Changes: Mighty Avengers (Cage) (Earth-616)

Revision as of 15:56, 10 February 2020

There's a word we use. Everyone who's ever served as an Avenger, we've spoken that word. Hell, it's a competition to say it. To shout it. Because it is that sacred to what we are and what we do. And that word is assemble. When we come together, we're stronger than when we stand apart. That's what it's always been about. We come together to fight what can't be fought alone. To defeat those things in the world that would drag us down. That would make us lesser. Those things no single hero can withstand. And by we? I mean all of us. When we make the effort to help those who need us-- to help each other, to be there for each other-- we are all Avengers. You are Avengers.

—Luke Cage^[src]

History

Infinity

When the Avengers left the Earth in order to fight the alien race known as the Builders, the Mad Titan Thanos took advantage of the situation and sent his Black Order to raze the world.

The Mighty Avengers assemble

When Proxima Midnight and Thanos' goons started wrecking havoc in the streets of New York, a group of heroes assembled to fight them. These heroes were Luke Cage, Spider-Man, Spectrum, and the mysterious Spider Hero.^[2] While Proxima was called upon by Thanos to return to him, his other general Eboy Maw had taken control over Doctor Strange and summoned Shuma-Gorath.^[3] White Tiger, Power Man and Blue Marvel joined the brawl against the monster, ultimately turning the tide and emerging victorious. The dust settled, and Cage decided to officially turn the improvised team into the Mighty Avengers.^[4]

Inhumanity

Once Thanos' invasion was thwarted,^[5] the Mighty Avengers established their headquarters in the remodeled Gem Theater, and also established a hotline, with the purpose of helping everyone and anyone who needed them.

The team's next adventure came to the Mighty Avengers when Kaluu contacted the Spider Hero (who would subsequently assume the mantle of Ronin) to inform him the Deathwalkers were going to get into the fallen Attilan, the Inhuman city partially sunk in the Hudson river. While a portion of the team headed to Attilan, Luke Cage and his wife Jessica Jones dealt with an attempted hostile take over from Spider-Man (who was the villain Doctor Octopus controlling the hero's body at the time).^[6]

While She-Hulk helped Luke and Jessica fend off Spider-Man's forces, the Mighty Avengers encountered a Hellhound sent by Lichidus of the Deathwalkers, who wanted to recover the Lost Talisman of Kamar-Taj from Attilan. With Cortex Inc. operative Quickfire was caught in the middle, the Hellhound was defeated, and Ronin escaped with the Talisman.^[7]

The Deathwalkers

Soon after helping the Ava Ayala control the spirit of the White Tiger in Blue Marvel's underwater base, the Mighty Avengers found themselves facing an attack from Blue Marvel's son, the Doctor Positron, who blamed his father for his brother's disappearance into the Neutral Zone, and attempted to open a portal to said dimension and rescue him, but failed.^[8]

Mighty Avengers (Cage) (Earth-616) from Mighty Avengers Vol 2 4

At the time the Avengers were investigating the murder of Uatu the Watcher, the minions of the Deathwalkers were able to subdue Blade after weeks of chase, kidnapping him and taking the Talisman of Kamar-Taj from him.^[9]

Even though the Mighty Avengers located Blade and arrived to help him, the Deathwalker's legion of servants provided a distraction so the heroes couldn't get to Deathwalkers before they could finish their ritual. The successfully-finished ceremony merged them together into the Deathwalker Prime, a creature with control over the four elements, thus power over the fifth: the spirit, which would be the key for it to destroy humankind.^[10]

However, the Mighty Avengers managed to get hold of the cup used in the ritual of merging, and using a similar procedure merged themselves into the Avenger Prime, which managed to destroy the Deathwalker Prime, mainly because unlike the Deathwalker, the different personas merged into it were truly spiritually bonded, while the personas composing the Deathwalker were fighting for control. Once the Deathwalkers were defeated, the Avenger Prime broke down back to being individual Avengers.^[11]

