5	''Avengers: No Surrender'' is a 2018 BatFamilyCrossover by Creator/MarvelComics, published as part of their "[[ComicBook/MarvelLegacy Legacy]]" initiative and featuring ComicBook/TheAvengers at its core.
6
7	Released weekly, it [[ComicsMerger combines]] Creator/MarkWaid's ''ComicBook/{{The Avengers\|MarkWaid}}'', Creator/AlEwing's ''ComicBook/USAvengers'', and Creator/JimZub's ''ComicBook/UncannyAvengers'' into a single title they each co-write, while Pepe Larraz, Kim Jacinto, and Paco Medina provide the art.
8
9	Imagine waking up one morning and realizing something's totally off. Now imagine said thing that's totally off is that, somehow, the Earth is ''not'' where it's supposed to be. This is what's happening and to solve this mystery, the three Avengers teams - the main group, the American Idea Mechanics, and the Avengers Unity Squad - as well as many other former Avengers, must assemble like never before.
10
11	To complicate matters, Thanos' Black Order and the Lethal Legion are dropping in for some "fun." And in the middle of it all is a mysterious woman named Voyager, who claims to be a member of the original Avengers... but is she really?
12
13	''No Surrender'' ran for a total of sixteen issues, unofficially leading up to the release of ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' in April 2018. An {{interquel}}, ''ComicBook/{{Quicksilver}}: No Surrender'', was published after the conclusion of this storyline. A weekly sequel, ''ComicBook/AvengersNoRoadHome'', was released in 2019, with most of the same creative team returning. ''ComicBook/ImmortalHulk'' also followed from this series, following the exploits of a newly resurrected Hulk.
14
15	----
16	!! ''Avengers: No Surrender'' contains examples of the following tropes:
17	* AbsurdlyHighStakesGame: During its climax with a [[spoiler: poker game.]] Begins with Lightning betting his freedom to free another Avenger. Then betting his life for two comrades' freedom. Then he bets '''Earth to be destroyed''' against Earth to be restored. Then Lightning bets that the loser will ''be erased from history'', and [[spoiler: Grandmaster folds]]. Try to match ''this'', ''Manga/{{Kakegurui}}''!
18	* AndIMustScream:
19	** Why the Challenger is so pissed off with the Grandmaster, having spent an eternity on the Farthest Shore, the place beyond the edge of existence.
20	-->''Beyond all life, and death... at the edge of mystery. Where there is no time, no space, no self. Where all you are is not. Where each picosecond lasts forever and forever, without end... there, I waited in the dark, in the cold, alone and friendless.''
21	** As the Hulk is coming back to life yet again, Bruce is having an internal monologue pleading for help, stating that the Hulk can't die. The desperation is comparable to their situation in ''Incredible Hulk: The End'', where Bruce is similarly trapped with a Hulk that won't let him die.
22	* ArcWelding: All of Bruce Banner's previous brushes with, or just outright actual, death(s) are cited as examples of how Bruce just cannot die.
23	* ArtifactOfDoom: The Pyramoids obliterate the person who touches them. [[spoiler:Lightning is too slow to warn the Human Torch of this before his grandstanding gets him obliterated. However, it turns out that they actually just teleport those people to another location, encased in crystal. Red Wolf guesses it based on the Black Order and Lethal Legion's lack of hesitation in touching the pyramids. Hulk ends up smashing the last one, bringing an end to the game.]]
24	* AvengersAssemble: Voyager makes the call for all Avengers, active and reserve, to gather at the mansion.
25	* BackFromTheDead: Bruce Banner and the Hulk, snapping up alive with their third revival in less than two years.
26	* BatFamilyCrossover: Every current lineup of Avengers --the main team, the [[ComicBook/UncannyAvengers Unity Squad]], and the [[ComicBook/USAvengers American Intelligence Mechanics]]-- feature into this arc.
27	* BatmanGambit: Ultimately [[spoiler:Lightning defeats the Grandmaster in a game of poker despite the fact that he barely knows the rules by raising the stakes to such a level where the Grandmaster couldn't risk losing while his opponent would have made the sacrifice in the name of saving the world]].
28	* BattleTrophy: Partly because it's useful and partly as a "screw you" gesture for Johnny's "death", Rogue takes Corvus Glaive's weapon as her own.
29	* BigBadEnsemble: The Grandmaster and the Challenger, an until-recently unrevealed member of the Elders of the Universe.
