->Written by Christopher Yost
Iron Man heads to the Gerlach Mountain Range in Slovakia to bust up an arms sale between Latveria and the [[NebulousEvilOrganization Advanced Idea Mechanics]] (AIM), part of which is stolen Stark tech. It has already been established that [[HulkSpeak stealing Stark tech make Stark mad]] so it comes as no surprise when he utterly trounces the hazmat-suited {{Mook}}s and their leader with the round helmet. The Latverian woman leaves peacefully with a threat from Iron Man that anyone who buys his tech will have to answer to him, even if the customer in question is the [[VillainWithGoodPublicity ruler of a small and powerful dictatorship]].
Nothing at all has changed with any of the superheroes' problems. Bruce Banner is still imprisoned in the Cube while Thor continues to perplex his fellow Asgardians as to why he cares so much about Midgard. Tony Stark is still a {{Jerkass}}. Ant-Man and the Wasp are still divided about whether or not to accept S.H.I.E.L.D.'s offer. Suddenly, a brief power fluctuation disables the security systems at all of the supervillain prisons and all hell immediately breaks loose.
->'''Mad Thinker:''' Boom.
Without Pym's technology to maintain it, the Big House immediately reverts to its original size and causes catastrophic damage to the Helicarrier. The Cube is flooded with lethal levels of gamma radiation from the mere presence of all the freed supervillains. S.H.I.E.L.D. agents try to fight back but they don't have a prayer against such an overwhelming number of superpowered beings.
From here, things get even more fast-paced, chaotic, and messy. Bruce Banner manages to escape with the aid of a gamma-mutated Leonard Samson while Hawkeye disables some criminals in the confusion at the Vault. Wasp and Ant-Man have their hands full dealing with the escapees at the Big House. Iron Man arrives at the Vault and begins blasting everyone, including Hawkeye who is still officially a HYDRA double agent, before being overwhelmed by the sheer number of enemies who have a personal grudge against him. Through his personal A.I. JARVIS, Stark issues a general evacuation order to all S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. The failure of the three supervillain prisons does not seem to faze Nick Fury at all. In fact, he's more concerned about the status of the top-secret fourth prison, the Raft, which houses some of the most dangerous and valuable supervillains, including a mystery man in blue and white who looks like he has forgotten the meaning of personal grooming.
Faced with the threat of so many gamma-powered enemies, Banner has little choice but to transform into the Hulk and fight his way out. Unbeknownst to him, the Absorbing Man and two other individuals are watching him through the Cube's security feed. The little green man orders the other two to go after him, but declares that he will stay and, from the prison, change the world.
At all three prisons, the superheroes fight their way to safety while Fury heads for the Raft, leaving Agent Hill in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D. in his absence. Unfortunately he arrives just in time to see his worst fear realized. [[GravityMaster Graviton]] has already awoken.
