Synopsis for "The Illuminati Return!"

Reprint of the 1st story from
New Avengers (Vol. 2) #29

It's the Battle of Anzio, January 22, 1944. The Invaders are pushing back against the Red Skull, specifically to demolish a robotic monstrosity he created. Namor brings the robot slamming down on the Skull, sending his troops into retreat. As Namor helps him up, Captain America thanks him. Namor states that they're brothers after all.

In the present, Cap has convened the Illuminati, hoping to convince Namor to end the dispute between the Avengers and X-Men. Iron Man and Doctor Strange arrive, believing that Namor won't come. As Professor Xavier enters, Iron Man makes a joke about his students. Xavier can clearly see from their minds that they are unconsciously blaming him for this mess, so he rashly suggests that they use the Infinity Gems to make the Phoenix disappear. Mr. Fantastic then appears, advising against it, for it'd only make things worse.

Iron Man then asks Xavier if he could convince Cyclops to stand down. The X-Men founder states that his own students, whom he taught to protect the innocent, are turning against his principles because of the Phoenix. Though he's willing to do whatever it takes to end this conflict, deep down he wants Cyclops to come to his senses and remember his teachings. Xavier then storms out.

Cap then asks Mr. Fantastic his opinion on the Phoenix. Mr. Fantastic points out that the Phoenix Five have done nothing but use their power to help the world. Cap remains firm in his belief that they cannot control it but Mr. Fantastic points out that the evidence speaks for itself. He asks all assembled if they are afraid that the Phoenix Five will lose control or that the world will be a better place without need for the Avengers. He also adds that the Phoenix may be tamed because of Iron Man's Phoenix-Killer armor. He then gets up to leave, stating that if things go south, then Cap has a point. Iron Man asks him if he's willing to accept that the world is changing this unnaturally. Mr. Fantastic confesses that he doesn't know what is natural anymore, perhaps he never knew. Yet he's ready for humanity to take the next step.

Strange and Iron Man decide leaves also, certain that Namor won't come. As Strange teleports away, Cap tells Iron Man that he ran the numbers in his head and it is clear to him that the Avengers will lose to the X-Men, so Namor is their best shot. Iron Man doesn't share his confidence and walks out.

Namor soon shows up, glad to see that this is not a trap. Cap attempts to convince him to end this war, asking him as a friend, Avenger and Invader. Namor responds that the world is changing for the better and because Cap is desiring to maintain the status quo, he wonders what his friend has been fighting for. Cap states that he's fighting against people who think themselves the superior race. Eyes then look to Cap's shield and Namor notes that he should have a trap ready. Cap insists he would never to that to a brother in arms. Namor agrees and states that it is out of respect for their friendship that he came alone, did not betray the trust of the Illuminati, not going to take him prisoner or harm him. He then remarks that they'd be more fond of those days of WWII. Cap is soon left alone in the room.

Synopsis for "Avengers Vs. X-Men (Part Eight)"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Avengers vs. X-Men #8

Namor is levitating above Wakanda, and commanding a giant wave to flood and destroy the city. In the Avengers hideout, Iron Man tries to convince the Thunderer to close the portal he created to access K'un-Lun, because of the danger it could represent Namor if he access to it. The Thunder denies, telling Stark what costed to bring the portal to existence, then Tony forces the Thunderer to enter the portal along him and close it, leaving every Avenger back for good; before leaving, Iron Man commands Captain America to use their secret weapon.

The Wakandans are in peril while their city is being destroyed. Black Panther swears to kill Namor for this. Captain America, on the other hand, is convinced that he could talk Namor down and that he's acting on Cyclops' orders, proving the Avengers right. However, Black Panther doesn't care about who's right or wrong and demands that Cap summon all the Avengers. Steve shouts "Avengers Assemble!" as the scene moves to K'un-Lun, where Wolverine and Hope (who entered the portal off-panel) are admiring the city, abruptly, Iron Man and the Thunderer arrive as the portal closes, Logan is informed by Tony about what changed their plans, Namor.

Back to Wakanda, Namor pitches himself to Captain America, but is slowed down by the latter's shield, and stopped by Iron Fist. Danny is repelled by Namor, who is instantly attacked by T'Challa. After blasting him, Namor warns the Panther about that he plans to kill him, and T'Challa does the same. After Namor remarks his supremacy of power, T'Challa tells him he was just distracting him, in that moment a dozen of Avengers attacks the king of Atlantis. He uses a energy field to repel them, but as soon as he shouts his battle cry "Imperius Rex!", he's brutally attacked by all the Avengers.

After a quick recover, Namor breaks Red Hulk's arm and proceeds to burn the rest of the Avengers. In that moment, from above, Thor is about to hit him with the Mjolnir. In the same time, in Utopia, Magneto alerts Cyclops about Namor's actions in Wakanda; immediately Scott announces his team's departure to Wakanda. When the scene at Wakanda in retaken, Thor just hit Namor with his hammer, both start hand-to-hand fighting as soon as Captain America calls the Scarlet Witch to act now.

The Witch and Namor start blasting each other, even with the Phoenix's weakness to Chaos Magic. Finally, both Wanda and Namor succumb, but Namor's seems to be more affected as the Phoenix Force manifests in a strange way.

Namor falls to the ground, finally defeated. Spider-Man tries to remark their victory, but Black Panther can't think of anything but the partial destruction of his nation. The rest of the Phoenix Five arrives, Namor's portion of the Phoenix force is taken away from him and it's bequeathed to the rest of his team, feeling more powerful. Captain America activates a device in his glove which opens a portal to K'un-Lun and he and the Avengers escape.

Following, Charles Xavier telepathically alerts Scott to stop his actions or he will stop them. When all the Avengers finally arrive to K'un-Lun, they reflect about the battle they have just waged. Hope asks Captain America what is the next step in their plan, but he seems totally troubled, as he doesn't know what else to do.