30	* BigDamnHeroes:
31	** Hawkeye (dressed in his old costume) and Red Wolf drop in at the end of Part 7 to stop a member of the Lethal Legion from getting a Pyramoid.
32	** In issue 9, as Beast is getting gnarled by the infection in Jarvis' brain, Nadia swoops in and helps kill it.
33	* BloodKnight: Drall of the Lethal Legion loves fighting, and killing.
34	* BreakingTheFellowship: This story marks the end of the post-Secret Wars era of the Avengers with multiple teams, and instead [[ComicBook/TheAvengersJasonAaron consolidates the franchise to one single "All-Star" team]].
35	* BroughtDownToNormal: Iron Patriot and Enigma, whose armors are destroyed, and Red Hulk, whose gamma radiation is drained, all get depowered by the Immortal Hulk.
36	* TheBusCameBack:
37	** Onetime Avenger Living Lightning -- now simply calling himself Lightning -- makes his first substantial appearance in many years with this story, and is said to be an important part of the story.
38	** Red Wolf, who was last seen as part of a BolivianArmyEnding in the final issue of ''Occupy Avengers'', returns in part 1, confirming his survival in ''ComicBook/SecretEmpire''.
39	** Captain Glory was a character last seen in Grant Morrison's ''Marvel Boy'' series, now sporting a new outfit.
40	* CallBack:
41	** Issue 2 has several scenes from the early days of the Avengers, only now with added Voyager. Her disappearance is explained as being the result of the Avengers' fight with the Squadron Sinister, from all the way back in Avengers issue 70.
42	** The Challenger was exiled from the universe by the Grandmaster, only managing to get back in after "[[ComicBook/SecretWars2015 everything died]]".
43	** Issue 10 begins with an extended prologue of Bruce Banner recounting the many, many ways he and the Hulk have died over the years.
44	* CameBackWrong:
45	** The Hulk is back, because he just can't die. Ever. Also, he's the Challenger's minion.
46	** Vision gets smashed by Hulk, and is seen undergoing repairs in the final issue. In ''ComicBook/Champions2016'' #22, he arrives home, and Toni Ho and Nadia Van Dyne reassure Viv and her Champions teammate Snowguard that Vision is back to normal. But once the Champions pick Viv, Nadia and Snowguard up, Vision and Toni discuss the truth... his internal systems are failing, doesn't want Viv to know... he's dying. This is why Vision isn't on Jason Aaron's Avengers team.
47	* TheCameo: [[spoiler:The original Wolverine shows up as part of the "Where is Wolverine?" after-"credits" page, another hero paralyzed in stasis.]]
48	* CaptainErsatz: The [[spoiler: fictional]] villain Victory, a member of the Squadron Sinister, is easily this for minor Justice League character (and fellow Mark Waid creation) Triumph -- their designs and name are practically the same. In addition, Triumph was a founding Leaguer who was wiped from everyone's memory, just like Voyager and Victory for their respective teams.
49	* CastFromLifespan: Thanks to his Terrigen poisoning, Sunspost's powers burn off years of his life with every use, and he already burnt through a few during his involuntary stay in a HYDRA camp during ''Secret Empire'', but at the climax he figures the situation is desperate enough for it to not matter.
50	* CharacterShilling: Issue 2 has Falcon, the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver telling everyone just how gosh-darn great Voyager is. Which would be suspicious even if Quicksilver wasn't holding a JerkassBall toward everyone else, but has nothing against this mysterious hero we've never seen before.
51	* ChekhovsSkill: [[spoiler:Lightning's poker skills (or lack thereof) come back in the climax in order to get the Grandmaster to [[LostHimInACardGame restore the Earth and the captured heroes to its proper place]].]]
52	* ComicBookDeath: Black Dwarf and Johnny Storm touch the pyramoids and supposedly die. [[spoiler:Turns out they're just teleported to the Grandmaster's lair.]]
53	* ComicsMerger: ''Avengers'', ''U.S.Avengers'', and ''Uncanny Avengers'' are consolidated into a single title for this story arc, published once-a-week for roughly four months.
54	* ContinuityNod:
55	** The head of the smuggling ring Lightning busts recognises him from the Rangers, his team during the days of the Initiative.
56	** As they fight, Black Dwarf taunts the Metal Master by reminding him his distant predecessor was once defeated by someone with a cardboard gun, all the way back from the original ''Incredible Hulk'' issue 6.
