Cinder's Ultimate Marvel Universe Timeline (1610) - Introduction

Post by Cinder »

I have run a campaign in the Ultimate Marvel Universe, AKA 1610, since 2008. It will be ending soon. It has worked out great for my players, and I thought that people might like to use the resources that I have created. It seems like some people did, because this was one of the more visited settings on the old boards (Not on the level of the Crinoverse or Charles Phipps’ stuff, but reasonably popular) I decided to move it over now that the Atomic Think Tank is gone (luckily I saved this just in case). First, a brief introduction, followed by a table of contents.

INTRODUCTION:

There are many reasons to base a game in the 1610. The most attractive of these is the fact that one has significantly less history to deal with.

The content of the Sourcebook will cover the 1610 beginning with the first issue of Ultimate Spider-Man (hereafter USM) and ends just before the Ultimatum with Ultimate Fantastic Four/X-Men Annual #1. This ends before the Ultimatum. I'll ad the Ultimatum and after when I have time.

The Timeline basically details every significant event that happened, listed in a chronological dated order. As to the dates, they are not exact dates. Exact dates don’t bay and large exist in the source material, but I thoroughly researched the passage of time and applied some logic to it, which I explain somewhat below.

The Plot Hooks section will detail some ideas for adventures based on the happenings in the Timeline.

The Adventures section will be for some adventures that I have created. I have yet to include any, but plan to someday. If time allows, I'll include the Ultimatum and Ultimates 3 as adventures which,in my universe, ended better than they did in the actual comics (IMHO).

The Characters section will be 1610 builds. These will consist of conversions of 1610 characters, original characters, and original imaginings or re-imaginings of Marvel characters that either never had 1610 versions or had poor 1610 versions respectively. They are in 2e, but can be converted pretty easily using other threads on these boards and the official conversion document.

With no further ado . . .

Re: Cinder's Ultimate Marvel Universe Timeline (1610)

Post by Cinder »

TIMELINE NOTE:

The events of the timeline below are an estimate, albeit an obsessive and well researched one, of the events of the Marvel Ultimate Universe. They are based on a reading order someone even more obsessive created.

It cannot be exact, because there are major inconsistencies in the books themselves. For instance, it is never winter, except in Ultimate War. Another example can be found in the Ultimate Spider-man line. The series begins and Doctor Octopus falls into a coma for three (3) months, from issue 4 to issue 14. Let us assume, however unlikely, that the events of issues 15 to 58 take place over one (1) month. In Ultimate Spider-man #59 four (4) months pass. In Ultimate Spider-man #61 two (2) months pass. This means ten months has passed. It also means that the reference in issue #72 claiming that issue #1 took place "nine months ago" must be wrong. This is just one of many that I have tried to reconcile as best as I can.

Also, I have altered the years so the origins of the major players, the X-men, Spider-man, the Ultimates, and the Fantastic Four would take place around 2008. The reason for this was to make the timeline begin around the time when my campaign did. If one wants to use these dates, one can start their campaign a few years in the past. That way, the events of the books will be taking place while you are playing or they can start afterward and use what has come as a history.

One must note that the original timeline ended just before the events of the Ultimatum. I have the rest of the universe (minus the Incursion). The reason for this was that I never expected to get to the Ultimatum, but we kept playing, so I did the timeline for that too. Of course, I ended up writing an adventure that allowed my players to stop the Ultimatum from happening (but it was very specific to my players).

If one wishes the events to have taken place as in the years that they did (i.e. Ultimate Spider-man Issue 1 was published in 2000) subtract six (6) years from any date after 1945. (i.e. the timeline says 2008 it is actually 2002). You can add years too, making 2008 (for instance) 2020.

Further a small portion of the information, like dates of birth, are educated guesses. The dates of birth are mostly based on the appearances, but in many cases the ages of the characters are referred to and are therefore exact. Also one must keep in mind that not only the super technology, but also the mundane technology like cell phones, that exists on these dates in “history” is more advanced than our universe.

Justification and Explanation.

Regarding the content of this timeline, it encompasses the following series and issues:

Ultimate Fantastic Four: 1 – 57
Ultimate Spider-man: 1 – 128
Ultimate X-Men: 1 – 97
Ultimates 1 & 2
Ultimate Origins
Ultimate Daredevil and Elektra
Ultimate Elektra
Ultimate Human
Ultimate Iron Man I & II
Ultimate Nightmare, Secret & Extinction
Ultimate Vision
Ultimate Team-up (1-3; 5-8; 10-16)
Ultimates Annuals 1 and 2
Ultimate X-Men Annuals 1 and 2
Ultimate Captain America Annual 1
Ultimate Fantastic Four Annual 1 and 2
Ultimate Spider-man Annual 1, 2 and 3
Ultimate Six
Ultimate X4 1 and 2
Ultimate War
Ultimate Fantastic Four/X-Men Annual 1 and 2

It ends, as stated above, before the Ultimatum and also does not include the Supreme lines.

Wasp’s age is 26 in 2008. This makes her born in 1982. She met Hank while she was in college. However Pym is shown to be in his teens in 1990 during the gulf war. Therefore they must about eight to ten years apart.

Betty Ross went to college with Wasp, so she is presumably the same age. However Bruce is already at least twenty in 1990, so he is much older than her as her birth date should be about the same year as Wasp: 1982.

The Elektra and Elektra and Daredevil books have internal contradictions. In the first issue of E&D, Elektra’s friend says that she has a class with Matt, but later in Elektra Matt is taking law school classes and has an internship with a law firm. As Matt goes on to represent Banner a few years down the road, it seems that it is more likely that he is in Law School, while Elektra is in undergrad.

The fact of whether humans created Mutants or whether they arose through evolution is a controversial topic in the Ultimate universe. Ultimate Origins introduces the idea that Weapon X program created the mutant gene, but every prior book has the evolution explanation. For instance in Ultimate War, Cap says that Wolverine had a healing factor before he went to Weapon X. I prefer the evolution explanation, but I have left the timeline vague on the subject. One can choose to portray the Canadian scientist, Abraham Cornelius, as “delusional” as Fury referred to him, or you can choose to interpret that this minor character created mutants. Totally up to you. But the “created” gene is stupid. And so are you if you like it. (Kidding.)

Issues 4 and 9 of the Team up series cannot be reconciled with the rest of the timeline. They show versions of the Fantastic Four and Iron Man that cannot co-exist with the later versions.

One of the most controversial (if anybody even cares) things about the outline may be that Peter progresses through high school grades in my version. The writers of Ultimate Spider-man wanted to have the first 72 issues take place over nine months. However at many points they progress several months in contradiction to this. What does their school year look like? They are always in school and never (with one exception) cold. I would have loved to go to a New York school that has no winter, but one that has no summer vacation would have sucked. So I just inferred that Peter is progressing in grades as we go.

There is a conflict between the Ultimate Origins story and the Ultimate Spider-Man canon. Origins seems to portray that Richard and Mary Parker died due to Dr. Banner's transformation into the Hulk; in the Spider-Man canon, it's clearly shown that Peter grew up at least 4-9 years old, before Peter lost his parents in a supposed plane crash. However, it seems to me that the possibility exists that they were merely injured in the Origins story and did not die until years later. While I agree that it certainly appears that they died, it is never stated explicitly allowing for the injury interpretation. This is how it is handled in the Timeline.

Sharon Carter says it is June, in USM 46. But the kids are in school. So June is one of only a few months that it could not be.

In issue 42 we see a flyer for Dazzler’s band. It says February on a flyer. One must assume this is an old flyer or it is unseasonably warm, because the X-men are all wearing t-shirts and shorts in northern New York.

The Wolverine versus Hulk has far too many continuity errors to exist within the regular timeline. In ten pages four months passes. That would be fine if not for the fact that the same period in Ultimates 2 is about two to three weeks. Ultimates 2 was published first and is more crucial to the universe, so I did not include Wolverine versus Hulk. I struggled with it and there is just no way it fits.

In issue 106 the month is April, Peter’s calendar says March, but he has not been to work for about ten days, so he has yet to flip it.

In the Ultimate Knights story arc Mary Jane says she is 16 and Peter claims that it is his sophomore year, but these statements and other ones here are based on the illogical attempts by the writers to claim that everything happened in one year (see above), so I ignored it.

The Ultimate Squadron Supreme lines are not included here. There is no particular reason for this other than simplification. One universe was enough. If one wishes to use a Fury disappearance hook, he should disappear around after or on April 1st and be saved/reappear before May 18th. (SEE plot hooks)

Bolivar Trask shows up in USM 125 a few weeks after the publication of UXM 87 were he dies. Although it is clear that 125 takes place about a month before 87, it seems strange that he is trying to get the venom suit back and in charge of his own company one month and the next he is doing the bidding of Fenris Corporation after his company collapses. The 87 Trask is portrayed as remorseful at his involvement in the mutant genocide while the 125 Trask is portrayed as a ruthless villain. It is not per se a contradiction, but it is close. One may choose to say that his company was failing and he tried one last ditch effort to save it: getting the suit. When he failed so did the company. Then the Fenris twins came along shortly after to recruit him.

ADDITIONAL NOTES ON MY DECISIONS:

I added a few things that are not canon, but that I thought were necessary. All these are in brown

Also the "President" that is shown is sometimes Bush sometimes not, but it is always an older white man. Obama losing to Robert Kelly was the way I handled it. Robert Kelly does not exist in the canon of the Ultimate Universe, but in some later stories that I don't include a vice president named Bob Blackthorne does appear. I made this the ticket as you can see. I am neither a republican nor a democrat at this point in my life, so no political motivation was involved. It merely seems the policies regarding Mutants are more in line with Kelly's tendencies in the 616, so I made the choice to do it this way. Of course you can change 2008 to 2001 in the timeline and then it would be Bush the whole time. It is up to you.

Daredevil threatens to kill the Kingpin’s wife and might have done so if not for the intervention of Spider- Man. Spider-Man and Daredevil tell the Kingpin to leave the country and never return. He agrees.

09 – Moonknight somehow survives and turns himself in to the authorities. He informs the authorities that the Kingpin was the one who tried to kill him and agrees to testify against him. Before the Kingpin can leave he is arrested for the attempted murder of Moonknight.


12 – Mr. Fantastic, in an attempt to fuel his Cosmic Cube device, inadvertently draws the Silver Searcher to Earth. The Searcher’s approach causes planet-wide natural calamities, like electrical storms and tidal waves. The Searcher outclasses the Fantastic Four and summons his master Revka Temerlune Edifex Scyros III, AKA the King with No Enemies, to Earth. One there the King, named the Psycho-Man by the Human Torch, takes psychic control of the entire populace of New York, then the world. He transports the entire population of Earth to another world, Zenn La, where he rules over them in the “perfect” society.

14 – They live in the “utopia” until The Searcher comes to Mr. Fantastic and removes him from the range of the King’s mind control machines. Once beyond the city, the King’s control over Mr. Fantastic ends and he and the Searcher decide to save the kidnapped populace. Mr. Fantastic and the rest confront Psycho-Man. Mr. Fantastic gains control of the mind control device and all of the other technology on the planet. It nearly destroys his mind, but with the help of the rest of the Four, he manages to control it. He teleports everyone back to Earth and edits all of their memories to forget the event. He also uses the power to make Psycho- Man a happy slave like his subjects had been. The Searcher leaves to explore the universe.

