Avengers Unity Division

Eight months passed, and Emily, now going by the name of Synapse, became a member of Commander Steve Rogers's Avengers Unity Division as a representative of the Inhumans. Despite being unprepared for the public eye and life as a super-hero, Rogers insisted that Emily stay with the team and vouched for her abilities, even though there was some tension with fellow member, Rogue, who was a mutant. Synapse's first battle as an Avenger was against the Super-Adaptoid.

During the scuffle she tried to read the adaptoid's mind but to no avail, so she used her telepathy to control a flock of pigeons to attack it while the rest of the team were able to finish it off for good.^[2]