AXIS

Some of the members of the Mighty Avengers heeded the call for help to defeat the Red Onslaught in Genosha. The villain was ultimately defeated when Doctor Doom and Scarlet Witch cast an inversion spell that flipped the villain's moral axis. However, the spell accidentally affected the people in the scene as well.^[12]

Luke Cage became extremely materialistic, going as far as having business affairs with Jason Quantrell of Cortex Inc., and Captain America became an fascist who violently beat up criminals. When the new personalities of these heroes clashed with their teammates, they joined the Axis of other inverted Avengers.^[13]

Captain America and the Mighty Avengers Vol 1 3 Textless

The Axis confronted the Mighty Avengers, with the inverted Iron Man demanding them to disband due to their use of the Avengers trademark. After a furious battle, Iron Man decided to back off, pretending to the public that the confrontation had been a scheme of the Machinesmith.^[14]

Beyond Corporation

After the effects of the inversion had been reversed, Luke Cage pretended to still be his abnormal self in order to keep making business with Cortex Inc. to infiltrate the company and discover its secrets.^[15] When Luke and Jessica Jones confronted Quantrell, he revealed himself to be a member of the evil and powerful Beyond Corporation.

At the same time, Power Man and White Tiger had followed the trail of the murder of Gideon Mace, who had been turned by Cortex Inc. into a monstrous creature along with Quickfire.^[16] Meanwhile, Blue Marvel had been cryptically warned by his son Kevin from the Exo-Space (a dimension outside of reality) of a threat "from beyond."

Captain America, She-Hulk and Kaluu heeded a call for help from Power Man, who had been infected and turned into a similar monstrous creature shortly after White Tiger suffered the same fate. Luke and Jessica were teleported to the vacuum of space by "Quantrell," but they were rescued by Blue Marvel a few moments later. Once they were safe, they warned their teammates about Beyond Corporation, causing Blue Marvel to realize the meaning behind his son's message. Spectrum took the revelation of the threat of Beyond personally, as she had been manipulated by Beyond Corporation a few years before.^[17]

While Captain America held the line against his fellow teammates, who had been all turned into monsters, Spectrum confronted "Jason Quantrell" and distracted him for long enough that Blue Marvel was able to open a portal to the Exo-Space and send him back. Once "Quantrell" left the universe, the monstrous infection that affected the rest of the team disappeared.^[18]

Time Runs Out

When Steve Rogers and the Avengers set out to hunt down Iron Man and the Illuminati for hiding the the phenomenon of the incursions from the rest of the world, he reached out to the Mighty Avengers, who agreed to help him in capturing the Illuminati.

After weeks of attending the mass-panic caused when the existence of the incursions was made public knowledge, the Mighty Avengers were deployed in Spain, where the Illuminati had been pinned down by the Avengers. The squabble was interrupted by the Invisible Woman, who convinced the different parties to reach a middle ground and start working together.^[1] Adam Brashear used the opportunity brought by the truce to scold Mr. Fantastic and Black Panther for their actions with the Illuminati.^[19]

When the final incursion loomed, the Mighty Avengers were forced to close their headquarters, due to the inverted Tony Stark having used his team of lawyers to sue Cage for using the "Avengers" name. The former members of the team were called in to fend off the forces of the incursive Earth. Spectrum engaged in a plan to destroy the other Earth by turning into hard light and crashing into it at light speed. However, she hesitated when she was about to hit its surface after seeing a group of innocent kids playing, allowing the Maker of said Earth to capture her.

During the final hour, the members of the Mighty Avengers spent the last time in different ways. Captain America continued defending the Earth against the enemy forces, Iron Fist rescued civilians caught in the middle of the combat, She-Hulk helped strike against the other Earth, Power Man visited his family, White Tiger patrolled the city beating up criminals, Kaluu drank tea with Wong, Blue Marvel and his son worked in their lab trying to save the Earth, the Support Team answered the hotline comforting whoever called, and Luke Cage and Jessica Jones helped a homeless shelter.^[20]

Trivia

The team's name ("Mighty Avengers") came from the hashtag used in social networks to talk about it.^[4]

