Marvel's Avengers Assemble

Black Widow.

Black Widow!

Argh, how do you stand this noise?

What's wrong, Hulk?

I thought music was supposed to soothe the savage...

You know, you.

I only like music I can smash to.

Something heavy.

And metal. (GRUNTING)

Came to tell you Iron Man wants us for some meeting.

Ooh, er, sorry.

It's fine. My workout was done anyway.

Inhumans. Secretive superhuman people.

Keepers of the Terrigen Mist.

Terrigen transforms them.

Sometimes, with monstrous results.

Terrigen Mist has no effect on humans.

And yet somehow it turned a human kid into Inferno.

Maybe the kid wasn't human?

What if Inferno was really an Inhuman and didn't know it?

If Inferno was Inhuman,

how'd he wind up in upstate New York?

It doesn't make any sense.

Scary.

Living a normal human existence,

then in a random moment it's taken away from you forever.

Changed into something else.

Welcome to my world.

You know what else is weird?

We make all friendly with Black Bolt and the Inhumans

but since Inferno went to go live with them,

we haven't heard a thing.

And right on cue.

Lockjaw? What happened?

Uh-oh.

Oh.

Since I can't ask the dog,

anybody know where he teleported us to?

Aye, Hawkeye. This appears to be the Inhuman homeland.

Attilan.

Uh, hey, guys.

The welcoming committee is here.

And they don't look happy to see us.

So, this is what Attilan is like.

It's not what I pictured.

It's still nice though.

Other than the killer robots.

Avengers, hit 'em up the middle!

Huh?

Is this really Inhuman tech?

The design looks familiar.

Who cares? Just keep smashing!

There are too many of them!

We're gonna be overrun!

Captain America.

His Royal Highness Black Bolt beckons you Avengers to retreat into the palace.

You heard The Seeker. Fall back!

Okay, Black Bolt, tell us what's happening here.

Without actually telling us what's happening here.

These robots,

since taking over Attilan, they've hunted and captured Inhumans.

Including the new citizen Inferno and nearly all of the royal family.

Thus, Black Bolt sent Lockjaw for you.

No one else is left to defend Attilan from the robots

and their ruthless leader.

Ultron!

The Avengers.

Your presence here is unexpected.

And ultimately insignificant.

Ultron is back in one piece.

Let's remedy that.

Bravado in the face of certain annihilation.

The Inhumans felt the same way.

Before I conquered them.

Such chaos and disorder.

Is there any question why you must be eliminated...

Whoa!

It feels like this every time we tangle with Ultron,

but he's even more kick-butt than the last time.

Lockjaw, teleport us away, now.

Where did they...

Huh?

Just when the fight was getting good.

Hulk, you think all fights are good.

What is this place?

A secret lab built in the ancient catacombs beneath Attilan.

It has served as a safe base of operations

in our struggles against Ultron and his robots.

Ultron doesn't do anything without a reason.

So, what is it he wants with the Inhumans?

Where's he going? Hmm?

Maybe Ultron wants something from Attilan?

A resource or something?

A strategic base?

And it appears we lost our interpreter.

Nice setup you have here.

Ultron seizing Attilan has slowed my research,

but I have still managed a breakthrough.

My experiments have revealed conclusively that Inferno

was actually a latent Inhuman.

And he didn't know?

How is that possible?

Humans and Inhumans must have lived together in the past.

Their descendants possess Inhuman DNA.

Descendants like Inferno.

Who knows how many of my kind are living among humans

and don't even know that they're one of us.

Imagine if the Terrigen accident that created Inferno had been bigger...

That is one big crystal of Terrigen Mist.

This is only a prototype

but a device like this could awaken a new generation of Inhumans

with unimaginable powers.

You can't just expose people to the Mist.

What if they don't want powers?

You'd be making the decision for them.

Yeah, but then again,

we don't always get to choose our destiny.

Indeed.

Seeker!

What are you doing?

Exactly...

What he was told.

Something's wrong.

Ultron's found us.

This is only a small-scale version

of my Terrigen dispersal device.

Terrigen dispersal?

You want to help The Seeker find more Inhumans?

I care nothing for Inhumans.

But I needed this device for my own purposes.

Tricking The Seeker into designing it for me...

What? And betraying his own people,

was most simple.

But we had a deal!

And without the crystal, the device will only...

Disappointing.

The prototype merely phase-shifted The Seeker away.

I'll have to increase its power.

After I get rid of you.

Hulk, can you smash?

Can't smash the net,

but I can smash the wall.

Huh. You're only delaying the inevitable.

Ultron's got some new toys.

And lucky us, we get to break 'em.

Bad dog.

Lockjaw! Ultron,

when I'm done with you, you're gonna need a mechanic.

It is more efficient to destroy you with the rest of your pathetic species.

Huh?

Your actions serve no purpose.

I have your family and I have your city.

And soon, I will have you.

Temper, temper.

Black Bolt, wait!

Falcon, Hawkeye, with me.

Fire in the hole!

Avengers, comlink signal's weak but if you can hear me,

use this transmission to trace my location and meet up with us.

We're after Ultron. It looks like he's trying to escape out the bottom of Attilan.
