Synopsis

A Tale Of Triumph And Tragedy... The twist. Instead of going after the Hulk as they did in the original Avengers tale, Hank Pym stops everyone and reminds them that the Avengers are purely volunteer-driven. No oath was taken. So Thor moves on, making Giant Man realize that as far as powers go, his are not exactly first class. So he and the wasp retire to become scientists. This leaves Iron Man on his lonesome to fight the now combined might of Namor and the Hulk. How does he decide to do it? He builds Iron Man Armor for the Avengers and the Hulk's sidekick Rick Jones. Everyone refuses to join him, so Iron Man ends up battling the two by himself, they nearly kill him, but at the last minute, the rest of the team shows up in Armor.
