Synopsis for "Infinite Avengers"
Due to the unleashing of the Watcher's eye, various secrets related to the superhuman community have been unleashed. One of the effects of this was the restoration of Captain America's memory, which had been tampered with by the Illuminati. As Steve lies sleeping, he has a nightmare in which he remembers the events that were removed from his memory.
Some time ago, Steve and the rest of the Illuminati were summoned by Black Panther, who revealed to them the existance of the incursions, events in which parallell universes collide with each other with each universe's planet Earth as the point of impact. Steve feared that the Illuminati would become open to destroying the other planets colliding with theirs as the lesser or two evils, and attempted to steer them away from this. He suggested instead that they assemble the Infinity Gauntlet and use its power to avert the next incursion.
Using the gauntlet, Steve succeeded in pushing away the other Earth, but the Infinity Gems were destroyed in the process, with the exception of the Time Gem, which disappeared. Despite the destruction of the gauntlet, Steve was adamant in refusing to entertain the prospect of destroying another world. When the discussions reached an impasse, the rest of the Illuminati decided that the only way forward was to erase Steve's memories of their existence and exclude him from the group.
In the present, Steve now awakens from his nightmare and goes to find Hawkeye and Black Widow. The pair are monitoring various surveillance networks in search of the Tyrant Avengers, who seemingly vanished without a trace following their battle against the Avengers of Earth-616. Steve interupts them, telling them to come with him and to follow his cue, as they have a traitor to confront; Tony Stark.
Thor is already waiting for them outside of Tony's lab, and despite being asked to come alone, he has also brought Hyperion and Starbrand with him, fearing that Steve's temper might cause him to lose control of the situation. On Steve's order, he breaks down the door, as the group confront Tony. While Tony initially talks around their intrusion, Steve quickly reveals that he remembers everything. He asks Tony if they have killed a world already, and before Tony can answer, goes on to ask whose moral code cracked first. When Tony retorts that Steve's moral code was the first to crack, Steve breaks his nose.
Hawkeye holds Steve back, demanding answers as to what's going on. Steve reveals the truth behind the incursions and the Illuminati's re-formation, accusing Tony and the Illuminati of blowing up parallell worlds to save their own. Tony tells them that it hasn't come to that yet, at least not in the way that Steve means, but that it might. He proceeds to power his workshop on, revealing a myriad of armed Iron Man Armors before asking Steve if he's going to continue his beligerance or if they're going to calm down and talk about what's happening. Still angry, Steve accuses Tony of simply using him and the other Avengers, and Tony admits that he did, and asks what they're going to do about it. Steve retorts that he's going to beat him bloody, prompting a brawl between the Avengers and Tony's armors.
The fight is interrupted by the sudden appearance of the Time Gem, which appears in Steve's hand only to fracture and break, catching the assembled Avengers in a white flash as they awake 48 years in the future.
