Located in a secret location somewhere in North Africa, a top secret research facility of the MAPPO Corporation were doing genetic research on human/animal hybrids to produce the next generation's super powered mindless army of tomorrow. A delusional Japanese scientist, Dr. Kazushi Nikken were running those illegal experiments on African animal species of the likes of wild Warthogs, Elephants, Rhinos, Hippos and other species of large mamals, forcing implantation of their embryos into the wombs of local women to force them into give birth to the race of “Elephantmen” before disposing them off. These super soldiers were taught to serve MAPPO without any sort of free will of their own.

When the United Nations eventually found out about these dirty secrets that MAPPO had been keeping under cover for more than over two centuries, they sent armed forces to raid in their top secret base. The militia that has stormed MAPPO’s hidden base, fought against the mind controlled army and the ensuing battle led to many casualties from both sides. Finally, the collision came to an end with the personnel of MAPPO being arrested by the military and the Elephantmen are all allowed to establish themselves in the outside world. Hip Flask, Ebony Hide, Tusk, Casbah Joe, Obadiah Horn and others of their kind try die-hard to co-exist among the humans; with help from Vanity Case, Herman Strumm, Queen Sahara, a little girl Savannah and a young cab driver Miki.

New Avengers – Civil War | Comics

In wake of superhero Civil War, New Avengers are about to go to war with each other over their beliefs.

Following tragic events of "Stamford Incident", government issued Superhuman Registration Act that requires all individual with superpowers to have their secret identity revealed and work for them. Whereas Iron Man thinks this is a reasonable idea, Captain America refused to hunt down his fellow heroes and went AWOL.

Now that he is a known fugitive, S.H.I.E.L.D. sends a group of "Cape-Killers" agents after him along with his friend Dum Dum Dugan. He barely managed to escape and meet Sam Wilson AKA Falcon on a safe-house. They went to see Henry Pym to seek help but he called authority and Cap made a mess out of him on his way out.

Iron Man and Ms. Marvel goes to see Luke Cage, asking him whether he is willing to sign but he refuses to and waits at his home in Harlem after sending Jessica Jones with his kid to Canada. At midnight, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents came knocking down at him and he fought until Captain America came to take him alongside Daredevil and Falcon.

Spider-Woman finds herself torn between being a double agent for both Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D. She goes into hiding and got a surprise visit from Nick Fury, which turns out to be an LMD that is controlled by Maria Hill. She is taken into custody by force but Hydra raids the Helicarrier she was in to abduct her and took her to Hydra Island.

New Avengers – Civil War | Comics

She is greeted by her handler Connely, who wishes for her to take over their organization by replacing Viper. She fights him and a couple of agents before blowing up that entire island straight to hell before leaving. Back in New York, she goes to the safe-house where Cap was building a resistance of heroes and begs to take her in.

Long after locking himself up, The Sentry has recently found new purpose after joining New Avengers but is torn between his friends going into a superhero "Civil War" despite having sided with Iron Man. Considering any of his action can spell doom for them all, he chose to fly to moon seeking peace only to be attacked by Inhumans.

Right after he incapacitates them, Bob has been summoned by their king Black Bolt and over dinner, they all catch up to current events. He was asked to stay the night there and Royal Family member Crystal was pursuing to resume their former relationship from long ago until Iron Man showed up at their doorstep to take Sentry back.

Outside of Avengers Tower, a guy hacks into suits of stationed S.H.I.E.L.D. guards that froze and cause them to fell. He then walks into the building by passing every security measures to reach to top and come across Edwin Jarvis. Seeing him trying to reach for alarm, the man shot him and turned to see Iron Man standing behind him.

Though startled, he immediately shut Tony down with an override code and he falls flat in his suit. He turns out to be a former disgruntled employee who is sick of current conflict of heroes and berates Tony for going up against him. According to him, Stark is ashamed and is hiding behind his technology that he wears as armor.

Tony pints out that killing him will only make him a martyr but his guest has some other ideas, which revolves around an Antimatter generator. From Helicarrier, S.H.I.E.L.D. observes an anomaly in guard formation at Stark Tower and Maria Hill is called in. After some inspection, she deployed her units to go there and check in on Stark.

A "Civil War" is breaking down superhero communities and former friends now stand rivals in terms of ideal.

With their newly reformed team broken up because of a law, heroes are fighting among themselves over ideologies other than bad guys. Superhuman Registration Act has affected each of their lives in different ways but they are still regrouping, forming resistance against authority and fighting their ground till the end.

Since every renowned cape wearer is in conflict with their rival group, it may seem like villains are taking a back seat but all they are doing is preparing for something very big soon. A much larger plot has been developed by a sinister party that will affect heroes even more than they can even think of in upcoming "Revolution" storyline.

