Civil War II | Comics

Because of Black Bolt detonating a Terrigen Bomb during the time Thanos came to invade New Attilan looking for his son (Infinity), a new generation of Inhumans called NuHumans is introduced to the world. Among them was Ulysses Cain, a NuHuman with near-accurate precognitive abilities, who prophesied of an upcoming dystopian future. This came in handy when The Avengers successfully stopped an invasion of a Celestial Destructor in Earth, with help from A-Force, Inhumans, The Ultimates and X-Men.

Doctor Strange and the combined effort of the magic wielders were able to send the Celestial back to its own dimension. As the heroes learned about Ulysses at the celebratory party of their victory, Captain Marvel wanted to recruit him to The Ultimates, whereas Iron Man argues over the logic of trying to stop something before it even takes place. However, in an attempt to apprehend Thanos according to Ulysses' visions, Carol Danvers and her team ambushed The Mad Titan, resulting in the death of War Machine and She-Hulk ended up in coma.

An infuriated Tony Stark then kidnaps Ulysses from New Attilan to further study the true nature of his powers, leading Tony into conflict with Medusa, Crystal and Karnak of The Inhumans. When Black Panther deduced that Karnak is about to destroy the Stark Tower in retaliation, the combined force of The Avengers, S.H.I.E.L.D. and The Ultimates rushed to the spot to stop him. As Tony runs tests on him, Ulysses projected another vision regarding The Hulk, as he will go into a rampage and kill The Avengers.

Carol approaches a de-powered Bruce Banner in his secret base to come out and cooperate but Hawkeye shoots him dead with an arrow after Beast confirms of Banner is experimenting to regain his powers. Tony show to Captain America, Captain Marvel and Medusa that Ulysses' visions are actually probabilities of possible future, not absolute truth and he revealed it to the world. Carol still refuses to stop using Ulysses' visions to stop possible world-ending threats.

However, things got a bit escalated when she arrested a citizen named Alison Green, believed to be an agent of Hydra based on a prediction Ulysses made but was unable to prove her of any guilt. When Tony got her out of custody, Carol attempts to arrest Tony Stark and he brought over the team of All-New X-Men and The Avengers to confront her. Then Alpha Flight and Guardians of the Galaxy joins Carol against Tony and then Ulysses has a vision of Miles Morales killing Steve Rogers.

Uncanny Avengers – The Man Who Fell to Earth | Comics

The Uncanny Avengers are up for a Standoff in Pleasant Hill! Hank Pym, original Avenger and creator of Ultron returns!

With completely unexpected help from time-travelling mutant superhero Cable, Avengers Unity Division successfully prevented a dystopian "Lost Future" from happening. Afterwards, Commander Steve Rogers led his team into the fiasco of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Pleasant Hill project created by Kobik, a sentient Cosmic Cube taking form of a young girl.

Information about this was eventually leaked on web and Maria Hill claimed the program being shut down with pieces of it destroyed completely. However, Rogers found this not to be true and his Unity Squad team is called for helping in a manhunt. Jericho is summoned by his deceased brother Daniel Drumm to help him return to the world of living.

Cable, Deadpool, Doctor Voodoo, Rogue and Synapse chased down super-villain Wrecker of the Wrecking Crew, who was trying to make a break for it from Pleasant Hill along with Maria Hill. So, now they all fight back group of S.H.I.E.L.D. operatives who came to take them in and then another Maria Hill arrives in a Quinjet starts shooting at them.

Reality around them starts bending and next day they all wake up as different persons living in Pleasant Hill, Connecticut. Rogue is the first one among them to sense it and wake up rest of her team to get out of this reality-warping super-villain prison. She then assembles rest of her teammates from their reality to form a resistance.

Uncanny Avengers – The Man Who Fell to Earth | Comics

After causing genocide to millions of souls among the stars, long-lost team member of The Avengers; Hank Pym finally returns to Earth. Rogue was the one who stumbled onto him first while she was headed towards saving Soyuz Capsule from crushing. Hank's body was merged with Ultron during their previous battle and was lost to all.

Hank believed that he was forgotten but he was actually thought dead by his friends because of what happened to him. Rogers was busy taking down some extremists in wildlife reserve of La Reserva with Deadpool and she took Hank right there.

Hank Pym claims that he has taken control over his creation when rest of their teammates are gathered at Cap's location. Cable asks him to submit his suit for peer review but he reveals that there is not much organic part left, now that he is a singular being with Ultron. Hank flies off to Avengers Mansion and Cap tells Rogue to keep an eye on him.

For acting weirdly out of his character, Cable, Deadpool, Doctor Voodoo, Human Torch, Quicksilver and Synapse were already pretty skeptical about his credentials from beginning though and then he blows up his own memorial claiming it's a lie since he is still alive. He joins active duty with Unity Squad right from that moment.

