The workers at Damage Control are on strike and this during a
very busy season because of the supervillains' latest schemes against the
superheroes. The Daily Bugle building is off its foundations and Bart comes up
with a plan to resettle by using non-union labor. The new owner, Michael
Souris, refuses to spend the money. Meanwhile, John Porter has an idea....
Meanwhile, Rob Washington, fired from his Port Authority job
for letting the George Washington Bridge collapse (Vol. 2 #1), is summoned to a
meeting with a mystery villain (we can all tell that it's the recently fired
Gene Strausser) with revenge on the brain....
John and new intern Robbie “Speedball” Baldwin meet with
Captain America about having some of the Avengers go to work repairing property
damage for DC. Cap can only spare She-Hulk....
Meanwhile, new executive Ray Lippert has an idea for
replacing Avengers Mansion in its original place. Wasp tells Ray this had
better work as a fleet of helicopters picks up the Mansion....
As She-Hulk is trying to pull the Bugle Building back into
place using an elaborate harness created by Fabian Stankowicz, she is attacked by Gene and Rob wearing cumbersome
armored gear (and they are unable to think of good villain names for
themselves). They give her a rough time while slowly knocking the building
around and Shulkie longs to have her old writer Tom DeFalco back. Seeing her in
trouble, Robbie intervenes as Speedball and clobbers the two baddies who are
unmasked as Gene and Rob. Jen goes back to pulling the building, only to have
it tip over on its side....
As the copters are carrying Avengers Mansion back to it
place, the cables break and the mansion drops back into the river.....
At DC HQ, boss lady Robin Chapel is in a snit over all the
screw-ups and so calls Mrs Hoag for advice; the ex-boss lady is busy with
Comptroller Albert Cleary and Nick Fury who assures her he can carry out
Albert's plan....
