Synopsis for "Mighty/Dark - Part 2: Deus Ex Machinations"
Loki watches both Dark and Mighty Avengers fight against the Absorbing Man/Crusher Creel. Osborn is concerned that since Creel has absorbed the power of the Cosmic Cube, he might be unstoppable. Henry Pym cuts in, pointing out that Creel may have the cube's power, but not its full abilities, because he's not cubed-shaped. Osborn dispatches the Sentry to attack Creel, while both he and Pym separately attempt to research the villain and the cube. However, Creel manages to warp the Sentry's reality, releasing the Void to fight him. He then punches Ms. Marvel, turning her back into Moonstone.
Meanwhile, Osborn and Pym have figured that Creel's signature ball and chain has been turned into a Cosmic Cube and race each other in Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S. to get to it.
Back in the Infinite Mansion, one of Jocasta's host bodies is attacked by a robotic bug, which infects it with the consciousness of Ultron.
Back outside Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S., Creel separated Mac Gargan from the Venom symbiote and turned him back into Scorpion. He then notices the two former Masters of Evil and is dismayed that they did not invite him to become an Avengers. The symbiote then attempted to bond with Quicksilver, who quickly asks Jocasta for options. Upon being told of the symbiote's vulnerability to fire and sonics, he does the latter.
Hercules attempts to throws the Vision at Creel, shattering his right arm. However, the cosmic radiation causes him to split into the original Vision and Iron Lad, who is still in love with Stature.
Both Osborn and Pym make it to the Cosmic Cube. The former knocks the Wasp down with a piece of debris, before gloating that the cube will give him everything he deserves. Pym tells Osborn he's already grabbed the cube and altered reality - after all how else could he have gained the power he has? The momentary doubt causes Osborn to pause, and Pym increases in mass and catches him with a headbutt before grabbing the Cosmic Cube-enhanced ball and chain to fight Creel.
As Osborn is taunted by the Green Goblin, Loki appears before him, giving him a sword that is magically enchanted to remove Creel's powers. As Osborn strikes down Creel, Loki enchants the reporters to admire Osborn for his deed. He then gives a speech before stripping U.S. Agent of his title. His teammates are outraged at this, whereas Pym is seeing something through his goggles. He then pulls his team out, before showing them that he saw Loki in the crowd.
Solicit Synopsis
"The Coming Darkness..." Part 2
Can the MIGHTY AVENGERS and DARK AVENGERS join forces long enough to -- we're sorry, we can't even pretend to finish that sentence. There's no way the MIGHTY AVENGERS and DARK AVENGERS are teaming up. They're gonna beat the living heck out of each other! The only question is: can HANK PYM stop the IRON PATRIOT before he harnesses the power of the Cosmic Cube?!
