Plot: While the Hood makes a captive hero an offer they can't refuse, the stress of Trauma's situation is opening the way for a threat far deadlier than even Norman Osborn. What could possibly be dangerous--and powerful--enough to threaten both the Initiative and the Avengers Resistance? How about an other-dimensional demon lord bent on conquering our plane...and it's not Dormammu. With both the heroes and villains in disarray, who can save us?

Plot: Norman Osborn has a problem. Prison 42, the facility in the negative zone designed to hold imprisoned super-heroes and villains alike, has been overrun by Blastaar. He wants it back. He's ordered Taskmaster and Constrictor to use the Initiative to take it back. Johnny Guitar was a small time hood, who was chosen to be part of the new 'Shadow Initiative' that will be sent to take back 42. But he's overheard Taskmaster and Constrictor talking, and he's aware that his group is nothing more than cannon-fodder to soften up Blastaar's forces. But sometimes even losers can win.

Plot: The Skrull which replaced Hank Pym is reminiscing about some of his "victories" in this form, as well as near escapes. One of his choices was to assign the new 3-D Man to the team in Hawaii, not knowing he's inherited the Skrull detecting goggles of the original 3-D Man. Once able to detect Skrulls on sight, he spots the Skrull on this team, and heads back to Camp Hammond to warn the rest. Afraid of exposure, Crusader uses the Freedom Ring to impact 3-D Man's abilities.

Boulder in particular lacks the promise one would initially expect; he's completely invulnerable, to the extent that his physiology cannot be changed at all. He can't gain or lose weight, nor does exercise affect him in any way. Can he convince his peers and commanders that he's worth keeping?

Only able to steal one vial of the tech, he barely manages to return to the barracks before The Gauntlet arrives to start the day's training. But on this day, Hardball learns the price of his actions. Because the one vial of the S.P.I.N. technology he replaced with a dud is the vial that Iron Man attempts to use to nullify the Hulk. Because of Hardball, Iron Man failed, and the Earth may pay the price.
