Spider-Man Cat's Cradle: Felicia Hardy was an average college student, but when she is sexually assaulted at a college party, her life enters a downward spiral that she never recovers from. Though her initial rape was prevented by another man, fate seemed to have another idea, as this man then attempts to rape her as well. Swearing off men forever and dropping out of college, Felicia decides to follow her father's footsteps and become a criminal, amassing enough wealth to create her own secret identity: the Black Cat. But when this jewel-thief villainess encounters the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, she betrays her fellow thieves, claiming to be a superheroine who was working undercover with the thieves. The two then go their separate ways, but a single meeting isn't enough for Felicia, who quickly uses her criminal connections to stage more robberies so that she and Spider-Man can meet once more.
However, when Spider-Man doesn't appear for a fifth time in two weeks, Felicia's old male-hating tendencies arise and she declares her hate for Spider-Man and vows to return to her criminal ways. She then is given an opportunity by Wilson Fisk to change her luck, something she graciously accepts. After she has been experimented on, hoping her new luck altering abilities can fix her relationship with Spidey.
Despite her hope, during their next encounter during a staged robbery, she learns her luck controlling powers can only cause bad luck, as she learns when Spider-Man's web breaks and lands him into her claws, impaling him. In shock, Felicia leaves Spidey at the warehouse, returning to Kingpin to try and have her curse removed, only to be offered an ultimatum: Rob a museum containing a priceless amulet, and only then, can her luck be changed. Black Cat then agrees and tries to steal the amulet, only to learn Spider-Man was tipped off on her whereabouts. The two then duke it out throughout the museum, with Felicia eventually resorting to using her powers to incapacitate Spider-Man. But when she returns to Kingpin with the amulet, he explains that she was merely a pawn and that her powers can never be cured.
With her life ruined, Black Cat leaves one final message for Spider-Man: the location of Kingpin. This culminates in Spider-Man attacking Kingpin and delivering him to the police, where he sees that Black Cat has turned herself in. With her life in bars assured, Felicia says goodbye to Spidey forever, hoping that her bad luck will never be able to hurt him again.

Captain America The Sins of Hydra: Captain America must once more fight the looming shadow of Hydra, but not in the way he expects: this time in the form of the Sisters of Sin, a group of enhanced women working for Hydra composed of Sister Sin, Sister Death, Sister Pleasure, Sister Agony, and Sister Dream. During a Hydra base infiltration spear-headed by Captain America's strike team (Falcon, Agent 13, Hawkeye, and Black Widow), the Sisters of Sin ambush the team and are able to critically injure Black Widow. Though Cap is able to save her life, he is unable to learn the identities of the Sisters of Sin, and is forced to retreat with the team.
Back at the New Avengers Facility, as Black Widow is healed, Sister Sin breaks in to finish the job, only to be stopped by Ant-Man, who had hidden in the room for security purposes. Though Sister Sin is able to escape, Ant-Man is able to place a tracker ant on her, revealing her location to be a small island in the Caribbean. The strike team, with Ant-Man taking Black Widow's place, then heads to the island, where they learn the true identity of Sister Sin: Sinthea Shmidt, daughter of the Red Skull. When the team reaches the center of the island, Sinthea and the Sisters of Sin ambush them, which allows Sinthea to reveal her life story.
Before World War II, Red Skull secluded himself upon the island to focus on his research alongside Arnim Zola. However, this was not their only intention, as Red Skull sought to create an heir to his legacy, and impregnated one of the maids that worked in the compound. But when the heir was born a women, Red Skull had her isolated on the island, leaving her forever. During that time, Sinthea trained to become the ultimate assassin, but when she learned of the Allies' victory over Hydra, a chip implanted in her at birth took control, forcing her to cryogenically freeze herself so that she may one day revive the Red Skull Dynasty. Over ninety years later, after Red Skull was revived by the Infinity Gauntlet, the man returned to the island and thawed out Sinthea, giving her new life and a new purpose: Destroy Captain America. Thus, Red Skull imbued his daughter with super soldier like powers, completing her transformation into Sister Sin. But by the time her transformation was complete, Red Skull had once again been killed by Captain America. So, Sinthea assembled a team of women she imbued with powers, creating the Sisters of Sin.