-When the [[Avengers (Earth-616)|main Avengers team]] left the planet in order to fight the [[Builders (Race)|Builders]], [[Thanos]] sent [[Ebony Maw (Earth-616)|Ebony Maw]] and [[Proxima Midnight]] to [[New York]], taking advantage of the situation, trying to destroy the city that Earth Mightiest Heroes call home. In the meantime, the [[Heroes for Hire]], lead by [[Luke Cage]], were fighting [[Plunderer]] and his goons, then helped by [[Spider-Man (Otto Octavius)|Spider-Man]]. There, the new and Superior Spidey argued with Cage and [[Power Man]] about the fact of being mercenary heroes. After Spidey criticized that aspect of Cage's team, [[White Tiger]] decided to leave it. After what happened with Spider-Man, Luke reconsidered the idea of building up a new team of Avengers. Suddenly, Proxima Midnight attacked the city, with Cage, Spider-Man, [[Spectrum]] and the mysterious [[Blade|Spider Hero]] defending it, replacing the official Avengers as an improvised new team. Meanwhile, Ebony Maw took control over the mind of [[Doctor Strange]], trying to exploit his power to summon a [[Shuma-Gorath (Earth-616)|demonic creature]].{{r|Mighty Avengers Vol 2 1}}
+[[File:Mighty Avengers (Infinity) (Earth-616) 001.jpg|left|thumb|The Mighty Avengers assemble]]
-Strange's master, [[Kaluu]], detected the power of his student, understanding what he was going to do and trying to stop him, doing everything in his power to make Strange realize he was part of a deception by another force. The Maw stopped him before he could do anything. Meanwhile, [[Uatu]] was approaching [[Blue Marvel (Earth-616)|Blue Marvel]] in his undersea basement, without directly interfering but letting Adam understand that something bad was happening, discovering he was trying to make him know about the alien attack on the Big Apple. In New York, the battle goes on, with Proxima Midnight utilizing his spear to apparently kill [[Spectrum]]. Then, Thanos' servant started to beat up Luke Cage, dropping him to the ground, without being hindered by Cage's virtual invulnerability. Seeing their heroes in trouble, the people started throwing bricks and bottles to the invaders, shouting "Avengers Assemble" while doing that, causing a reaction from Cage that answered Proxima's attack engaging a big fight with her. Watching how his servant was failing, Thanos called Proxima back, to let her pursue his mission in [[Atlantis]]. But when all seemed to be over, Doctor Strange, with The Maw, summoned the gigantic Shuma-Gorath, that came out of the ground in the middle of the city. In the meantime, Blue Marvel was arriving in New York to help fighting the menance.{{r|Mighty Avengers Vol 2 2}}

+===Inhumanity===
-While Shuma-Gorath was destroying the city, Power Man was trying to convince White Tiger to get back to the team, with Ava answering that she wanted her death to mean something. Victor told her that death doesn't mean nothing, but the way you live your life does. Then, Adam reached New York, piercing Shuma-Gorath in the middle of his eye, apparently killing him. Brashear introduced himself to Luke Cage, but Spider Hero intervened to say that the monster wasn't defeated, showing also some good knowledge of the magic-related dimension, with Blue Marvel asking him if they knew each other. Spider Hero answered cryptically, saying literally "from another life, Doc".
+Once Thanos' invasion was thwarted,{{r|Infinity Vol 1 6}} the Mighty Avengers established their headquarters in the remodeled  [[Gem Theater]], and also established a hotline, with the purpose of helping everyone and anyone who needed them.
-Afterwards, Spidey asked Adam to help him with Spectrum, that was suffering loads of pain after she was hitten by Proxima Midnight's Spear: acting in the Quark Level, thanks to his powers, Brashear discovered that the photons that Monica was composed of were being eaten by "Anti-Photons", effectively a particle that doesn't exist.
+The team's next adventure came to the Mighty Avengers when [[Kaluu (Earth-616)|Kaluu]] contacted the Spider Hero (who would subsequently assume the mantle of [[Ronin]]) to inform him the [[Deathwalkers (Earth-616)|Deathwalkers]] were going to get into the fallen [[Attilan]], the Inhuman city partially sunk in the Hudson river. While a portion of the team headed to Attilan, Luke Cage and his wife [[Jessica Jones (Earth-616)|Jessica Jones]] dealt with an attempted hostile take over from Spider-Man (who was the villain [[Otto Octavius (Earth-616)|Doctor Octopus]] controlling the hero's body at the time).{{r|Mighty Avengers Vol 2 4.INH}}
-Surprised, Blue Marvel then cured Spectrum with his power, integrating the Anti-Photons in Monica's electromagnetic spectrum, with her now able to transform into this new type of particles. Then, the demon revived, and with the help of Strange, always under control of The Maw, he started taking control over New York's people, with the Avengers trying to stop the whole thing without hurt them. Spectrum got an idea, copying, thanks to her light form, the symbols that were sealing up the demon, reinforcing the defenses and neutralizing for some time the controlled people. While that was happening, Cage, after talking with Spider Hero, got the solution to the Shuma-Gorath problem: Luke said to Power Man to canalize his power in White Tiger's body, feeding the [[Tiger God]] that gives her power, and utilizing him to defeat Shuma-Gorath, with the plan being successful, killing the [[Astral Form]] of the demon, with Spectrum giving his physical form the final shot.

