The U.N. recognizes the Avengers as a world power and the Avengers Mansion becomes the Avengers Embassy. Gyrich is assigned as the Avengers' official U.N. liaison.

The United States government is not impressed that the Avengers no longer report to them and ensure that Gyrich will keep them well informed.