57	** Voyager takes the Avengers teams to a mysterious bunker that only she knew of. As it turns out, Tony Stark actually built it way back when, in ''Avengers'' issue 13.
58	** In issue 5, the Grandmaster refers to Earth as "the Avenger's World", the ArcWords of Jonathan Hickman's run, before citing the various things the heroes of it have done, such as beating the Phoenix, and Thanos, and [[ComicBook/TheUltimates2015 changing Galactus' very nature]].
59	** Sunspot tries fighting off Mentacle's psychic intrusion using the "red triangle" technique taught to him by Professor X. As with ''U.S. Avengers'', it doesn't work.
60	** Beast gets a view of Avengers history going through Jarvis' brain, including in a little bit of a cheat, the covers from ''Avengers'' vol 4 issue 1 and vol 5 issue 1.
61	** Squirrel Girl grumbles about the Avengers choosing to beat up the Challenger rather than trying to reform him, much like how she grumbled about Songbird kicking Vermin in the face back in ''New Avengers''.
62	* CurbStompBattle: The Immortal Hulk vs. the remains of the Lethal Legion and the U.S.Avengers. General Glory's back is shattered and Mentacle is seemingly driven mad by his attempt to control the Hulk. Pieces of Enigma's suit are ripped off, causing intense pain to her, Hulk casually slaps Cannonball away, Quicksilver breaks his ribs trying to catch him and Lightning's full power attack does absolutely nothing. It gets worse as General Maverick is stripped of his Red Hulk form by the Hulk draining his gamma radiation then damages Vision's head. Not even the might of Hercules and the Jane Foster Thor is enough to stop him.
63	* DaddysLittleVillain: [[spoiler: Voyager is actually an alien. She's the daughter of the Grandmaster and acts as his ace in the hole, in this game her role was to be a fake Avenger, however she wants to try something new and challenge her father for the Grandmaster title.]]
64	* DecoyBackstory: When she was first introduced, Voyager claims to be an original founding member of The Avengers, having been erased from existence because of Victory the Electromagnetic Man. Thanks to Edwin Jarvis, he exposed the truth that she had never been an Avenger in the first place, implanting fake memories regarding her personal history to make her story more believable. [[spoiler:It's eventually revealed that she's the daughter of the Grandmaster and her real name is Va Nee Gast. She was sent to Earth to act as his ace to reclaim his title as the Grandmaster, as Earth was chosen to be the battleground for the contest.]]
65	* DistaffCounterpart: Voyager acts as one to ComicBook/TheSentry, what with the both of them being supposedly Silver Age superheroes who were "forgotten" due to a cataclysmic threat, although she brings significantly less baggage with her return.
66	* DueToTheDead: Captain Glory salutes what he thinks is Johnny Storm's death.
67	* EarlyBirdCameo: Voyager first appears in the ''Marvel Legacy'' one-shot, showing up in a statue bust of the founding Avengers at Avengers Mansion.
68	* ExactWords: As is well know, Cannonball is nigh-invulnerable when he's blasting. Emphasis on the "nigh". He's not designed for head-on collisions with Mjolnir.
69	-->'''Rogue:''' Lot of room in that "nigh", Sam.
70	* FakeMemories: This turns out to be the case with [[spoiler: Voyager's entire alleged backstory and history with the Avengers, as she actually implanted herself into their minds to manipulate them.]]
71	* FatalFlaw:
72	** Pietro suffers from a majorly wounded pride due to getting Synapse injured by the Juggernaut. [[spoiler:This ends up biting him in his speedy little ass when he decides to run off to save one of the Avengers teams, only to be affected by Wanda rescuing Vision from the statis, putting him at the mercy of the Lethal Legion.]]
73	** Johnny Storm is stuck in the past, putting down the Falcon over Reed Richards. [[spoiler:This ends up ultimately biting him in his fiery ass as he decides to grab the Pyramoid before Lightning can warn him, seemingly getting him obliterated.]]
74	* TheFellowshipHasEnded: The final part has the three teams declaring their dissolutions and desiring to return to their normal status quos.
75	* FleetingDemographicRule: An event based around the dissolution of the current Avengers line-up to make way for a relaunched book with a different, more high profile cast? Sounds a lot like ''ComicBook/AvengersDisassembled''. Tom Brevoort even acknowledged this, saying that ''No Surrender'' could be seen as ''Disassembled'' for the modern era of Avengers books that began with ''ComicBook/AllNewAllDifferentAvengers''.
