemo was out and considering ing he murdered King tachaka that doesn't sit well Walker takes them on and loses the fight while Zemo uses the chaos to escape Walker is humiliated he lost a fight against opponents who weren't even super soldiers suddenly taking the stolen serum himself is a tempting Prospect later Carly arranges a meeting with Sam but again before they can make much more progress in the conversation Walker shows up this time powered by super Soldier serum in the ensuing fight Carly kills Lamar Hoskins Walker's partner that sends the new Captain America into a rage she gets away but he manages to chase down one of her friends and cave in the man's skull with his shield all while the public watches unsure what to do Walker runs until Bucky and Sam chase him down subdue him and finally return the shield to its rightful owner then with the trail on Carly left cold they tie up some loose ends Bucky tracks down Zemo and hands him over to the D malaj then asks wakanda for a favor in return John Walker is formally stripped of his title as Captain America and Sam pays Isaiah Bradley a visit to hear the rest of his story a story which has never been told when Sam offers to share it with the world Bradley tells him not to bother they erased him all those years ago ago and today is no different this country will never accept a black Captain America and no self-respecting black man would even want the job the words weigh heavily on Sam as he returns home with Captain America's shield in hand as he weighs the decision he puts his focus elsewhere the family business talking to his sister he realizes something their parents did a lot of good for the neighborhood and there are many who would do anything for the Wilsons so he calls in some favors and before they know it they have all the help they need repairing the boat at the center of their family Seafood business Bucky's super strength and Metal Arm also come in handy working together they managed to keep the business afloat and Bucky gives Sam a suitcase containing the favor he asked of wakanda a new Captain America suit tailor made and designed for Sam meanwhile the Dora malaj return to an ill King tala in wakanda heart-shaped herb might save him but kilmonger burned it all 8 years ago Shi tries desperately to synthesize some in her lab But ultimately time runs out and wakanda Mourns their loss meanwhile Peter Parker continues to mourn Tony Stark 8 months after his passing but he finds hope for something good with MJ he likes her and sometimes he catches her staring at him so he thinks she might like him too and on his school's upcoming trip to Europe he plans on confessing his Crush unfortunately the universe has other plans specifically Nick Fury has other plans though unbeknownst to Peter the fury he's dealing with is actually Taos in Disguise covering for Fury who's working on saber Peter ignores his calls worried they'll disrupt his trip but trouble arrives in another form brand unlike the rest of the class he did not disappear in the blip so he's 5 years older and as a courtesy was invited on one last school trip where he quickly becomes a rival for MJ's affections things only get worse in Italy when they're attacked by a water monster Peter does his best to fight but they're ultimately saved by a mystery man in a cape who they nickname Mysterio finally Fury catches up with Peter and makes him listen listen this attack was not the first and there are more on the way he takes Peter to a secret hideout and on the way gives him something Tony left for Him special glasses at The Hideout he introduces Quenton Beck a visitor From Another World in the Multiverse his Earth was destroyed by the Elementals and he's come here to prevent this world suffering the same fate the next attack will hit Prague in 48 hours so Fury hijacks the class trip and sends him there on the way Peter tries on the glasses to find they interface with the entire Stark Global Security Network including defense satellites and back doors to communication networks something demonstrated when Peter looks around to see all his classmates text messages sped before him he's Guided by an AI named Edith or even dead I'm the hero at a pit stop a woman who works with Fury revu with Peter to give him a new suit one that doesn't look like Spider-Man to avoid people putting two and two together when they notice Spider-Man happens to be in Prague at the same time Peter is on a class trip there but as he changes Brad walks in and takes a compromising photo one he intends on showing to MJ to Edge out the competition for her heart Peter tries using Edith to erase the photo but a few mistaken words are enough to instead trigger a drone attack ATT forcing Peter to defend them then kindly ask Edith to finally erase that photo in Prague Fury chastises Peter for the near Miss while Mysterio offers a sympathetic shoulder further winning Peter to his side when the attack finally comes Peter's web pulls a small machine out of the sky which MJ finds and Beck destroys the elemental saving Peter's friends and saving the world afterward he and Beck talked and having repeatedly seen quent and's heroics Peter realizes that Tony picked the wrong guy to follow in his footsteps it shouldn't be Peter it should be Quenton so he hands over Edith and runs back to his class only to find them packing their bags after so many close calls they're cancelling the trip Peter missed his chance to confess to MJ a sacrifice he's not willing to make so he invites her to join him for one last night on the town and before he can even finish the question she says yes outside the nervous MJ and terrified Peter awkwardly fill the silence until Peter finds the courage to tell her how he feels I Peter begins am Spider-Man MJ finishes the sentence she's been watching him and it's obvious the unexpected Revelation is a punch to Parker's gut that's why she's been watching him this whole time yeah MJ confirms why else would I be watching you doesn't matter Peter lies and re berries his one-sided Crush but just then the small machine MJ found activates revealing it to be a powerful projector revealing the Elementals aren't real and Mysterio is a fraud a fraud who Peter's just handed one of the most powerful weapons on Earth they move quickly Peter needs to find Fury if he calls Beck will likely tap the lines with Edith so face to face is the only option meanwhile Beck prepares for the final stage of his plan using illusion technology combined with weaponized drones he's been able to fake Elemental attacks while making the damage and casualties real why when Beck worked for Tony Stark he realized the world's gone mad people no longer value intelligence instead they hand powered to whoever dazzles them with superh heroic Antics like Iron Man so Beck collected few other disgruntled Stark employees to fabricate Mysterio and the Elementals together they've created a hero who will demand the world's attention and soon with Edith's help they will create a major attack fit for the Avengers but it won't be the Avengers who stop it it'll be Mysterio alone there's just one problem one of his drones is missing its projector and if someone finds it they could prove the entire thing of so he tracks it down and finds it in Peter's possession now all he needs to know is who else knows he disguises himself as Fury and finds Peter to ask that question but Peter sees through the illusion until Mysterio amps things up trapping him in a more complicated illusion playing on his fears and insecurities until the real Fury comes to the rescue telling him they need to move quickly Mysterio people are after anyone who knows his ruse who else knows Peter quickly answers MJ and Ned but this is another illusion and in reality he's just given Beck his next targets Mysterio knocks Peter out with a train and heads off once he wakes Peter calls for help happy finds him and the boy is a wreck rattled with guilt and worried for his friends so happy reminds him about the guy who believed in him Tony Stark Peter gets to work using Stark's Tech to build himself a new suit optimized for fighting drones and watching him work happy can't help but think of his old friend when the attack goes down this time Spider-Man heads right into the illusion and takes it down from the inside to the outside world the Elementals disappear replaced by a swarm of weaponized drones next Peter heads for Beck himself only to find himself trapped inside another illusion but rather than Panic he listens to his Spider Sense and it guides him through to Beck the villain panics ordering all the drones to fire in an enclosed space where it's easy for a bullet to Ricochet or hit the wrong target Peter Dodges them all but Beck isn't so lucky though even as he dies Beck Smiles as though hiding one more Ace up his sleeve after the battle Peter and MJ find each other in this time neither hides their true feelings they kiss and return from the trip as a couple but their first date is interrupted by a message from Beyond the Grave before dying Beck arranged for the release of a doctored video leaked through the dailybugle.net it frames Spider-Man for killing Beck and reveals to the world that Spider-Man's true identity is Peter Parker Peter has the appropriate reaction shouting what the soon the next step in the flag Smashers plan is revealed the GRC prepares to vote on the patch act something which would immediately force all refugees back to their states and countries of origin Carly will not allow that so the flag Smashers interrupt the vote and take all the Senators hostage but Bucky is there to fight them and so is Captain America Sam Wilson Dawns the wakandan suit including modified falcon wings to to fit the new aesthetic though John Walker is there too with a shield he made by melting down his old medals but when he's given a choice between revenge on Carly or saving hostages he makes the right choice and saves lives but he's only afforded Carly borrowed time because when Sam tries to negotiate with her one last time she raises her gun and Carter shoots her the rest of the flag Smashers are taken into custody while Sam speaks with with the Senators Carly was wrong for her approach but not in her ideals if the GRC doesn't do better to take care of people it's only a matter of time before another Carly Rises he urges them to do better meanwhile the other flag Smashers join Carly in death as Zemo despite his reincarceration arranged for them an explosive end doing his best to eradicate all the remaining serum whether in VI or bodies in the aftermath it seems Sam's plea was a success as the GRC abandons the patch act and that's not the only place Sam has had an impact he also had a statue of Isaiah Bradley added to the Smithsonian where finally his story can be told Bucky meanwhile finally goes through his list giving closure and making amends to those he hurt as the Winter Soldier John Walker too finds hope he is approached by CIA director Valentina algra de Fontaine who rebrands him the US agent and offers him another chance at being a hero and Sharon Carter is given her pardon though Sam is unaware of the monster he's invited into the US government it seems that in mapor as a fugitive Sharon climbed the criminal ranks and became the crime Lord known as the power broker and now she'll have access to government SE Secrets weapons and more to grow her criminal Enterprise in New York City Peter Parker's life is in chaos after the outing of his secret identity some see him as a hero others a murderous vigilante but everyone knows his name the worst part it's his friends and family who suffer Ned and MJ are denied admission to their dream school thanks to their association with a vigilante and as Peter loses a secret identity lawyer Jennifer Walter has