Previously on Avengers...
Very soon, in your timeline, Earth will be consumed in a war
between two alien empires: The Kree and the Skrulls.
In the end it was Captain America that was truly responsible.
The infiltration has begun.
Hail HYDRA!
What does it mean?
It means we've got a big problem.

I recommend delaying the attack, as the threat--
No. There will be no delay.
- Proceed as planned. - Yes, Lord Doom.
But... if the Avengers stand in the way?
Destroy them.
And there came a day unlike any other,
when Earth's mightiest heroes
found themselves united against a common threat.
On that day, they became The Avengers.
The invincible armored Iron Man.
Thor, Prince of Thunder.
The Hulk, strongest hero there is.
And Captain America the first Avenger.
♪ Assembled we are strong ♪
♪ forever fight as one. ♪
AVENGERS! ASSEMBLE!
Is someone gonna get that?
Come on. What am I, the butler around here too?
Time to settle this once and for all.
- Is it seven o'clock already? - I brought the chips.
- Let's play some cards, Avengers. - Think they meant poker chips.
Grimm!
Yes! This is way better than cards!
Flame on!
I should have gone with Iron Man.
Sue!
Hey Jan. Sorry we keep missing each other.
We got stuck in Subterranea for a bit.
That's underground, right?
Hi Tony.
Reed's in his lab. He's expecting you.
What? Mr. Fantastic is in his lab ignoring you?
Shocker. Why are you still hanging around with that guy,
when you could be with me?
Uh, you know, as the Invisible Woman, joining The Avengers.
Tell Reed that Jan and I are having some girl time.
Assuming he notices you're there.
And so I'm explaining to Thor
that Asgard is an other dimension realm, and not a magical fantasy land,
when we detect a spike in some sort of unknown energy.
Adjusting the crono-variable to negative 5.7.
Uh, so it turns out that Asgard is accesible
by manipulating trans-dimensional wormholes.
Everything about Thor and Asgard is explainable by science,
which I've been telling everyone.
It's true!
Thor lives in a magic kingdom, with a rainbow bridge,
and I flew on a horse with wings.
There were elves and giants, and a big magic tree.
We're still tracking down the Masters of Evil,
but otherwise, we pretty much saved the universe.
I'm impressed!
The Fantastic Four have put a few bad guys away in here,
but mostly we're out exploring whatever new thing Reed's found.
You Avengers though, you've been busy!
So, I had to forge a new suit of armor
with a metal that doesn't exist in this dimension,
that you've never even seen before.
And where is that armor now?
It, uh...
The dwarf King kept it.
It was part of the deal I made with him for helping me.
I should have stayed at the mansion.
So, Thor stayed in Asgard, no one's seen him in a few weeks,
but, yeah, we pretty much saved the world.
- You're welcome. - Whatever.
The Fantastic Four saved the world this morning, before breakfast.
The rocky fellow, he's the Thing.
- Which one are you again, son? - Whoa, are, are you serious?
How could you not know this?
I'm Johnny! Johnny Storm, the Human Torch!
Ahh, give him a break Torch. He's like a hundred years old.
I call. Ben?
Boo-yah! Full house!
Four aces.
Hank, I've been able to keep Princess Ravonna stabilized,
but, I... Wait! Where is Hank?
Leave of absence. Are you really this oblivious,
or are you the dumbest man on the planet?
Excuse me?
Sue Storm is way out of your league.
and you're messing it up by ignoring her all the time.
But, on second thought,
if things aren't working out between the two of you,
- maybe... - I can think of fourteen different ways
to seal you in that armor forever.
Honestly, Tony,
I think Susan's actually been ignoring me the last few weeks.
She's been very distracted lately.
Men are dumb. Don't even get me start about Hank.
He keeps trying to quit the team.
You guys are gonna be cool, right? Everyone just be cool!
- He started it! - What is it with you two anyways?
Grimm's just sore because he's never beat me in a fight.
In your dreams, Jade Jaws!
I've gone toe-to-toe with stuff that'd make you bend your purple pants.
Now.
Reed!
Ravonna!
She's OK. The stasis tube is intact.
What happened?
- You OK? - Yeah. I think.
What are these things?
Victor must have found a way around the building defenses.
No kidding.
This old armor can't take much more of this.
What is it with you and Dr. Doom anyways?
Whoa! Hey!
The new uniform is nice, but
I'm thinking you probably need a new shield.
Agreed!
So who's this Dr. Doom?
Eh, you're standard arch-enemy.
Victor Von Doom's been obsessed with Reed for years.
Always trying to prove he's smarter,
or trying to take over the world. You know, the usual.
Except Doom's got his own country and army of robots
to back up his threats.
Don't care. Time to smash!
This is wrong.
Dr. Doom has nothing to gain by attacking us here.
This reeks of desperation. Something he is not known for.
Why now? Why is Victor attacking now?
Especially with two Avengers.
