The Avengers: United They Stand

NEW LIFE FOR A NEW WORLD,

NOT THAT THIS PATHETIC WORLD OF HUMANS DESERVES YOU, MY VISION.

NO MORE THAN IT DESERVES ME -- ULTRON.

NOW FOR THE FINISHING TOUCHES.

AND LIKE YOUR CREATOR, ULTRON,

YOU ARE PERFECT.

A LIVING MACHINE, VIRTUALLY IMMORTAL,

MY GREATEST CREATION.

VISION, YOU SHALL HELP ME

PURGE THE WORLD OF WRETCHED HUMANITY --

WEAK, CORRUPT FLESH BEINGS

WITH THEIR ILLOGICAL EMOTIONS.

ONLY ONE MAN UNDERSTANDS WHO WE ARE,

AND ONLY HE CAN STOP US --

HENRY PYM...

...THE LEADER OF THE AVENGERS.

HE SHALL BE THE FIRST TO PERISH.

CENTRAL PARK IS BRACING FOR A CROWD OF WELL-WISHERS TODAY

WHEN THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

WILL PRESENT A SPECIAL COMMENDATION

TO THE MANHATTAN-BASED CRIME-FIGHTING TEAM

THE AVENGERS.

LED BY SHAPESHIFTING SUPERHERO ANT-MAN,

THE AVENGERS ARE LOVED AND RESPECTED AROUND THE WORLD

FOR THEIR WORK AGAINST INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM

AND CRIMES OF MASS DESTRUCTION.

ENJOYING THE ATTENTION, DEAREST?

NO. NO, NOT REALLY.

I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT IT BETTER

THAT THE AVENGERS AVOID THE SPOTLIGHT,

BUT IT'S HARD TO SAY NO TO THE PRESIDENT.

HONESTLY, HANK, IT'S HARDER TO SAY NO TO ME,

AND I SAY WE'RE GOING.

OF COURSE, JAN.

YOU DESERVE TODAY. SO DO THE OTHERS.

SOMEHOW, I'M JUST NOT SURE I'M THE ONE TO LEAD YOU.

HANK, WHAT IN THE WORLD DO YOU MEAN?

I'M NOT EXACTLY CAPTAIN AMERICA

OR THOR OR IRON MAN, NOW, AM I?

WELL, NONE OF THEM IS DR. HENRY PYM,

WORLD'S GREATEST BIOCHEMIST.

HANK, WE HELPED FORM THE AVENGERS,

AND DON'T YOU FORGET THAT.

YOU ARE AS QUALIFIED TO LEAD US AS ANYONE.

NOW HEX MY ATTACK.

WINDS OF DESTINY, CHANGE!

AAH! OW!

OH, OH! I WARNED YOU, DEAR SIMON!

WHEN I CHANGE THE PROBABILITIES AFFECTING SOMETHING,

THE WORLD GOES A LITTLE BIT CRAZY.

OH, I'M NEVER SURE WHAT WILL HAPPEN.

OKAY, OKAY.

THAT'S WHY I NEED TO HELP YOU PRACTICE YOUR CONTROL --

EVEN IF IT KILLS ME.

OH, SIMON, YOU'RE SO NICE.

YOU LOOK AFTER ME LIKE NO ONE ELSE.

WHAT WOULD I DO WITHOUT YOU, EH?

HEY, HAWKEYE, I WANTED A REAL WORKOUT.

TIGRA, WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO?

HA HA!

NOW, READY TO MEET THE PRESIDENT?

I JUST HOPE HE'S READY TO MEET US.

AVENGERS, ASSEMBLE!

COMPUTER, IDENTIFY SOURCE OF DISTURBANCE.

LOCATION -- 112th AND LENOX.

THAT'S THE PRESIDENT'S CHOPPER!

WHERE DID THOSE WEAPONS COME FROM?

I KNOW THIS IS NEW YORK, BUT COME ON!

AVENGERS, LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO MEET THE PRESIDENT

SOONER THAN WE THOUGHT.

AVENGERS, ASSEMBLE!

CENTRAL PARK NORTH, SUBSONIC.

ACKNOWLEDGED.

HAVE THE AVENGERS TAKEN THE BAIT?

NOT YET, MY CREATOR.

THEN PRESS HARD.

WE WILL NOT ALLOW THE TARGET VEHICLE TO ESCAPE.

OH, NO!

SOMEBODY PICKED THE WRONG NEIGHBORHOOD TO SHOOT UP.

COME ON, RED WING!

BRING THEM DOWN.

PRIMARY TARGET ANT-MAN HAS ARRIVED.

ISOLATE AND DESTROY.

INITIAL ATTACK NEUTRALIZED.

HERE WE GO.

HAWKEYE, WONDER MAN, TIGRA, SCARLET WITCH --

DROP-AND-GO MANEUVER 12.

EXECUTE!

OPEN 'ER UP.

YAH!

THANKS, WHOEVER YOU ARE.

THIS WAY, MR. PRESIDENT!

BRING THEM DOWN.

HAWKEYE, PROTECT THE PRESIDENT!

GET DOWN, MR. PRESIDENT!

PRIMARY TARGET ANT-MAN.

MY ARROW DIDN'T MAKE A DENT!

GOT YOU COVERED, HAWK.

W- WHERE'D THAT GUY GO?

WINDS OF DESTINY, CHANGE!

NO, YOU DON'T.

TAKE THIS!

TIME FOR A TUNE-UP.

THERE YOU GO, MR. PRESIDENT.

WHO'S THE BIRD GUY, ANYWAY?

MISSION PARAMETERS HAVE CHANGED.

DESTRUCTION OF ANT-MAN IMPOSSIBLE AT THIS TIME.

ABORT, MY VISION.

RETURN TO BASE NOW.

WHERE'S HAWKEYE?

HERE, LAB RAT.

SOMETHING FOR YOU TO PLAY WITH.

HAWKEYE, I TOLD YOU TO PROTECT THE PRESIDENT.

I DID!

THEN I TOOK ON MR. BRIGHT EYES TO SAVE YOUR JET.

LEAVING YOUR POST GOT THE PRESIDENT HURT.

HE AND HIS DAUGHTER COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED.

SORRY.

THAT'S NOT FAIR!

THE GOVERNMENT GIVES THE AVENGERS A FREE HAND

AND EXPECTS THEM TO PRODUCE RESULTS.

IF YOU CAN'T DO THAT, MAYBE WE'LL HAVE TO STEP IN.

WE CAN'T HAVE A BUNCH OF LOOSE CANNONS

ENDANGERING THE PUBLIC OR THE PRESIDENT!

EXCUSE ME, MR. SIKORSKY,

BUT THE AVENGERS HAVE SAVED MORE LIVES THAN YOU CAN COUNT.

YOUR BOSS AND HIS KID WOULD BE SQUIRREL FOOD

IF WE HADN'T BEEN THERE.

THE PRESIDENT DOESN'T SEE IT THAT WAY,

OUT OF HIS ONE GOOD EYE.