15– Mr. Fantastic continues to obsess over completing the Cosmic Cube. A colleague of Dr. Franklin Richards named Ivan Kragoff invites Mr. Fantastic and Invisible Woman to a symposium in Siberia. Mr. Fantastic is too caught up in finishing the cube, so the Invisible Woman goes to Siberia without him. However, the Symposium is a ruse. The Invisible Woman’s plane is shot down and she is taken prisoner by Kragoff and his assistant Sorba Rutskaya. Mr. Fantastic strangely slips out of his obsessive mindset and he and the other members of the Four go to save her. Once in Siberia they encounter a 1980s era Crimson Dynamo. After an initial conflict they work together to find Invisible Woman. Meanwhile Kragoff reveals his plan to attempt to use teleportation through the N- Zone to overwrite his dying wife’s genetic code and memories on a host body thus combining them into a new form and save his wife. He reasons that the Invisible Woman’s body is a perfect candidate for such a procedure, because her first trip through the N-Zone has already re-written her genetic code once. However, before he can finish the experiment he is murdered by his assistant Rutskaya. She means to insert herself into the experiment and gain the Invisible Woman’s powers. When Rutskaya learns that the Four and the Crimson Dynamo are on their way to save the Invisible Woman, she sends three soldiers in stolen Dynamo Armor to stop them. Before she can complete the process, the Invisible Woman uses her powers to interrupt it. The interruption causes several different simian DNA samples to be incorporated into the experiment. These are combined with Rutskaya and turn her into a gigantic, deformed, gorilla-like creature with multiple simian limbs and heads, as well as a single human head which retains Rutskaya’s insane personality. Invisible Woman escapes Rutskaya with the help of the talking bear Misha. Rutskaya sets the base to self-destruct. She fights the Four until the Invisible Woman introduces even more DNA into her unstable system. The self destruct goes off, and while the Invisible Woman manages to protect her allies, Rutskaya’s body is not found. The Invisible Woman hypothesizes that Rutskaya probably survived the blast using her intangibility.

16 – A translucent cube-shaped force field appears covering most of Manhattan extending out to New Jersey. Those inside seem to be in a form of stasis, frozen like statues. Mr. Fantastic hypothesizes that the cube is a self defense of his Cosmic Cube. He also reveals to the Invisible Woman that he feels that he was being compelled by a force outside of his control to finish the Cube. Halcyon forces have come to take the Cube, but Mr. Fantastic uses it to defend himself. When they are unable to break through the force field, they use a tractor beam to remove the whole force cube and Manhattan within it. Thanos’ forces intercede and teleport the force-cube to their home world Acheron. Once there the Four leave the force-cube to confront Thanos and his army. The Thing disappears. Thanos reveals that it was his will that was compelling Mr. Fantastic to complete the Cube and as a result he can also control it. Thanos and Mr. Fantastic face off in a battle of wills for control of the Cube. Thanos goes to Earth and begins to transform it as he wishes. The Thing awakes on another world. He finds out that he has be teleported there by Atrea, Thanos’ daughter. The Thing convinces Atrea to help him save the others. They begin by finding Mister Fantastic who has fooled Thanos into thinking he has been killed. They then go to Earth to confront Thanos. One there Mister Fantastic removes the removes the safeguards from the Cube that stop it from responding to random whim or fantasy. Thanos’ infatuation with death causes him to effectively kill himself. Mister Fantastic use the Cube to fix all of the Thanos’ actions and disposes of it in a time-rift creating a paradox in which the present events were the cause of Thanos getting the Cube in the past.


May

03 – The Invisible Woman is called to Nursery Two in Pine Buttes Oregon to investigate a mysterious giant shell. SHIELD agent Agatha Harkness, a social psychologist, is assigned to the Baxter Building to study the effectiveness and efficiency of the Fantastic Four. The Four go to assist the residents of an apartment building that has mysteriously become unstable because of random wholes being bored into it. Before they can help they are threatened by a group of seven heroes, Alpha Dog, Filament, Ghost-Ware, Neuropath, Penultimate, and Primal Screamer. The Seven say they will rescue the building and that they will fight the Four for the honor if necessary. The Invisible Woman and Mr. Fantastic talk about their relationship, but she is unsure that she is ready to reconcile with him. Harkness uses subterfuge to separate the Invisible Woman from the rest of the Four. She then has the Seven attack her. They defeat her and Alpha Dog makes her denser and throws her in the ocean. There she is saved by Namor. Namor tells her that the shell was the egg of something called a Hydra. The Hydra are a race of creatures responsible for the destruction of one of the districts of Atlantis and possibly the sinking of the entire civilization. They conclude that the seven meta-humans and Agantha Harkness are in fact a single creature, as the hydra has two forms, one singular and the other multifaceted. They discover that they reproduce by using an explosion of power as a catalyst. They reproduce in factors of seven and will therefore be an end to the world. Meanwhile the other members of the Fantastic Four realize something is amiss as well. They are defeated by the Seven and they kidnap the Human Torch. They take him back to Pine Buttes to use his powers as the catalytic explosion. However the other members and Namor come to rescue the Human Torch and fight the Seven. The Invisible Woman uses the unstable biology of the Hydra against them. She introduces chemicals into the air that the Hydra’s incomplete molecular structure bond with. Rather than borrowing power from the catalyst explosion they create the explosion themselves and are consumed by it. While most of the Four and Namor escape, Mr. Fantastic is left behind. The Invisible Woman goes back for him and save him with her shield. Inside the shield safe from the explosion they kiss implying that they may get back together.

Characters:

I will post three types of character builds for use in the setting. The first character type, called original characters, contains those characters that I have created based on my own ideas. These characters do not exist in any universe. They are my own or have been created with help from my players. The second character type, called non-canon characters, contain those characters that I have created as adaptations or reboots of existing 616 Marvel characters for use in the Ultimate universe. These characters are versions of characters I thought I could put a cool spin on, like Arcade, or ones I have fleshed out, like Unus. The final character type, called canon characters, merely contains builds of the characters as they exist in the universe. By calling them canon, I simply mean that they exist in the canon of the 1610 universe and the builds represent them in that form.

Note:

I use several house rules, most of which are adoptions of the 3e mechanics:

2011

January 2011


February 2011

25 – [NOTE: From the perspective of the time travels, these events occur after the events of February 25, 2031. Read that entry before this one.] Susan Storm playfully chides Reed Richards about their date plans while he works on a strange device. Before Reed can change for their date, a futuristic train crashes through the portal-like portion of the device into Reed’s laboratory. The Thing and the Human Torch enter the laboratory having heard the commotion. A group of metahumans wearing costumes adorned with the “X” of the X-men emerge from the wreckage of the train. One of the group, dressed in a costume which is a hybrid of Captain America’s and an X-Men’s, says “We made it. We did it. Thank God we found the Fantastic Four.” Before the confused Four can react, the group of “X-Men” attack them, stating that they must kill them. The Thing faces off against one of the members of the group, recognizing her as Kitty Pride. When he makes light of her ability to fight him, she responds that she has learned a lot in the last twenty years. She shows the Thing that one of these things is the ability to manipulate her density and clobbers him. Susan Storm faces off against a blonde male who seems to have the powers of the Phoenix. She asks him why he and the others are attacking him, and he responds that “It has nothing to do with you. This is his fault.” When Susan responds that if you go after one member of the Fantastic Four “Family” you have to face all of them, the “Phoenix” responds “Family? You don’t’ know the meaning of the word. You don’t understand. You never understood what it was like.” Before the fight can begin in earnest, the group escapes with Reed Richards, carried away by the “Phoenix.”

At Xavier’s Mansion, Rogue and Wolverine argue over her recent use of the Banshee drug. She begs his forgiveness, pointing out that when she used it she could control her powers and actually touch people. He refuses to forgive her, based partly on the fact that Xavier used his blood to create the drug. Before they can argue further, they are interrupted by a psychic message from Jean Grey. Back inside the mansion, the remaining members of the Fantastic Four have come to question the X-Men about recent events. Jean uses her telepathy to show everyone what happened. The Fantastic Four asks for the X-Men’s help because Susan believes that the kidnappers are some somehow alternate versions of them. Wolverine refuses and confronts Susan Storm, but Jean intervenes, telling him his attitude is a problem. She benches Wolverine and agrees to help find the other “X-Men.” She uses her Phoenix force to locate them. Jean learns that the other Phoenix used his telepathy to make them believe they fled the Baxter Building, but they are actually still there. Susan asks them to get the rest of the X-Men and go to the Baxter Building. Jean responds that the only available members are she, Wolverine, Iceman, Liz Allen, and Rogue.

Meanwhile, back at the Baxter Building, the other X-Men are torturing Reed Richards, but cannot destroy him. When Reed is left alone, he tells the “Phoenix” that he recognizes him from his extra-dimensional viewers. He says that he has seen a multitude of possible futures and in all of them he has a son, Franklin Richards. “Phoenix” does not believe that Reed is his father, but before they can discuss the matter further, “Phoenix” is impaled on three sharp blades like those of Wolverine. Elsewhere in the Baxter Building, the other “X-Men” realize something is wrong. They are soon attacked by a score of Wolverine-like androids.

When the X-Men and the Fantastic Four arrive at the Baxter Building, they find the scene of the battle. Jean unmasks “Captain America,” knowing his true identity: Scott Summers. Jean senses that Scott is dying, and no longer a mutant. He tells her that his powers were stolen. He says that “they” stole Cap’s powers, he aged a hundred years in moment, and died. After that, he took up the mantle of Captain America. He says that they were betrayed by someone they trusted. Before he can reveal anymore, The other Rogue and the other Phoenix appear with the severed head of one of the Wolverine androids. The head reveals that he is a sentinel and that “they” used him as a template to create an army of sentinels to hunt mutant-kind. While the android reveals this, Scott dies. Jean Grey reveals that the other Phoenix is part of her. Susan asks the android where Reed is, but he does not know. The other Phoenix tells them that Reed has been taken to the future. When they ask why Reed has been taken the other Kitty Pride answers. She tells them they have no idea how terrible the future that they are trying prevent is, but soon they will.

Suddenly, Ghost appears and shoots him down. Tony falls into Thames and starts to drown.

Resigned, Tony opens box with Remnant 242 for Howard and it turns out it contains severed head of Iron Man from alternate dimension.

At the headquarters of S.T.R.I.K.E., S.H.I.E.L.D.'s U.K. division, Gregory Stark arrives to meet with Nick Fury and Hawkeye and present them the new Avengers he has gathered. In addition to War Machine, and Red Wasp, there is a new Black Widow, who is also Fury's ex-wife. The new Widow is meant to keep an eye on Nick Fury for Carol Danvers, Gregory decided that in order to take on Red Skull and A.I.M. the team will need his Nerd Hulk - a clone with Banner's intellect and Hulk's physical abilities. Nick and Clint also meet an enigmatic figure in Spider-Man's costume, but Stark advises them to keep away from it.

