Moon Knight Season 2: Marc Spector, the resurrected avatar of the Egyptian God of Vengeance, Khonshu, protects his city by night as the superhero Moon Knight. Since he joined Midnight Sons, Moon Knight has increased his crime-fighting skills ten-fold and has been fighting deadlier and deadlier targets. From vampires to demons of hell, Spector thinks he's seen it all. But all of that is about to change when he encounters a group of bloodthirsty werewolves roaming the streets. Thus begins Moon Knight's biggest challenge yet: To eliminate the werewolf threat that plagues New York City.
During his hunt, Spector comes across a werewolf that seems to be smarter than all the others: Jack Russell. Clearly, it seems that the alpha male of the NYC werewolves is Russell, and only the avatar of Khonshu can defeat this monster. However, while hunting Russell, Moon Knight witnesses someone else capturing the werewolf: some society known as the Committee.
When Moon Knight investigates further, he learns the truth about the werewolves: Russell is attempting to eliminate them, while the Committee are the ones creating them. Thus, Moon Knight breaks in and frees Russell, who destroys the Committee's research, preventing the creation of any future werewolves. United together, Moon Knight and Werewolf at Night go to hunt the remaining werewolves down and try to find a cure for them.

Moon Knight: "Actually, yes, I do. Now get out of my way. I have work to do that you and your Avengers can't even dream of."
Hawkeye: "That's why I came by. You're being called up to the big leagues, Mooney. We need your help."
Moon Knight: "I work alone."
Hawkeye: "Unless you're working with Blade, Ghost Rider, The Punisher, Cloak and Dagger, and Doctor Strange. We need your help. You of all people know the danger a powerful villain can present."

Blade Season 2: The battle against Dracula may have weakened the vampires, but it didn't end the war against the vampires, and with Blade back in the US, action must once again be taken by Dracula's followers against the daywalker. This time, the task falls upon Michael Morbius, the strongest of Dracula's vampires.
With what remains of Dracula's forces, Morbius heads to New Orleans where he joins up with the American vampire Ulysses Sojourner in hopes of uniting all vampires under their rule. Thus, Blade must journey to New Orleans to stop these powerful forces from combining. Once there, Blade speaks with his contact in New Orleans, Jericho Drumm, known as Brother Voodoo.
Together, the two attack the vampires head on, only to discover where Morbius' true allegiance lies as he kills Sojourner. It would appear that during his time with Dracula, Morbius was forced to follow Dracula by the vampiric laws of whomever is infected by a vampire, owes themselves to that vampire. Meaning that, when Dracula was killed in the Battle for England by MI-13, Morbius was set free of his chains. Thus, Morbius had set out to end Dracula's control over the vampire world by killing his elite most vampires, one of which was Sojourner.
With this revelation, Morbius escapes, off to kill more of Dracula's servants. Thus, Blade allows him to go, knowing the two shall be in contact once more.

Cloak and Dagger Season 2: The Midnight Sons have temporarily separated and thus, the war between the Maggia crime syndicate and the duo, Cloak and Dagger, continues. To ensure the death of the syndicate, Cloak and Dagger have decided they need to ensure the deaths of the leaders of the Maggia, starting with Silvio Manfredi. After getting inside, Cloak and Dagger decapitate Silvio, believing him to be dead.
The next few weeks are relatively quiet, with clean-up following Silvio's death taking most of their time. However, that quiet is broken by an enraged green monster barreling through New York City: Manphibian. After subduing the beast by draining its life force, Cloak and Dagger find a collar on him that caused his enraged state. But before they can speak to him, Cloak and Dagger are attacked by Hammerhead. However, following a drawn out fight between the duo and Hammerhead, Manphibian comes to the rescue and defeats Hammerhead. He then explains how he is an alien who was captured by the Maggia who wished to use his DNA to give their top leaders his regenerative powers.
The duo and Manphibian then break into Silvio's house once more, this time heading to the lab to destroy any of Manphibian tissue samples. However, once they arrive in the lab, they discover the real reason for the lab: the Maggia have brought Silvio back in a cyborg body known as Silvermane. Together, Cloak, Dagger, and Manphibian fight against Silvermane, who after a gruelling battle, is drained of his life force by Dagger. With Silvio dead, a main source of income for the Maggia collapses.

