A gang of crooks are interrupted in their exercise by a new
costumed hero, the Yellowjacket; he beats them up and leaves them for the
police….
At P.S. 75, new teacher Luke Charles (the Black Panther’s
secret identity) wants to know more about the class misfit Delroy Watkins and
gets an earful about the dangerous kids and he is warned not to threaten the
status quo….
Hawkeye calls his lover Black Widow, trying to patch up
their relationship but she can’t talk as she is at work…aboard the SHIELD
Helicarrier. Director Dum Dum Dugan tells her to get back to work so she hangs
up on Clint but not before telling him that Jasper Sitwell will be visiting the
Avengers that evening….
Agent Sitwell arrives at Avengers Mansion with Special Agent
Carver from the Psych Department. They will be questioning the Vision as to
whether he allowed the Super-Adaptoid to escape (last issue). Hawkeye bursts in
and begins arguing with Sitwell and Black Panther explains to the SHIELD man
that they are hunting the fugitive android. Then the Avengers are summoned
upstairs…
…where they meet Yellowjacket, who broke in and tied up
Jarvis and now he’s demanding that he be inducted into the Avengers while
flirting with Wasp. The problem is that everyone knows immediately that it’s
Hank Pym in the costume. In the next room, Sitwell demands an explanation as to
Hank’s actions; Agent Carver suggests that Hank is suffering from schizophrenia
and advises them to humor him and play along with his pretentions to forestall
a complete breakdown. A distraught Jan thinks that would be abandoning Hank
when he needs them most; Panther suggests they continue to observe Hank and go
back to meet with Yellowjacket. The new guy also demands to be the new chairman
of the team and claims to have killed Hank Pym, further upsetting Jan. He fires
his weird gun at Hawkeye, Vision, and Panther and insists on taking Jan out to
dinner….