gains a new one she is on a road trip with her cousin Bruce Banner who recently developed an inhibitor allowing him to remain human suddenly a sarian courier craft appears looking for Hulk causing them to crash both are hurt and some of Bruce's blood drips into her wound turning her into a Hulk but unlike Banner she can choose when to transform and even in Hulk form stay in control meanwhile despite Humanity's victory over Thanos another threat looms within their planet's core the celestial tiamut the emergence was delayed thanks to Thanos erasing half the population but with the return of those billions of human lives the seed resumes its growth and now emergence is just 7 days away Icarus has dealt with this by leaving his friends and the love of his life around a century ago he realized the longer he stayed with Cersei the more tempting it was to tell her the truth so instead he left her without explanation intent on letting the emergence occur unfettered but after 7,000 years with Humanity ajac refuses to watch them die so she meets with Icarus and suggests they stop it however she has underestimated just how much Icarus believes in arishem he will complete his mission at any cost even if it means killing someone close to him and he does exactly that feeding ajac to some deviants he discovered in Alaska apparently they were frozen but as the approaching emergence heated the planet they were freed learning of her death the other eternals gather appending whatever lives they'd built in the last five centuries Cersei leaves her new boyfriend DNE and Kingo leaves his life as a Bollywood movie star though because Sprite was built to resemble a child it's been difficult for her to form any kind of life at all examining ajax's body they deduce she was killed by deviants and as Cersei says goodbye to her old friend the celestial communication sphere which allowed ajac to communicate with arishem exits her body and enters Cersei soon it allows her to speak with arishem and he finally reveals to her the truth of their mission horrified she tells the others and they quickly begin plotting to stop it but emergence is not their only problem there are also those deviants they didn't know about deviants which have grown Stronger by absorbing ajax's energy strong enough to truly test the eternal's namesake and before the week is up another Eternal is killed this time Gilgamesh they have little time to mourn so they get back to work and soon have a possible solution what if druig used his mind control ability to put TI to sleep sleep before he emerges druig doesn't have that kind of power but maybe fastest the eternal's engineer could create something to combine all their powers and share it with druig the communication sphere inside Cersei connects her with arishem fastest could take that device and repurpose it to instead connect all of them in what he calls the unim mind it's a great plan except not everyone is on board Icarus has been quiet but can no longer Stand By and Watch their blasphemy he finally reveals the truth that he knew about emergence this whole time and that he killed ajac for the first time in their lives the eternals fight something besides deviants each other Sprite takes icarus's side and Kingo leaves he believes in emergence if that's their mission but he can't be a part of hurting his own family so instead he recuses himself the rest fight and prepare to connect their energies to stop emergence but Icarus is strong and incapacitates druig so Cersei heads toward the point of emergence herself intent on somehow stopping tiamut Icarus reaches her too but then something happens love for Humanity wouldn't allow Cersei to watch them die and now love for her stops Icarus in his tracks he can't hurt her the unim Mind forms and it's even more powerful than they anticipated because it connects them all including tiamut with that power the power of a Celestial Cersei freezes tiamet in place stopping the emergence afterward Icarus is overcome with guilt and fulfills his name's sake by flying into the Sun and using tit's power still flowing through her cersi grants Sprite her wish to be human and to grow up though it also means she will one day Die 2 weeks later some of the eternals leave Earth to find other eternals and reveal to them the truth however some including Cersei stay behind she returns to DNE who prepares to reveal some secret about his ancestry but they're interrupted when arishem arrives he announces that he will spare Humanity for now but he takes Cersei Fus and Kingo to evaluate their memories in order to to render judgment on the species to decide if Humanity should be allowed to live at the cost of a new Celestial a few days later the other eternals aboard their ship find they can't reach Cersei fastest or Kingo as though on Q another Eternal named Aeros arrives along with his companion pip Aeros who goes by The Outlaw named Star Fox introduces himself as thanos's brother then he tells them their friends are in trouble and he knows where to find them meanwhile danne Witman prepares to accept a mantle passed down through his ancestry he confronts the Ebony Blade a sword containing great magic as he approaches it he finds that he isn't alone Eric Brooks the vampire hunting vigilante known as blade is there too and he has a question sure you're ready for that Mr Whitman back in New York Peter's life continues to fall apart not only are he and his friends denied admission at every college but he is under investigation for his vigilante activities and so is Happy who apparently stole some Stark Tech and brought it home they meet with lawyer Matt Murdoch happy might be in some real trouble but Peter at least should be safe from the law for now the court of public opinion is another matter guilt soon turns to desperation and Peter appr approaches Doctor Strange with an insane request what if they changed the past so Peter's name was never revealed impossible strange explains they no longer have the time Stone but feeling for the boy's plight he offers in alternative they could make the world forget that he's Spider-Man strange begins casting the spell when Peter has a realization he doesn't want MJ to forget so he asks strange to alter the spell and more people come to mind what about Ned Aunt May and happy the spell grows unstable at the many alterations and strange moves quickly to contain it but apparently not quickly enough while the spell traveled the dark borders between known and unknown it invited from other worlds anyone who knows Peter Parker is Spider-Man including Dr Octopus the Green Goblin Sandman lizard and Electro strange warns Peter that they know frighteningly little about the Multiverse so these visitors need to be returned home as soon as possible Peter recruits Ned and MJ's help soon all but the Green Goblin are captured but Peter gets an idea where he is when Aunt May calls a visitor just stopped by her shelter which normally offers help to those displaced by the blip Peter rushes in to find not a monster But A desperate and confused man Norman Osborne are they all like him him Aunt May asks if so maybe they don't need to be booted back to their reality but instead need help help to be cured of the afflictions that have turned them into villains Doctor Strange disagrees and he's already prepared a way to send them back he's contained the spell inside an artifact that when activated will send the visitors home which they realize will be a death sentence for some of them o Goblin and Electro were all pulled from their worlds moments before their deaths at Spider-Man's hands Peter will not have that on his conscience so he scuffles with strange over the artifact the sorcerer brings him into the mirror Dimension a twisting World resembling reality where one can practice magic without causing harm but Peter manages to steal the artifact and his sling ring then strand him there returning to reality he leaves the artifact in Sling ring with MJ and Ned then brings the villain to Happy's condo where that stolen Stark technology comes in handy using it Peter and Norman work hand inand to develop cures first they install a chip that returns Dr Otto Octavius control of his mind freeing him from the tentacles that warped his psyche but before they can cure the rest the Green Goblin wakes up taking over for Norman Osborne he decides to free Peter of his weakness morality and he does it by killing his moral compass Aunt May she's wounded by the blades of his glider but before they realize those wounds are mortal she tries once more to show Peter the right path she watches him drown in regret why didn't he listen to Strange and just send the villains home it's not his responsibility to fix them but it is May reminds him because he has a gift he has power and with great power she says there must also come great responsibility as she dies in her nephew's arms happy arrives to stand between Peter and the arriving authorities he gives himself up for arrest and shouts for Peter to run so Peter runs and hides wallowing in regret meanwhile Ned and MJ search for Peter but come up short so they try magic Ned calls for Peter Parker and opens a portal with the sling ring out of it steps Peter Parker but not the one they expected Ned tries again and they're joined by another Peter Parker neither is theirs but both are older versions from other worlds where they've been Spider-Man a lot longer if they could find Ned and MJ's friend perhaps they could share their experience and help him find a way back from the darkness the Peters explain that on their worlds each has a place they go when they're lost for one it's the Chrysler Building and the other the Empire State MJ knows where to find him they head to their school's rooftop Ned and MJ offer a hug and the Peters offer their stories one became vengeful after losing his Uncle Ben but getting revenge didn't make it better the other lost Gwen his MJ and after that became rageful both had long Journeys out of darkness and neither want this Peter to make the same mistakes when he tells them what may said before she died about power and responsibility it's something the older Peters have heard before it's a lesson they learned from Uncle Ben maybe the oldest Peter offers May didn't die for nothing and so Peter accepts his responsibility and joins with the two others to recreate cures for all the villains including the goblin once they're ready Peter calls into the Daily Bugle to reveal where he can be found at the Statue of Liberty a symbol for Second Chances it doesn't take long for the villains to arrive hoping to destroy the artifact and avoid their Fates but while it takes a minute for them to learn to work as a team the three Spider-Man cure Sandman lizard and with Doc O's help Electro in the midst of the battle strange returns and prepares to finally put an end to the madness but before he can activate the artifact the Green Goblin shows up and blows it up in the uing chaos MJ is thrown off the statue and Peter leaps after her until the goblin stops him so the other Peter the one who failed to save Gwen in his world now saves MJ meanwhile Peter's rage awakens the Green Goblin killed his aunt and tried to kill MJ he's going to pay for that with his life he beats the villain down picks up his glider then is stopped by the older Peter he refuses to to watch his younger self repeat his mistakes even if it gets him killed and it nearly does the goblin stabs him just before Peter administers The Cure and Norman Osborne returns but the damage is done the spell was released when he destroyed the artifact and now the boundaries between this world and the rest are falling inviting in everyone from any world who knows Peter is Spider-Man so Peter has a suggestion make everyone forget Peter Parker