Because he hates you. A lot.
Didn't he shoot the Baxter building into space once?
Yes, he did. But he had a reason.
Just like he has a reason for doing this.
We just need to find out what it is.
Stupid robots.
You may need a diagnostic scan on...
I got it, thanks.
I thought you were supposed to get stronger the madder you got.
Well get mad, you dumb monster!
I'm already mad!
Reinforcements may be in order.
Avengers! Assemble!
They're jamming my communications. Shields!
Uh, nevermind, shields.
Hey! No one's home.
Are you gonna let me go now? Ya big...
Hm. Intriguing.
They were shut down remotely. But why...?
What's Victor playing h... Susan!
- Susan, come in. - She was with Wasp.
JARVIS, connect me through Wasp's Avengers ID card.
No response.
Give me map and coordinates on Jan's location.
She's on the move, at about 800 miles an hour.
That's a little faster than her normal top speed.
This might be a problem. They're going to blow up.
Man, Doom really hates you!
Look at the energy configuration.
They formed a daisy chain to amplify the explosion.
If my calculations are correct,
the blast radius will encompass the Baxter Building.
- We'll have to evacuate everyone. - Along with half the city.
Uh, OK, here's the plan. I fly the robots high enough--
No, this is a distraction.
Doom has Susan and the Wasp.
I'll deal with the Doombots, you go after them.
- Reed, I'm not going to leave you... - GO!
Wait. A "what" chain?
What? Sue!
Warning. Incoming signal detected.
You!
I warned your boss not to mess with me, lady.
Now...
JARVIS, begin system reboot,
and connect me with Mr. Fantastic. I need an update on the...
Huh. I was expecting a little more...
mess.
I disarmed the Doombots.
- Where's Susan? - They... got away.
But I've got satellites tracking them.
So if you disarmed these things, what was the big light show?
Reed, Ben and I just saved the city
from exploding Doombots,
no matter what The Avengers say. Isn't that right, Ben?
Yeah, more or less.
The Avengers helped. A little.
Well, a lot.
If by a lot, you mean we did everything.
Panther slowed down the chain reaction,
then Hulk smashed them all together, and threw them up over the city.
Forgot to throw you with them.
Wait, Avengers mansion was attacked too?
He knew Johnny and Ben were there. He wanted them out of the way.
All to get to Susan. But why Wasp?
Whoa, slow down.
What do you mean "All to get to Susan?"
Doom has your sister, and Wasp.
What? Then what are you standing around for?
Doom's got Susie, we go get her back,
and we clobber Doom while we're at it, once and for all!
- It's not that simple. - Why not?
Iron Man is correct.
This is a trap. This is what Doctor Doom wants.
For The Fantastic Four to come to him, on his terms.
If you charge in, you will be destroyed.
Plus, he's the dictator of a sovereign nation.
We go in, and we're the invaders.
I can't see SHIELD or the United States
being very happy about that.
So that's your big Avengers plan?
- Let Doom win? - I didn't say that.
OK, nobody shoot me.
Sue.
Sue you need to wake up, now.
Susan!
No!
Jan?
Shocks you when you use your powers. It hurts.
And I'm thinking that's the guy we need to thank for it.
Hey. Hey!
Doctor Doom, right?
You want to apologize to us before you get beaten up, or after?
Jan...
And don't think I forgot about you, robot girl.
I mean seriously, do you really think you're going to walk away from this?
You think you're the only wannabe world ruler we've taken down?
Here's a tip, putting on a skirt
over your second rate Iron Man armor
not helping.
What? You're too good to talk to me?
- I've zapped bad guys that-- - Miss Van Dyne.
I am not some common criminal that can be distracted by your prattling.
You are nothing to Doom,
and your pathetic attempts to play mind games with me
amount to exactly less than nothing.
So please, stop embarrassing yourself.
OK.
So what do you want?
I "have" exactly what I want.
Warning. There is an approaching aircraft.
An Avengers Quinjet.
Eliminate them.
- Here it comes. - Torch!
OK, that's it. We're aborting the mission.
I hate this plan.
The Quinjet survived the initial assult,
but is now retreating out of Latverian airspace.
OK, so much for avoiding an international incident.
Avengers! Assemble!
You ready to do this Jolly Green?
It's clobbering time!
Doom, you can't win this.
I'm going to give you one chance here. Surrender.
Doom does not surrender.
Take it!
Somebody blast him!
You are trespassing on Lavterian soil.
Leave. Now.
How about this instead? We kick your shiny metal butt...
No.
Are you kidding me?
We have what we came for, yes?
Why, Victor? What did you even want?
You do not even see what is happening here.
Enough! We're moving out people.
- But this isn't over. - I agree.
We'll hold a cell for you Doom. Count on it.
He chickened out! Doom knew he was beat.
That's what I think.
- What do you think he wanted? - I don't know.
But I can't help but believe that whatever Doom was after...
he got it.
