synopsis:
The Avengers appear on Earth and witness the entire world set ablaze from the increasing heat
of the sun. Finding a newspaper, they notice that the date is
in the future, and in an attempt to free themselves, Wanda attempts to
use her hex powers. The group then find themselves transported back to
their proper point in history. They walk to what they think is Avengers
Mansion, to find that Nighthawk is inside. Thinking he is the Nighthawk
of the Squadron Sinister, the Avengers attack him, but Nighthawk manages
to get away. Finding the whole situation suspicious, the Avengers
decide to proceed with caution and enter the war room of the mansion.
There they run into other members of the Squadron Supreme: Lady Lark,
Hawkeye, Tom Thumb, and American Eagle. After a brief battle, the Avengers soon realize they aren't on
their own world when the Squadron gets a message from their other
teammates Dr. Spectrum, Hyperion, and Whizzer, explaining that they are
launching a satellite called "Brain-Child One" into space. Realizing
that the satellite is possibly what will doom this world, the Avengers
try to explain the situation but soon find themselves in yet another
battle with the Squadron, a battle that the Avengers quickly win.
