A team from the Blue, led by Peter Parker, has entered the
Iron to obtain valuable resources for Project Bellcurve; they are caught by a
cadre of Sentinels who kill Elektra. Peter twists one of the machine’s arms
around so the Sentinel blasts its own head off. Parker has to force Black
Panther (Azari) to continue the mission while Venom takes the time to recover
Daredevil’s billy club from Elektra’s corpse….
Jennifer Walters, attempting to enter Steeltown in the Blue
incognita, is mind-scanned by Professor Xavier and he confirms her (false)
identity. As she muses on that odd event she is recognized by an aged Robbie
Baldwin, Speedball…. Back in the Iron capital, Resilient Alpha, a pensive Tony
Stark asks Bucky Barnes if he thinks he (Tony) has failed. Bucky calls Tony the
best hope for preserving America.
After fighting a gang of robot guards, Peter Parker and his
team locate King Ock—some years earlier, Kingpin has removed Dr. Octopus’ metal
arms and stuck them on his own body; the arms, resenting this, fried Kingpin’s
brain and now the arms, bonded to Wilson Fisk’s corpse, design high tech for
the Iron. The monster knows they are there and attacks, they barely manage to
survive before Venom uses the billy club to smash Kingpin’s head in….
Jen Walters finally locates the killer of Miriam Sharpe
(issue #1) and it is Bullseye, who was always the chief suspect. Before she can
do anything, however, she is confronted by Robbie Baldwin, now a member of the
Punishers, the fearsome police force in the Blue. Jen instantly transforms into
She-Hulk, smacks down Baldwin and escapes; she is
blasted with advanced weaponry by more Punishers but (apparently) gets away….
Back in the Blue, Peter Parker turns over the desired
materials to Hank McCoy, mentioning that the mission cost them Elektra’s life….
Elsewhere Jen Walters finds herself in a sealed containment
tube, facing the Black Panther, T’Challa, who is supposed to have died in the
disaster six years earlier….