Back in the present, as Sinthea finishes her tale, she reveals her secret weapon: the body of the original Captain America, Steve Rogers. Using her father's technology, Sinthea transfuses Captain America's blood into her own, granting her his super soldier abilities. However, what she didn't expect was that with her regenerative powers in her blood, Cap's cells regenerated, bringing him back to life, albeit without the super soldier serum. Now an aged old man, Steve Rogers bears witness as his best friend, now wearing the suit Cap once wore, is beat into submission by Sinthea.
But from the shadows comes the rest of the strike team, fresh off the defeat of the other Sisters of Sin, who are able to protect Bucky long enough for Steve to escape his pod and grab Sinthea. Steve then places her into his pod, with himself entering the other pod, transferring the serum once more to Captain America, returning him to his pre-Infinity War age, and aging Sinthea to a feeble old husk. With Steve Rogers alive once more, Bucky asks if Steve will return to the Avengers, something he ultimately declines. Steve then explains that he is no longer Captain America, and that Bucky is the rightful heir to the lineage. Bucky then inquires where Steve would go, and Steve, not really knowing, has no answer. Thus, Bucky decides to set Steve up as a combat teacher at Avengers Academy.

Agents of Atlas The Siren Song: Jimmy Woo, Gorilla-Man, 3-D Man, Namora, Venus, Marvel Boy, and M-11 return as the Agents of Atlas, using their terrorist empire to destroy other terrorists. But as the team assaults pirates in Somalia, Namora witnesses Venus using her voice to call the pirates towards nearby rocks, forcing them to crash into the rocks and perish. Though Namora ignores this for the rest of the mission, when the team returns to the Atlas Foundation's headquarters, she simply can't remain silent about what she saw. She then tells the other Atlas members the truth: that Venus isn't really the Olympian Goddess of Love that everyone thought she was. In reality, Venus was a siren, a mythical being that would lure sailors to their deaths with the sound of her voice.
Ashamed of her past, Venus lulls her team into a trance, except for M-11, who she short-circuits. When Jimmy Woo and the rest of the Agents of Atlas awaken, along with seeing that Venus is long gone, the team reboot M-11, only to accidentally reveal its true objective: Create and join a team to overthrow Yellow Claw, then slowly cause dissent in the group, allowing another to take control of the Atlas Foundation. Angered at the betrayal, Marvel Boy attacks M-11, but is stopped by Namora, who claims that M-11 wasn't following his orders, as he had caused no dissent among the group. Marvel Boy disagrees, and attacks Namora, who M-11 defends. During this conflict, 3-D Man and Gorilla-Man enter the brawl, with only Jimmy Woo staying uninvolved. By the end of the brawl, Namora has quit the team in anger, while Gorilla-Man plans to return to Africa. Marvel Boy then rockets off into the sky to return to his people, while 3-D Man, Jimmy Woo, and M-11 stay behind.
However, with the three now alone, the industrial saboteur known as the Ghost arrives, hoping to finish the mission M-11 started. Yet, to his surprise, M-11 instead attacks him, ignoring his prime directive to protect Jimmy Woo. The three then fight Ghost, eventually restraining him. He then reveals that he works for the same person who reprogrammed M-11 in the first place: Jade Claw, daughter of the former Atlas Foundation leader, Yellow Claw. The three then decide to reassemble the Agents of Atlas, using Ghost as proof that they were tricked into breaking up. First stop, is deep in the African rainforest, where Gorilla-Man and his wife, Jann of the Jungle, have continued their fight against the poachers of Africa. After assisting Jan and Gorilla-Man fight off a poacher crew, the Agents convince Gorilla-Man to return to the team, taking him with them to Greece to find Venus and Namora.
