Synopsis for "Assault on a Mind Cage!"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Avengers #195
The Avengers, accompanied by Yellowjacket and Jocasta, huddle in the snowy woods just outside the Solomon Institute for the Criminally Insane. They are in search of the Wasp who went MIA after a patient from the institute, a disturbed man named Selbe, showed up at the mansion hysterically claiming that he was in danger. (The Wasp was the only Avenger to believe his claim.)

Since the team cannot enter without a search warrant, Cap has brought in Yellowjacket to do covert reconnaissance. He apologizes for having to send Hank in alone, but Yellowjacket informs him he brought his own back-up: YJ introduces the team to the new Ant-Man.

The pair of miniature heroes infiltrate the compound and are baffled by what they find: military-style barracks in place of patient beds, combat training with high-tech weaponry in place of therapy sessions, and an administration department that discusses “recruits” (mentioning that one candidate is an ideal prospect given his low I.Q. scores and violent disposition.)

When one administers remarks about filling an order for Dr. Octopus, Yellowjacket realizes what’s truly going on: the institute is a front for a training academy for the type of low-level flunkies that supervillains tend to employ.

Searching further, the two heroes find the Wasp being held under sedation. They knock out her guards and revive her, and she relates how she trailed the car transporting Selbe back to the institute. She overheard guards talk about preparing Selbe for some sort of operation, but she was knocked out by a gas attack before she could rescue him. Wasp is still dazed and Yellowjacket is just relieved she’s OK, but Ant-Man realizes that if Selbe’s prison cell was being monitored, then the Wasp’s cell is probably as well. It turns out to be a correct assumption as the trio are confronted by Dr. Solomon (who looks distinctly like an older version of Selbe), head of the institute, and more armed guards.

The three are taken to Solomon’s office. He relates that he has a terminal heart condition but also a rare blood type that makes getting a transplant difficult. Solomon had his lab techs create and force grow a clone of him (Selbe) in order to harvest his heart!

Disgusted by Solomon’s callousness, Yellowjacket and Ant-Man attack the guards. Although Solomon attempts to seize the Wasp to use her as a hostage, she easily decks him. The three set out to locate and free Selbe.

Outside, Wonder Man wonders aloud why they can’t just charge in, stating that, after all, they are… To which Ms. Marvel jumps to the conclusion that he intended to say “men” and then launches into a tirade about his sexist standards to him. Wonder Man then finishes his sentence saying he meant to say, “We are… her friends.” Ms. Marvel is left chastened.

As the team is waiting, they observe a unique hover-plane approach and land at the Solomon Institute. The man in charge has arrived!

Inside, Yellowjacket, Wasp, and Ant-Man knock out the guards outside Selbe’s cell. Wasp enters and tells him that they’re there to rescue him. But the Wasp is then surprised by the entrance of the Taskmaster, who has already subdued Yellowjacket and Ant-Man.

Synopsis for "They Strike from Space!"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Thor #131
Following their battle against Pluto in Hades, Thor and Hercules return to Olympus, where a joyous Hercules announces that he broke his Pact with Pluto to rule Hades in the Death God's place, much to the chagrin of Ares. Thor leaves Hercules to return to Earth so that he may be reunited with Jane Foster. What Thor doesn't know is that Jane Foster, under the hypnotic suggestion of her roommate Tana Nile, is leaving New York City to points unknown so that she does not get in the way of Tana's plans for Thor.

Tana Nile changes into her true form, that of a member of the alien Rigellian race, who plan on attempting to colonize the Earth. Now in her true form, Tana calls in her Colonizer Commander to claim full rights of the planet Earth. She tries to refuse the colonizer ship to come to Earth an inspect the planet because she fears a battle will occur, however the colonizers disagree, believing that other than their feared threat from the Black Galaxy, they are invincible to any other foes.

Thor meanwhile, arrives on Asgard to ask his father if he would be allowed to marry Jane Foster, willing to forsake his own godhood in order to do so. To Thor's surprise, Odin finally concedes and will allow for Thor to marry Jane, and still remain the God of Thunder. Filled with joy, Thor rushes to Earth, however when he goes to Jane Foster's apartment he is attacked by Rigeillian Colonizers led by Tana Nile. Tana explains that they have laid claim to the Earth and intend to colonize the planet. When Thor tries to strike, Tana Nile uses her vast mental powers to subdue him, however Thor attempts to resist. As he is being subdued, Tana Nile explains how they intend on taking over the Earth by threatening to use a device called a Space Lock to move the Earth closer or farther from the sun, and wiping out the human race with the extreme environmental changes.

Thor continues to resist, and the Colonizers are forced to use a "Proton Coagulant Ray", encasing the Thunder God in a block of solidified protons. They decide that since with the exception of the entity in the Black Galaxy, Thor is the only one able to resist their mind probes the Colonizers decide to take Thor back to their ship for examination. Before going they give Tana Nile a wrist-control device for the Space Lock and give her complete colonization rights to the Earth.

The Colonizers load Thor up into their ship and leave the Earth, however Thor manages to break free of the proton cube he's been sealed in. As the ship flies into space, Tana Nile activate the Space Lock device and encases the Earth in its energy. Thor meanwhile, confronts the Colonizers in the ship and find that they have strength that matches his own. However, Thor manages to best them in battle, easily knocking them out.

