Rating:
Deathlok's time portal has taken our heroes from the Hyborian Age to 2099 where they were immediately attacked by Punisher 2099 (Jake Gallows).
However this issue begins with a flashback to 2022 where 2 Alchemax scientists are studying what looks like 1 of Deathlok's arms found in the wreckage of the Madbomb incident (presumably our #1).
But we leave that teaser and rejoin our gang running from Punisher and his heavily-armed flying machine (independently controlled by an AI). Deathlok's temporal circuits currently don't have enough power for another time jump. Gallows is after them because they include a Deathlok.
Meanwhile we learn that that our heroes are being observed by someone who recognises Dane Whitman (Black Knight), Daredevil (currently Elektra) and a Hulk, and deduces that they are time-travellers. He orders a team to find and kill these Avengers and bring the Deathlok to him.
Cloak has managed to transport them to a temporary hiding place where a holographic AI named Lyla pops up to give them (and us) useful information. Jake Gallows became Punisher after his wife and son were killed during the Lotusland offensive. He took revenge on the Cyber-Nostra for that, and continued on from there.
The team make there way to the ruins of Avengers Mansion where believers await the Avengers' return. But they are attacked by a troop of Deathloks serving the Machine Empire of the Prime Deathlok. At that point Punisher catches up with them but decides that any enemy of the Deathloks is a friend of his. He and our DL hold off the robotic foe while the rest of the team enter the Mansion to find weapons.
Elektra flies out using Archangel's metal wings. Black Knight finds his Ebony Blade which he's reluctant to pick up again. Cloak has Dr Octopus' metal arms. Anti-Venom drives the Spider-Mobile while his passenger Dagger wields Dr Spectrum's Power Prism. Weapon H has Absorbing Man's wrecking ball. BK rides a dragon-like version of his old atomic steed and has the Blade plus a power-lance. The Deathloks are all defeated and Gallows tells our Deathlok that the Prime Deathlok is Ultron.