76	* FunWithAcronyms:
77	** After everything's over, Toni Ho reforms her branch of AIM into R.E.S.C.U.E.
78	** Nadia makes her own version of J.A.R.V.I.S.. When the actual Jarvis asks what it stands for, she admits she has no idea.
79	* GrandFinale: Mark Waid has described this storyline to be the ''ComicBook/AvengersDisassembled'' for the ''ComicBook/MarvelNOW2016'' Avengers team.
80	* {{Handwave}}: While at microscopic size inside Jarvis, Beast notes that the Pym Particles are going the breathing for him. Then he notes "best not to dwell on the how of it".
81	* HeadbuttingHeroes: Rogue and Quicksilver -- in fact, Pietro only came back ''because'' of Voyager.
82	* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Voyager realizes she's made a big mistake and decides to side with the Avengers instead of her father once she sees how amazing the team is.]]
83	* HeroicSacrifice:
84	** Red Wolf grabs the fourth pyramoid to save the Earth.
85	** Nadia shrinks Beast down so he can save Jarvis from his illness, while she plans to grab the fifth pyramoid. It doesn't work when she can't actually touch it.
86	** [[spoiler:Quicksilver pushes himself beyond the limits of his usual speed and vanishes, grabbing the Grandmaster's stasis beacon.]]
87	* ICanStillFight: General Maverick, despite Toni trying to point out, ''repeatedly'', that he is in absolutely no condition to do so.
88	* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: In their battle, Rogue absorbs Corvus Glaive's powers and then shoves her arm all the way through his chest.
89	* IronicEchoCut: In issue 13, the scene goes from Jarvis assuring Bruce Banner to never give up, to Toni Ho declaring she gives up trying to fix Vision.
90	* ItsAllMyFault: [[spoiler:Lightning takes Johnny's ''supposed'' death seriously because he wasn't fast enough to do so. Later on, he takes Vision getting smashed personally.]]
91	* {{Jerkass}}: Quicksilver, [[SarcasmMode just for a change]]. His internal monologue has him grumbling and complaining about everyone else, being a condescending ass about his sister, then complaining some more when she tells him to just do what he's told for once.
92	* KillAllHumans: [[spoiler:The Hulk knows what the Challenger's endgame would result in, and is totally onboard with it.]]
93	-->'''Hulk:''' When the game ends, Earth ends with it. No more ''puny humans'', Simon. Just me. ''Alone. Finally.''
94	* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:While Aikku is alive, the Engima Suit, thus what was left of Pod, is rendered inert by the Hulk.]]
95	* LackOfEmpathy: [[spoiler:Lightning asks Grandmaster if he even cares about his daughter, as the Challenger prepares to kill her. His response is an immediate "no".]]
96	* LaughingMad: Hulk, after getting punched into orbit by the Challenger.
97	* LetsYouAndHimFight: A villain-on-villain example. The Black Order and the Lethal Legion tussle on first meeting, until a pair of ominous voices (later revealed to be the Grandmaster and new villain the Challenger) tell them to knock it off.
98	* LivingOnBorrowedTime: Thanks to literally saving the world, Roberto has no idea how much longer he has left to live, so he's stepping back from everything.
99	* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Before Vision is refrozen, he attempts to ask Wanda who Voyager is, showing that not everyone remembers her. [[spoiler:This becomes a plot point, as Voyager is a mole that can implant memories, but only in organic brains, necessitating Vision as one of the Avengers put in stasis.]]
100	* MindRape: Supergiant unleashes it on Metal Master, forcing him to relive being exiled by his people.
101	* MonumentalDamage: The Coliseum in Rome is torn apart by the Black Order and the Lethal Legion tussling.
102	* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: At the end of the event, when Earth is restored to its normal place, Sasquatch notes it. Then he adds that the moon's been returned as well under his breath.
103	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone:
104	** Wanda ultimately realizes her spell that ended up temporarily freeing Vision didn't work at all and it got Quicksilver injured.
105	** Bruce Banner is horrified by what the Hulk does to the [=USAvengers=] and tries his best to stay away from the others.
106	* TheNarrator: Each issue has a different character narrate the events of the main story:

120	** Part 15: Lightning
121	** Part 16: Edwin Jarvis
122	* NoSell: Lightning unleashes a full-power blast on the Immortal Hulk, nearly passing out from the strain. It doesn't do a thing.
