Human Torch recalls how he had identified with Pinocchio and
his desire to be a real boy; he realizes that humanity would never accept an
android as human so he is now leading the Descendants to rise up and merge with
the human race….
In Earth-666, Hawkeye, Beast, and Captain Britain are
fighting three of the Avengers of the Undead, Franken-Castle, Mummy Thor, and
Vampire Wolverine. Hawkeye uses a Sunburst Flare arrow to destroy Vampire Logan
and the heroes escape. Cap B explains that his father had created the
Descendants, using the Orb of Necromancy to give them true life. Now the robots’
Event is coming near and they reason that destroying the Orb would kill the
Descendants. Hawkeye objects as the Avengers do not kill so the Orb is only a
bargaining chip. Captain B has an idea how to get home….
Black Widow and Venom climb the tallest building in the Core
to enter the Descendants’ HQ; they don’t realize they have been spotted by
Black Ant….
Meanwhile, Father and his allies have marched into the
United Nations Building where he announces to the Assembly that they are the
first of a new race of sentient machines and they demand recognition of Bagalia
as their homeland. He explains that the human race will join them after their
bodies have been augmented with nanotechnology, bringing them immortality—and then
a phony human’s head opens up, releasing a mist, spreading nanomites through the
room, converting them into Descendants….
The Avengers (Captain America, Thor, Ms. Marvel, Vision,
Iron Man) get word of this and then Vision starts to break down, detecting the
coming of the Descendants. And then a giant Sentinel attacks Avengers Tower.
Another one assaults the Baxter Building where Reed Richards and Thing are
stranded. Spider-Man and Daredevil fight robots in Times Square as multiple
robot sleeper agents release the nano-mist all over the world….
