How did this happen? How could they have gotten a hold of them? Those discs are mine.

The secure.

Nick Fury, you are relieved of your duties as Director of SHIELD.

In addition, all of SHIELD's operations are suspended until further notice.

As of this moment, SHIELD is under the direct control of the Global Security Council.

The mass prison break of supervillains, thanks to Loki, SHIELD put out of commission, the discs stolen and the kids with bio-codes abducted.

So far, we've been taking a beating. But that all changes now. Right, Samurai boy?

Right, 'cause the Earth's mightiest heroes are together again and ready to strike back. And it all begins with...

Avengers, assemble!

End of Spider-Man.

Go Avengers, go!

Yeah!

They're not as tough as they look. They can only stay out of the discs for five and a half minutes.

We just have to hold them off that long and we win.

Five and a half minutes is plenty. The course of history can be altered in far less time than that.

You'll soon find out that it can take less than the wink of an eye for justice to triumph over the forces of evil.

Would someone put a cork in this guy?

Get out of here!

Let him try making speeches with a mouthful of... modoc missiles!

Sounds like the party started without me. Well, I can't be lying around down here.

That's amazing! Now Wasp, do your thing! Wasp, sing!

I see you're forgetting my psionic force field!

If you've been paying attention the last time we fought, you'd realize that your puny little attacks are totally useless against me.

They just bounce right off my impenetrable defenses and fall harmless...

I think she meant to do that.

You'll never learn.

Try some repulsors. Man, this guy's slippery.

I've got him!

Your shield can't stop this!

Cap, you okay?

Cozy, let's see you try and escape from the one and only Cobra Twist.

Sorry, Snake Eyes, but I don't dance the twist.

I don't know if you're a human or a reptile, but one thing I'm pretty sure of.

You're not a fish, so how long can you hold your breath?

Delivery! One order of sea snake, extra soggy.

An all-right shield tackle!

They say it tastes just like chicken.

Let's go. Let's take my time's up. Leave it to me. You've got it.

You all right, Hulk?

No. Why wouldn't I be?

That was quite a fall you took.

You think I'm weak or something?

Listen, that time we fought, I went easy on you. I was holding back.

Oh, smash beauty man!

Shield throw!

Hulk smash!

Where are you hiding?

Right here!

Lesson one, focusing all your energies into an attack means you're neglecting your defenses.

I knew if I waited just long enough, that temper of yours would lead you into committing a grave tactical mistake.

You wouldn't have survived if I hadn't held back.

Care to prove that? On him?

Yeah, I'll prove it all right.

Well, come on then. We'll do it together.

Tell me the reasons behind this madness. Speak! What does your master Loki plan to do with the discs?

I will ask one more time, mortal. What is it my brother is planning?

Very well. If you won't speak.

We've got bigger problems than them. It's Loki.

Loki? Where is he?

Closer than you think.

What does this mean? Loki?

It hasn't changed since we were children. It's so easy to trick you.

Almost too easy.

Except a blast!

About time you showed up.

Where have you been?

Please, I need not explain myself to you.

Oh yeah? That's what you think.

Save it for later. Isn't it about time you got us out of here, Loki?

Hm. Abomination?

Loki?

Think this shit!

What?

Hang on!

So long, suckers!

Loki?

Fare thee well, brother.

But we haven't desecured Modok and the others.

We're out of time.

No. Stop them.

Milner grow!

Just a minute.

Cap, desecure those super-villains. Quick! Got it.

Heads up!

Point them at the villains and shout, "Desecure!"

Desecure!

So cool!

Thor, make sure that Ed and Jessica get safely aboard the jet.

Very well.

Wasp, have you seen Spider-Man?

Down in the hold!

Uh-oh. Could this be the end of the Spidey Show?

Tune in next time.

If there even is a next time.

This way! Not much farther!

We have to keep going!

Attention! We now interrupt our regular programming to bring you the following special news bulletin.

What's happening?

Good morning. This is Rosetta Riley for BNC News, with the unfortunate task of having to report a tragic and shocking development.

Shocking to people all over the world, but especially to the people of New York.

Sad to say, Spider-Man is no more.

As we reported earlier, the epic battle between the Avengers and the super-villains aboard a hijacked tanker resulted in the tanker sinking.