In Paris, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s satellites track Captain America and the Avengers prepare to take him in. Steve anticipates their move, disposes of Red Wasp with a bug-spray and knocks Black Widow out with his shield. Hawkeye tries to stop him with sleeping darts, but Rogers deflects them and Barton is hit instead. Cap is able to outrun Jim Rhodes' car, but then it transforms into War Machine's armor. War Machine chases Captain America through the city until Steve leads him to a kindergarten where Rhodes can't use his weapons without hurting civilians. Rogers knocks Rhodes out and takes one of his guns which moments later he uses on Black Widow, who catches up with him, but isn't able to stop him. Meanwhile, Nerd Hulk runs away from S.H.I.E.L.D. agents because he doesn't like the trunks they gave him, finds a suit and gets in Captain's way.

Supreme Commander and kills him, wanting the Cosmic Cube for himself.

26 – At the French S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, Nick Fury tells War Machine about two of Red Skull's deeds that stick in his head most. One is murder of Nikolai Laskov, when he forced his own wife to kill him, threw their child out of the window and gave the woman to his henchmen. The other is the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy right after he had escaped from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s base.

At the A.I.M headquarters in Alaska, War Machine teleports the Avengers outside of A.I.M.'s compound. Red Wasp tells him that she's the wife of Nikolai Laskov. Avengers go inside and find Red Skull who used the Cosmic Cube to make all A.I.M. agents into cannibals. Their weapons are useless against the Skull who destroys the compound, but teleports the Avengers away to torment them before killing them. When he's about to start with Red Wasp, War Machine drags him away. Nerd Hulk, Hawkeye and Black Widow assist Rhodes, but are unable to harm the Skull.

Back at French S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, the French agents are questioning Captain America about tracking system they found on him. Rogers says that he put bugs on Avengers when he was fighting them, because he couldn't find Red Skull on his own and orchestrated his own capture. He escapes, goes to the hangar and hijacks a plane capable of teleporation. Meanwhile, Fury and Gregory Stark are considering detonating nuclear bomb hidden in War Machine's armor.

Back in Alaska, War Machine tries to kill Red Skull with sonic attack, but he shrugs it off. The other Avengers engage him, so he starts with Black Widow and reshapes reality around her to make her relive her captivity in Bosnia. While Hawkeye fights Red Skull, Monica forces Nerd Hulk to overcome his fear and become useful. He charges the villain, manages to grab the Cosmic Cube and smash it, but it is revealed to be illusion created by Red Skull.

Meanwhile, Captain America in on his way in tele-plane and asks Fury and Stark delay detonation of the bomb. Red Skull finds the nuke in War Machine's armor and turns it into Hawkeye's family's bones to taunt Barton. Rogers arrives, but the Skull shoots down the plane. Clint then gives Steve the villain's exact coordinates, making it possible for Cap to teleport the tele-plane inside Red Skull's force-field and impale him on the vehicle's antennae, defeating him.

27 – Back at the S.H.I.E.L.D. hospital in New York, the doctors manage to keep Red Skull alive long enough for him to say good-bye to his mother. Afterwards, he confesses to Fury that he wanted to use the Cosmic Cube to change the past and make it so his father came back from war and become a family. A moment later Red Wasp shoots Skull in the head.

Later at the Avengers black site, Gregory admits to Fury that he knows it was him who anonymously brokered the deal between Red Skull and A.I.M. and orchestrated the whole affair to restart Project Avengers. Nick says that he'll do whatever it takes to get his old job back.

5 – Six months after Magneto's attack New York City's reconstruction has come to an end. Because Daily Bugle was closed, Peter Parker works at Burger Frog, a job he's not terribly fond of.

Later that day, three crooks drive a car through a shop's window. Before they can force the owner to open the safe, Shroud shows up and easily defeats them. Impervious to bullets and super-strong, Shroud laments that after all that happened some people still can't find anything better to do with their lives, and then disappears. Spider-Man and the police arrive and the former receives the gratitude from the latter, as a result of the positive internet articles Jameson has been writing about Spider-Man.

Spider-Man goes back home where his current girlfriend, Gwen Stacy, waits for him. She gets slightly annoyed when Aunt May tells that that Kitty Pryde called earlier suspecting she still has more than friendly feelings for Peter. Suddenly Johnny Storm shows up at the door and asks if he can spend the night there, before collapsing.

At Fisk Tower, Kingpin, free again, gets a late visit from Mysterio. The Black Cat, observing from a nearby rooftop, is about to shoot Kingpin with a sniper rifle, but Mysterio attacks Fisk, before she can pull the trigger. Fisk smashes through the window of the building falling to his death. Mysterio suspects that killing Fisk will earn him a serious reputation.

Back at the Parkers' home, May decides to let Johnny sleep and find out what he has been up to after he rests. Peter goes to sleep and has nightmares about the flood.

In his hideout, Mysterio records a message for the press. He confesses to killing Kingpin and warns the world that he wants to take Fisk's place.

6 – At New York University, Flash Thompson and other football players, throw food at Kitty to make her phase. Kong rushes to her defense even though she's not his girlfriend anymore. The Safety officers break up the fight, and attempts to report Kitty Pryde to the University officials for using her powers. Kitty sees that Mary Jane filmed the whole thing and despite her protests she destroys the camera.

Peter and Gwen
are enjoying a peaceful meal on a rooftop, when they hear explosions nearby. Parker investigates as Spider-Man and meets the Bombshells, mother-daughter criminal duo capable of creating explosions. They manage to run away, but he catches up with them on a rooftop. He knocks the mother out, and falls from the building with the daughter. It turns out the Bombshells' powers work only when they're close to each other and Spider-Man hands them over to the police.

Later back at the Parker Residence, Johnny finally wakes up and May asks him where he's been since the flood.

At New York University, upper classman Jessica Jones shows Mysterio's message to Mary Jane and asks her if she wants to write a story for the NYU News about Spider-Man, not reveal his identity, but to show him as a hero.

At the Parker Residence, Johnny tells May that after his father's death he went to Europe for a while, and after he came back to New York, he didn't want to live in Baxter Building anymore. May asks him to call his sister and tell her he's okay.

At Burger Frog, Peter goes on a break, runs into Mary Jane and has an argument with about her breaking up with him, not returning his calls, and his hooking up with Gwen. Later, Spider-Man finds giant spiders chasing terrified people, but discovers the monsters are illusions. He figures out that it's just a distraction and finds Mysterio in Federal Reserve Bank. After short fight the criminal promises to get even for ruining his plans and teleports away.

Peter comes home just as Sue Storm heads out and she asks him to keep an eye on her brother. Inside, Peter finds out that Johnny is going to be living with the Parkers.

At the Midtown Mall, When Mary Jane leaves work one of her colleagues tries to ask her out. She wants to get rid of him saying that she got back together with Peter. Just then a group of thugs stop their car to harass Mary Jane, asking her to come with them. Shroud comes to Mary Jane's rescue, beats up the bad guys and disappears before Watson is able to figure out who hides under the hood.

Back at the Parker Residence, Johnny tells Peter that he wanted to live a normal life, so his sister and May let him stay here. Parker is surprised, but doesn't have anything against it, and even gives Storm his room, deciding to move to his laboratory in the attic.

7 –
At New York University, Mary Jane tells Peter what happened with the Shroud. She tells him that she regrets breaking up with him, because now she can't have him back and feels lonely. Gwen and Peter assure her they want to be her friends and remind her that it was she who was avoiding them. Jessica Jones comes to Mary Jane and tells her that Hulk is trashing the Queensborough Bridge. Parker goes there to stop him, but before he can realize that the monster is an illusion and all the destruction is caused by hidden explosives, he is incapacitated and at the mercy of Mysterio.

In Queens, Theresa Pryde, Kitty’s mother, comes back early from work to find Bobby Drake in her basement, who explains that his parents kicked him out and he didn't have anywhere else to go, so Kitty let him stay here.

On the Queensborough Bridge, Shroud comes to Spider-Man's rescue and gets thrown off of the bridge by Mysterio. This gives Peter enough time to get up, but a moment later Mysterio regains the upper hand. However, before the villain can deliver final blow, Shroud returns and destroys a vital component of his equipment, causing an explosion. With his suit damaged, Mysterio must retreat, so he teleports away promising Spider-Man he's going to kill him. Shroud shows Peter a piece of villain's suit that got left behind and disappears before Parker can get to know more about the mysterious figure. Spider-Man goes to see Captain Frank Quaid and gives him the evidence hoping that it might help police find out something about Mysterio.

Back at the Pryde Residence, Theresa thinks that she has enough trouble with Kitty and doesn't want to have another mutant in her home, so her daughter comes up with another idea.

Peter comes back home and learns that May decided to take Bobby in, too, because she feels that she needs to help anyway she can.

Back in his hideout, Mysterio finds Spider-Man's blood on his suit and comes up with another way to kill him.

9 – Black Cat breaks into Kingpin's office, finds a safe behind a painting and opens it. Mysterio shows up and offers her a job, but Felicia refuses and they fight. Overpowered, Black Cat retreats and Mysterio takes the contents of the safe.

12 – In order to help keep Human Torch and Iceman's identity secret while they're living with the Parkers, Johnny has his hair dyed black, and Bobby has his head shaved.
Susan Storm uses her influence to get Bobby and Johnny admitted into New York University.

13 – Mary Jane quickly recognizes Johnny and Bobby, but promises she'll keep the secret. Suddenly there's an explosion and a Spider-Slayer appears on campus. Peter tells Johnny and Bobby not to reveal themselves and that he will take care of it alone. While all other students run outside, Spider-Man saves a professor and hides him in the safe place, but before he can get back to the Spider-Slayer, Shroud manages to take care of it. Then the Human Torch shows up and melts the robot ruining any chance to find out who built it. Shroud slips out unnoticed and it is revealed that it is Kitty Pryde under the hood.

Back in his hideout, Mysterio examines the camera footage he received from his Spider-Slayer. Before he can upload it online for someone to identify Spider-Man and tell him his real name, his alarms detect the police and the villain must teleport away and destroy his equipment.

The Police secure the scene and leave Mysterio’s hideout. The Black Cat, who has kept Mysterio under surveillance, enters the ruins of the hideout. Felicia finds a hidden box containing the contents of Fisk’s safe: the Zodiac Key. Mysterio shows up and says that Kingpin created and ruled his criminal empire thanks to its power. Mysterio demands that Hardy to give it back. Black Cat reveals that she knows how the Key works. Suddenly there's a flash of light and moments later Felicia is seen running away.

15 – Rick Jones finally awakens and comes back home from the hospital. May Parker, one of Joneses' neighbors, visits Marion and offers her help if she needs it. Mrs. Jones says that Rick's problems aren't drug-related, she thinks her son is a mutant, and he almost died when his powers manifested. She doesn't know what to do and is afraid to ask for anyone's help because of current hate for mutants. Meanwhile, Rick discovers he has powers and starts remembering how he got them.