His ex-wife Janet van Dyne was informed about his return by Steve earlier and during a mission in subway, Wasp casually joined to welcome Hank back, who is overjoyed to see her and she called him away to have a talk with him. However, she saw through him when Hank missed the Ghostbusters reference or wanted to go to Montauk.

When he walks into the theater, Cable starts pushing Hank with some facts that finally made Ultron reveal his true nature. A blast takes down their entire headquarter along with Cable and Human Torch in it. Janet took him down with an EMP burst to slow him down for a moment when Vision enters the scene to confront his father.

All-New, All-Different Avengers – Family Business | Comics

A "Standoff" at Pleasant Hill between All-New, All-Different Avengers and Uncanny Avengers takes place before a trip to a prison planet!

The Mighty Thor has joined a new assembly of The Avengers earlier while trying to foil a plot by Kang the Conqueror and was separated from Mjolnir shortly, which revert her back to Jane Foster. None of her teammates knew of her identity but now it has been revealed to Sam Wilson, All-New Captain America but he kept it a secret.

He even came to visit her during one of her chemotherapy sessions before heading back to an emergency. Vision tries to make peace with Ms. Marvel and sneaks into her school to talk about their past differences. Iron Man and Thor then heads to apprehend a villain named Night Phantom who was busy fighting Spider-Man, Miles Morales.

Before he is taken down, he asks about "Pleasant Hill" and when Maria Hill of S.H.I.E.L.D. arrives to take over, she completely tries to ignore it until Cap gives them more bad news coming from there. They ride into a Quinjet to reach Connecticut and Hill starts firing at members of Avengers Unity Division upon seeing them with another "Maria Hill".

Cable sends Quicksilver and Rogue to tackle them for this uncalled attack on them that ended up crushing the Quinjet. Still in confusion, both team starts fighting each other as a wall closes in on them that turns out to be a snowdome. Tony and his friends later regain sense in a world where they were not aware of their truer selves at all.

All-New, All-Different Avengers – Family Business | Comics

Soon, inhabitants of Pleasant Hill started to gain their memory and assembled together but the villains also broke free of captivity to attack them. Deadpool decided to reach out to Kobik, a Cosmic Cube fragment that took the form of a human child, who can rewrite reality and made her restore everyone back to how they were before.

Now residing and operating from an abandoned hangar, Avengers seem to come under attack and then revealed to be The Wasp who is not Janet Van Dyne at all. She turns out to be Nadia Pym, estranged daughter of Hank Pym who was raised in Red Room and was studying Pym Particles, which helped her make a break out of there.

She initially went to see her father who deceased earlier in an attempt to stop Ultron and came to meet her father's allies. Though Edwin Jarvis was dismissive about her, he took her to meet her stepmother Jan after she helped Vision from exploding and blowing up everyone by going superthermal as an after-effects of his encounter with Kang.

Nova informs the team about going after his father who he has been looking for ever since he joined the Corps and Tony offers their aid. Together they journeyed through space in an old overdrive unit that is powered by Thor's hammer and guided by Nova's helmet only to arrive at a barren planet that is littered with other wrecked ships.

On arrival, their ship is shot down from a lighthouse-esque tower but they managed to successfully land in time among a crowd of alien refugees. Iron Man and Lady Thor go to investigate the tower when an energy cloud appears out of nowhere to grab any life-form it come across and The Avengers just jumped into it.

Finding herself shacked on the other side; Ms. Marvel tries to break free despite warnings from Nova and Spider-Man only to be crushed down by Annihilus, Lord of the Negative Zone! Vision fared no better under an anti-matter sun of the galactic prison planet with only Goddess of Thunder keeping him from unleashing a Techtronicon cannon.

He died in his bed and then reborn as an Inhuman from a cocoon, with plant-based powers. One of his grandchildren also undergone same sort of metamorphosis and became an Inhuman.

While Quicksilver took a break for the day and was with Synapse at New York, they notice sudden environmental anomaly and she fell off her chair. They rushed to Boston, only to find it completely flooded with enormous plants and spores within an hour.

Rest of the Unity Squad quickly arrives to help people trapped in the scene and from the infection of spores that releases dog-like creatures after a while. Rogers sent Wade in a chopper to drop Human Torch and Rogue to provide air support to Quicksilver, already dealing with enormous mutated creatures running around.

Pietro was explaining where these things are coming from when the Merc with a Mouth joins with Emily and Jericho. On the other side of the city a Police officer discovers a person in shadows, who comes out introducing himself as the Shredded Man.

Apparently he is the one responsible for this city-wide mess and he definitely does not come in peace. Johnny and Pietro were busy dealing with a group of mutated dogs while Jericho tries to stop the deadly plants from growing. Torch goes to seek help and Quicksilver unsuccessfully tries to engage the Shredded Man to fail miserably.

After landing a punch on the villain, he is overpowered and encased inside a massive trunk to be consumed entirely.