During this, M-11 sends out a message to Marvel Boy, now referring to himself as the Uranian, to come back and rejoin the team, and that he never followed his programming to begin with. Uranian is convinced, and meets the rest of the team in Greece, where they see that Venus has isolated herself from the world on a lone island. The team then convinces Venus that they know that she defines herself by her current actions, not her former actions, leaving only Namora. who quickly joins the team after meeting in Atlantis. But once the team returns to the Atlas Foundation, they find Jade Claw in the main room. The team then fights Jade Claw, finally ending the Claw Dynasty as Jade Claw is arrested.

The New Warriors: A new era calls for a new team of heroes, and this is where the New Warriors have come in. With a team composed of the vigilante Night Thrasher, the current Nova Prime, Richard Rider, the two enhanced teenagers Firestar and Justice, the daughter of Namora, Namorita, and Speedball, the New Warriors have declared themselves the newest defenders of justice.
Their first target is a relatively small-time villainess known as Coldheart. The team makes quick work of her, bringing her to the New Avengers Facility to turn her over to the Avengers. However, the team is given no credit, and the Avengers assume Coldheart turned herself in. Though this discourages the team, they continue to fight for good in the city. Meanwhile, a group of superhumans, developed by Genetech, come together to form the team Psionex. This team is composed of: Pretty Persuasion, the glass-skinned Coronary, the telepath Mathemanic, the poisonous Impulse, and the hallucinogenic Asylum. After witnessing their leader, Coldheart, get decimated by the New Warriors, the Psionex declare war on the New Warriors, vowing to see them killed.
The team ambushes the New Warriors in Central Park, and through their powers, they are able to incapacitate most of the team. With Mathemanic's telepathy, he is able to convince Nova that the world's gravity has changed, preventing him from using his Nova Force powers. At the same time, Coronary is able to subdue Night Thrasher, while Justice is given a hallucination by Asylum, causing him to lash out and attack Namorita. Finally, Pretty Persuasion fights Firestar and Speedball, knocking Firestar out with Speedball's body.
Though the team is able to escape the Psionex, they are horribly damaged, both physically and mentally. As Firestar lays in a coma, Nova is unable to use his powers, Speedball blames himself for Firestar's injuries, Night Thrasher and Namorita are injured, and Justice is still unconscious to prevent him from attacking Namorita. With no one left to turn to, Night Thrasher and Namorita take it upon themselves to reassemble the team. While Namorita attempts to cure Nova of his restrictions, Night Thrasher awakens Justice, who is now free from his illusion. Night Thrasher then helps Speedball out of his self-loathing, while Namorita finally cures Nova, and Firestar is awakened from her coma by Justice.
With the team all with level heads, they use their knowledge of the Psionex's powers to create a battle plan. With their plan prepared, the New Warriors head to Genetech, where the Psionex try to ambush them. But because the New Warriors expected this, they are able to turn the tides of the battle, with Night Thrasher taking on Mathemanic, using his immunity to telepathy to his advantage. As this happens, Nova shatters Coronary, Namorita and Speedball fight Impulse, Firestar ignites Asylum, and Justice defeats Pretty Persuasion. With the Psionex defeated, the New Warriors call in the police for clean-up, who take credit for capturing Psionex. Though their good deeds are never revealed, the team continues just to do good for the world.

Doctor Druid: Years ago, Doctor Anthony Druid was drawn to the spiritual land of Tibet in hopes of learning more about himself. What he did learn was the mystic arts as trained to him by the Ancient One. From that day on, Doctor Druid dedicated himself to protecting the world from evil using his mystical powers. Even fifteen years later, the doctor is still fighting the good fight, even becoming the lead monster hunter in the United Kingdom. His most recent job has been to investigate a rumor of a powerful magician who has assembled a cult of personality around himself, taking slaves through mind control all throughout the British Isles. His investigating eventually finds him his culprit in the form of a man named Maha Yogi, who has been using his hypnotic abilities to take control of hundreds of people.