strange says it'll work but warns it'll leave him entirely alone but it's a sacrifice Peter is willing to make he says his goodbyes to his new friends and his old friends MJ doesn't want to forget him but Peter promises that no matter what he'll find her again and remind her who he is she says I love you and stops him saying it back instead making him promise to wait until they find each other again moments later strange casts a spell the tears close the visitors return home and the world forgets Peter Parker though one of those visitors left something behind Eddie Brock who shares a body with an alien symbiote known as Venom returns to his world short one piece of that symbiote which remains in Peter's not long after making the world forget Peter Parker Doctor Strange has a dream of dying while running with a young girl after waking up he trades one nightmare for another watching the love of his life walk the aisle with another man Christine's wedding is interrupted by a large strange creature chasing the girl from Strange's dream he and Wong defeat the monster then speak with the girl America Chavez she is from another reality and that creature was after her because someone sent it to extract her power the power to travel the Multiverse though she can't control it the power only triggers when she's afraid she and the Doctor Strange of her world were trying to find the book of vishanti a magical Book of Pure good giving a sorcerer whatever they need to defeat their enemy but their time ran out and strange grew desperate rather than let the creature take her power he prepared to kill America a sacrifice to keep her power out of the wrong hands and potentially save the Multiverse before he could though the creature killed him and she escaped to this world strange saw all this in his dream because dreams are just Windows into the lives of multiversal counterparts proven when America shows them her Strange's mangled corpse deciding their next move Wong points out the creature had strange markings runes meaning witchcraft is involved so strange seeks out Wanda maximoff for guidance she is happy to help and suggests strange bring America to her the thing is strange never told Wanda her name she drops the shade showing the ruined lands around her and the darkhold corrupted by its influence she's the one after America because with that girl's power she could travel to another Universe kill that world's Wanda and get her children back because though they were fake in her world they are real in every other she knows because she dreams of them every night she gives strange until sundown to hand America over otherwise it won't be Wanda who comes for her it'll be the Scarlet Witch strange returns to the krage and at sundown it's a Slaughter the witch kills many then Corners them and the fear activates America's power sending her and strange on a trip through the Multiverse as they explore a new world they find a strange technology which extracts and projects significant

finally fixes Christine's watch though he soon finds himself in need of repair as he suddenly engulfed by pain and a third eye appears on his forehead it seems that wielding the darkh hold always takes its toll but it doesn't take long for him to regain control just in time for another adventure one day a sorceress named Clea appears to inform strange he caused an incursion and they need to stop it she opens a portal and with his third eye firmly under control strange follows her into the dark dimension soon the Christmas season approaches and finally Peter Parker has worked up the courage to visit MJ and Ned with Peter erased from their lives things seem to be going well both have been admitted to their dream School MIT Peter had prepared a whole speech to remind her who he is and what they meant to each other but she has a good life now maybe Peter realizes it's best to leave well enough alone he saves a speech for another day but in MJ's eyes he does notice a faint spark of deja vu he returns to his new home a modest apartment and despite the painful reminder of all he's lost Peter Dawns his costume and continues to be the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man meanwhile Another Hero tries to leave his costume behind 6 days before Christmas Clint Barton visits Manhattan with his two sons and daughter he hopes to make it the best Barton Christmas yet but his past catches up with him just in time for the holidays Kate Bishop the Girl inspired by him during the Battle of New York has spent the last 12 years honing her skills in archery and martial arts hoping to follow in his footsteps she plays the hero her mother Eleanor has a new fiance named Jack he seems like a good man too good to be true so she snoops and finds Jack's Uncle Armand seemingly threatening her mother she follows Armen and he leads her to a black market auction both he and Jack attend the auction is interrupted by an attack from the track suit Mafia Kate moves quickly grabbing a costume from the items for sale not realizing it's the Ronin costume which Clint Barton wore on his bloody Conquest during the blip she fights off the mobsters and escapes later that night she heads to armen's house to investigate and finds him dead meanwhile Her Image was captured on TV and Barton saw it so he seeks her out finding a young girl behind the Ronin mask he realizes she needs help when Barton wore that costume a few years ago he hit the tracksuits hard if they think Ronin is back they'll want his blood and having followed her they know Kate is somehow connected to the character so Barton sends his kids home and stays behind to help Kate clean up the mess what they don't realize is just how personal Vendetta they're up against Maya Lopez hoping to avenge her father after Ronan killed him Clint insists Kate stay hidden while he goes out to investigate the plan get caught so the bad guys bring him to their Hideout where hopefully he can figure out who's in charge but Kate is not content on the sidelines so she crashes the party getting herself caught in the process finally Maya reveals herself demanding they tell her what they know about the Ronin Clint tells her that the Ronin is dead she doesn't believe him so to escape Barton is impressed by Kate but he warns her that the life of a hero is not an easy one he advises against it she is undeterred and though Clint plays his cards close to the vest she does learn some things about him like the fact that he's losing his hearing resulting from years of loud Avengers work or that his family is more important to him than anything when his hearing aid is busted in the fight with Maya and he can't hear his own boy on the phone Kate plays translator so she has a front row seat when Clint promises to be home for Christmas knowing he probably won't eventually it also becomes impossible for Clint to hide from her that he was the Ronin but she doesn't judge him he lost his entire family in the blip and it was the only way he could find to stay sane soon they realized they're in bigger trouble than they thought that black market auction was for items salvaged from the Avengers compound destroyed by Thanos including a particular Rolex that Clint insists they need to retrieve because it ties back to his family they find it at an apartment and his worst fears are confirmed Kate finds a notebook with the names of Clint's family members it's no longer just him that's a Target and too late they realize whose apartment it is Maya Lopez she attacks just as some bigger trouble arrives a black widow y Elena Bova between Maya and Y Elena Clint and Kate barely managed to escape and after the close call he finally puts his foot down if a black widow is involved Kate is way out of her league and needs to stay out of this back home Kate is approached by El Elena who explains how she got involved she was hired to kill Clint but personally she's happy to do it because she blames him for her sister Natasha romanov's death Kate doesn't believe any of it but y Elena won't be convinced meanwhile Clint decides to put an end to the whole mess by being the Ronin one more time he dons the costume fights his way to Maya and puts his blade to her throat but not to kill her just to show her his face and tell her to stay away from him and his family or he will kill her he also tells her who was really responsible for her father's death he may have been the the one to kill him but he was tipped off by Maya's boss Maya's boss is the one who wanted him dead later belova reaches out to Kate again though they don't see eye to eye on Clint Barton Bova has a soft spot for the girl and thought she should know something belova did a little snooping to find out who hired her to kill Barton it was Eleanor Kate's own mother Kate shows Clint a video that y Elena shared with her showing her mother meeting with someone and Clint tells her who it is Wilson Fisk the Kingpin things start to make sense when Kate's father died he left a massive debt to Fisk which Eleanor had to pay off which she did by working for him the other day when Armen seemed to be threatening her it's because he knew she was connected to the Mob and didn't want her marrying his nephew she killed him for his suspicions and when she saw clinch sniffing around their business and getting her daughter involved she called one of her contacts Valentina algra de Fontaine and she recruited the ex- Black Widow yena to kill him the other thing the video shows is that by now Eleanor's debt is paid and she told the king pinch she quitting but she also threatened him saying she has copies of everything as insurance against him he did not take kindly to that which means Kate's mom is in danger Kate intends on saving her and tells Clint he should go home to be with his family but he refuses they're Partners your mess is my mess he says I'm not going anywhere until this is finished Christmas Eve arrives and they crash the bishop Christmas party the tracksuit Mafia targets Elenor but Kate protects her mother while Clint takes on Elena Clint tries not to fight the ex- black widow instead trying to explain what happened how Natasha made her choice even though he tried to stop her how she sacrificed her life to save the world eventually his words get through to her he tells her how Natasha spoke of her often and gives El Elena a modum of closure finally she stands down meanwhile Kate protecting her mom turns into Kate fighting the Kingpin one-on-one and somehow he seems to have obtained some enhancements making him stronger than any man should be but some explosive arrows finally incapacitate him and later when he stumbles into a back alley he runs into a girl he'd always treated like family save for killing her father Mya Lopez but she knows what he did so she puts a couple of bullets in him as retribution in the aftermath Eleanor Bishop is arrested but Kate Bishop's Christmas isn't entirely ruined on Christmas Day Clint brings her home to spend the day with his family and he shows his wife Laura that on top of everything else he managed to track down that Rolex one that she wore years ago as a shield agent finally Kate tries to come up with a superhero name for herself and Clint suggests Hawkeye in La Jennifer Walters continues working as a lawyer while keeping her Hulk side secret only Nikki her pargal and friend knows the truth but all that changes when superpowered influencer Titania attacks a courtroom forcing Jennifer to quick transform to protect the bystanders the day is saved and Jennifer is outed as a Hulk thanks to an off-hand remark by a journalist reporting on the incident she becomes known as She-Hulk unfortunately her Law Firm now sees her as a liability and she's fired applying at other firms she finds they all feel the same way she's a sideshow and a distraction