At the Midtown Mall, Mary Jane tells Peter that she thinks the idea of Human Torch and Iceman living in his house is crazy, but he says that May is happiest he has seen her in a while. At home, Amy tells the boys about Rick and asks them to talk to him as superheroes. While the three boys decide how to approach Jones, they notice him powering up in his backyard. Startled by them, Rick accidentally opens a portal that transports him and Spider-Man to Michigan. After they return to Queens, Jones reveals that his powers were given to him by a strange being that came to him. Johnny then realizes that Rick is the herald chosen by the Watchers.

Human Torch tells Rick Jones about his encounter with the Watcher and Spider-Man and Iceman try to cheer him up and offer advice on how to be a super-hero, but he isn't having any of that and believes his life is ruined. Instead, Rick wants to meet the Watcher, and even though Johnny tells him that the alien is no longer there, Jones teleports all four of them to the Project Pegasus headquarters in Wyoming. When the boys arrive, they find several unconscious S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and it turns out the Serpent Squad is responsible. The women attack the heroes, but soon get beaten by them. Rick slowly starts to come to terms with what happened to him. Agent Wendell Vaughn arrives with reinforcements and wants to detain and question the boys, but Jones teleports them back to Queens. There, Rick decides to take the name Nova and leave home to figure out who he is now and what is his purpose. He says goodbye to his family and disappears, and three superheroes are told by Mrs. Jones to get out of her property.

19 – In Brooklyn, the Bombshells are back and this time they're robbing an armored car. Spider-Woman tries to stop them and succeeds, with Human Torch's help. Johnny wants to talk to Jessica, but she prefers to keep away from him so he won't learn the truth about her. She can't lose him though and after he catches up with her, he asks her out.

After a lecture, Gwen takes Peter to the girls' bathroom where Kitty and Mary Jane are waiting to give him a long overdue haircut. At Parkers' home, May likes her nephew's new haircut and Johnny comes back happy that he met girl of his dreams. When Peter hears him saying he made out with Spider-Woman, he gets upset and goes out. He stops several crimes as Spider-Man, but it doesn't take his mind off Johnny-and-Jessica issue.

20 – University Officials come into a lecture with federal agents and reluctantly ask Kitty Pryde to come with them. Kong comes to Kitty's defense and knocks down one of federal agents, but others apprehend him. Gwen stops Johnny and Bobby from intervening, and Peter tells Kitty she has to “go.” Pryde then grabs Kenny and phases through the floor into the sewers. She thanks Kong for his help, says she shouldn't have broken up with him, and decides to run away with him.

Back at the Parker Residence, Peter knows that he and his friends couldn't help Kitty without revealing themselves, but decides to find her now. The three heroes go to her house and see Shroud attacking assembled reporters. They discover it is Kitty, who feels they betrayed her friendship by not taking a stand with her earlier. Kitty reveals that she learned how to make her molecules super-dense granting her strength and resistance to damage. Despite this, Iceman traps her in a block of ice, but before boys can decide what to do, Pryde phases into the ground. The young heroes go into the sewers to find her, but she doesn't respond to their calls and they decide to leave her alone. Meanwhile, it is revealed that Mary Jane has a video of federal agents' botched attempt at Kitty's arrest.

21 – May tells her nephew and his two friends that they should stop being superheroes until everything calms down after what happened with Kitty Pryde. She would like the boys to use that time for school and regular life for a change.

22 – Bobby Drake decides he needs a job and next day he starts working with Peter at Burger Frog, which amuses Johnny to no end. During Parker's break Mary Jane comes to show him and Gwen the recording of Kitty's arrest and asks them what she should do with it. Peter decides to take her to Daily Bugle.com's office and talk to Ben Urich. After he sees the recording he understands the kids' dilemma: they want to show that
NYU officials weren't at fault, but they don't want to make Kitty more of a victim. Urich asks Mary Jane if wants to sell the recording, and after she refuses, but he claims he's just testing her. They decide that he will write an article with Watson as his witness. Meanwhile, Peter notices J. Jonah Jameson, who surprisingly sets off his spider-sense. He follows him to the garage and is attacked by him. Jonah then changes shape to that of Peter's, curious about the boy and his apparent superpowers. The shape-changer is revealed to be the Chameleon and locks Parker in the trunk of a car. He goes back to Mary Jane and Ben pretending to be Peter.

Mary Jane and Chameleon return from Daily Bugle.com's office. Chameleon suspects she is Parker's girlfriend and kisses her, which upsets her and she gets out of the cab. Chameleon continues the ride to Queens and when he gets there, he kills the taxi driver and enters Parkers' home. He tries to figure out how everyone present is related to Peter, and then goes to his room in the attic, but he can't find anything useful. He calls his partner, explains the change of their plans and wants to put captured Jameson and Parker in a room together to try and get some information out of them. Chameleon also tells Gwen, who feels something is wrong, that Mary Jane tried to kissed him, which pisses her off.

23 – Chameleon starts the day with threatening to kill Flash Thompson if he tries to harass him one more time, and then goes to Mary Jane to try to make her tell something about Peter. They kiss again, but this time Gwen sees it and runs away. Chameleon follows her home and there May yells at him for hurting his girlfriend whom she found packing her bags. Aunt mentions costumes, which makes Chameleon run upstairs and search the attic more thoroughly. This time he finds Spider-Man's costume.

Peter wakes up somewhere and finds himself tied up with J. Jonah Jameson sharing his predicament. He quickly figures out it wasn't him who attacked him in Daily Bugle.com's office. At the same time the editor wonders why somebody would want to kidnap someone like Peter Parker and suddenly understands that he's sitting in front of Spider-Man.

Meanwhile, after finding Spider-Man's costume and web-shooters, Chameleon tries to pretend to be the superhero, but finds out that web-swinging is much harder than it looks. He takes mutant growth hormone to increase his strength and commits a series of robberies. Then he calls his partner and tells him to get rid of Jameson as he is no longer needed. The partner, who turns out to be Chameleon's sister and also possess shape-changing abilities, comes in the room where the prisoners are held, shoots Jonah in the head, and then wants Peter to answer some questions.

Back at the Parker Residence, May sees the report on Spider-Man's crime-spree on TV, figures out this is not her nephew, and asks Johnny and Bobby to find real Peter.

Chameleon, tired from committing robberies and starting to feel aftereffects of mutant growth hormone, is found by Human Torch and Iceman, who order him to take off the mask. Two heroes see Peter's face, but are not fooled by it. Chameleon surprises them with a gun and his electric powers, and manages to run away.

In Chameleons' hideout, the female Chameleon wants Peter to tell her all the valuable S.H.I.E.L.D. secrets he knows, and if he won't, they'll hurt his family and make them think it was he who did it. Suddenly the other Chameleon returns and orders his sister to kill Parker and leave, because his friends are chasing him. Before the villains can do anything, the room freezes. The female Chameleon is put in the block of ice by Bobby and Johnny burns the oxygen out of the room, making the male Chameleon lose consciousness. Human Torch discovers that J. Jonah Jameson is still alive and rushes him to the hospital. The heroes turn the Chameleons over to S.H.I.E.L.D.

24 – Peter receives medical treatment at the Triskellion, Carol Danvers tells Peter that Human Torch and Iceman explained to her that recent crime spree was Chameleon's doing and lets him go home, but advices him to rethink his career as a costumed superhero.

In the hospital, Jameson wakes up and remembers that Peter Parker is Spider-Man.

25 – Back at the Parker Residence, May tells her nephew that he shouldn't blame himself for everything that happened, but he should talk to Gwen as soon as possible.

Meanwhile at St. Mary's hospital, J. Jonah Jameson watches news reports on Spider-Man. When Ben Urich and Joe Robertson visit him, he tells them that he knows Spider-Man didn't commit these crimes and he'll tell rest of the world about it. He also knows who the hero really is, but won't reveal it to anyone.

26 –
At NYU, Gwen tells Mary Jane that she shouldn't have started dating Peter, because now she has to live with him after everything that happened. Later, they run into Lana Baumgartner who is getting something to eat in the cafeteria after attending her court-ordered therapy at NYU. Peter recognizes her as one of Bombshells. He reveals that he knows her secret identity. She reveals that she now lives with her grandmother and is trying to put her life of crime behind her. Gwen sees that Peter is talking to the girl and is upset.

Peter finds Mary Jane who shows him the Daily Bugle.com's article and tells him that she thinks that when the Chameleon was posing as Peter, that he hit on her because he noticed how much she loves him. Peter goes home to talk to Gwen, but finds out she ran away.


28 – The Punisher is working his way through gangsters from Eastern Europe until he finally draws the attention of Russian kingpin Joseph Petrenko, also called Red Hammer. The criminal, thinking his American rivals are responsible, comes to United States to negotiate. Castle learns where the meeting is supposed to take place and tries to grab Red Hammer. The Hammer reveals himself as Captain America in disguise and easily defeats the Punisher. Punisher ends up in S.H.I.E.L.D. hospital where he meets Nick Fury and Black Widow and learns that Red Hammer was captured and extradited back to Russia. He is offered membership in the Avengers and is given a skill-enhancing suit to use in the field. It turns out Frank isn't the only one to be recruited to the black ops team: War Machine heads out to meet Bruce Banner's mentor, the first Hulk.

29 – In South America, Tyrone Cash, a man who has killed the local ganglords and taken their place, is visited by War Machine. Very few know that he's actually Leonard Williams who has found a way to use the Hulk Formula, but retain his intellect. War Machine tells him he's aware of his secret. Thinking Rhodes is there to arrest him, Tyrone attacks and defeats Jim, who explains that Nick Fury wants him for Avengers and if Cash won't agree, S.H.I.E.L.D. will tell his family he's still alive.

At a SHIELD black site in New Jersey, the Avengers' new line-up is completed. Fury tells his men that their new order comes directly from the White House and their new target scares the living hell out of him. Nick Fury tells Avengers that their new target is most likely a mutant who killed some wealthy people. Punisher thinks they probably deserved it and wants to walk away, but Black Widow administers a neural shock to him through an implant hidden in his head, stopping him. Cash and Rhodes go to the latest victim's house and find out that the body was petrified. One of the agents tells them that the only thing that the victims had in common was that they all belonged to something called the White House Biker Corps, a group who meets once a year for a Charity Bike Ride.

30 – At Chicago O'Hare Airport, Hawkeye, Punisher and squad of SHIELD agents await the arrival of Bill Warren, a member of White House Biker Corps and potential next victim. Barton tells Castle that he's not the first person who got shanghaied into Avengers, but before he can elaborate, Ghost Rider shows up on the landing strip, crashes through the plane, grabs Warren and drives away. Hawkeye manages to knock him off his bike with a rocket and tells his men to finish him. Punisher gets to Ghost Rider first, but is quickly outclassed and only the cross on his neck saves his life. The Demon tells Frank that he has a message for him from the other side, and then crucifies Bill Warren.