Faking influence under Maha, Druid is able to get close enough to him to see that he possesses a piece of the Hellfire Helix, a stone that grants practical immortality and enhanced abilities to its wielders. With that stone, the power of Maha would be unopposed, meaning Druid has to continue his fake hypnotism act to find a time when Maha does not posses the stone. During his time with the hypnotized people, Druid learns that Maha is using his slave army to create a portal to summon the mythical army of the Fomor, who he intends to take control of with the Hellfire Helix and use them to dominate the world.
However, it would seem that Maha is not alone in his quest, as another person joins Maha on his throne: Mongu, the super strong enforcer of Maha. Druid, thinking himself the smarter of the two, uses his abilities to take control of Mongu, hoping to get more information out of Maha. But, instead of being able to get more information out of Maha, the evil sorcerer learns of Druid's mind control and kills Mongu, using his blood to open the portal, freeing the Fomor from their prison. However, when Maha tries to control the Fomor, they prove immune to his powers and kill him.
With Maha dead, the Hellfire Helix is absorbed by a Fomor, granting it incredible psionic powers. The creature then attempts to kill the civilians, but Doctor Druid holds it back with his own powers, hoping to take control of its mind. But the creature's power is too strong to be controlled by a mere-Human, forcing Druid to make a new plan.
Running from the creature, Druid retreats to the portal room, where the body of Mongu lays dead on the ground. Druid makes a plan and then, when the creature arrives, it is attacked by the empty shell of Mongu, now under control of Doctor Druid. With Mongu's strength, Druid is able to grab the Hellfire Helix from the Fomor, granting Doctor Druid the power to pull the Fomor back into the portal and lock it back up, saving the Earth and freeing the hypnotized workers of Maha.

Strange: "Anthony, Doctor, I'm here with the best of intentions."
Druid (telepathically): "And those are?"
Strange: "I need your help, Anthony. There is a disturbance that could tear our world in half. We need to stop it."
Druid nods and a flash of white fills the screen, then cuts to the chamber completely empty.

West Coast Avengers Pandemonium: The West Coast Avengers (Hawkeye, Wonder-Man, Darkhawk, Scarlet Witch, Tigra, US Agent, and Arachne) return to their lives as heroes of the west coast, saving those who need it, such as those who were injured in a 30 car pile-up on the coastal highway. One of the people in the pile-up is Martin Prestor, a satanist who worships the demon Mephisto. In his moment of need, Prestor calls upon Mephisto to help, who removes Prestor's limbs and replaces them with demon heads, as well as scattering Prestor's soul along the west coast.
Prestor, now calling himself Master Pandemonium, breaks free of the car crash and attacks the West Coast Avengers, only to be stopped by another group of heroes: the Rangers, a team assembled by the young Firebird to help when the West Coast Avengers were busy handling big-time villains. The Rangers (Firebird, Phantom Rider, Red Wolf, Shooting Star, and Texas Twister) then distract Pandemonium while the West Coast Avengers lead the civilians to safety. As the last civilian is brought to safety, the WCA turn to Pandemonium, fighting the half-demon alongside the Rangers. Pandemonium flees, while the WCA return to their mansion and the Rangers return to their police station headquarters.
Now hidden on the coast, Pandemonium asks Mephisto where his soul lays. Mephisto, hoping to ignite a war that would destroy the West Coast, gives Pandemonium five people whom are holders of his soul: Wanda Maximoff, Bonita Juarez, Maximillian Coleridge, Hank Pym, and Christopher Powell. For his first move, Pandemonium attempts to attack Hank Pym, who he finds in his house in San Francisco. He attempts to fight Pym, but is unable to beat him before Pym is able to suit up in an older version of the Ant-Man suit, escaping to the West Coast Avengers' mansion. At this same time, Pandemonium arrives at the Rangers' headquarters asking for Firebird to surrender herself. The rest of the team refuses this, and they prepare to do battle with Pandemonium, only for Shooting Star to morph into a demon and attack them. While the team fights the demon, Pandemonium kidnaps Firebird, taking her to his cave where the real Shooting Star is. Later, the Rangers request help from the WCA, hoping Pandemonium will reveal himself soon.