but one firm GLK and H offers her a job heading up their super human law division their only stipulation is that she remain in Hulk form when she's on the job Jennifer reluctantly accepts though it begins a trend of the world preferring She-Hulk to just Jen one of her jobs involves defending Emil blansky or the Abomination she hesitates until she hears his story when he pursued the Hulk 15 years ago he thought he was doing the right thing on orders of the US government they gave him the the super soldier serum which turned him mad and ultimately into the Abomination it wasn't his fault he shows remorse and he's since gained control of his Abomination form the only Wrinkle In the case is that he was caught escaping from prison a few months ago to fight in an underground Club run by Shang Chi's sister but Wong comes forth as a witness to admit he broke him out against blansky's wishes because he needed a formidable opponent and ultimately BL did choose to come back to prison with his testimony blansky wins parole that same year gift shop worker and Egyptian mythology offici andado Steven Grant has a problem he shares a body with a mercenary named Mark Spectre sometimes Steven will black out and without his knowledge this other persona takes over and this other persona happens to be an avatar for konu the Egyptian god of the moon in the night sky serving as the K's moonight Mark seeks out and kills Those who commit evil but some Gods aren't as patient the goddess Amit believed in judging people not just on their past but their future too in her eyes if someone has done no wrong but she determines they will transgress in the future that person deserves death and judgment today for this dangerous approach Amit was imprisoned by the other gods but kon's previous Avatar Arthur Harrow believes in her cause he and his followers Channel her power to judge a person's past and future those whose scales are imbalanced die immediately however Harrow is not content to go door too judging one person at a time instead he seeks Amit usapi the small figurine in which she is imprisoned so he can free the goddess and judge the entire world Steven Grant has no idea that when he blacks out Mark Spectre is hard at work trying to stop Harrow though Worlds Collide when Harrow spots Steven and uses amit's power to judge him but the results are chaotic and inconclusive regardless he demands step hand over the Scarab of Amit an artifact Mark got his hands on which acts as a compass pointing to amit's usap but the mark Persona takes over to kill Harrow's men and Escape things get even more Awkward for the confused used and slightly terrified Steven when Mark's wife Leila shows up and she's confused why her husband suddenly has a British accent seemingly has no idea who she is and is Meek compared to her husband's usual mercenary self things slowly start to make sense as Mark communicates with Steven through Reflections though it takes time for Steven to trust his murderous half and for the moment is intent on keeping the body to himself but soon time runs out because Harrow manages to capture him Leila tries to rescue him but Harrow uses amit's power to summon jackals monsters out of Egyptian mythology and send them after her and Steven Lea tells him to summon the suit something Mark could do Conjuring his moonnight armor Steven however has no idea what that means but In the Heat of battle reflexes kick in and he does summon the suit though he takes it a bit literally he ends up looking less like an Egyptian superhero and more like an Egyptian James Bond it does help and provide protection but he still isn't a skilled fighter so he finally gives control to Mark who defeats the Jackal unfortunately Harrow managed to grab the Scarab meaning he's now on his way to Omit in the days that follow Mark desperately interrogates anyone connected to Harrow that he can get his hands on but no matter who he hurts or kills they are a zealous Bunch willing to die for the cause instead of giving up any information so konu plays a dangerous card he calls on the other gods for a trial of Harrow but they don't trust konu he was previously banished for his continued interaction with the human world something the other gods leave solely to their avatars and kon's current Avatar is clearly troubled considering his mind is fractured between two personas so when Harrow denies the claim that he's trying to resurrect Amit the gods believe him after the failed trial another Avatar approaches Mark and confides in him she believes him and tells him how he can find amit's tomb before Harrow centuries ago a man named senu recorded its location his sarcophagus was sold on the black market but if they can find it they'll find what he wrote so they get to work Leila and Mark fight their way to the Circ agus and Steven decodes what they find a star map which will point to the tomb only problem is that stars drift over time and this map was recorded 2,000 years ago so konu plays another dangerous card he reverts the night sky to its position from 2,000 years ago and it works the map lines up and they pinpoint the tomb's location but manipulating the skies is a transgression which gets konu locked in his own usop by the time they reach the tomb so have Harrow and his followers and when Harrow comes face to face with Leila he reveals something he learned when testing Mark for judgment Mark had something to do with her father's death and Mark finally admits the truth 10 years ago he and some mercenaries run a mission with archaeologists in Egypt but his leader Raul Bushman got greedy he killed everyone including Lea's father to keep the treasures for for himself he shot Mark too and as he was bleeding to death he prepared to take his own life until konu offered to make him his Avatar after that he and Lila only met because Mark found her to tell her what happened to her father but instead he fell in love and never got to that part soon it's all moot because Harrow finally manages to best Mark shooting him in the chest twice and killing him he and Steven wake up in the realm of datat the Egyptian underworld where the goddess toet informs them that to balance their scale and pass on to the field of reads A heaven-like afterlife they must reconcile with their past traversing the memories stevenh finally learns who he really is he sees Mark as a child playing with his brother in a cave but the rain comes and his brother drowns he sees that Mark's mother blamed him for it and she never stopped blaming him she would beat Mark and scream at him finally to escape the nightmare Mark's mind created an alternate personality based on his favorite character from the movie tomb Buster a British character named Steven Grant years passed and once Mark left home he no longer needed an alternate personality to Shield him from reality but once his mother died the pain returned and so did Steven meanwhile toed communicates with Lila telling her to free konchu and in doing so resurrect Mark and Steven she manages to do exactly that but before Mark becomes kon's Avatar again and return to life he negotiates only agreeing on the condition that konu will free him and Steven once they're done he doesn't want to be a killer anymore konu agrees and he lives again just as Harrow finally frees Amit for the battle ahead Leila allows herself to temporarily become tet's Avatar joining moonight in the fight against Harrow Amit begins extracting Souls who fail her judgment and with each the goddess grows stronger but they managed to cast a spell trapping Amit in Harrow's body now they can kill him and the goddess will die too but Mark refuses he is done killing instead Harrow ends up in an institution the thing is Mark has no idea just how fractured his mind has become hu may have freed him and Steven but he hasn't freed their other persona Jake lley and Jake has no qualms about killing meanwhile as wakanda's king tchala himself rests in the ancestral plain his mother Queen Randa is left to rule in his place in the years since his passing the world's taken advantage of wakanda's perceived vulnerability and press them to share their vibranium Randa refuses so they tried to take it by force and the Dora malaj sto them growing desperate people search the Earth for more maybe wakanda isn't the only place where vibranium landed the CIA somehow get their hands on a vibranium detecting tool and they do find vibranium under the ocean the only problem it belongs to talocan and neyar does not want his people discovered they kill the entire search party the US government blames wakanda for the attack after all who else would so vehemently protect vibranium meanwhile neyar pays wakanda a visit personally traveling underwater to bypass their security he blames them for jeopardizing Talan the only reason they were almost found is because the world so desperately searches for vibranium and the reason they search is because wakanda showed the world the wonders of vibranium he gives them a choice find and deliver him the scientist who created the vibranium detector or face the wrath of his people AO heads to America to find the scientist and against randa's wishes sh joins her there they find their old friend Everett Ross the CIA agent owes them a favor after Sher saved his life so he reveals to them the identity of the vibranium detector's Creator Riri Williams a 19-year-old Prodigy at MIT they they find the girl but before they can leave for wakanda authorities catch wi that the wakandans are in town still blaming them for the attack on their search party they dispatch the FBI Williams reveals that in addition to the vibranium detector she built as a school project she also built herself a homemade Iron Man style armor using it she works with Shu and oo to evade the authorities but soon that's the least of their problems because they come face to face with Neymar's people and even for the leader of the Dora malaj they are formidable despite toco's efforts Riri and Shu are both taken and Deco returns to wakanda empty-handed and for losing her daughter Randa strips AO of her title instead she seeks out ex-war doog Nakia who's been living in Haiti with her experience in the outside world Randa figures nakia's better suited for the job of rescuing her daughter meanwhile shu is brought to the underwater city of tallan where she starts to see their people as people not just her enemy neyar tells the story of his mother eating the plant which Grew From underwater vibranium and how he was born a mutant he tries to make her understand why Riri needs to Die the world needs to see that searching for vibranium is dangerous so so he can keep his people safe but that is just the beginning neyar now sees that defense will only take you so far with the power of vibranium he will soon go on offense to show the world his true might and then rule it when he conquers the world he'd like wakanda at his side but if they get in his way they'll fall like the rest soon Nakia arrives to free shuri and Riri killing some of Neymar's people in the process which Shri knows is as good as declaring war and it doesn't take long for that war to come neyar leads a fraction of his forces into wakanda but it's enough to kill many including Queen Randa shuri and wakanda mourn another loss mbaku sees the rage in their new Queen Shu and recommends against killing neyar his people see him not just as a King but a god his death would invite generations of war between their peoples but ultimately it's her call she and Riri get to work preparing for the battle ahead and Shu has a realization neyar gave her a bracelet whose fibers Grew From vibranium rich soil the same sort of soil heart-shaped herb Grew From using data from those fibers she reworks the formula and finally synthesizes the heart-shaped