You hired me because I can see things that no one else can. The dangers hidden in plain sight. I saw the Skrulls. I saw the mutants. And I've been telling you: the Avengers are dangerous.

Synopsis for "Hit Back"
The Avengers join the fight against Orchis! Using the City’s teleportation technology, the team makes strikes on strategic targets, destroying facilities and liberating mutants from reeducation centers, transporting them back to base. Things are going well until Orchis’ Avengers correspondent the 3-D Man, embittered by his ousting from the Initiative during Secret Invasion, launches a Stark Sentinel attack on the city itself, where Yuna and many mutant civilians find themselves in new danger!
Solicit Synopsis
The FALL OF X comes for Earth’s Mightiest heroes!
The Avengers have hung in space over the Earth, a sword of Damocles over Orchis, for too long. But knowing they had only one chance to strike, they waited while Iron Man prepared. Now, on his signal, it is time, and the Avengers only know one way to strike: hard!Trivia
- The code names for the split Avengers strike teams are Mighty Avengers and Secret Avengers, referencing two previously existing teams.
