Owner's Description

Synopsis: “Avengers World”

We start with a "Previously in Avengers" although, bar one sentence, none of it has actually happened previously. Nope, just a clever way of setting up the story and tease a few upcoming events/new characters. The short of it is Steve Rogers and Tony Stark decide that as problems keep getting bigger, the Avengers need to as well.

A month later on Mars a golden alien, Ex Nihilo, is hurling origin bombs at Earth in order to transform it into a perfect world. He's even having a trail run on Mars by making a perfect man. Alongside him is a wisp-like lady, Abyss, who pretty much thinks destruction is the only thing that can fix the Earth. The third member of their group is the robot Aleph, who serves as umpire and will decide whether the Earth will be transformed or destroyed. Anyway, the Avengers core team (Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Bruce Banner/Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye) take exception to the Earth being bombed and decide to head to Mars for a chat. By chat, I mean fight. However, Abyss takes out Hulk by brainwashing him and setting him on Thor, Ex Nihilo deals with Iron Man, Black Widow and Hawkeye, leaving Aleph to stop Cap. Cap is about to be beaten to death by Aleph when Ex Nihilo decides that's not very nice and sends him back to Earth to prepare mankind for their imminent defeat.

Three days and a few band aids later, Cap wakes up and assembles the rest of the Avengers, ready for round 2.

Part 1 of 3 in the story arc "Avengers World".