herb using it she has granted the powers of the Black Panther and she visits the astral plane where she's greeted by someone unexpected kilmonger it's a surprise to Sheri but with her current thirst for revenge on neyar kilmonger is a kindred spirit revenge is something that defined much of his life returning to the Mortal plane Shu accepts the mantle of Black Panther in preparation for the battle ahead she upgrades riri's iron heart armor and provides the Dora malaj including AO with new suits she calls the midnight angels and working with Riri she develops a secret weapon against Neymar a way to heat his body and deprive it of oxygen in the final battle their plan works Shu manages to best namey more in combat but before striking him down she remembers tala and she decides to follow in his footsteps rather than kilmonger she spares Neymar's life and seeing her mercy he is finally willing to listen she proposes a truce Riri lives and talak stands down but wakanda will work to protect them and keep them hidden neyar agrees and the armies finally stand down after the battle shui visits Nakia in Haiti there she discovers that Nakia and tala had a child in secret a son they named tala meanwhile Everett Ross is in trouble for helping the wakandans outside the government's peer viiew his ex-wife Valentina algra de Fontaine has him arrested but it's only a short time before AO breaks him out in Oklahoma Maya Lopez returns home it's been a few months since she put a bullet in kingpin's head but even if he's dead her revenge is incomplete she still wants to take his Empire and she has a plan to do it in her hometown her Uncle Henry still works for fisk's organization running shipments she asks his help but he refuses he will not start a gang war that risks hurting people in town his family and friends some of whom happen to be Maya's

warns against it he knows what it is to work for Fisk Henry is alone because Kingpin took everyone away from him after Kingpin killed his brother maa's father Henry tried to quit but Kingpin

prayers the god laughs but near them is the recently defeated Dark Shadow Lord who wielded the necro sword one of the few weapons capable of killing a God and now that weapon calls to gore it lends its power allowing Gore to kill rapu and make this vow all gods will die in La Jennifer Walters aside from her new job has been facing another challenge dating in her 30s on Nikki's recommendation she makes a dating profile under the She-Hulk Persona she gets plenty of matches but also finds most of the guys more interested in the green monster than Jennifer Walters one date in particular is soured when Todd Phelps refers to her as a specimen though when an old high school friend invites Jen to her wedding she decides to embrace and even flaunt her She-Hulk form something especially possible thanks to some leg work by Nikki who found Luke Jacobson a costume designer for superheroes whose Taylor made her a wardrobe suiting both Jen and She-Hulk at the wedding Jen has another runin with Titania forcing her to Hulk smash the villain and she meets Josh the two quickly hit it off especially when he seems more interested in her than shehulk a few dates later they indulge in a different sort of Hulk smashing sorry for that awful pun but I couldn't help myself and also sorry for breaking from my narrator character but hey hey if Jen can break the fourth wall so can I and expect more of that when Deadpool joins the timeline the next morning Josh is gone he doesn't respond to her text so she waits the next day and the day after that but soon it's clear she's been ghosted and she finds emotional support in the most unexpected of places Sunday morning she gets a call from blansky's parole officer apparently his inhibitor was off meaning it's possible he illegally took Abomination form she accompanies the officer to blansky's new home a large Meditation Retreat he's opened and they find it was just a malfunction he's still human and still reformed but Jen can't leave quite yet because manb working out some of his aggression accidentally destroys her car and the tow truck won't arrive for a few hours so she reluctantly joins a therapy session and surrounded by villain wannab's attempting to reform she actually finds some catharsis because they make it clear they appreciate Jennifer Walters for Jennifer Walters She-Hulk aside meanwhile trouble bruise Nikki and close friend pug discover intelligencia a website filled with haters saying awful things about She-Hulk and even threatening her all under the guidance of a leader who calls himself Hulk King and in the days that follow Walters is assigned to represent LeapFrog since he's the son of an important client his superhero suit malfunctioned leading to third degree burns and he'd like to sue the tailor Luke Jacobson Jennifer does her best to be gentle but Luke immediately turns on her and with that she's lost her source of fashionable and useful clothing and she loses the case too because Luke is represented by one of his clients Matt Murdoch for whom he's recently designed a new yellow suit Matt makes a strong case and smells the jet fuel on Leap Frog something Luke instructed the wannabe hero not to use thus it's proven that Lea Frog's burns are his own fault Murdoch wins the case afterward he and Jennifer hit it off at a bar and later when Lea frog calls for help and She-Hulk comes to the rescue she finds him pursued by Matt Murdoch's superhero alter go Daredevil but Matt quickly clarifies that LeapFrog is the bad guy here he kidnapped Luke so he'd make him a new suit under duress so She-Hulk has her first superhero team up working with Daredevil they take Leap Frog down and for rescuing him she's welcomed back into Luke's good graces and with the adrenaline wearing off Jan and Matt get to know each other he's heading back to New York tomorrow but offers that next time he he's in town maybe he could buy her dinner she has a counter proposal skip all that and he comes back to her place tonight when Nikki finds a devil walking home Barefoot the next morning it tells her everything she needs to know that night Jen accepts an award at a Gala for female lawyers but her reputation is in danger because her speech is interrupted by the intelligencia Apparently Josh is one of them and he used his night with Jennifer to hack her phone now all the private information they found on her phone is projected in front of the crowd and he secretly filmed their intimate night together they play that too and they try to publicly shame her for it Jennifer doesn't take it well she hulks out and Strikes Back then wakes up in a Cell they were wrong for their attempted humiliation but nevertheless the authorities are now concerned that she can't control her Hulk form they release her without charges but only on the condition she now wears an inhibitor prohibiting her from ever being She-Hulk again feeling lost she heads back to blansky's retreat while Nikki and pug infiltrate an intelligencia event which happens to be occurring at that very Retreat apparently blansky has been giving them talks as Abomination and Todd Phelps Walter's bad date who called her a specimen reveals himself as the Hulk King and he reveals they managed to steal some of her blood and synthesize it into a serum which turns him into a Hulk also Titania is there and also Hulk has just returned from whatever business he had on sakar honestly it's all a bit much to cram into the climax so Jennifer exits her show to have a word with the guy in charge of the MCU Kevin but she finds Kevin is not a man it's an AI the knowledge enhanced visual interconnectivity Nexus she makes some suggestions for the show's ending lose the stupid plot about Todd making a Hulk serum have Emil blansky take responsibility for his actions and Nick's Hulk's last minute entrance also bring back Murdoch back in the show Walters enjoys a more emotionally cathartic ending she's learned to live as both Jen and She-Hulk plus she gets to spend a week hanging out with Matt Murdoch though despite the rewrites Hulk does make a surprise entrance at their family dinner to introduce a son he apparently had on sakar a son named Scar in The Following days she's cleared of all charges and allowed to be She-Hulk again also once again Wong breaks blansky out of jail in New Jersey

cosplay of her favorite hero Captain Marvel Bruno helps pull it together all that's left is a personal touch He suggests something Pakistani to bring a little of her to the costume back home She

Kamala to project light which takes solid form and weight she's the highlight of the night but remains Anonymous behind her mask and keeps her identity secret nonetheless the discovery of superpowers is a major boost to her confidence and so is Camron the new kid Kamala likes him and it quickly becomes clear her interest is mutual but she soon learns the bangal her powers and Camron are all connected his mother najma is from the Nord Dimension but was exiled along with kamala's great-grandmother Aisha and a few others collectively they're known as the clandestines outside her home Dimension najma's access to the power of no is limited it's enough to slow her aging process but not enough to actually return home however Cala inherited the same power from her great grandmother mother and because she was actually born in this Dimension her powers are likely stronger strong enough to take them home there's just one problem Bruno does Kamala a favor and looks into some research from Dr Eric Selvig on the Nord Dimension what he learns is disturbing if they were to open a rift the Nord Dimension May overtake their own and destroy it it's too dangerous Cala cannot open a portal for them but soon najima makes it clear she is not asking a favor she is demanding one when Cala refuses to comply she and the clandestines attack during her brother's wedding Camron is disgusted by his mother's actions ins size with Kamala ultimately using her powers to fight them off and protect her family Kamala Escapes in the midst of it all she has a vision of a train the same train her grandmother SAA took during the partition meanwhile najma and the other clandestines are arrested by the department of damage control despite betraying his mother and disagreeing with the violence Camron is also arrested afterward Kamala speaks with her grandmother and Sana reveals she had the same vision of that train so she invites Kamala to Pakistan where they can finally discuss her family history in the following days she and her mother fly over there Kamala speaks with saana who tells a story Cala has heard many times before how during the partition saana became separated from her father until a trail of stars led her back to him then Cala meets some of her cousins and runs into the red dagger the red dagger is a title that's been passed down over the generations at one point a man named wed held it and now his son Kareem does their job is to protect people from threats unseen like the clandestines right now their hope is to stop them from opening the veil Between Worlds and potentially destroying this one soon that threat arrives the clandestines Escape dodc custody though for his betrayal najma leaves her son camran behind they reach Pakistan and attack while Leed is killed and when kamala's bangal is struck she is transported back in time to 1947 where Aisha hands her a picture of her family and begs her to help SAA so Cala creates a trail of stars leading the girl back to her father finally learning that in that story she's heard so many times before it was Cala herself who created those magic Stars returning to the present she sees the burst of energy from the Bengal didn't just send her back in time it also opened a rift to the nor Dimension and it proves just as