But since the event of M-Day, mutant population has been drastically decreased to a very minimal level worldwide. Their scanner shows them the sign of a mutant right behind them and they met the weather manipulating X-Man Ororo, also known as Storm as they turn. In her homeland, the goddess kicked out the soldiers while two full grown up pet tigers that came with her, engages the rest of the militants. She gave that soldier a pretty hard time and then drops him on the ground after quite a spin in the atmosphere, which they pretty much deserved.

X-Men member Psylocke had previously died in a battle and recently she have re-appeared again in the X-Mansion. Psylocke's brother, Jamie Braddock appears in the mansion and he seems a bit insane of some sort this time. Nightcrawler and Marvel Girl kicked him on his chin to knock out but then he created a small illusion that caused them fighting each other, each thinking the other as Jamie. Psylocke and Cannonball joins the brawl but soon they also starts having the same illusion as Rachel and Kurt. Bishop caused some distraction that allows Psylocke to beat up her brother but Jamie killed all the X-Men by unleashing The Fury. Soon, he restores them back to life and informs that he is here to help them save the universe from The Foursaken and the event is of so much importance that Uatu the Watcher has also arrived.

New Avengers – The Collective | Comics

House of M changed the world and now a major threat rises from its ruins for New Avengers to face-off.

Before New Avengers were formed following a massive prison break at Raft, both The Avengers and X-Men band together to confront Wanda Maximoff AKA Scarlet Witch in Genosha. Their face-off resulted millions of mutants losing their power due to her reality-altering abilities except a hundred few and it was kept a secret from all.

From outer space, a beam of energy starts heading towards Earth and landed on North Pole, Alaska, killing many people with a massive explosion. Out of piles of dead bodies and wreckage comes out a glowing man screaming in his loincloths.

S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Maria Hill calls in Tony Stark after they have gone public with their new team and asks him about "House of M", which he narrowly avoids answering. Hill is called in for a Red Alert situation that turned out to be recent destruction of Alaska and her initial response to send in some agents have failed pretty miserably.

Unable to get a hold of Fantastic Four, she contacts Alpha Flight when that energy crossed Canadian border but they all ended up being decimated within moments. Hill then calls for U.S. President, who suggests that she puts her arrogance away for a moment and call New Avengers for help now that the alien being is headed to America.

New Avengers – The Collective | Comics

Unable to come up with any other solution, Maria Hill reaches to Avengers and updates them on the situation. As they talk, it already reached Cleveland and Captain America asks for S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Daisy Johnson. For additional backup, he talked to Bob Reynolds and calling for The Sentry but he was having a nervous breakdown.

Iron Man reaches out to Ms. Marvel for support and went to talk to this being who spelled out his name as Michael but before he could talk further, Carol Danvers attacked him from behind only to get struck down. She tried to approach him as she could absorb all energy and realizes that her cosmic Binary powers have been reactivated.

Spider-Man is sent to S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier with a task to lead "Team Two" and Tony reaches out for Vision of Young Avengers. Michael strips down Iron Man of his armor but Carol came in to save Tony from him. She then tried to hurt it back again only for The Sentry came swooping in at last minute and took him straight to space.

Ms. Marvel explains to Cap how it is like being kicked by fifty different super powers at once. In space, both Michael and Sentry were besting each other for some time before Bob is pushed far away and it headed back to Earth. Spidey and Vision helped S.H.I.E.L.D. figure out who this being could be before they are taken out for more info.

They found match to Michael's power with all depowered mutants in M-Day and Iron Man theorizes that "The Collective" energy of those powers had nowhere to go and then it found him, who was just an energy-absorbing mutant. After some debate, they decide to let the being pursue its course and see where it wants to go.

Michael then arrived straight to Genosha, former home of million mutants that has become a barren wasteland. There, he starts expelling all of that energy, causing massive power surge and it attacks a depowered Erik Magnus AKA Magneto. Things seem to quickly get out of hand but then Steve Rogers pulled on his secret weapon.

Ghost of Genosha!

S.H.I.E.L.D. was aware that both The Avengers and X-Men knew something about this oddity but refused to share details with them. Therefore, its current Director Maria Hill seemed to act a bit antagonistic towards Stark and his New Avengers.

Nearing the end of their previous adventure "Secrets & Lies", Ms. Marvel came by for a visit and given a slight hint of M-Day when she met Captain America. A new trouble arises in horizon because of newly issued Superhuman Registration Act that will create a major rift within superhero community, causing a "Civil War" to set them apart.
