Power-mad Phil Coulson
has used the Pandemonium Cube to create a world where he is President
of the United States and the heroes he admires, the Squadron Supreme, have
supplanted the ones he didn’t like, the overrated Avengers. Now he takes off in
his flying car with two fighter jets accompanying him to Wakanda where the two
teams are fighting to the finish….
Hyperion takes on
Thor, Power Princess battles Echo/Phoenix, Doctor Spectrum versus the new
Starbrand, Blur against Black Panther, Nighthawk versus Blade, and
Captain America goes after Coulson, ripping a hole in his flying car as fighter pilot
Carol Danvers is reluctant to shoot a guy wearing the American flag. Thor and
Hyperion slug it out, Panther slashes Blur’s legs so he can’t run but Blur retaliates
with whirlwind, Starbrand destroys the Power Prism leaving Spectrum in a fetal
position, Starbrand’s and Phoenix’s respective forces merge to wreck Power Princess,
but Coulson blasts Cap with the Cube (though Danvers clips the President with a
wing), Nighthawk electrocutes Blade, and Hyperion punches Thor out of sight.
Black Panther then takes on Hyperion and Nighthawk together. Coulson’s car crashes
to the ground, Cap decks Hyperion, Starbrand/Phoenix seize the Pandemonium Cube
and put everything right….
Things are back to
normal with most of the Avengers not having noticed the retooled world.
Spider-Man encounters a confused Hyperion. Blur, Spectrum, and Power Princess
are in custody, their identities unconfirmed. Nighthawk is on the loose, vowing
to restore the alternate world. And Mephisto has Coulson trapped inside the
Pandemonium Cube, having failed in his mission, which was to bring all 616
Mephistos together as the Council of Red for maximum mayhem….