dangerous as they feared killing one of najma's friends despite the risk najima prepares to enter it herself until Kamala calls to her even if she successfully crosses over to the Nord Dimension she'll leave this one to be destroyed killing her son Camron along with it she already ruined one family by killing Aisha Cala begs her not to destroy her own you're right najma replies and she enters the portal but not to return home instead she sacrifices herself to close the rift from within as the rift closes power seems to Surge from it into Camron giving him Powers similar to kamala's just then kamala's mother and grandmother find her having tracked her phone's location and they arriv just in time to witness the portal closing at the sight of the magical display Cala is finally forced to admit to her mother that she has these powers and she gives saana the photo of her with Aisha and Hassan returning home kamala's mother accepts the path her daughter is on even making her a new costume for her yet to be named superhero Persona and it's good timing because right now Camron could use a superhero having escaped the dodc he's now on the run with Nakia and Bruno's help but it's only a matter of time before they're captured so Cala Dons her costume and joins them she also calls the red dagger to ask a favor she knows they work in the shadows and asks if they have a way to get Camron out of the country they're soon surrounded by dodc intentions rise when Camron manifests nor powers as well Powers which he wields with a Vengeance after learning his mother is dead but when he loses control Cala uses her powers to contain his while protecting them from the dodc she buys enough time for him to escape to the harbor where someone from the red daggers will smuggle him to Pakistan once he's gone and Kamala is left alone her family friends and other bystanders surround her creating a barricade to stop the dodc who have clearly mistaken a hero for a villain in the aftermath the agent in charge dver is fired for her public blunder while Kamala currently known as the hero NightLight to the public Trends on Tik Tok enjoying the accolades she joins her father on the roof for a heart-to-heart he tells her how proud he is and asks what her superhero name is going to be she isn't sure yet so he tells her about the name Cala how it translates to the word Wonder or Marvel Kamala can't believe it she shares a name with Carol Danvers her favorite hero hero of all time I don't know who that is her father replies but you sure are and always have been our little Miss Marvel a week later Bruno shares with Cala something he learned about her when researching no and her powers looking at kamala's DNA in addition to her nor genes there was something else too something the others in her family don't have some kind of mutation they don't know it yet but this is the same mutation which in other worlds has led to the X-Men elsewhere Thor continues his travels with the Guardians of the Galaxy chasing one Adventure after another though it's clear he's overstayed his welcome and when they hear word of Gore the god butcher quill is happy to part ways as Thor leaves to investigate and while Thor seeks Adventure Jane Foster reaches the end of her own She was recently diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and her time is quickly running out when she reaches the limits of human medicine she turns to Asgardian magic in new Asgard she finds the pieces of mner and the broken Hammer remembers a promise it made years ago to always protect her now it keeps that promise by lending its power and turning her into the Mighty Thor soon Gore continues his quest to kill all gods by visiting new as guard Thor arrives to defend the kingdom but so does Jane Foster which makes for an awkward reunion the two set their feelings aside long enough to fight the battle and though they survive Gore escapes with a cage of Asgardian children among them is heimdall's son Axel who shares his father's gift for long-distance sight and communication Thor reaches out to the boy and locates them in the shadow realm a dangerous place so before they head after the children Thor Jane Valkyrie and corg seek reinforcements they head to omnipotent city where the likes of Hercules and Zeus reside but there all they find are cowardly Gods who would rather hide in their palaces than fight a god killer the city is a dead end though Zeus does reveal Gore's next move he will try to reach eternity a powerful being at the center of the universe who will grant the desire of the first person who reaches him with no help to be found in the decadent City Thor and company instead steal Zeus's Thunderbolt then head for the shadow realm themselves on the way Thor and Jane take in the sight of galaxies stars and space Dolphins then finally address their feelings both admit they closed their hearts to avoid the pain of loss but in truth they want to be together except Jane has cancer something she finally admits to Thor it's a heartbreaking revelation but does not change Thor's desire to be with her for whatever time life affords them they reach the shadow realm and in the ensuing fight learn that Gore can't reach eternity without the key which is the bifrost something accessible through Stormbreaker it must be kept out of his hands but he and his army of Shadow monsters are formidable Valkyrie is hurt and so is Jane they rush home and in that Rush Gore manages to grab the axe now he has access to the bifrost and the key in the hospital Valkyrie is taken into treatment and Jane learns that her body is failing to fight the cancer every time she uses mner it saps her mortal energy and leaves her vulnerable to the disease so Thor makes a promise not to wield it again he will save the children himself he finds Gore at the center of the universe and lends the children some of his power so they can fight with him but still he finds himself in need of an ally and at that moment Mighty Thor appears he's happy to see her but also knows it'll likely be the last time with mner sapping her energy she'll soon have none left but with the little that remains she fights and together they destroy the necro sword without it Gore will die but first he steps through the portal and finds eternity he prepares to make his wish as Thor rushes to Jane's side G Thor watches the God of Thunder Choose Love and Thor reminds him that he can do the same you can bring her back he says she would have no one Gore says she would be alone and with her dying words Jane convinces him otherwise she won't be alone knowing Thor will care for his daughter Gore makes his wish and just before dying himself sees his daughter returned to life Thor after losing every loved one he's ever known now for the first time gains one he raises Gore's daughter as his own and even fights alongside her in battle she wields Stormbreaker And he mner as they travel the galaxies providing Aid wherever it's needed they're known by many names but to those who know them best they are simply known as love and thunder meanwhile in omnipotent City Zeus recovers from his wounds and sends his son Hercules to get revenge on on Thor and elsewhere Jane Foster learns it's true what they say when in Asgardian dies in battle they are welcomed into the gates of Valhalla she appears in the land of gods and Heimdall is there to welcome her elear the patriarch of the Bloodstone family dies meaning the family weapon the Bloodstone itself must be passed on to a new owner per ulyses Wishes Monster Hunters from around the world are gathered gaed The Blood Stone is a fix to a monster weakening it but also making it Angry the monster is let loose in a maze and so are the hunters whoever kills it gets the stone but the hunters don't realize there is a monster among them Jack a werewolf currently in human form also among the hunters is Elsa ul's a strange daughter though she gets no special treatment from her stepmother vusa who organizes the hunt Elsa left the family long ago and vusa never forgave her for it during the hunt Elsa and Jack make a deal if she helps Jack free the monster who happens to be his friend he will give her the stone they succeed and Jack's friend Ted also known as man thing escapes but when Jack tries to grab the stone it rejects him revealing to the hunters that he himself is a monster which is convenient because with man thing gone they need a new monster to hunt although the next full moon is 5 days away using the Bloodstone they can turn jack into a werewolf tonight he warns them it's too dangerous and offers they can hunt him in human form anything to ensure he doesn't hurt anyone especially Elsa before turning he quickly takes in her scent hoping it'll ensure his monster form recognizes her and when he turns it works the werewolf Slaughters everyone around him but stops when it smells her then the wolf escapes but vusa now has Elsa cornered she prepares to kill her stepdaughter but man thing returns and kills vusa first by morning Elsa has the Bloodstone and Jack returns to human form safely reunited with his friend soon Christmas time approaches and the Guardians of the Galaxy are busy they recently purchased nowhere from The Collector and are hard at work making it livable they're helped by Cosmo a talking psychokinetic dog from the collector's collection most on nowhere have never heard of Christmas but mantis knows it's important to Peter and she heard from kagin what happened the last time Peter tried to celebrate yandu destroyed the tree and scoffed at the idea of handouts she also knows that Peter is still grieving for Gamora so she decides to give him a great Christmas and something to smile about why does she feel it's her responsibility because he's her brother something she's kept from him because she doesn't want him to think about his father who killed his mother every time he looks at her she teams up with draxx and he has the perfect idea for a gift that'll make Peter's Christmas Kevin Bacon as a child of the80s Peter's always loved the actor for foot loose especially from the passionate way Peter's spoken of him over the years mantis and draxx assume he's some kind of world leader but after they abduct him and learn he's an actor they're both disgusted Peter was just a kid when he left Earth his memory is probably all screwed up mantis surmises so she transes Kevin to be a heroic Virgin of himself back on nowhere they surprised Peter with a grand Christmas display and and Kevin Bacon Peter is excited then shocked at their human trafficking and tells them to free the actor from mantis's trance Kevin of course freaks out but once he calms down and they prepare to take him home he learns just how much he's meant to Peter over the years so he decides he can stay a little longer to give Peter a Christmas to remember performing a rendition of here it is Christmas time while everyone exchanges gifts Peter gives Groot a Game Boy and nebula gives rocket Bucky's arm Peter asks mantis why they went to such trouble for him she explains how they heard about yandu ruining Christmas but Peter reveals the rest of the story how yandu found their gifts in the trash including one for him a small creature figurine the sort he will go on to spend years collecting and with yondu's heart warmed he gave Peter a gift too his first quad blasters finally mantis gives Peter the greatest gift he could ever get she reveals that she's his sister and suddenly Peter realizes he still has some family left in the quantum realm Kang has been busy amassing a robotic Army burning down homes and building a citadel on the bones of the people who live in the subatomic world but still he is trapped there until now Scott Lang's daughter Cassie has become interested in the quantum realm and built a satellite to