Back at the Triskelion, on the orders from White House, the Avengers are moving into the base. Nerd Hulk is now a member of staff and calls himself Banner. The Black Widow is getting info on Ghost Rider from Spider, but in return the creature wants to know why Monica and Nick got divorced. She says that Fury slept with her mother, sisters, cousins and friends. Spider tells a story about Johnny Blaze, who was travelling with his girlfriend Roxanne across the country twenty years ago. In a bar in Tucson, they met a biker gang, who killed the girl, sacrificed Johnny and offered him to Satan, and in exchange they became the richest men in America. The Prince of Hell decided to double-cross them and gave Johnny a chance for revenge. He sold his soul so that Roxanne could live again and have a happy life. Now, after twenty years of preparation in Hell, he has returned to Earth as Ghost Rider and started killing his murderers. The last one alive is their leader, Robert Blackthorne, current Vice President of the United States.

October 2011

1 – At the White House, the Avengers and SHIELD agents wait for Ghost Rider. Hawkeye confirms to Punisher that he too was a criminal who got shanghaied into Fury's squad. Meanwhile inside, Blackthorne gives away the last piece of his soul to Satan in exchange for powers equal to those of Johnny Blaze's. The Vice President is transformed into another Ghost Rider and busts out of the White House to look for his enemy. The Avengers think he's Blaze and attack him. Blackthorne knocks out Black Widow, but is grabbed by Cash who tells War Machine to hit them with everything he's got. Vice President survives the barrage and shoots Rhodes down, but before he can finish him, Blaze arrives. Blaze drags him away and tells him he'll finally have his revenge. Blaze has Blackthorne beaten, but Hawkeye, Punisher and SHIELD agents shoot him before he can finish his enemy. The Vice President repays his saviors by throwing flame at them. He is about to kill Johnny, but Cash grabs him and rides with him on his motorcycle into a gas station. The explosion doesn't kill Blackthorne, but gives Blaze enough time to get back on his feet. He drags the Vice President into a church, where they both lose their demonic powers and continue their fight with their fists. Blackthorne gains the upper hand, but is shot and killed by Punisher. Ghost Rider tells Castle that they have similar goals and convinces him to let him go free. Frank pleads with Hawkeye to grant him the same mercy. Barton responds by punching Punisher and knocking him out.

2 – In Waukegan, Illinois, Blaze and Satan watch Roxanne and her family playing in a park. The Prince of Hell reminds Johnny that she will stay alive only as long as he keeps sending him souls.

Nick Fury informs Hawkeye that Punisher has escaped from transport and he can't track him down, because Barton knocked out Castle's tooth they put the implant in. Fury knows that Clint did in on purpose and warns him not to get on his bad side.

8 – Punisher gets out of the country and goes to Russia, where he finds and kills Red Hammer. He reflects on the message Ghost Rider gave him from the other side. He wonders if it was perhaps his wife, kids or parents who sent the message: “keep up the good work.”

November 2011

7 – At the Triskelion, Iron Man sees Hawkeye on the base's roof and they talk about various things that happened to the team: losing members, gaining new ones, and coming back to working with SHIELD which annoys Barton in particular. He doesn't like its current director, Carol Danvers. Stark explains that he couldn't fund Ultimates on his own anymore and didn't have any other choice. Suddenly the Defenders, now super-powered, teleport in and attack the two heroes. Moments later Captain America, Zarda and Valkyrie show up to help and Ultimates start to gain the upper hand. Valkyrie thinks their former team has come for her. She throws Thor's hammer at Son of Satan. He captures it in a portal, reveals that the Defenders have come for Mjolnir, and teleports his team out. Later, Stark argues with Danvers about the attention Ka-Zar and Shanna are receiving in the media. He is also angry that he was not told that Hellstrom was an agent of SHIELD. Captain America thinks something has to be done about Danvers and Stark's animosity towards each other, but Zarda believes it's just for show. She's right, because Tony and Carol are secretly dating.

In Valhalla, Hela offers Thor a deal: if he will give her a son, she will let him return to Midgard and Valkyrie.

In New York, Black Panther, Ka-Zar, Shanna and their tigers spend time in Central Park. Suddenly they see the Rainbow Bridge opening, and through come orcs, trolls and dragons, led by Loki and Enchantress.

At the Triskelion, Valkyrie tells Captain America that she and Defenders got powers from a serum Hank Pym made. Captain America thinks she's lying and wants her off the team. Valkyrie leaves through the window. Enchantress approaches Zarda and convinces her to join her by appealing to her arrogance, saying that she is a goddess and should be treated as such.
Elsewhere in the Triskellion, Hawkeye walks in on Tony Stark and Carol Danvers having sex and is furious. He threatens to quit the team. Danvers walks away and encounters Enchantress. Like Zarda, she too is seemingly hypnotized. Amora then finds Valkyrie and shows her Thor and Hela having sex in Valhalla, which makes it easier for her to gain control over Valkyrie.

The Ultimates learn of Loki’s invasion and Iron Man, Captain America and Hawkeye join Ka-Zar, Shanna and Black Panther in the fight with Asgardian monsters on New York's streets. Suddenly Zarda attacks Tony and destroys his armor, Valkyrie shatters Steve's shield with the sword Enchantress gave her and knocking him out and Carol Danvers shoots Barton in the face.

Loki's army parades the defeated Ultimates through the streets of New York. Carol Danvers, who is only pretending to be under Enchantress' control, reveals that she shot Hawkeye with blanks and frees him. On her signal, Ka-Zar, Shanna and Black Panther go into action and free the other two prisoners, and a team of Giant Men grab the Ultimates and hurry away with them.

In Valhalla, where time moves differently, Hela's pregnancy is already showing. Thor demands to be released because he has fulfilled his part of the bargain, but the goddess reminds him that he can't go unless someone takes his place.

At the Triskelion, while the Ultimates prepare to strike back, Danvers explains to Hawkeye that Enchantress didn't hypnotize her thanks to her special contact lenses. With Captain America's plan, the heroes and SHIELD attack Loki's army and in the confusion Barton hits Enchantress with an arrow. With Amora's spell broken, Valkyrie turns against Loki, but he defeats her with ease and impales her on her own sword. Barbara dies and a moment later Thor returns to Earth.

Thor shoves Captain America away from Valkyrie's body, sees for himself that she is dead, and knows that Loki is to blame. While he tears through his brother's army, the god of mischief shrinks himself and Enchantress. She starts to understand Loki's plan and teleports her away, not wanting to be part of it anymore. Meanwhile, Zarda is freed of Amora's spell, but Loki creates an illusion that makes her see Thor as the Enchantress. Thor defeats her and is ready to kill her, but Iron Man intervenes. Thor partly blames Tony and the Ultimates for Valkyrie's death and disables Tony's armor with a lightning bolt.

In Valhalla, Hela, who has already given birth, isn't pleased that Loki's scheme released Thor, and decides to thwart his plan. She makes Barbara an actual Valkyrie.

Back in New York, Loki keeps Thor busy with a giant duplicate of himself. He approaches the Ultimates and tells them that so far they knew his brother as a gentle person, because Odin tamed his anger before banishing him to Earth so that he wouldn't destroy it. Now, he's returned as his old self, an angry and mad god, and even Ultimates may not stop him from laying waste to this world.

Thor creates a vortex that sucks in Loki's army and everything else in its proximity. The Ultimates decide to stop him and Captain America and Hawkeye attack their former teammate while Iron Man retreats to Triskelion for something to even the odds. Barton and Rogers can't do anything against the Asgardian, so Carol Danvers wakes up Zarda and sends her to battle. She holds her ground long enough for Stark to return in the armor he built to battle the Hulk. Thor gets hit several times, but in response he tears through the metal and stands face to face with Tony. Iron Man manages to get through to him. Loki tries to attack his brother and make him mad again, but is impaled on a spear by Valkyrie. Thor is happy to see her alive, but after kissing her he realizes that's not the case. Valkyrie takes Loki's body and before leaving, asks her lover to find a place for Earth and mankind in his heart again.

16 – Ka-Zar, Shanna and Black Panther leave for Hollywood. Zarda decides she's no longer needed in this dimension and Arcanna comes to take her home. Thor comes back from Asgard with a present for Captain America, his shield repaired by the Dwarves. With half the team gone, Hawkeye decides to stay against his better judgment. Hawkeye, Thor, Iron Man and Cap find the Defenders and defeat them easily. And in Valhalla, Thor and Hela's son meets Loki, who starts to plan his escape.

10 – Spider-Woman is surveilling Roxxon's New York facility when she sees it being destroyed by a giant squid-like creature. She evacuates several employees who swear that it's not one of their experiments gone wrong. The creature explodes leaving no trace behind.

At Reed Richards' Parents’ Residence, Gary Richards opens the door and, before Reed can warn him about the danger, the house is engulfed in a huge explosion.

In the Baxter Building, Ben Grimm visits Sue Storm and, because she's no longer dating Reed, feels it is alright to tell her that he loves her. She doesn't know how to respond and he leaves. A moment later another squid creature attacks the building. Ben comes back to help, but is thrown few blocks away.

In Soho, a stranger recognizes Nick Fury through his disguise and attacks him saying that he has only himself to blame for what's about to happen. Thanks to his personal force-field generator, Nick Fury survives the initial attack from the stranger, who turns out to be a pink alien. Spider-Man and Human Torch show up, force the creature to teleport away, and are surprised to see Fury back. Johnny hears a loud noise, notices that the Baxter Building is also under attack and flies to help Sue. Ben's already back on-site and steers the Torch inside. Storm takes his sister outside just before the squid creature disintegrates with half of the building. Sue has a piece of the creature and wants to take it to Reed Richards and analyze it.

Spider-Woman returns to her apartment and finds out about other attacks. She is ambushed by another pink alien, but manages to run away.

Invisible Woman and other heroes arrive at Richardses' house and learn that whole family died. They understand that whoever is behind the attacks, knows where to find their targets, and Spider-Man realizes his house is next.

At the Triskelion, Carol Danvers receives the report on the attacks and, seeing how widespread they are, tells everyone to treat it as if they were at war with yet unknown enemy. Then she goes to the bathroom, where she's attacked by Nick Fury, who thinks it was Danvers who sent the assassin after him. They fight briefly until one of the agents comes in and tells them another attack is happening right now in Queens.

At the Parker Residence, Bobby notices another attacking alien in the nick of time and makes an ice wall protecting the house and giving May and Gwen time to escape. He manages to hold off the creature until Spider-Man, the other heroes and a SHIELD squad arrive. Ben attacks first, but is shot by the alien and thrown down the street. With the help of others, Sue traps the alien in the force-field bubble, and then everybody notices that Grimm is emitting energy from his body and his rocky shell is breaking.

After defeating the alien, Thing is taken to the medical facility in Triskelion. Sue promises she'll save him, and she's sorry she didn't react when he said he loved her. Suddenly Ben goes into seizure, his rocky shell falls off and reveals his new human form.

Back at the Parkers Residence, Peter knows he was the target of the attack, tells May and the others to go to a hotel, and leaves, promising to return after the enemy is taken care of. Spider-Woman follows him.

At a S.H.I.E.L.D. containment facility in Reading, Pennsylvania, Carol Danvers can't get the alien to talk, so she calls Nick Fury and Hawkeye. They torture the creature who finally reveals that his master sees the world as corrupted and in need of radical change. The alien transforms into a squid monster and destroys the facility. Danvers, Fury and others evacuate, knowing it is only the beginning.