Ghost Rider Season 2: Following the events of Midnight Sons, Johnny Blaze returned to his vigilante role as the spirit of vengeance, Ghost Rider. But instead of simply fighting Mephisto's lackies, the rider is now challenged by the Prince of Hell: Blackheart. With Blackheart on Earth, the Rider must prevent him from bringing his father through a portal known as the Nexus of All Realities.
Using his abilities to sense evil, Ghost Rider hunts Blackheart down to the Florida everglades where he finds Blackheart fighting the guardian of the Nexus, Man-Thing, and losing. When Blackheart escapes death at the hands of the swamp monster, Ghost Rider calls upon Doctor Strange to learn who the Man-Thing is. After viewing deep into the beast's dormant mind, the Sorcerer Supreme learns that the Man-Thing was once Doctor Ted Ellis, who was presumed dead after his car was found crashed in the swamp. Though Man-Thing survived, any memory of his previous life and even his very consciousness are minimal or destroyed completely.
While this means Man-Thing is capable of defending his home, Ghost Rider is more than aware of Blackheart's endurance and returns to the swamp where he inadvertently kills Man-Thing by burning. Thus, Ghost Rider must fight Blackheart alone, and while he is able to defeat Blackheart and send the Prince of Hell back to his home, he has left the Nexus u defended. Thus, he offers up the fallen angel whom has manifested as Ghost Rider to the spirits in exchange for the resurrection of Man-Thing. While Man-Thing is resurrected, the spirits choose not to call the Ghost Rider's spirit back and leave it in Blaze's body so that he may use the Rider's powers for good.

The Punisher Season 2: With the events of the Midnight Sons behind him, Frank Castle has returned to his lifestyle of punishing those who destroy his city by any means necessary. A few of those people are Carmine Gazzera, Cockroach Hamilton, and Deke Wainscroft. However, Wainscroft reveals his true employer, Jigsaw.
While Wainscroft does reveal Jigsaw's location in Cairo, the Punisher refuses to spare him and throws him into a spiked fence. Flying to Cairo, Punisher encounters Jigsaw in the Cairo airport, where he reveals his true motive: To take revenge on the Punisher for scarring his body when he worked for Barracuda. Before the Punisher can even respond, a smoke bomb allows for Jigsaw's escape.
While hunting down Jigsaw, Punisher encounters another person hellbent on killing Frank Castle: N'Kantu the Living Mummy. The protector of Egypt, only recently having freed himself from the dark magic that constrained him in the pyramids, considers the Punisher a threat to the innocents of Egypt. However, Punisher is able to reassure him he's the good guy when Jigsaw attacks a second time, destroying the hotel Punisher was staying in.
With N'Kantu siding with Punisher, the two manage to track Jigsaw to a military base being held by the terrorist organization ULTIMATUM, only to separate when Agent Anarchy assaults N'Kantu. The Punisher then follows Jigsaw on foot, chasing him through the military base, while N'Kantu fought Anarchy within the main building.

The Legion of Monsters: After much discussion, Director Coulson of SHIELD has chosen to create a team of monsters to fight the battles that not even the Secret Warriors could. This would become known as the Legion of Monsters. Werewolf, Morbius, N'Kantu, and Manphibian are brought in with promises of defending those like them. Man-Thing, however, was a bigger challenge. Lacking intelligence, Man-Thing needed a reason to leave his swamp to fight for good, so through the pure-heartedness of Daisy and the positive emotions she exudes, the swamp creature is brought in and the Legion of Monsters is established.
With Werewolf leading, the team went out to defeat the four monsters of Doctor Demonicus: Batragon, Ghilaron, Lepirax, and Centipor. While they are able to defeat the beasts and capture Demonicus, the damage upon Demonica, Demonicus's island nation, is clear and thus, the United Nations announces a group to deal with these newly arriving threats: The Monster Hunting Special Forces, led by Robert Hellsgaard. However, Hellsgaard is an anti-monster extremist, and declares that no monsters are safe, whether they fight for good or evil, and demonstrates this by killing Manphibian's children he found in the sewers of NYC. This drives Manphibian into a rage, causing him to quit the team to go kill Hellsgaard.
When Man-Thing runs away to escape the negative emotions, only N'Kantu, Werewolf, and Morbius remain and attempt to call back an enraged Manphibian who is rampaging in NYC, setting a trap for Hellsgaard. When his trap works, Manphibian attacks Hellsgaard, who arrived prepared and defeats Manphibian. But before Manphibian is executed, Werewolf, N'Kantu, and Morbius arrive and assault Hellsgaard. However, Hellsgaard's team of monster executioners are able to hold off the three while the battle between Manphibian and Hellsgaard continues. But as everything seems bleak, Man-Thing charges in and scars Hellsgaard's face with his acid, but refuses to kill him, lest he become as bad as Hellsgaard himself.
With Hellsgaard's team disbanded and Hellsgaard himself in jail, the Legion of Monsters disband to return to their regular lives, with Werewolf by Night and Morbius joining Midnight Sons, Brother Voodoo returning to New Orleans, Man-Thing returning to the everglades, Manphibian returning to the sewers, and N'Kantu returning to Egypt.