explore it when she turns it on it signals discovered by Kang's Hunter modok and they open a portal which pulls Cassie Scott Janet Hank and hope into the quantum realm along with Hank's latest experiment ants with augmented intelligence in the subatomic reality Scott and Cassie are separated from the others and find themselves among Quantum realm refugees displaced by Kang led by a warrior named gentur but they're quickly captured by modok and brought to Kang who has a proposal he needs to get out of the quantum realm because he's the only one who can stop what's coming at the End of Time him many variants of him but to get out he needs someone to enter the blown up energy core and shrink it back down to size using pin particles a task Scott Lang is well suited for Kang's offer is this get me the core or I kill your daughter in front of you and force you to relive the moment again and again in time endlessly Scott resists until he sees his daughter in pain inside the core Scott is quickly lost inside a probability storm where all possibilities of himself exist simultaneously he drowns in a pile of Scott Langs until they hear Cassie's voice calling him to come back and now the many Scots become focused on that one goal they lift Scott to the energy core he throws a Pim disc and nothing he falls until hope rescues him together they throw more discs and more pin particles enough to finally shrink the energy core since they were separated Hank hope and Janet have been on a journey of their own they met an old friend of Janet's who has since turned to K side a fight ensued they stole his ship and then came for the energy Corps along the way Janet told them everything about Kang and how they must keep the core out of his hands and now that it's been shrunk down Kang takes it from them of course they resist but he easily flicks away Scott and hope modok takes down the ship with Hank on it and the Conqueror leaves with Janet at his Citadel he tells her why he conquers how his variants will play with time like children and as a result destroy the Multiverse only he can defeat beat them but Janet sees the truth he just wants revenge against the variants that beat him and in the process he'll end so many timelines effectively murdering trillions of people it all begins today with the energy Corps back in hand Kang can Ascend with his army out of the quantum realm but it won't be as easy as he thinks Cassie escapes her prison and frees gentur and they go on to free the other prisoners recruiting them to a rebellion meanwhile Hank is reunited with his intelligent ants when they fell into the quantum realm the ants apparently hit a time dilation allowing them to live thousands of years in just a day advancing their knowledge and Technology tremendously they find Hank then Hank finds hope and Scott with help from one giant Scott one giant Cassie and an army of intelligent now technologically advanced ants the Freedom Fighters finally launch a counter offensive and overpower the Conqueror even modok fights for them after Cassie gives him some Sage advice namely don't be a dick though he sacrifices what's left of his life in the process Kang's Army is defeated the quantum people are freed and the heroes prepare to return home one by one they enter the portal when only Cassie and Scott are left Kang appears Scott pushes his daughter through the portal and stays behind to stop Kang the Conqueror Scott offset Scott for thinking he can win but Kang misunderstands I don't have to win Scott tells him we both just have to lose Ant-Man turns himself into a human shield taking a near fatal beating to stop him from entering the portal Kang's Victory is all but assured until hope returns together they knock Kang into the damaged energy core and he sucked into it seemingly defeated the portal closes but Cassie is able to bring Scott and hope home using her Quantum Tech in the coming days Scott enjoys his return to normal-sized reality though he's disturbed by Kang's warning about his variance coming at the end of time and Scott is right to worry some of those variants meet to discuss the conqueror's death he was killed by one of Earth's Heroes they're beginning to touch the Multiverse IM Morse a Kang variant explains and if we let them they will take everything built to ensure they don't he has called a council of Kang variants including every single one of them elsewhere the high evolutionary searches for a specimen he lost years earlier subject 89p13 a raccoon who now goes by the name rocket and resides on nowhere the Guardians of the Galaxy HQ the mad scientist has one of his Creations The Sovereign send their new weapon to retrieve the raccoon a powerful being with the mind of a child named Adam he attacks the Guardians manage to fend him off but rocket is hurt badly and when they apply a med pack it only makes things worse someone put a kill switch inside him to protect their proprietary design using a med pack or poking around would kill rocket but if they do nothing he'll succumb to his injuries giving them about 48 hours to figure something out before he dies Peter is especially intent on saving his friend because he was drunk when Adam attacked trying to forget his grief for Gamora if he hadn't been maybe he could have helped and his last words to Rocket were insults he was angry the raccoon had once again taken his Zoom without permission to save Rocket's life they need an override code to stop the kill switch and their only lead is the name of the company they found inside rocket orgo Corp the high evolutionaries front for illegal experiment ation it'll be difficult to break in but nebula has a contact in the ravagers who can help her sister gamor the one who came from another timeline with Thanos the one who never joined the guardians or fell in love with Peter Quill who is still grieving for his gamor and yandu and his mother Peter has come to believe that everyone he loves will leave mantis reminds him that he did the same when Peter lost his mother his grandfather lost a daughter and and he may still be alive on Earth yet Peter has never gone to see him now this other gamor who sees Peter as a stranger guides them into orgo corpse HQ in a quiet moment Peter tries to warm up to her but to Gora it's just pressure to be someone she never was she makes it clear whatever gamor was to him is something she will never be inside the HQ they find Rocket's file but not the key it was taken by the high evolutionaries recorder and stored in a computer on his head and they know where to find him because the high evolutionaries coordinates were left in the file an obvious trap gamorra points out but Peter explains it's not a trap if you know it's a trap it's a Faceoff it becomes clear to Gamora that when it comes to saving their friends the Guardians aren't big on hesitation even if it means going toe-to-toe with a man some corners of the universe consider God meanwhile the high evolutionary is displeased with Adam and the sovereign's failure to capture 89p13 he threatens to end their species if they fail again eager to please their Master The High Priestess interrogates a captured ravager she asks Adam to show the ravager they mean business which he slightly misinterprets as he incinerates the man leaving only a smoldering corpse and his small pet behind a pet which now looks sad which makes Adam feel sad an unfamiliar and unpleasant sensation the interrogation is a failure but gamor calls the ravager for help not knowing he's dead and the high priestess answers in his stad gorah gives them her coordinates inadvertently giving away the guardian's location giving Adam and the new pet he's decided to keep one more shot at pleasing the high evolutionary the Guardians arrive on counterar the world designed by the High evolutionary based on his visit to Earth in the80s while the others get to work gamor stays on the ship and when Adam comes looking for Rocket she can't help but protect him meanwhile Peter and groot's Face Off is going well they fend off the high evolutionary and his guards kill the recorder and rip the computer from his head but they have to get off Planet fast because although the high evolutionaries experiments have come a long way his Utopia is still still a far-off dream counterar has become rampant with the same violence that pervades Earth so he's initiated self-destruction as explosions blanket the planet Adam worries for his mother and flies after her but he's too late she is killed and he is incapacitated Drax mantis and nebula break into the high evolutionary ship to free Peter and Groot unaware they've already escaped joining gamor on their own ship with they use the pass key to override Rocket's programming and save his life the friends Embrace and Gamora can't help but smile but there's little time to celebrate the high evolutionary reaches out with a demand bring me the raccoon or your friends die he throws nebula draxx and mantis in a Cell where they're surrounded by star children the latest product of his experiments meanwhile Peter calls for help asking kagin to fly nowhere over and a hole in the villain's ship worried the children will get caught in the explosion nebula and mantis try telling them to avoid the starboard wall but they don't know the children's language draxx on the other hand does first he calms the frightened children using the same tricks his late daughter enjoyed many years ago then he gives the instruction and Fila leads the way in letting the others know nowhere fires its shots in the high evolutionary responds dropping nebula draxx and mantis into a pit where they face three massive obelisks but mantis realizes they are not hostile creatures they're just scared she approaches meanwhile as nowhere approaches from one side Peter rocket and gamor attack from the other Adam recovers from his injuries and makes one last attempt on the Raccoon so Peter crashes the ship with him on it and sets it to self-destruct while Adam blows up they look for their friends who they find riding the now friendly obelisks reunited the Guardians could leave now as gomorah suggests or they could go back and free all the innocent lives trapped on the high evolutionary's ship they connect nowhere to the fresh hole on the side of the ship aligning them with Cosmo's help and begin evacuating the higher life forms Even Adam why he asks I am Groot his savior responds and Drax translates he says everyone deserves a second chance soon rocket finds the animals and he finds a cage containing raccoons he can't bring himself to leave them behind so they won't be limiting themselves to the higher life forms they'll be rescuing all of them which gives the high evolutionary a chance to catch up it's an easy fight for the man who thinks himself a god until the rest of the Guardians show up and then he's easily defeated the evacuation is complete just as the ship falls apart but Peter has forgotten something his Zoom an artifact from Earth whose music has brought Comfort to him and his friend rocket he runs back for it the ship separates from nowhere so Peter uses the thrust from a loose wire to Traverse the Gap but he stopped by debris the void of space does its work freezing him and killing him but Adam the sovereign's Warlock in his adolescence has learned he doesn't enjoy inflicting pain or sadness he prefers benevolence the sort shown to him by Groot so he learns from the Flora of Colossus and saves Peter flying him to Safety in the aftermath of the battle Peter gathers his friends and tells them he's leaving like mantis suggested he will return to Earth after spending almost 40 years running from it mantis is leaving too after spending her entire life first doing as ego asked and then as the Guardians asked it's time for her to discover what she wants nebula