After providing the Philippines with invaluable assistance during the crisis caused by a tsunami, the Triumph Division were honored with a statue in Plaza de Roma. At the public ceremony during which the members of the Triumph Division were commended, a group of suicide bombers genetically engineered by Ezekiel Stane disguised as monks approached the superheroes and detonated, obliterating the entirety of Plaza de Roma, including the Manila Cathedral. Iron Man later investigated the site of the explosion with Pepper Potts and War Machine.[1]