-After the demon was defeated, and New York saved, reporter [[Kat Farrell]] started to ask questions to Spectrum, but Luke Cage answered them, saying that everyone is an Avenger when he joins another hero to fight against the threats that puts the world in danger. When the words "Avengers Assemble" are pronounced, everyone answering to them can be considered an Avenger. Finally, the Mighty Avengers were born. {{r|Mighty Avengers Vol 2 3}}

-After the invaders were repelled,{{r|Mighty Avengers Vol 2 3}} the heroes remained united and made of the remodeled [[Gem Theater]] their base, now with the purpose of helping anyone who needed them. In the meantime, [[Attilan]] fell into the Hudson river after being destroyed by Thanos' forces, causing the release of the [[Terrigen Mist]] in the atmosphere, that covered the whole world: several people with Inhuman genes developed super-powers. [[Jason Quantrell]], the chairman of [[Cortex Incorporated (Earth-616)|Cortex Inc.]], started thinking how to make the most of this situation, with the idea of creating a product able to give humans super-powers, and then sell it. For doing that, he needed Terrigen Crystals, and so Quantrell sent his security agent, former spy and brand new super-powered Inhuman [[Barbara McDevitt (Earth-616)|Barbara McDevitt]], alias Quickfire.
+Even though the Mighty Avengers located Blade and arrived to help him, the Deathwalker's legion of servants provided a distraction so the heroes couldn't get to Deathwalkers before they could finish their ritual. The successfully-finished ceremony merged them together into the [[Deathwalker Prime (Earth-616)|Deathwalker Prime]], a creature with control over the four elements, thus power over the fifth: the spirit, which would be the key for it to destroy humankind.{{r|Mighty Avengers Vol 2 13}}
-In Gem Theater, Spider-Man was discussing with Luke Cage about the leadership of the team and about how the team was going to work: with Cage not agreeing with him, Spidey left telling Luke he'll come back. Meanwhile, Doctor Strange's master Kaluu was talking with the mysterious Spider Hero, that said he couldn't let anyone discover who he really is because of the [[Deathwalkers (Earth-616)|Deathwalkers]], with Kaluu agreeing with him and saying that they must hurry to stop the Walkers. Then, Spider Hero asked to Cage something other to wear, with Cage's wife [[Jessica Jones]] giving him the costume of [[Clint Barton]], and him becoming the new [[Ronin]].
+However, the Mighty Avengers managed to get hold of the cup used in the ritual of merging, and using a similar procedure merged themselves into the [[Avenger Prime (Earth-616)|Avenger Prime]], which managed to destroy the Deathwalker Prime, mainly because unlike the Deathwalker, the different personas merged into it were truly spiritually bonded, while the personas composing the Deathwalker were fighting for control. Once the Deathwalkers were defeated, the Avenger Prime broke down back to being individual Avengers.{{r|Mighty Avengers Vol 2 14}}
-As the new team was created, [[Samuel Wilson (Earth-616)|Falcon]] decided to become a part of it. Initially thinking that Sam was sent by [[Steve Rogers]] to watch over them, Luke understood, talking with Wilson, that his desire to become part of the Mighty Avengers was true and without other purposes. In the Hudson River, the [[S.H.I.E.L.D.]] was trying to remove Attlian's ruins, with [[Maria Hill]] scolding via cellphone Agent Tremaine for the fact that the job wasn't proceeding. After the call was finished, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were someway manipulated by the Deathwalkers themselves, with the purpose of utilizing something hidden in Attilan's ruins to make "the four becoming one, and then let the human world end". Under the river, Quickfire got into Attilan's ruins, progressing with his mission. Meanwhile, Spidey and his [[Spiderlings]] came to the Gem Theater to face Luke Cage, saying that if he won't agree with him, he'll make him do it. {{r|Mighty Avengers Vol 2 4.INH}}