will oversee nowhere with drax's help gamor will return to her new family the ravagers and as for Rocket Raccoon he will oversee the new Guardians of the Galaxy including Groot Adam and his pet kagin Cosmo and Fila Peter heads to Earth though he leaves a small piece of it behind for rocket that Zoom he nearly died getting and soon Peter is welcomed home into his grandfather's open arms and quill isn't the only one who returns to earth after a long absence so does Nick Fury almost 30 years ago he and Carol Danvers made a promise to help the Scrolls find a new home thus far they' failed and some of the Scrolls have become impatient including gravic who remembers Fury's words well you keep your word I'll keep mine as far as gravic is concerned Fury did not keep up his end of the bargain so gravic taken matters into his own hands building a faction of angry Scrolls they displac Taos as their leader and rather than coordinate with humans decide on a new strategy Exterminating them they've kidnapped various officials and important people plac them in pods which keep them in stasis and steal their Memories by borrowing those memories and shape-shifting gravic Scrolls have taken over their lives infiltrating positions of power they've done this so they can manipulate world events and push Humanity toward World War II while humanity is distracted by War the Scrolls will rise up to take power and to help the cause gravic has scientists working on a machine which if provided with DNA from someone with superpowers would allow us scroll to absorb those powers and with an army of super Scrolls gravic takeover of Earth would be easy Maria Hill catches wind of the invasion even learning that Everett Ross is among those who have been replaced by Scrolls so she calls Nick Fury and knowing that gravic is a monster he himself created Fury leaves saber and returns to Earth to clean up his mess their Intel says gravic is planning to bomb Moscow and make it look like an attack by Americans so they move quickly from an old friend Sonia fallsworth of MI6 Fury gets the name of the Arms Dealer gravic is likely working with Fury and Taos pay him a visit but when he turns out to be a scroll a fight ensues and he ends up dead so instead they chase down the scroll he was meeting with before they arrived Gia ts's own daughter who is now working for gravic this is not what your mother would have wanted he tells her and that's how she learns her mother is dead apparently killed by the man she works for gravic she leaves but later ts's words have an effect and she decides to help them stop the attack but despite her help they fail the bombs go off killing over 2,000 people and during the chaos gravic takes the form of Nick Fury gets close to Maria Hill and shoots her dead in the aftermath Fury suspects Taos has not been entirely forthcoming with him and under some light interrogation Taos makes a confession there aren't just some Scrolls hiding on Earth there are about a million of them nearly every scroll remaining is here they haven't been able to find a new home and during the blip Taos thought Fury was gone for good he had to do something the Scrolls needed a home so he decided to make earth their home he kept it a secret but only for now his hope is that at some point humans will accept them and the two species can coexist sharing this planet instead of finding a new one Fury is furious humans can't even coexist with each other of course they'll never accept Scrolls Fury's next meeting doesn't go much better than this one he sits down with Colonel James rhods to sound the alarm and tell him about Scrolls infiltrating positions of power rh's response is to fire Nick Fury and Fury leaves with a suspicion that will soon prove true rhs is a scroll next Fury visits his wife Vara who was left a widow during the blip and after Fury returned she looked forward to their reunion but instead he left to wallo on his space station and now though the two still have feelings for each other it's clear she is working with gravic who has just hatched a scheme to find the traitor in his midst he launches an attack between a nuclear sub in the Royal Navy and a un plane to see which of his people will sabotage it and sure enough Gaia helps Taos and fury stop the attack with the traitor identified gravic shoots her and leaves her for dead only she doesn't die because gravic super scroll machine works and Gaia snuck behind his back to use it on herself one of the powers they've assimilated is extremis which has extraordinary healing capability gravic next assassination attempt also fails he has RADS give Vara the order to kill Fury but they underestimate the remaining love between them there's no Bloodshed at their next meeting only a loving conversation about their time together later gravic makes another assassination attempt this time on the president of the United States riten and taow saves him by sacrificing his own life gravic and the impostor roads move to plan B they convince president RIT that Russia is working with Scrolls and they made the attempt on his life next all they have to do is convince riten to bomb new Scrolls their HQ in Russia not only will bombing Russia spark World War III but the real RADS Ross and others stuck in their pods are being kept in new scris so they'll be killed too When gravic Calls fury it's with substantial leverage give me what I want or I have your president bomb new scross and what gravic wants is the Harvest the DNA Fury had him collect from all the heroes who spilled blood at the Battle of Earth including Carol Danvers with his machine gravic could assimilate their powers and become Unstoppable and fury agrees to hand it over but it's not Fury who arrives for the meeting with gravic it's Gaia disguised as Fury so when gravic activates the machine and assimilates the Avengers Powers so do Gaia the two battle using an array of powers from heroes and villains included in the Harvest and harnessing the power of Carol Danvers Gia avenges both her parents killing gravic with a photon blast then she frees the people from their pods including Ross and Roads meanwhile Sonia and fury get to president riten where they kill the impostor roads and stop the attack on new scross thereby preventing World War II in the aftermath Sonia recruits Gaia to work with her president Ritson addresses the public declaring war on Scrolls and any alien species who dare set foot on Earth Nick Fury admonishes him for the hate he's created Vigilantes will now go out on their own killing whoever they believe to be scroll and he returns to space but this time he won't be alone the cre are willing to start peace talks with Scrolls and Vara is the best Diplomat Fury knows they kiss and leave Earth together back in space things take a strange turn Fury notices an unexpected spike in the jump point system the network of interconnected portals between various points of the universe Monica Rambo who now works for saber investigates a disturbance near the station while Carol Danvers investigates another the cause seems to be unstable jump points that opened but have not fully closed coming into contact with those unstable jump points is when that strange turn happens it causes Rambo and daners to become entangled thanks to their shared light-based powers and they aren't the only ones with light-based powers there is also Kamala Khan aka Miss Marvel the result of the entanglement is that any time they use their powers at the same time they trade places which makes for an awkward reunion Danvers left Monica 30 years ago promising she'd be back but she never returned before they understand what's happening the seemingly spontaneous switching makes for a chaotic time but in that chaos daners finds cre Soldiers by one of the unstable jump points this must be their doing and interrogating one tells daners that Dar Ben is on tarx where some scroll refugees have made a home there darb Ben opens one of those unstable jump points it begins to siphon off their atmosphere and there's no stopping it the three Heroes evacuate who they can and call Valkyrie to find the Scrolls another place to stay then they figure out what darb Ben is up to 30 years ago Danvers destroyed the cre Supreme intelligence without its Guidance the planet devolved into Civil War a war that devastated their Planet h paa blotting out their son and bankrupting them of air and water the shame Carol felt after that responsible for desolating a planet is why she never came back to see Monica she couldn't face her for now she keeps her role in their planet's Devastation to herself now Dar Ben is hoping to revitalize their home World by stealing resources from other planets and she can do it with a Bengal Miss Marvel has won she found the other Danvers knows them as Quantum bands in ancient times the bands were used to create the teleportation network of jump points normally you'd need both to open one instead Dar Ben has been using a cre weapon to overpower her one bangle to open the portals leading to their instability Danvers figures out where she's likely heading next aladana a planet whose surface is 99.7% water and Carol is technically married to the prince making her a Princess Part of a legal arrangement to help out a friend as the trio makes their way to aladana the three practice coordinating their powers and the switching that comes with it soon they work smoothly as a team Cala has dubbed the Marvels they reach the planet before darb Ben and warn them of what's coming which requires a brief song and dance number since the language on this planet is B based on song darb Ben arrives and although they fight she manages to open the jump point the Marvels are forced to flee as emotions run high in the aftermath of their failure to stop her Carol finally admits it was her who ruined their planet and Monica finally understands why she never came home and that's where they have to go next Carol realizes that darb Ben isn't taking resources from just any planets but specifically ones that Carol has called home she isn't just trying to save Hala she's also trying to take revenge so the Marvel's head to Earth where darban intends on stealing the sun's energy in the ensuing fight darban is nearly killed but the Marvels show mercy and even offer a better path Monica suggests Carol can use her powers to reignite holl's Son but darb takes advantage of the LOL in their battle to steal Miss Marvel's bangle now she has both and it's too much power for her to contain it destroys her and rips a hole in SpaceTime an unstable door to another reality as it bleeds into their own they have to find a way to close it and they do Miss Marvel Now wielding both Bangals and Captain Marvel fire their combined energy into Monica who has the power to absorb it now wielding the same amount of energy that was used to open the hole Monica is able to close it but it has to be done from the other side something she failed to mention before executing the plan it works the rift is closed and Monica is gone stranded in another reality in the aftermath Captain Marvel returns to Hala and reignites their son returning to Earth Cala pays Kate Bishop a visit working with Carol and Monica gave her an idea there are a lot of other young Heroes out there maybe they should form a team of their own they could use a Hawkeye and she's heard that Ant-Man has a daughter as for Monica Rambo she wakes up in that other reality to find a version of her mother alive here she's a hero named binary Monica gets another shock when the doctor who checks in on her is a blue Beast a member of this world's X-Men who are the X-Men that's a long story which you can hear all about in my upcoming X-Men timeline stay tuned in the meantime thank you for watching and see you on the next one take
