Continued from "Operation Galactic Storm"
When we last left our heroes, they'd taken a suicidal plunge through the Kree wormhole and wound up staring down the Kree armada, while Black Panther aided them through the wormhole while taking a decidedly more suicidal plunge as his ship careened into the sun...
...Only Black Panther worked the Kree teleporter again, to send himself through the wormhole and into another ship. But that's not important now — our heroes still have to evade the wrath of the Kree, while stranded on the Kree homeworld itself, and their survival hinges on dealing with the real authority behind the Kree, the Supreme Intelligence. But how do you out-think something made of a thousand alien brains?
Tropes:
- Badass Boast: The Supreme Intelligence."You are an exceptional species that shows great promise. You have power within you, but in the Kree Empire, I am supreme!"
- Captain Obvious:Vision: It is inadvisable for humans to remain underwater that long.
Hawkeye: [coughing up water] Thanks for the tip, Vision. - Cold-Blooded Torture: Ms. Marvel and Cap are subjected to this while being studied by the Kree Scientists, but Cap breaks free before Wasp suffers as well. The other Avengers free Ms. Marvel soon after.
- Continuity Nod: The Supreme Intelligence lists all of the Avengers' prior confrontations against the Kree.
- Disney Death: Black Panther was willing to die in order to save Earth. He manages to escape at the last second after his ship is in teleprter range of a Kree ship, and only when the threat to the sun is eliminated.
- Everything Trying to Kill You: The Kree homeworld is a huge military base of sorts. As Mar-Veil warned, the Avengers's constant interference has all of the Kree after them. There are also hostile creatures half of the team face before being rescued by none other than Black Panther.
- Honorary True Companion: Cap says Mar-Vell is one of them and tells the Supreme Intelligence to back off.
- Hope Spot: Mar-Veil tries to convince the Supreme Intelligence to spare the Avengers, and Earth itself, because of their genetic potential. The Intelligence agrees to not destroy them. He would rather experiment on and dissect them instead!
- Huge Holographic Head: Except the Supreme Intelligence is a physical one.
- Humans Are Special: According to Mar-Vell. The Supreme Intelligence soon agrees—saying the Avengers have achieved more decisive victories against the Kree than even the Skrulls and Shi'ar.
- It's All My Fault: Ms. Marvel took the controls while trying to evade the Kree fleet. The quinjet not only got shot down but ripped in half, separating the team. She blames herself for it.
- Not Quite Dead: Black Panther turns up alive, revealing he managed to teleport to safety last minute.Cap: Glad to see you made it, Panther.
- Shut Up, Hannibal!:Supreme Intelligence: You chose poorly, Mar-Vell. Earth is filled with test subjects for experimentation. These Avengers are expendable, as are you.
Thor: [bursting in] Your army was found wanting, foul creature. Have at thee! [shatters the shield] - Training from Hell: Implied with the Kree training range filled with monsters.
- Wide-Eyed Idealist: After the Supreme Intelligence is crippled, Mar-Vell is resigned to the idea that the empire will collapse and thus doom his species. Cap argues that he can be the one to lead and show the Kree a more peaceful way of life.
- You Shall Not Pass!: As they're making their way to the Supreme Intelligence, Thor hops out of their stolen ship to pick a fight with the Kree. All of the Kree. His opening salvo involves summoning a hurricane and he apparently wins.