At the same time, Pandemonium goes to search for Maximillian Coleridge, a vigilante crime-fighter in LA who uses his connection to the dark force to fight crime. When Coleridge, calling himself Shroud, encounters Pandemonium, he is defeated as Pandemonium uses his demonic powers to cut off Shroud's access to the dark force. Hearing about the Shroud attack, the WCA and Rangers jettison to LA, where they help Shroud fight off Pandemonium in the streets of LA, just as Pandemonium had planned from the very start. He then leaves the teams, warping himself to the WCA mansion, where he kidnaps Hank Pym and Darkhawk. With three of the five pawns in his court, Pandemonium broadcasts his location to the WCA/Rangers and Shroud, who suspect a trap.
The team then heads to his headquarters, a small island off the coast, where he has Bonita Juarez, Hank Pym, Victoria Star, and Christopher Powell in his company. Exactly as he hoped, the final two pieces of his soul have come right to him, but when he calls upon Mephisto to return his soul to him, Mephisto reveals his ruse: Pandemonium's soul was never split up, he merely told Pandemonium that to bring about chaos. Angry and incoherent, Pandemonium attempts to fight the WCA, Rangers, and Shroud himself, only to get thoroughly defeated. The team then frees Powell, Pym, Juarez, and Star, while at the same time offering Shroud full membership in the WCA.
After credits scene:
All the WCA members are seen sitting around a table (Hawkeye, Tigra, Wonder-Man, Hercules, War Machine, Ant-Man, Scarlet Witch, Vision, Arachne, X-51, Moon Knight, Firebird, Darkhawk, US Agent, and Shroud)
Hawkeye: "If I may, I'd like to congratulate myself on leading our recent successful mission."
Tigra glares at Hawkeye.
Hawkeye: "And….I'd like to welcome our newest member, Shroud, to the WCA! So eat well everyone, to the WCA!"
All: "To the WCA!"

Only Hawkeye, Shroud, X-51, Tigra, and US Agent remain.
All sigh.

Namor The Sub-Mariner Blood in the Water: Namor, Prince of Atlantis, has ruled his kingdom for generations. But after revealing himself to the surface world of the modern era, more and more people have plotted to take Atlantis from the Sub-Mariner. One of those people is Doctor Lemuel Dorcas, who has spent his life researching the Atlanteans, hoping that one day he could become one himself. Following a recent dive near Atlantis, Dorcas discovered the body of Krang, an event that has allowed Dorcas's research to propel forward by decades, to the point where he is ready to conduct experiments on his test subject, Todd Arliss. Arliss was once a famous Olympic swimmer who tried to save a child from drowning, only to damage his own spinal cord, preventing him from ever swimming again. Desperate to return to the water, Arliss agreed to have his DNA altered by Dorcas, who successfully combines Krang's DNA with Arliss's, granting Arliss shark-like teeth, gills, and transforms his body into cartilage, healing his ailments. However, the experiment also turns Arliss incredibly savage, transforming him into the predatory Tiger Shark.
During this, Dorcas's assistance, Walter Newell, regrets playing God and steals the prototype suit he and Dorcas worked on, The Stingray Suit, and swims into the ocean. When Newell reaches Atlantis, he goes directly to Namor, warning him of Dorcas's attack. In retaliation, Namor orders an invasion on Dorcas's laboratory to retrieve Krang's body. When Namor and his imperial guard arrive, Tiger Shark is more than ready, killing multiple guardsmen before finally being subdued. The guardsmen then grab Dorcas, bringing him and Tiger Shark to Atlantean jail. Once there, one of the guards offers Dorcas a way out: Use his DNA splicing abilities to grant the guard powers, and he will release Tiger Shark and Dorcas. Dorcas readily agrees, excited to have a live Atlantean subject, and the three break out of Atlantis. Once broken out, Dorcas activates Stingray's remote control, taking over the armor and having Newell attack the Sub-Mariner. Though Stingray is unsuccessful in beating the Sub-Mariner, Dorcas calls the armor back to his laboratory.
