Synopsis
Iron Man sneaks into New Attilan in stealth mode to kidnap the Nuhuman Ulysses, who he blames for the death of his friend James Rhodes/War Machine last issue. But Captain Marvel warned Queen Medusa he might do this and so she's been keeping watch. Her control of her hair is so fine that she manages to invade the Golden Avenger's armour and starts to suffocate him to unconsciousness. But an electric shock knocks her out.
However Medusa has backup - Crystal, Human Torch, Iso and Karnak confront the armoured hero. IM is prepared for Karnak's assault, but when Crystal hits him with lightning he explodes! Beast has joined them and says that was a decoy armour. The real Iron Man has escaped with Ulysses.
Maria Hill has come to the Triskelion to complain that Tony Stark has created an international incident by invading the Inhuman nation. Captain Marvel suggests she send a SHIELD squad to Stark Tower. Nobody thinks that Tony will actually be there, but Black Panther opines that the Inhumans will go there to make a point (and to keep fanatical Karnak under control).
He's right. The above group plus Flint, Grid, Reader and Triton invade Stark Tower. Karnak has a frustrating argument with the AI Friday and threatens to destroy the building. Captain Marvel, Black Panther and Maria Hill interrupt, and they've brought along Spectrum of the Ultimates, Captain America (Sam Wilson), Thor (Jane Foster) and Vision of the ANAD Avengers plus loads of SHIELD Agents. Carol Danvers manages to calm things down, and gets Medusa to agree to let her squad try to retrieve Ulysses before escalating to war.
Tony Stark has Ulysses tied up in some hidden lab somewhere. He blames him for Rhodey's death because it was on a mission (in the Free Comic Book Day CWII issue) to stop a threat that Ulysses had predicted. He wants to know how the Nuhuman's power works so he's got Friday monitoring Ulysses' brain. But the guy can't control when his visions occur (only what he looks for when he gets 1).
Stark is determined to see if he can stimulate 1. He taps the side of Ulysses' head. Then pretends to be about to hit him. Friday notes the effects. Tony also explains that he's hired Jessica Jones and Dakota North to investigate his life and family. He wants to check if they affect what visions he gets, or what he reads from them.
But Captain Marvel's squad have found them already. Beast has accompanied them, and I also see Ms Marvel, Nova and Spider-Man (Miles Morales) of the ANAD Avengers, Blue Marvel of the Ultimates and Hawkeye (plus others I'm unsure of including someone who looks like Rogue, and according to comicbookdb.com Ms America). Tony releases Ulysses from his bonds, to make things look better, and tells him he can continue to run tests on a digital copy of his brain that Friday has made.
Stark tries to downplay what he's done when he meets CM & co. During the ensuing argument Ulysses has a vision. This time those with him experience it too. They see a giant Hulk standing over the bodies of CM, Hawkeye, IM, Thor and Captain America (Steve Rogers) amid a scene of destruction.
Later Carol Danvers goes to see Bruce Banner.
