Avengers Academy (2010 series) #16

Synopsis: In Dubai, Giant-Man is fighting the Absorbing Man, possessed by Greithoth, Breaker of Wills, and grown to giant-size himself. Meanwhile, Titania is now Skirn, Breaker of Men, fighting the rest of Hank’s team, smashing through Justice’s shielding; Quicksilver spins around her but he is easily knocked out of synch by a hammer strike to the ground. GM hoists Creel over his head but the baddie has absorbed Hank’s growing ability to keep growing larger—and Hank can’t drop him without devastating the city. Creel then wraps GM in his hammer’s chain and tosses the hammer on him so that it takes him down like Mjolnir would. As Hank shrinks to escape the trap, Creel smashes another huge building, killing thousands. Hank tears up evacuated buildings to make a doorway then calls Jocasta to send Creel through; he holds on long enough to touch hammers with Titania, unlashing destruction and then they are both gone, hurled into the Arctic. Hank collapses into the river….

They reach the surface and the mother runs to her daughter—only to be shot down by a Nazi war machine. Veil invades the machine and asphyxiates the operator. But all she can say to the little girl is “I’m sorry….”