-Spider-Man's proposal was to give him the leadership of this new team, making them become the Superior Avengers, a personal Avengers team working in [[Spider-Island]] with Spidey's armament and with web-themed costumes. Jessica Jones answered his proposal with a punch in the face, starting a battle between Spider-Man and his Spiderlings versus Jessica and Luke, with [[Danielle Cage (Earth-616)|Danielle]] carried away by [[Dave Griffith]]. Spidey won the fight, imprisoning the couple and then menacing them to utilize his friendship with mayor [[J. Jonah Jameson]] to put all of them under arrest. But in that moment, [[Jennifer Walters|She-Hulk]] came down from the sky, destroying some [[Arachnaughts]] in the process, saying that she was going to denounce Spidey, that already have several law problems related with the people of New York not appreciating his new way of doing things. Octavius decided then to leave, saying he doesn't need them because he had the support of the real Avengers behind him, people that love his ideas.

-Meanwhile, Quickfire was still trying to find some Terrigen Crystals, but then she relevated something more powerful, that was revealed to be a [[Hellhounds (Earth-616)|Hellhound]], a three-headed werewolf servant of the Deathwalkers and sent by the three of the four walkers, [[Lichidus (Earth-616)|Lichidus]], acting in the shadows, searching a mysterious object, the Lost Talisman of Kamar-Taj. The beast attacked Quickfire while the rest of the Mighty Avengers reached the Hudson River to explore the ruins of Attlian, as the new [[Ronin]] was suspicious about some activities linked with the Deathwalkers: the former Spider Hero told to his comrades that probably Lichidus, one of the Walkers, took control of the agents thanks to his power to control water that is what most of a human body is made of. There, Falcon utilized his S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Super-Agent privileges to enter, with agent Tremaine under control of the enemies, and Lichidus telling him to let them enter, saying that the Hellhound will think about them.
+The Axis confronted the Mighty Avengers, with the inverted [[Anthony Stark (Earth-616)|Iron Man]] demanding them to disband due to their use of the Avengers trademark. After a furious battle, Iron Man decided to back off, pretending to the public that the confrontation had been a scheme of the [[Samuel Saxon (Earth-616)|Machinesmith]].{{r|Captain America and the Mighty Avengers Vol 1 3}}
+===Beyond Corporation===
-Inside Attilan's ruins, the Mighty Avengers found Quickfire, that utilized his powers of time speed distortion to make the Hellhound movement a lot faster, as Ronin was not able to dodge the attack of the creature, that apparently killed the mysterious hero, making Power Man outraged. With Ronin dead and Power Man and White Tiger occupied with the Hellhound, Quickfire focused on Spectrum, trying to slow her down with his powers. But Barbara failed in his attempt, not knowing the powers of Monica, that even slowed down by Quickfire was still faster that any other human being thanks to his abilities. Still not knowing what Spectrum was capable of, Quickfire tried to kill Monica with a gun, obiviously failing and resulting in Spectrum defeating her.
+After the effects of the inversion had been reversed, Luke Cage pretended to still be his abnormal self in order to keep making business with Cortex Inc. to infiltrate the company and discover its secrets.{{r|Captain America and the Mighty Avengers Vol 1 4}} When Luke and Jessica Jones confronted Quantrell, he revealed himself to be a member of the evil and powerful [[Beyond Corporation (Earth-616)|Beyond Corporation]].