11 – In New York, Spider-Woman approaches Spider-Man telling him that Roxxon Industries was also attacked. She thinks that it might have been their own experiment that turned against them and proposes a team-up to check it out.

At the Triskelion, Sue wakes up and sees that Ben is in human form again. He explains that according to S.H.I.E.L.D. scientists he still has his strength and invulnerability and the rocky form was just a sort of a cocoon. Storm still wants to examine him herself, but Carol Danvers and Nick Fury tell her that it will have to wait until they find out who's behind the attacks.

At Project Pegasus in Wyoming, Philip Lawson arrives at the facility and tells Wendell Vaughn that he's here to help protect one of the potential targets. Asked how he's supposed to do it, he reveals he's Kree. Later, alarms sound off, and Mahr Vehl heads out to intercept the attacker, who turns out to be Nova. Rick says he was sent by the Watchers to prevent the coming destruction.

Back at the Roxxon Corporation, Spider-Woman, posing as Dr. Julia Carpenter, formerly of Baxter Building, applies for the job in the company. She succeeds, and later informs Spider-Man that she got in and he's to be ready to help her if she needs it.

At Project Pegasus, Mahr Vehl and Nova compare notes and realize they're on the same side. Suddenly the Kree loses control and attacks Wendell Vaughn and his men.

Back at the Baxter Building, Sue, Johnny, Ben and Fury investigate the ruins and come to the conclusion that the creature that attacked the building didn't teleport in, but somehow grew out of the technology. Suddenly Mahr Vehl crashes into the building, brought here by Nova, who couldn't fight him alone and needed help. Ben powers up and goes against the Kree.

At Roxxon Industries, Spider-Woman meets Arnim Zola III, Misty Knight, Nathaniel Essex, Layla Miller and Samuel Sterns. They are the rest of the team investigating the ruins of destroyed facility. When Roxxon employees learn about another attack on Baxter Building, they take the brain trust to a subbasement. Sterns believes that the attacks are only a cover to hide the theft of technology and artifacts. Jessica is tricked into revealing she never worked in the Baxter Building and the others want to know who she really is.

At the Baxter Building, the fight with Mahr Vehl threatens to level the rest of the building. The heroes try to contain him without causing further damage, but without success. Nova is knocked off the ledge and Sue dives after him, bringing them both safely to the street. They see the building is falling apart, so Storm protects people from wreckage, but she and Rick are crushed. Mahr Vehl is knocked out and Ben, Johnny and Fury search for Sue, but can't find her.

At Project Pegasus, Sue and Rick are revealed to have been teleported away by Nova. They find defeated guards and aliens stealing the artifacts from the facility. The aliens are taking the artifacts through a portal. They are led by Reed Richards.

In Subbasement 6 at Roxxon Industries, the brain trust wants to know who Jessica really is and explain to her that they're on her side. They believe that Roxxon is behind the attacks and they were hired to see how quickly they could discover what the company is hiding. They believe that after they are no longer useful, they will be expandable. Jessica webs them up and escapes, but Sterns transforms into a Hulk-like creature, breaks free, and catches her. Layla Miller calls their supervisor and tells him the plan worked and they discovered the saboteur.

At Project Pegasus, Wyoming, Sue wants to believe that it's not real Reed Richards that is standing before her, but she's forced to accept the truth. She attacks him, but he and his creatures fight back and defeat her. Nova's energy outburst damages the portal and Richards is sucked through it. Rick teleports himself and Sue to Triskelion.

At the Triskelion, Nick Fury, Carol Danvers, Human Torch and Ben Grimm try to get the information out of Mahr Vehl who tries to explain he was under somebody else's control, but doesn't know whose. Sue, heavily beaten, shows up and, before collapsing, says Reed is behind this all and he's not done yet.

At Roxxon Industries, Spider-Woman wakes up and finds herself in the hands of brain trust, and their supervisor, Doctor Octopus.

At the Triskelion, Nova reveals everything he found out about Reed in Project Pegasus and the heroes want him to take them there, but suddenly their attention is turned to Sue, who, despite the doctors' efforts, is dying.

At Roxxon Industries, Doctor Octopus tells his brain trust that Spider-Woman is a clone made by him and most likely is here to get revenge on him. Spider-Man, worried that Jessica didn't contact him for a while, barges in and frees her. While he takes care of transformed Sterns, Spider-Woman pummels on Octavius until Peter tells her they should run. Outside, they see the building being consumed by another squid creature.

At the Triskelion, the doctors manage to revive Sue who tells everybody to start evacuating the building and pull up all Reed's files that S.H.I.E.L.D. has. She knows now that he's hiding in one of the alternate dimensions he discovered and needs to examine Mahr Vehl to find out which one. Suddenly the Triskelion is attacked, so Storm sends the data to Tony Stark moments before the base is destroyed.

At Roxxon Industries, Spider-Man and Spider-Woman try to get as many people out of the facility as they can. Doctor Octopus, crushed by the creature, begs them for help. Jessica wants to let him die, but Peter convinces her they should help everybody, even him.

The Triskelion is destroyed, but Sue has managed to save the heroes and get them under water. To let Reed think he killed them, Nova teleports them to Project Pegasus. There they find a lone surviving agent, Wendell Vaughn. He tells them about a lab localized ten stories below that Richards shouldn't know about. Fury and Danvers are chagrinned to find they alos do not know about it. Sue examines S.H.I.E.L.D.'s data and samples from Mahr Vehl, but needs a piece from one of Reed's creatures to get better results. Nova and Human Torch teleport to Roxxon Industries, get a sample of the squid monster and take Spider-Man, Spider-Woman and Doctor Octopus, who decides to help the heroes, back with them.

At Reed Richards's citadel in Quadrant 77 of Negative Zone, Ben appears undetected. After making sure it really is his oldest friend, gives the Storms, the Ultimates, other heroes and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents the signal to attack. While most of them are keeping Reed and his creatures busy, Mahr Vehl, Spider-Man, Nova and Doctor Octopus get to citadel's command hub. When they see they can't disable it, Rick teleports the important components to Earth. The citadel starts to fall apart, and the heroes retreat on the Helicarrier. Reed, now with half of his face burnt by Human Torch, refuses to go with them and is blown into the void.

After getting back to Earth, Nick Fury uses a device hidden behind his eye-patch to make everybody forget they've seen him, and disappears. Carol Danvers offers Spider-Woman a job and her first task as an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. is to arrest and interrogate Doctor Octopus. Doctor Octopus offers his help in examining Reed's technology. Sue finally tells Ben she loves him too and proposes to him.

24 – Scientists test their newest subject in super-soldier experiments and this one turns out to be the best one yet. A masked man, the serum supplier, reminds them that if they use it to attack South Korea, their deal is off. The facility is breached by British S.A.S. unit and Captain America. They make their way towards the laboratory, but the masked man reaches it faster, kills the test subject. He sets the super soldier’s body on fire to erase the evidence that could back lead to him. The British manage to recover a blood sample, analyze it and send the data to Carol Danvers in Triskelion. Meanwhile, Captain America catches the masked man on the roof, but is easily beaten by him. Captain America’s mysterious opponent takes off the mask, revealing an American flag tattooed on his face. He tells Cap that the United States has changed, but he'll be happy to educate him if Cap manages to find him. Thanks to the blood sample, Danvers discovers that the man is Frank Simpson, a super-soldier and so-called "Captain America of Vietnam War,” who hasn't been seen for a long time.

26 – Captain America wakes up in Paris. Carol Danvers tells him they had to burn down whole facility in North Korea and then she had him brought to France. She tells Rogers that Simpson was the greatest success in trying to replicate the super-soldier formula, but still needed cybernetic implants and steroid supplements to become equal to first Captain America. Simpson was sent to fight in Vietnam War, but after five years he walked into the jungle, was thought to have switched sides and after the war ended wasn't seen again until two days ago. She further reveals that he is selling a super-soldier serum replicated from his own blood. Captain wants to go after Simpson, but Danvers tells him she's giving this job to Avengers. Rogers realizes that she is attempting to make his go rogue again. Rogers then decks her to make his escape look realistic. She reflects that he didn’t need to make it look that realistic.

May 2012

7 – In Cambodia, Steve searches for Simpson in the last place he was seen before North Korea, but without luck. He is about to give up, when he notices he's being followed. After beating up the assassins, they tell him to look for Simpson in Saloth, a name he heard before. It is a village that doesn't appear on any map and is supposed to be full of soldiers. Rogers eventually finds it, but sees there are only elderly, women and children in it. To his surprise, they turn out to be super-soldiers. They defeat him and bring him to Simpson, who tells Steve that this was only his first lesson.

Simpson tells Captain America that contrary to what he's most likely been told, the Vietnam War didn't make him crazy, but actually opened his eyes. Now he's going to teach Rogers all that he should know about America.

8 to 27 – Simpson reads history books to Steve, tortures him, and draws his blood to make super-soldier serum. Every day Captain tries to escape, but he's either subdued by denizens of Saloth, or he gives up, unwilling to fight women and children. In the meantime, two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents find the village looking for Rogers, but Simpson kills them in front of Steve. Finally, Frank understands he won't make Captain "see the light," as he puts he it, and decides to kill him. Upon hearing Rogers pray he leaves him for five minutes alone to show him that everything he believes in, even God, is a lie. Steve does indeed feel forsaken and starts to doubt God, but suddenly sees something. Captain America notices a snake in the cell, bites open its venom sac, and sucks it out. He waits for Frank's return, spits the venom in his face, and tries to strangle him with chains. but Simpson breaks them. The two men fight across the village, beating each other viciously, and at one point Steve tears off Frank's ear. Rogers emerges victorious and tells Simpson he already knew about all the things he was "teaching" him. He understands that sometimes you have to do bad things for the greater good. Captain finishes the fight by punching Simpson's left eye out and then convinces Saloth soldiers to stand down and fetch him a radio which he uses to call S.H.I.E.L.D.

30 – At the Triskelion, Hawkeye asks Captain how he got out the cell, and Rogers says it was an act of God that saved him. Barton reminds Rogers the things they have to do to save the world, and asks him if it is possible that it wasn't God who saved him, but "the other guy". Later, Captain goes to Simpson's cell and returns his earlier favor by reading him the bible.

04 – In Brooklyn, Miles Morales and his parents attend the lottery that will determine who will be admitted to Brooklyn Visions Academy. Miles is one of the lucky teenagers. Afterwards, he visits his uncle Aaron, who tells him it's the chance for a better life he and Miles's father didn't get. Aaron is also the burglar seen earlier, and the spider he unknowingly brought home gets out of the bag and bites Miles. The boy passes out and his uncle calls his father, who arrives and argues with Aaron because he doesn't want him to have bad influence on his son. Miles sneaks out of the apartment and while his father looks for him, he cannot see him, because the boy camouflages himself, thus revealing that the spider-bite gave him super-powers.

Freaked out by his new-found super-human agility, speed and camouflage ability, Miles Morales wanders the streets. When an older teenager tries to mug him, the boy discovers that he can also sting.