With the Colonizers on the ship knocked out, Thor decides to allow the ship to continue its course to the planet Rigel, so that he may stop the Rigellians from taking over the Earth.

Synopsis for "Public Relations"

Reprint of the 1st story from
New Avengers #15
The story starts with Carol Danvers being blasted by Ulysses Klaw, a sound-based supervillain. She has been called to chaperone his prison transfer. She discovers she can absorb Klaw’s energies and he is sucked into his sound converter, with a loud ending. A prison guard tells Carol about the New Avengers going public and she travels to New York.

Upon arriving, she wishes to talk to Captain America. She talks about the House of M incident. She confesses how amazing it felt to be a “real superhero”. Cap insists that she is a superhero; however Carol claims that there are levels – amazing superheroes, and everybody else. She says that she loved her House of M self, even though it was awful for many people. She says that she will attempt to be that person from now on.

Cap tells Carol that to him, she will always be a superhero, and that once an Avenger, always an Avenger. Carol decides to stay backstage for the unveiling of the team roster. Wolverine refuses to go onstage due to his brainwashing by HYDRA. Luke Cage seems apprehensive about the whole thing.

Iron Man tells the superheroes that they are soon to become icons. Spider-Man is adamant that he will be a liability to the team due to his bad press. J. Jonah Jameson then pays a visit to the Avengers, accompanied by Kat Farrell, and Robbie Robertson. He is suspicious of Spider-Man's presence on the team. Jameson makes a deal with Iron Man and Spider-Man that, provided he receives exclusive coverage of the New Avengers, he will stop calling Spider-Man a menace and a murderer.

The New Avengers prepare for the unveiling. They are all nervous. Jessica does not believe she should go out there, however Cap reassures her and offers to help her find who her enemies are. Cap makes a speech on how the New Avengers were formed, and then introduces them.

A day or so later, the Daily Bugle publishes an article on how the good name of the Avengers has been ruined by “a wanted murderer” (Wolverine), “an alleged ex-member of a global terrorist organization” (Spider-Woman), and “a convicted heroin dealer” (the falsely accused Luke Cage). He also comments on how the Avengers attempted to make him “bury the truth about that webbed, wall-crawling menace” (Spider-Man). Spider-Woman leaves.

At a pub, she is met by Connelly, who asks if the Avengers worked out her connection to Madame Hydra. Confirming this, she tells Connelly that she told them almost everything clearly. She also tells him that Nick Fury will be attempting to take down HYDRA with the Avengers in secret. Connelly says that this is good news, and also that Jessica has earned her life for another day.

Synopsis for "Secret Identities: Part One"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Young Avengers #7
At Avengers Tower, Steve Rogers, Luke Cage and Peter Parker discuss the Young Avengers' defeat of Kang the Conqueror and recent capture of the Shocker, and Rogers threatens to call the teenagers' parents again before opting to call "backup" instead.

On "the Upper West Side," Billy watches a television news report on the Young Avengers before Teddy arrives, encouraging Billy to reveal his superpowers to his parents. When he tries to, his parents assume that he is trying to come out as gay, and they show their unconditional support for Billy and Teddy's relationship.

On "the Upper East Side," Peggy Rae and Blake Burdick watch the television news report on the Young Avengers, and discuss the possibility that Cassie is "the Giant Girl" while Cassie eavesdrops on their conversation.

In "the Bronx," Elijah finds a plastic baggie in bureau drawer empty before heading out to school, lying to his grandmother about his activities the previous night. Before leaving the house, Elijah stops in to see his grandfather reading a newspaper article on the Young Avengers and crying proudly at Elijah's part in the team.

At Avengers Tower, Rogers meets with Tony Stark and Jessica Jones in a laboratory where Stark explains that the Vision operating software that has taken over the Iron Lad armor is "essentially...an incredibly powerful, super-intelligent...kid." Jessica suggests that outing the Young Avengers as superheroes to their parents may be unwise, and Rogers decides to contact the Bradleys himself while sending Jessica to speak with Peggy Burdick.

In "the Meat-Packing District," Cassie describes her mother and step-father's conversation to Kate Bishop before the two of them meet up with Teddy and Billy, and the four decide to head to Avengers Tower and stop Captain America from contacting their parents once they Elijah joins them.

On "the West Side Highway," Elijah spots a pair of drug-dealers heading into a warehouse and climbs onto the roof where he is ambushed by the dealers and crashes through a skylight into a drug-production facility.

In the Meat-Packing District, Teddy and Kate discuss the possibility that Elijah may have "done something stupid," and Billy casts "a locating spell" to track Elijah's whereabouts.

At the West Side Highway warehouse, Elijah wakes up to see the two drug dealers being beaten savagely by Mister Hyde.

In the Bronx, Rogers meets with Faith Bradley who greets him graciously and welcomes him into her home, while in the Upper East Side, Jessica meets with Peggy who is decidedly less enthusiastic when she realizes that Cassie has taken up her ex-husband's role as a superhero.

At the West Side Highway warehouse, Hyde chokes Elijah as Stature, Hawkeye, Wiccan and Hulkling arrive to rescue him. Wiccan is shocked to find Elijah bleeding, but Elijah flees into an adjacent room where Wiccan finds him about to inject himself with a dose of mutant growth hormone.