Back at the lab, Dorcas has spliced the DNA of the Atlantean guard and an Orca Whale, turning him into Orka. Along with the abilities of a whale, Orka is also given a belt that allows him to communicate with Whales. With three enhanced soldiers at his side, Dorcas unveils his masterpiece: the Octo-Mek suit, an underwater suit he intends to pilot and use to rule Atlantis. The four then venture to Atlantis, where Namor and his Atlantean army waits to fight the invaders.
When the four arrive, the conflict begins, during which, Namor is able to slice off one of Dorcas's arm, destroying the Stingray's controller and freeing Stingray, who immediately joins Namor's side. Due to his experience with Tony Stark, Namor understands the reason for Stingray's betrayal, and the two fight the remaining three villains. During, Namor's fight with Dorcas, he witnessed the result of Dorcas's experiments on himself as his limbs grow back through his regenerative starfish powers. By the end of the battle, Dorcas has been thoroughly cut up, Tiger Shark has been suffocated, and Orka is in prison. With Atlantis once again at peace, Stingray is named an honorary Atlantean, with Namor ordering a room at the palace to be created for Stingray to live in.

The chopped up pieces of Dorcas are seen floating in the ocean, when one of them begins to shake, drawing the other pieces to it.

The Great Lake Avengers: As the need for superheroes to defend the world grows, more and more teams have assembled: the Avengers, the Defenders, the Midnight Sons, the Legion of Monsters, MI-13, the Secret Warriors, the West Coast Avengers, the Young Avengers, and the New Warriors. Now, comes a new team to defend the Midwest United States: The Great Lake Avengers, a coalition of Mr. Immortal, Dinah Soar, Big Bertha, Flatman, Doorman, and Grasshopper. The team spent their early days defending Wisconsin from the small time villains that tried to conquer it, until an incident killed the hero Grasshopper. The team then went silent for a month, only coming back to ask for a new member, who ends up being the incredible Squirrel Girl.
With the team now once again full, the Great Lake Avengers return to their crime-fighting lives, fighting the muggers and robbers of the city. But when more and more mutated creatures begin to appear in the cheesehead state, the team suspects a new super villain is on the rise. This hunch eventually leads the heroes to a backwater hospital under the control of Doctor Tannenbaum. Once inside, if the strange bones and mutated corpses weren't obvious enough, one of Squirrel Girl's squirrels is hit by a syringe that mutates it into a monster. But before the team can fight it, Squirrel Girl uses her powers and takes control of the mutated creature, pacifying it and returning it to her side.
The group then continues, finding Tannenbaum in a surgery room where he is creating his next monstrosity. The team confronts him, and Tannenbaum reveals his master plan: to mutate the entire state and bring them under his control. Taking control of Squirrel Girl's mutated friend, Tannenbaum has the squirrel fight the GLA while he escapes. By the time the squirrel is brought back under Squirrel Girl's control, Tannenbaum has left the building, and the GLA is back to square one. When the team returns to their headquarters, they are forced to rethink whether they can actually handle a super villain like Tannenbaum: but after a lot of soul-searching, the team resumes their quest to end Tannenbaum's diabolical plan. As the team searches the state, Squirrel Girl recruits her sidekick from her solo hero days: the squirrel known as Monkey Joe. The two then break into Tannenbaum's hospital, where Monkey Joe hacks the computer there and learns Tannenbaum had another facility. The two tell the rest of the GLA where the facility is, and reunite with their team at said location.