Miles goes to see his friend Ganke, tells him about being bit by a spider, shows him his powers and is afraid he might be a mutant. His father finds him here and takes him home. On the way he explains why he doesn't want Miles to hang out with Aaron: when they were younger, they were both criminals and even spent time in prison, but while he changed, his brother didn't. He also tells Miles that he can talk to him about anything, but when the boy see his father's reaction upon seeing Iceman and Human Torch, he decides not to tell him what he discovered.

Later that night, Ganke texts Miles and tells him that his abilities are similar to those some species of spiders possess, and sends him a link to an article about Spider-Man that reveals he got his powers from a spider bite. Miles then realizes he can stick to walls.

05 – After finding out Miles can stick to the walls, Ganke comes to see it and declares him Spider-Man, suspecting they both got their powers the same way. He manages to convince Miles to go see his uncle and find out where he had the spider from, but when they go to Aaron's apartment, they find it empty.

On the way back they walk by a burning building, and at Ganke's urging, Miles saves two girls from a fire. However he's sure he's not suited to be a hero and doesn't want to do anything like that ever again.

24 – At the Triskelion, Carol Danvers calls a meeting with the Ultimates to talk about Spider-Man and his future. Peter recently stopped Ringer from committing a robbery, but also managed to cause a lot of destruction in the process, and adding that to his current unpopularity because of Chameleon's actions, it makes him a problem. Each of the Ultimates tells about a recent encounter with Spider-Man. Iron Man recalls how he saved him during a ceremony of donating his old armors to New York Hall of Science. Tony of course wasn't wearing one at the time, and that is why Whiplash attacked him there, but Spider-Man came to his rescue, thought about using one of the old armors to beat the villain, and succeeded. While Iron Man praises Spider-Man's intelligence and bravery, Captain America has a different opinion. He tells about a pursuit after A.I.M. agents and how Spider-Man got involved, and while he helped Steve and S.H.I.E.L.D. to defeat them in the end, he also caused a lot of trouble and almost got Rogers killed. Captain thinks Parker is too young and unprepared to be doing what he's doing. Thor tells how Spider-Man held his own against Xandu, who found the Asgardian Eye of Avalon and transformed himself into Mangog. Peter managed to save bystanders from the mythical beast and stay alive until Thor came to the scene and took care of the villain. The Asgardian believes that Spider-Man is brave like a warrior, but needs guidance. After hearing what all three heroes have to say, Carol Danvers makes a decision.

Back in Queens, Peter comes home where Carol Danvers and Aunt May are waiting for him. Two women tell him they were discussing his future and decided that he will be trained by adult superheroes.

At the NYU cafeteria, Peter tells Johnny and Bobby that Gwen's still not answering his calls or messages. Lana joins them and quickly realizes that two other boys also know who she is. They promise to keep her secret and Bobby unsuccessfully tries to ask her out.

In Queens, May sits in the car in front of her house and leaves yet another message for Gwen, when she herself shows up. The girl says she left her phone in her room and that she went to see her mother, but she now has a new family and doesn't care about her daughter. Suddenly Iron Man swoops down from the sky and says he's here to take Peter for his superhero training. May is angry with Iron Man for showing up like that and not thinking about Peter's secret identity. Seeing the neighbors gathering around, Tony pretends he's just asking for directions and flies away. Later, Peter, Johnny and Bobby come back from school and hear people talking about Iron Man being in the neighborhood. At home they find out what happened, and Gwen and Peter talk and decide to break up and be just friends again. Tony Stark calls Parker, apologizes for his unfortunate visit, and asks him to meet him in the city.

Mysterio surprises Black Cat in her apartment and asks what she wants in return for the Zodiac Key. She wants him to go away and he vanishes, but returns a moment later and warns her to be careful what she says or thinks about while holding the artifact. Mysterio explains that he wants to use the Key to make world more to his liking and tells her he might change it for the better for Black Cat, too.

Elsewhere, Iron Man meets Spider-Man to train him, but doesn't really know how he supposed to do that. He takes him to his laboratory and shows him his armors and equipment. Suddenly his computer system Jarvis warns Stark about unknown energy surge in Soho. Iron Man and Spider-Man go investigate and arrive too late to stop the terrified of the Key's power Black Cat from giving it back to Mysterio.

In Queens, Mary Jane meets Gwen in front of Parkers' house and finds out that she and Peter are not a couple anymore. Both girls see a beam of light in the distance.

Mysterio destroys Iron Man's armor and then fights with Spider-Man and Black Cat for the Zodiac Key. Peter ends up with the artifact and accidently creates a vortex that causes more destruction to the neighborhood. Another fight breaks up and this time Mysterio emerges victorious, but before he can grab the Key, Tony rips up a piece of tech from his suit and says it's just a robot, with the real villain controlling him from somewhere, but he can't track him without his armor. Stark takes the Zodiac Key and leaves, Spider-Man starts helping people get out of the rubble, and Black Cat joins Peter.

25 – Peter is fired from Burger Frog because he hasn't been showing up for work. Then he receives the call from J. Jonah Jameson who asks him to come see him. Expecting trouble, Parker goes to Daily Bugle.com and finds out the editor wants to help him as much as he can, gives him back his old job and even offers to pay for his college. Peter doesn't accept that, but is satisfied with the notion of having a job he won't be fired from if he fails to show up for it because of being Spider-Man.

Later, Shroud fights a skater gang and Spider-Man helps her. Afterwards they talk, Peter finds out Kong left Kitty and transferred
to the University of Wisconsin, and then he asks her to his house for dinner. They stumble into a birthday party for Parker that he forgot about. Mary Jane gives him new web-shooters, a present from Tony Stark. Peter tells her he loves her and they become a couple again.

He tells Karen that if she's not able to do that, he'll have no other choice but to kill him, but Grant is certain it won't have to come to that.

04 – The Avenger known as Banner or Nerd Hulk asks Captain America if it's possible for him to join the Ultimates and get out of Triskelion. Steve replies it won't happen because he's a clone and cloning is illegal, and besides, he wouldn't be of any use to the team, because he can't fight. Later, Banner runs away to meet his favorite writer during his signing event, but is found by a mysterious vampire in an older version of Iron Man’s armor named Anthony. Nerd Hulk thinks it's Stark inside the armor, so he's taken by surprise and bitten.

05 – At the Mondrian Hotel in New York, Blade is enjoying some quality time with the ladies, when a group of vampires enters and asks if he wants to join their new ambitious leader, Anthony. He naturally declines and starts killing them. Then he destroys the females who turn out to be vampires too. He chases after one last vampire, while, unbeknownst to him, a figure wearing familiar armor is watching him.

Ray Connor, the new Daredevil, patrols the city reflecting on his recent training. He was blinded in an accident and as a result his other senses were heightened. Stick, Matt Murdock's teacher, took him under his wing, helped him to cope with his new abilities and started preparing him to fight vampires and their king, Anthony. Daredevil reaches the place where he was supposed to meet Stick, but finds him bitten by Nerd Hulk. Moments later, Ray himself is overwhelmed by other vampires.

Nick Fury finds out that Nerd Hulk is missing and tells Avengers to find him. Captain America arrives to join them on this mission.

Blade interrogates a vampire who tells him that Anthony plans to enslave super-heroes and turn them into indestructible vampire army.

06 – In the sewers under New York City, Nerd Hulk brings Stick and Daredevil (Ray Connor) to Anthony's hideout. Soon, Nick Fury, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Captain America and squad of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents go into sewers after the signal from a tracking device hidden in Banner's chest. They stumble upon Ray Connor and suddenly their lights are destroyed. When they break out flares, they see Rogers has already been bitten by Daredevil and they're surrounded by Anthony's vampires.

Anthony's armor's force-field is enough to stop the Avengers' weapons, but the vampire decides to retreat, unwilling to kill superheroes he could enthrall. The bitten Captain America is quickly taken back to Triskelion. Carol Danvers finds out that Steve was hurt, but Fury says it happened during one of his operations and has her kept away. She later talks to Black Widow and both realize that there's really not much they can do to stop Nick from trying to get back in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Anthony realizes that Nerd Hulk was the reason his hideout was found by Avengers. He uses his armor to detect the tracking device in Banner's chest, and then he removes it.

At the Triskelion, Blade breaks into the base and goes to the medical bay shooting people with
tranquilizing darts along the way. He knows he must kill Captain America before he's fully turned, but he's too late: Rogers wakes up, overwhelms Blade and bites him.

Blade recovers from the shock of being bitten and shoots Captain America. Black Widow shows up and is furious he shot Rogers, but vampire hunter explains he can't be killed now. Steve slips away in the confusion and Monica shoots Blade in the head and has his taken for questioning.

Later, both Starks arrive and Blade admits he's half-vampire, which is why Captain's bite didn't affect him. He also reveals that the bloodsuckers are currently being led by Anthony, his old teacher, who himself was turned and he plans to create an army of super-vampires. Gregory says he can track Anthony's armor's power source and tells Fury to assemble a strike force.

In Soho, the vampires are gathering for the battle. Anthony realizes Nerd Hulk wants to be the leader and accepts the challenge. Banner takes his head off with one punch and tells Stick to take the armor. Captain America arrives and Nerd Hulk feeds him with his own blood, glad that they'll have him on their side when they attack Triskelion.

The Avengers, some Giant Men and other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents get ready for action and are waiting for Gregory to find Anthony. Blade is surprised to find himself on the way to the holding cell and is told Fury doesn't trust him enough to put him in the field. Stark locates Anthony's armor inside the Triskelion, only now it's worn by Stick, who together with Daredevil surprises Tony while he's suiting up, and after dealing with Stark they find Blade in his cell. Outside, Nerd Hulk leads the army of vampires to Triskelion. They swarm and bite one of the Giant Men and then fight Perun until Captain America steps in and knocks him down. Steve cannot bring himself to kill the Russian, so Nerd Hulk breaks Perun's neck. Banner wants Fury to be next, and the already turned Giant Man shows him which building he's in.

Blade convinces the guards to let him out of his cell, but Stick blasts him with his armor's repulsors and forces him to retreat. Stick and Daredevil chase Blade through the base to the armory, where he picks up guns. They're useless against Stick's force-field and Blade gets blasted again and thrown outside. Meanwhile, the now-vampire Giant Man tries to grab Nick Fury, but his former partner knocks him out and plunges a fighter-plane into his heart. Nerd Hulk drags Fury outside and starts beating him. Daredevil prepares to kill Blade with his own sword. The super-soldier serum in Captain America's blood finally overcomes the infection and he uses Perun's hammer to teleport whole Triskelion to Iran, where it's daytime. Vampires start to burn in the sun. Blade finishes Stick with his sword, and Rogers hammers down Nerd Hulk. When it is all over, Gregory Stark tells them that he found Tony and that he is dying.

In Iran, Scott Lang, one of the Giant Men, is woken up by S.H.I.E.L.D. technicians and told how Captain America had defeated the vampires by teleporting Triskelion to Middle East, which caused an international incident and the United States has been given ten days to remove the base or a war will break out.

Black Widow gets back home and tells her mother, who was taking care of her son, Julius, that even though she heard on TV that Tony Stark was injured in the fight, he suffered brain tumor recurrence.