-Miss Rambeau then focalized to the Hellhound, hitting him with all her power without any success because of the magical nature of the creature, that was defeated by the combined powers of White Tiger and Power Man, with Ava giving her Tiger God Chi to Victor, that then hitted with an incredibly powerful energy-punch that knocked out the Hellhound. After the end of the battle, Spectrum told to Power Man that Ronin was not dead, but simply left the place because he did what he had to do, and he doesn't believe in goodbyes. In the end, Jen and Jessica went somewhere together to talk about legal issues about the new team, and Luke opened the team service, inviting the fresh discharged Spiderling to come in and tell him what type of help they need after they asked him for it.{{r|Mighty Avengers Vol 2 5.INH}}
+Captain America, She-Hulk and Kaluu heeded a call for help from Power Man, who had been infected and turned into a similar monstrous creature shortly after White Tiger suffered the same fate. Luke and Jessica were teleported to the vacuum of space by "Quantrell," but they were rescued by Blue Marvel a few moments later. Once they were safe, they warned their teammates about Beyond Corporation, causing Blue Marvel to realize the meaning behind his son's message. Spectrum took the revelation of the threat of Beyond personally, as she had been manipulated by Beyond Corporation a few years before.{{r|Captain America and the Mighty Avengers Vol 1 6}}

-After the [[Johann Shmidt (Clone) (Earth-616)|Red Onslaught]] was defeated in [[Genosha]], with [[Doctor Doom]] and [[Scarlet Witch]] bringing back [[Charles Xavier (Earth-616)|Charles Xavier]]'s consciousness, some of the people that were in Genosha started to feel different, including both [[Samuel Wilson (Earth-616)|Captain America]] and [[Luke Cage (Earth-616)|Luke Cage]]. Cap decided to be more concrete and less tolerant with his enemies, while Luke started having business affairs also with [[Jason Quantrell (Beyond Corporation) (Earth-616)|"Jason Quantrell"]], only to make money.
+While Captain America held the line against his fellow teammates, who had been all turned into monsters, Spectrum confronted "Jason Quantrell" and distracted him for long enough that Blue Marvel was able to open a portal to the [[Exo-Space]] and send him back. Once "Quantrell" left the universe, the monstrous infection that affected the rest of the team disappeared.{{r|Captain America and the Mighty Avengers Vol 1 7}}
-After [[Dave Griffith]] and [[Soraya Khorasani (Earth-616)|Soryaya Khorasani]] joined the team, [[Peter Parker (Earth-616)|Spider-Man]] came back to the Gem Theater to apologize to Cage for what happened with Luke's daughter [[Danielle Cage (Earth-616)|Danielle]] when [[Otto Octavius (Earth-616)|Doctor Octopus]] took over his body and became the [[Superior Spider-Man]].

Spectrum engaged in a plan to destroy the other Earth by turning into hard light and crashing into it at light speed. However, she hesitated when she was about to hit its surface after seeing a group of innocent kids playing, allowing the [[Reed Richards (Earth-1610)|Maker]] of said Earth to capture her.
-At Avengers Tower, Tony and Cap are monitoring these events and criticize the Mighty Avengers on how they stopped the Fast Five and decide to unleash "[[Axis (Avengers) (Earth-616)|the hammer]]" on them. Back at the Gem Theater, Luke Cage reveals to the entire roster that he sold the Mighty Avengers, leaving everybody shocked. Monica is enraged by this and demands why he didn't consult her, to which Luke angrily responded that it wasn't her business and that he started the idea of the Mighty Avengers. Adam then criticizes Luke on his behavior and walks away and Monica asks Luke on whom he sold the Mighty Avengers to, and Luke revealed that he sold it to Cortex Incorporated. The entire team is outraged and they remind him of what crimes Cortex Inc. has done recently.