When they do meet, Monkey Joe is made a full-fledged GLA member, followed by the GLA entering the facility. Once inside, the team is attacked by a massive snowman, which is revealed to be Tannenbaum's magnum opus, with which Tannenbaum plans to storm the governor's office with. The GLA refuses to let this happen, and using Doorman's powers, Monkey Joe reaches the next room, where he turns up the air conditioning, which begins to melt the snowman. But before the snowman is completely melted, Tannenbaum pulls out a gun and shoots Monkey Joe, killing him and enraging Squirrel Girl, so much so that she escapes her restraints and covers Tannenbaum's body with her squirrelly allies. By the end of the battle, Tannenbaum has been clawed almost to death, and the snowman he once planned on using to control the state has melted away. For the first time ever, the Great Lake Avengers have stopped a major disaster, without causing an even worse one in the process.
After credits scene:
The GLA is shown outback of their headquarters, having a funeral for their fallen comrades. One of the gravestones is an intricately carved tombstone for Monkey Joe, while the other is a piece of cardboard with Grasshopper written crudely on it.

The Savage She-Hulk War of the Titans: Jennifer Walters returns as the savage She-Hulk, dedicated to defending the world and bringing those who threaten it to justice, whether the easy way in court or the hard way on the streets. A recent crime-spree in Washington DC has called She-Hulk to the nation's capital, where she is requested to help stop these villains from continuing their reign of injustice. She-Hulk agrees, and soon she meets the team of bank robbers: Titania, Adrenazon, Man-Bull, and Powderkeg. Though the team leaves without robbing the bank, they were able to test She-Hulk's strength, and see what she was capable of.
The next day, She-Hulk encounters Powderkeg robbing a small convenient store, but when she tries to fight him, she finds herself horribly outmatched in strength. As the two fight, Powderkeg frequently obtains the upper hand, thoroughly trouncing She-Hulk at every turn. However, as She-Hulk begins to lose consciousness, Powderkeg escapes, leaving She-Hulk defeated and humiliated in front of everyone. Enraged at her defeat, She-Hulk's anger gets the best of her as she starts to rampage through Washington DC, destroying cars and stores as she goes. When she reaches the Reflecting Pool, however, she is greeted by the same Hulkbuster Units that once hunted her cousin, now led by Titania. Coming to her senses, She-Hulk flees the scene, retreating to a small alley, where she returns to her human form.
Dazed and confused, Jennifer heads to a nearby diner, where the news tells her of the events that just transpired, with Titania being described as a protector of the United States from the traitorous She-Hulk. And to top it all off, the person supporting Titania and the Hulkbusters is the same officer who requested She-Hulk come to DC in the first place! The fact that her whole trip existed only as a trap for She-Hulk angers Jennifer, who transforms into She-Hulk, but before she rages out, she leaves the city's boundaries. Later that day, after her rage has been spent, Jennifer enters self-imposed exile to give herself time to think about whether she deserves to be a hero. During this time, the Hulkbusters are ordered to capture She-Hulk and bring her before the law, by any means necessary. Titania, Adrenazon, Powderkeg, and Man-Bull search the outskirts, where they find who they believe is the weak and emotionally-unstable Jennifer, only to be drawn into an ambush by She-Hulk, who has returned to her mean and green form. Despite their chemical-enhancements, the Hulkbusters are unable to beat She-Hulk in such an enraged state, and are beat into submission. She then brings them before the public in DC, where they admit they were hired by the police officer to turn She-Hulk into a public enemy.
Next, She-Hulk heads to the police station where she confronts the officer, who reveals to have been hired by an old enemy of She-Hulk: Betty Ross, AKA Red She-Hulk. She-Hulk then breaks into the prison Betty is being kept at following her time on the Dark Avengers, where she still remains. Confused, Jennifer questions Betty, who reveals the influence her father granted her, as she opens the cell and transforms into her fiery self. She then attacks She-Hulk, as the guards open fire on the green girl. The two goliaths fight it out, with She-Hulk being pushed farther and farther to the edge of her strength. But their fight is too powerful, and the prison begins to crumble around them, eventually ending Betty with multiple steel bars going through her abdomen, ending the Red She-Hulk once and for all. With Betty to blame and security camera evidence to prove it, Jennifer is freed of her accusations, but chooses to enter a period of exile, realizing how quick the government was to turn on her despite the small amount of evidence.