In Manhattan, Thor teleports Captain America and Iron Man from Iran and Tony is taken to the hospital. Carol Danvers and Gregory tell them about a raid on Stark's facility and kidnapping of experimental super-soldiers.

In the hospital, Tony Stark asks for his armor, because he has a feeling something's about to happen and he wants to be ready for it.

Captain America meets with Spider-Man and tells him to meet him at 1st Cavalry Forest Hills cemetery. There he says that he thinks Parker is not responsible enough to fight evil. The lesson is cut short when Steve is called back to the city to stop Nick Fury and Avengers. He warns Spider-Man not to follow him, and Peter heads home.

At Stark Industries, which is functioning as S.H.I.E.L.D.'s temporary New York headquarters, the new Captain Britain reports to Gregory Stark and Carol Danvers that the Triskelion has the capability to fly, but they still need to do some work before it's possible. Nick Fury and War Machine show up in the office to take Carol Danvers into custody, but Iron Man also arrives and engages Rhodes. Blade surprises Danvers, knocks her out, grabs her and jumps out of the building where Hawkeye is waiting in a car. Fury manages to escape.


Seeing the fight between Ultimates and Avengers on TV, the escaped villains think they should use the opportunity and get out of the city. Osborn disagrees and wants to go after Spider-Man. Doctor Octopus doesn't want that, which puts him and Norman at odds. They fight on the streets and Green Goblin kills Otto.

Unfortunately, it precludes using mutant talents in business, but Pietro presents a solution: he'll unite the homo superior, bring them under his protection, and then he'll sell them to Hanstead as slaves.

Later, in his penthouse, Pietro and Devon are celebrating their success. Suddenly Lensherr has a vision of Scarlet Witch and he tells her that he did what she asked him to, and now "five are fallen and one is soon".

Somewhere in Northern Germany, Reed Richards and his “Children of Tomorrow” create a giant Dome.

At the Triskellion, Nick Fury is getting a report on the state of world affairs. He receives reports that some sort of internal conflict is occurring within the South East Asian Republic and the conflict between Uruguay and Argentina is escalating. Fury is told that Clint Barton is about to be on the ground in South East Asia and a response team is almost on site in South America.


Clint Barton arrives on the ground at the Triskellion in Bangkok. The SEAR is experiencing some sort of internal conflict. Hawkeye is informed by S.H.I.E.L.D. soldiers about fights throughout the city and that two scientists that have asked for asylum.

Nick Fury’s agents tell him that EUSS has sent their super-soldiers to deal with Asgardians, who have been creating havoc as a result of their direct link with Midgard. On the monitors, Fury watches as the Excalibur team arrives in Asgard, where Thor invites them to a party. After Captain Britain declines, a fight starts. In South America, Iron Man, remotely controlled by Tony Stark from Tokyo, leads a team of Rocketmen to stop the Argentine fleet from reaching Montevideo.

Barton contacts Nick Fury who tells him that the Chancellor of SEAR has officially asked for help and they can go into action. Suddenly three Asian super-soldiers attack the Triskelion, but Barton manages to defeat them. He interrogates the two scientists and finds out about the Plan that has obviously backfired, with the People turning against the government. Fury orders Hawkeye to get him the Serum.

Suddenly Nick Fury loses contact with Hawkeye. Nick gets a call from Tony Stark, who has discovered that Argentinean ship is unmanned. He finds a thermonuclear bomb with a Stark Industries symbol on it. The bomb explodes destroying the remotely controlled Iron Man armor, and the feedback from its destruction stops Tony’s heart.

Meanwhile, the fight between Excalibur and Thor spills over into Germany, where they find Children of Tomorrow's dome. Captain Italy investigates and is pulled inside. Fury loses the feed, and even though he still has Black Widow, Spider-Woman and Hulk on stand-by, he doesn't know what to do next.

In Tokyo, after having been resuscitated by his new butler William, Tony dons one of his armors and heads for Paris, believing it was the Kratos Club who tried to kill him. Nick Fury contacts him and tells him he needs him in Northern Germany.

Although it was only closed for five minutes, a thousand years has passed inside of the Dome and Children of Tomorrow emerge to claim the outside world. While they fight Thor and Excalibur, one of the Children of Tomorrow, examines Captain Italy and although she sees he's been enhanced, she doesn't find anything about him to be useful. Then she gets to Thor and discovers he's a vessel of an unknown power the source of which is in Asgard. Reed Richards orders the Children of Tomorrow to take care of it and they head out. Thor and Captain France follow them, while Captain Britain and rest of Excalibur go back to their base to tell EUSS about the danger.

In Asgard, the gods are being decimated by the Children of Tomorrow’s attack. After Balder is killed, Odin orders Thor to make sure the son he had with Hela will be safe. Thor places Modi in the Room With No Doors and gives him Mjolnir. The Children of Tomorrow destroy Odin and the World Tree, thus depowering the Asgardians. Thor is grabbed by Iron Man and taken away, while the others are being finished off.


Jimmy Hudson breaks out of his cell and manages to liberate other mutants held by the Purifiers. The Purifiers begin to murder the escaping mutants. Jimmy is severely injured, but with the help of a human boy and his mutant centipede-like brother, Jimmy manages to escape.

At the White House, Valerie Cooper goes to see the President, passing by an angry looking Nick Fury on the way. She finds the President in the company of Quicksilver, who offers his help with preventing future mutant attacks by giving the government Cerebro.

All across America, the population is rioting in response to the news that the government created mutant-kind. Stryker readies his plan.

Kitty, Bobby, Johnny, and Rogue are heading back to their hideout, but Shroud doesn't believe Rogue's story about God telling her what to do. Kitty thinks she's having a nervous breakdown. They meet the human boy and his mutant centipede-like brother who helped Jimmy escape. He asks them to take care of his wounded friend, who is revealed to be Jimmy. After Jimmy regenerates, he tells the others they must save rest of captured mutants before Stryker kills them.

Meanwhile, Stryker's Purifiers begin murdering the first responders who are trying to contain the riots in the cities.

Valerie Cooper doesn't want Quicksilver's help, but he insists that his Cerebra is much better at locating mutants than S.H.I.E.L.D.'s outdated technology. Their discussion is interrupted by the news of Stryker's appearance in New York and his rallying of the rioters by telling them the government must answer for their sin of creating the mutants.

In Morlock City, seeing the television reports that Stryker has captured many mutants, Jimmy Hudson decides to save them. Kitty and Johnny argue about what Spider-Man would want them to do and she stays, while others go with Jimmy. She checks up on young mutant who tells her not to worry about Stryker hurting Rogue, because he saw them together at Purifier's base.


Hawkeye and a squad of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents are being led by the two scientist defectors to their laboratory which is hidden in the capital square. Along the way they evade the People and SEAR soldiers. They find the laboratory cleaned out and the scientists say it would take them a very long time to recreate the technology they would need to replicate the Serum. Moments later the People destroy Chancellor's palace, so Barton and his men retreat to the nearest safe house. There he contacts Nick Fury who tells him that the People declared SEAR their new home and are going to use the Serum to make all humans like them. Fury wants Hawkeye to stop them, but the Ultimates are otherwise engaged, so he's sending his X team and Hulk to help Clint.

William Stryker depowers one of the captured mutants and kills him for not repenting. Before he can do it again X-Men arrive, but Rogue betrays them for Stryker's promise of taking away her powers. He intends to fulfill his part of the bargain, but Shroud shows up and attacks Stryker.

Quicksilver convinces the President that he should use Cerebra to locate Mutant so that the Nimrods can apprehend them. Valerie Cooper believes they're missing something and researches Stryker. She finds out that he's actually a mutant with the power over machines, but her warning comes too late, as back in New York, Shroud’s attack has mortally wounded Stryker. Before he expires, he manages to take control of the Nimrods, possibly transferring some portion of his consciousness into them.


After sending Hulk to Southern City to serve as a distraction, Hawkeye, rest of X and several S.H.I.E.L.D. agents break in to the People's Northern City in the Southeast Asian Republic. Karen soon loses contact with Bruce, and later reads in the mind of one of the People the location of the Serum, which they now call the Source. There they find a guardian who agrees to give them some of the Serum, because, as it turns out, the People have plenty of it.

In the Southern City, the Hulk fights the People until one of them overpowers him and triggers his transformation back into Banner. He warns Bruce that the era of mankind is coming to an end.

The President and Valerie Cooper realize that all Nimrods are now carrying out Stryker's order to kill all mutants. Thanks to the upload from Cerebra they have each and every mutant's location. The President turns to Quicksilver for advice, but he's already gone.

In New York, Rogue sees that Shroud's attack killed Stryker and explains that her plan was to let him think she wanted to be cured and steal his powers when they'd touch. When the Nimrods attack, Kitty tells everybody to touch her so she can phase them. She manages to save most of the present mutants before robots go after targets.

In the People's Northern City, the super-soldier Kuan-Yin, now called Xorn, tells Hawkeye how he and his brother Shen received their powers from the Serum and led the People to revolution against the SEAR government. After they had won, they built the twin cities of Tian. Most of the People followed Shen, now called Zorn, to the Southern City, which became the home of more aggressive Eternals. Only 257 remained with Xorn and are now calling themselves Celestials. Kuan-Yin proposes they go to the Southern City and save Bruce Banner's life. They get there just in time and after calming Hulk down Xorn broadcasts the message to the world inviting everyone to live in Tian. Karen, Guardian and Liz Allen decide to stay, and so does Hulk. However, because he has killed Eternals, Xorn sends him to Tibet, to the monastery of Panchen Lama. Hawkeye wants to return to America and Xorn agrees to give him a sample of the Serum, but asks him if he thinks any good will come from that.

He runs there now and finds people who call themselves servants of God and tell him He is waiting for him. Pietro finds out that God is his father, who assures him that he loves him and is not angry with him for not doing all he was told to.

In Washington, DC, Valerie Cooper meets with Nick Fury to talk about leaving his mutant team, now called Runaways, in Tian, especially Karen Grant, who she knows is actually Jean Grey, the most powerful telepath on Earth.

As the meeting ends, Karen erases Valerie's memories of her whereabouts.

In Tian, Karen and her team rescue children from human traffickers. Afterwards she meets with Xorn and tells him Nick Fury still hasn't realized that it is actually he who is subject to telepathic manipulation and Karen really is in Tian.

At Camp Angel, when some of the mutants are found dead, Stacy X decides to take revenge, killing several captured soldiers.

He kills Colonel Lake and moments later a fleet of Stryker-controlled Nimrods arrives.

At Camp Angel, during Nimrods' attack Major Walker convinces Storm that he can help her. She frees him and his men, and then they gather as many mutants as they can and hide in an underground bunker. Asked by Ororo why the attack happened, he says that it wasn't a response to the uprising.

Thor teleports the fleet out of the battlefield, but afterwards returns to the City, alone.

Thor finds Captain Britain there, but before they can leave, Reed appears and wants him to pass a message to Nick Fury. The Asgardian attacks the Children, but the First Knife beats him. The Maker reveals who he really is to Thor and tells him that the City has finished its growth and all the land it has absorbed now belongs to the Children, and no human is welcome here.