It was believed that all the superheroes had gotten safely off the ship.

But this video, acquired from an anonymous source, clearly shows that Spider-Man was being held a prisoner in the ship's hold when it went down.

And so, hard as it is for New Yorkers to believe, it appears that the web-slinging days of our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man have at last come to an end.

It was just days ago that Spider-Man was performing the sort of heroics for which he is famous and so beloved, risking his life to defend the city of Boston from the ravages of the creature known as Abomination.

Unfortunately, that proved to be his last battle. During the fight, he was overcome and taken prisoner, ultimately to meet his tragic fate.

In a related development, a spokesman for the Global Security Council announced today that the government plans to rein in the activities of superheroes.

Senator Robert Winters was quoted as saying that freelance vigilante groups such as the Avengers will no longer be tolerated.

According to Winters, all superheroes will soon be regulated by the government.

Spider-Man is gone? No way! It's not true!

We'll keep you informed of any further developments. This is Rosetta Riley reporting.

It's gotta be true. Or else she wouldn't be reporting it.

There's no way around it. This is the end of Spider-Man.

What?

Hey, look up there!

We love you, Spider-Man!

Well, hello, New York!

Thanks! It's good to see you, too! Thank you!

You don't know how good. I almost didn't make it.

You okay?

Nice move. Sometimes the quickest way to find a door is to make one yourself.

Guys, there's just one thing I want to say.

You can save it for later. Right now, we've got to get out of here.

Never did get a chance to say it. Oh, well. Better later than never.

Thanks.

Thanks.

A tactical victory.

The enemy may have gotten away, but we completed our mission.

Well done, everyone. I'm proud of the way you all performed.

Whoa, Cat! When did you get promoted to General Isimo?

Look, I'm fine with you giving a rallying cry.

Assemble!

You've got just the right tone of corny sincerity, but that doesn't make you leader of this outfit.

That job's already taken.

Is something on your mind, Akira?

Just glad you're okay. And, hey, you finally called me by my first name.

Don't get used to it, Samurai boy.

Come on, it's not that hard, is it?

What a lame-o.

I'm not really that lame, am I?

No comment.

Well, let's get on home. A victory like this deserves a party.

It is now official. The President, responding to proposals from the Global Security Council,

has just announced that, as of today, all superheroes will be regulated by the government.

He hoped this action would address growing public concern

over the large number of supervillains who escaped from the prison facility at Rikers Island.

Officially called the Superhero Registration Act,

the resolution requires all superheroes to register with the government

and have their activities monitored.

Yes!

While some experts say the act goes too far,

the President made clear that compliance is mandatory.

Any superheroes who fail to register will be detained.

The President is smart enough to know that even he can't be a citizen.

He's a citizen of the United States.

He's a citizen of the United States.

He's a citizen of the United States.

He's a citizen of the United States.

He's a citizen of the United States.

He's a citizen of the United States.

He's a citizen of the United States.

He's a citizen of the United States.

He's a citizen of the United States.

He's a citizen of the United States.

He's a citizen of the United States.

The President's smart enough to know that even he can't ignore a directive from the Security Council.

And so, checkmate Avengers!

Break it down!

It's clear.

What? Impossible!

An international jet-setter like me has got hangouts all over the world.

Including Japan, naturally.

I just wish we could have seen the look on their dumb faces.

Japanese food's the greatest!

Ooh, got any California rolls?

California rolls are Californian.

So the government wants to control all superheroes now.

I hate to think what might have happened if you hadn't stepped in and given us a heads up.

Thanks, Hawkeye.

Yeah, well, we want to get S.H.I.E.L.D. up and running again.

So we need all you guys to stay in the fight, not sit on the sidelines.

Any other information comes my way, I'll be sure to let you know, Cap.

See you around.

Yeah! Stick with us!

I'm more useful staying where I am.

Well, good hunting!

Whose place is this?

Well, an old acquaintance.

Yeah, you already said that. What kind of acquaintance?

Huh?

It's been too long, Tony Stark.

Allow me to present Silver Samurai.

Hi. How are you doing?

You know, I'm not really getting much of a hero vibe from this guy.

I'm not surprised, considering he's a villain.

What?

One of the most powerful and dangerous crime lords in all Japan.
