Reprint of the 1st story from
Avengers #81

As Goliath, Vision, Scarlet Witch, and Red Wolf fly to Arizona to deal with Cornelius Van Lunt, the other Avengers continue their research into the Zodiac organization, however, the Black Panther departs to resume his responsibilities as a school teacher in his civilian guise.

Arriving in Arizona, the other Avengers are attacked by another craft piloted by a robot, even though the Vision manages to destroy the craft, he fails to prevent it from shooting down his friends' ship. Searching for the others, he only finds an unconscious Scarlet Witch, and the two are soon captured by armed thugs and taken to Van Lunt. While elsewhere, Goliath and Red Wolf have survived the crash as well and have returned to Red Wolf's village to rally the support of his people. However, they too are attacked by Van Lunt's armed goons, but the two heroes easily defeat them and learn the location of Van Lunt's home.

Arriving there, they must battle the Vision (who is being forced to help Van Lunt because he is holding the Scarlet Witch hostage.) During the battle, the Scarlet Witch regains consciousness and turns the tide of battle with her hex powers, with the Witch free the Vision, Red Wolf, and Goliath make short work of Van Lunt's men.

In a final battle between Red Wolf and Van Lunt, both are presumed to be killed in a rock slide near a raging river. Recovering only Red Wolf's mask, the Avengers return it to his people. However, they soon find that Red Wolf survived as he returns to the village in his civilian guise of Will Talltrees. With his people avenged, he has no reason to be the Red Wolf anymore and he and his people set to reclaim their land.

Synopsis for ""Hostage!""

Reprint of the 1st story from
Avengers #82

The entire city of New York has been captured and is being ransomed for a billion dollars by the Zodiac member named Aries and his private army. He has successfully captured Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, and Quicksilver, and most of New York's other heroes are unable to get into action to fight off Aries' army. With Vision, Goliath, and Scarlet Witch stuck in New Jersey, the only remaining Avenger that is free is the Black Panther.

The Panther seeks out the only ally he has, Matt Murdock, whom he knows is really the costumed crime-fighter known as Daredevil. Helping Murdock fight off a group of Aries' private militants, the two team up to save the city. Tracking down Aries to his secret lair, the two heroes are unable to match the power unleashed by the Zodiac Key which Aries is harnessing as a weapon and the two heroes are forced to retreat.

The next day, the people of New York are herded to Madison Square Gardens to witness the execution of the captured Avengers. There, in his civilian guise of Matt Murdock, Daredevil incites a riot by rallying the people against Aries and his army. The riot is quickly broken up and Murdock is taken to Aries to be executed as well. Murdock uses this as a means to get close enough to the Avengers to free them using his radar sense and firing a cable line from his billy club.

With the Avengers free, they make quick work of the militants, but Aries escapes to set the force-field keeping New York hostage to close in itself and crush everyone in the city, however, this is stopped by the magic power of Thor's hammer, presumably killing Aries in the process.

With Aries' army rounded up by the US Military, the Avengers and Daredevil return to Avengers Mansion, where the Vision, Goliath, and Scarlet Witch recount their adventure in Arizona. After wrapping up their catch-up session, Daredevil pays his leave to the Avengers.