123	* NotWorthKilling: Corvus Glaive's opinion of the Avengers, after seeing their reaction to Johnny's apparent death.
124	* ObfuscatingStupidity: At first glance, the Hulk is in an state of UnstoppableRage, and the Avengers assume it's a case of a mindless Hulk stuck in "Hulk ''SMASH''!" mode... then, during his fight with Vision, Hulk crushes his solar gem. And speaks.
125	-->'''Hulk:''' Hnh. "Mindless".
126	* OhCrap: Falcon, on realizing Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive are right on top of Avengers Mansion, and about to blow them up.
127	* PeoplePuppets: In order to get at one of the pyramoids, Captain Glory has Mentacle take control of one of the Blood Brothers. The guy pleads with Mentacle to let him go, knowing what'll happen if he touches the pyramoid.
128	* PlanetaryRelocation: The Grandmaster transports Earth out of its usual position in the universe in order to pit the Avengers against the warriors selected by his rival, the Challenger.
129	* PunctuatedForEmphasis:
130	** The end of the Challenger's monologue on rage.
131	-->'''Challenger:''' Rage is silent. Rage is cold. Rage cannot be stopped... ''(full shot of a very angry Hulk)'' And it never. Ever. Dies.
132	** Bruce, on Clint's shooting him in the head with an arrow, and the failure therein.
133	-->'''Bruce:''' I asked you... ''made'' you... made you ''shoot'' me... through the ''brain''... with an ''arrow''.. and it didn't. Even. ''Work''.
134	* PunctuatedPounding: Hulk whaling on the Challenger, blaming him for his and Banner's latest resurrection.
135	* RagtagBandOfMisfits: By the end of part one, the Avengers teams are condensed to about 20 - Hercules, Thor, Falcon and Wasp (Nadia Van Dyne) of the Avengers, Rogue, Quicksilver, Doctor Voodoo, Scarlet Witch, Beast, Wonder Man, Synapse and the Human Torch for the Unity Squad, Roberto Da Costa, Toni Ho, General Maverick, and Cannonball of the U.S.Avengers, Hawkeye and Red Wolf of the Occupy Avengers and Lightning.
136	** From Part 4-6, the Human Torch [[spoiler:seemingly dies from touching a pyramoid]] and is replaced by Wasp (Janet Van Dyne).
137	** After Part 7, Enigma replaces Red Wolf.
138	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Wonder Man tries to talk the Hulk down. The Hulk fires back with a blistering speech against Simon.
139	* RedHerring: Voyager's real name, "Valerie Vector", is quite similar to the first names of '''Valeria''' Richards and her uncle '''Victor''' Von Doom... [[spoiler:but she has nothing to do with either character. She's really the Grandmaster's daughter.]]
140	* RememberTheNewGuy:
141	** This arc prominently features Voyager, an all-new character who was (supposedly) a founding Avenger forgotten by time.
142	** Issue 2 reveals Voyager was (supposedly) removed from reality by Victory, a member of the Squadron Sinister we've never heard of before.
143	*** [[spoiler:She is actually the Grandmaster's daughter who implanted memories of herself into the Avengers' mind.]]
144	** It's eventually revealed that the Grandmaster's opponent is a fellow Elder of the Universe known as the Challenger. He was the former Grandmaster and En Dwi Cast's closest friend and brother, as his greatest game opponent. Unfortunately Gast jealously strove to outdo him, engaging games with higher and higher stakes until their last, where the loser is banished to [[ContinuityNod The Far Shore]], and the winner claims the title Grandmaster. His return is due to the multiverse dying and being resurrected during the recent Secret Wars.
145	* SavedByCanon: Human Torch's apparent death was revealed to be fake almost immediately by Creator/ChipZdarsky when responding to fans asking him how the Torch's death would impact him writing ''[[ComicBook/MarvelTwoInOne Marvel 2-in-One]]''.
146	* SequelHook:
147	** Quicksilver's story ends in Part 14, setting the stage for ''Quicksilver: No Surrender''. In issue 16, Brother Voodoo and Scarlet Witch ask Synapse to join them in searching for him.
148	** The story ends without revealing just ''what'' the mysterious Green Door Bruce keeps seeing whenever he dies is, leaving it to be explored in ''Immortal Hulk''.