Avengers Legend of the Taskmaster: The Avengers return with the roster of Iron Man, Captain America, Ant-Man, Wasp, Black Panther, Vision, Captain Marvel, and Spider-Woman, all of whom are on high alert as a new group has begun to train a new generation of villains to fight the Avengers. This new group, known as the Taskmaster Institute, is led by a supposed former SHIELD agent, meaning that the group has a potential Hydra link. Thus, the Avengers began tracking the whereabouts of these Taskmaster Institutes, finding them all over the country. Up until now, the location of the leader has remained unknown, that is, until Wasp was able to sneak her way into one of the institutes, finding the leader of the academies, Anthony Masters. Taking advantage of her small size, Wasp stays hidden long enough to hear the origin story of Anthony.
As a child, Taskmaster's scientist parents experimented on him in an attempt to make him the smartest person in the world. What their experiments did, however, was increase his procedural memory to the point where he could learn any fighting technique just by watching it. With an infinite arsenal of skills, Taskmaster was soon head of his class in all forms of martial arts and sports, something SHIELD took notice of, and eventually recruited him for. Following his recruitment, Taskmaster became one of the top SHIELD field agents, using his powers to predict his enemy's' moves before they could even make them. When SHIELD fell, Taskmaster became a mercenary, but he realized he was wasting his talent by being a simple gun for hire. Thus, he opened up the first Taskmaster Institute, to train the next generation of mercenaries and goons to fight against the heroes that oppressed the world.
Having heard enough, Wasp prepares to enter battle, only to be grabbed by an electrified net from Taskmaster, who wants to use her as an example. Taskmaster then leaves the institute, escaping before the rest of the Avengers arrive. But when they do arrive, they are greeted by some of Taskmaster's best students: Agent Crock, Blindside, Chance, Fracture, and Solarr. Though these villains are no match for Earth's Mightiest Heroes, they are able to fight the Avengers long enough for their leader to get far enough away to detonate the institute. Following the initial explosion, the Avengers must escape the collapsing academy as Taskmaster's thugs try to pull them into the rubble. When the final Avenger exits the premises, the team is back at square one, but down a teammate.
As the team tries to pull itself together, Taskmaster takes Wasp to a smaller Taskmaster Institute, where he uses her as a teaching tool, inhibiting her powers so that his students can learn to fight an Avenger. Though Wasp tries to escape multiple times, the electric collar around her neck proves to prevent any such attempt from succeeding. Thus, Wasp is forced into the role of a punching bag, but hopefully not for long, as the Avengers finally locate the facility she is being held at.
With Ant-Man as an infiltrator, the Avengers gain access to Taskmaster's inner sanctum, where they learn of the tragedy he endures. With every new move he learns, a cherished memory of his life is forgotten. The Avengers, hoping to use this emotional aspect to their advantage, have Ant-Man try and negotiate with Taskmaster, offering the permanent storage of his memories in exchange for the Wasp. Far too along in his plan to stop, Taskmaster refuses, stabbing Wasp to prove his point. This ends their negotiation, and all the Avengers rush to the Taskmaster, where they attempt to fight him. But with his abilities to predict their every move, he is able to beat each and every Avenger, one after another. Even with his powers of intangibility, the Vision is unable to sneak up on the Taskmaster, who grabs and electrocutes him when he gets in range. During this slaughtering, Tony attempts to make a call to the other Avengers, but no one is able to answer. Thus, the Avengers are on their own to fight the Taskmaster.
Everything seems terrible for the team, at least until their wild card is played. This wild card comes in the form of Ant-Man, who goes giant, something not even Taskmaster can stop. With his enhanced strength, Giant-Man is able to throw Taskmaster across the room, giving the other Avengers time to recover and form a new plan. Taskmaster, now injured by his fall, has started to lose his move memorization, allowing the other Avengers the upper hand, and ultimately, the ability to defeat Taskmaster. With his "unbeatable" facade now shattered and his memory skills impaired, Taskmaster is dealt with and his institute is closed.