149	* SherlockScan: Red Wolf had developed a technique of sorts to realize when someone is hiding something important or to call a bluff. He's able to tell that the Lethal Legion know something a lot more than they are letting on about the Pyramoids through their actions and is convinced that touching them do not kill people like the other Avengers assume.
150	* ShoutOut: In issue 13, Jarvis quotes ''Paradise Lost'' when Bruce is feeling worse than usual about himself.
151	* SpottingTheThread: When Jarvis comes out of his ConvenientComa, he warns Beast and Nadia that there's no Voyager at all. Beast realizes he's right - having shrank into Jarvis' body and saw the memory portion of his brain, Beast saw ''nothing'' of her at all anywhere.
152	* SpinOff: Has three, ''Quicksilver: No Surrender'', ''The ComicBook/ImmortalHulk'' and ''Black Order''.
153	* TheStarscream: [[spoiler:Voyager to her father, the Grandmaster.]]
154	* TheStinger: At the end of issue 16, Voyager is shown trying to reform the Challenger by showing him images of the Avengers.
155	* StraightGay: Lightning is shown to be this, only stammering a bit when he talks to his love interest.
156	* SupermanStaysOutOfGotham: A lot of the Marvel Super Heroes are taken out in the first issue. Carol Danvers and Alpha Flight are left behind and are stuck trying to find out where they disappeared to and many heroes, including Captain America, the ComicBook/{{Champions\|MarvelComics}}, [[ComicBook/XMenGold the X-Men gold team]] and Black Panther are paralyzed by a mysterious blue aura that also affects some of the Avengers. It's said other costumed types are affected, both hero and villain, so it's just not them
157	** It's because only a certain number of heroes are allowed on the field, and if one of them is taken out, another one is freed from stasis to take their place. Case in point: Johnny Storm [[spoiler:is teleported to the Grandmaster's lair]] and replaced with Janet Van Dyne in Part 6.
158	* StrategySchmategy: [[spoiler:Lightning manages to bluff the Grandmaster into folding in a poker game despite the fact that he "doesn't play" and barely knows the rules.]]
159	* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: The new Metal Master in the Lethal Legion is pretty much a carbon copy of the old one but, seeing as he died in the Black Bolt solo title, this one takes his place.
160	* TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: Wonder Man tries to talk to the Hulk through Banner, but changes his tactics to get through to the Hulk and make him realize he's been used.
161	* TemptingFate: Quicksilver is partway through a preemptive smug gloat when Wanda, in the process of unfreezing Vision, causes him to freeze up in front of the Lethal Legion.
162	* ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: Invoked by Rogue when the Unity Squad is dealing with a tidal wave.
163	--> "Anyone got [[ComicBook/SubMariner Namor]] on speed dial?"
164	* TonightSomeoneDies: The solicitations for issue 4. It turns out to be [[spoiler:Johnny Storm, though unbeknownst to the Avengers he's not dead.]]
165	* TrashTheSet: Avengers Mansion gets obliterated in Part 3, with Voyager barely teleporting everyone away in time. The Avengers Bunker follows suit in parts 10-12.
166	* TwoGirlsToATeam: The founding Avengers lineup becomes this, accounting Voyager's retroactive inclusion. The current-day flagship team also counts for this, with ComicBook/{{Thor\|2014}} and ComicBook/TheUnstoppableWasp serving as their only female members. The other two teams avert the trope.
167	* WhatTheHellHero:
168	** When Jarvis is injured by fallen debris, a hysterical Nadia tells the remaining active Avengers of it, but when Rogue decides that they must ignore him in favor of the rest of the world, she chews her out for it and runs off, causing Beast to follow her. Quicksilver even gets in a nice jab at the beleaguered Unity Squad leader.
169	** When [[spoiler:Red Wolf claims a Pyramoid]], Falcon calls out Hawkeye for casually letting him take it. However, Hawkeye shoots him down, telling him that he trusts Red Wolf and his intuition that the act isn't lethal.
170	* WhileYouWereInDiapers: Quicksilver interrupts Cannonball explaining he's nigh-invulnerable when he's blasting with an angry declaration that he's known Sam since he was in short-pants.
171	* WhoDares: The Hulk gets in a few painful punches on the Challenger over his unwanted resurrection, but the Challenger knocks him into space, shouting "HOW '''''DARE''''' YOU?!" over being injured.
172	* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Jarvis comforts Bruce after he's finally calmed down, convincing him that he shouldn't be defined by the actions that the Hulk has done, but the actions he does as Bruce Banner.
