The Avengers does not exist anymore but a threat from beyond the stars forced Earth's Mightiest Heroes to assemble once again.

There was a time when Avengers member Scarlet Witch and Vision was a couple who eventually married but got separated unfortunately. Years after, they are still friends and helps out each other in times when needed. So, Wanda Maximoff was expecting her ex one evening who wanted to talk about something he needs help with.

He starts seeing several different avatars of her that seems like some haunting apparition for the synthezoid being he is. He opens up about how he is having hallucinating lately about an earlier era when he joined The Avengers and met her, including Black Panther, Captain America, Goliath, Hawkeye and even his creator Ultron.

Though Wanda suspects for him having some memory malfunction, he reveals that he even had such instances with recently deceased people that he failed to save. Vision points out the problem was not within his memory but strong emotions for her deeply rooted within his system that he had to purge, which have her taken aback.

Months after entire universe was restored following "Time Runs Out" and "Secret Wars" event, there was no longer a team of Avengers. Currently acting as All-New Captain America, Sam Wilson saves a family from falling off a bridge and meet Tony Stark by chance who offers him a ride after briefly attending a gathered crowd there.

Meanwhile, a Chitauri warlord known as Warbringer teleports to former Avengers Tower only to come across its new owner Mister Gryphon of Qeng Enterprises, who claims to be an ally to the alien who came here looking for Nova and offers to guide him to three ancient Chitauri artifact that will guarantee him victory over human race.

While discussing their plan, Spider-Man, Miles Morales is busted eavesdropping on them and thrown out. He stumbles onto Tony, who then heads back to the scene in his Iron Man armor by transforming his car. When trying to gang up on the big angry alien, it charged them with a powerful solar flare attack that took down all three of them.

Miles patched up Cap and Vision arrives to aid Tony out of his armor by completely dismantling it. Gryphon comes to confront them about the mess they made and asks compensation for damage done. In search for the hidden artifact, Warbringer reaches New Jersey and confronts Ms. Marvel before Nova could rush in to charge at him.

These two are soon joined by rest of the heroes after the alien escaped to looks for the second artifact. The Mighty Thor joins in but Gryphon teleported it to destroy the underwater tunnel they all were in and the Chitauri escaped once again.

Guided by Gryphon, he managed to open a portal to invite an invading army from his homeworld but interrupted shortly by a bolt of lightning from Goddess of Thunder. Seeing them all being overpowered by his superior might, Iron Man sees no way other than they open portal and close it as soon as they send him back.

Gryphon secretly attempts to help Warbringer but he is soon pushed to other side by his nemesis, the Human Rocket. Tony reassembled an All-New Avengers team with a diverse cast of heroes and everyone is happy. However, Vision seems to act out of character now that he has purged his emotions and even blackmails young Nova.

Avengers – Next Avengers | Comics

Commander Steve Rogers assembled The Avengers once again when Kang The Conqueror has come crushing the party from the future to seek help!

In a distant future, villainous Immortus falls onto his knees before five shadowy figures and pleading how he was there at their birth and will be present to witness them dying. Once regarded as Master of Time, he is killed by a bolt of lightning.

To assemble all heroes and re-form The Avengers once again after the fall of Norman Osborn and his Dark Avengers following their Siege on Asgard, Captain Steve Rogers rallies together a group of heroes to become a band of heroes the world needs right now. All except Wonder Man does not agree to his idea and thinks of it as a big mistake.

Nevertheless, Commander Steve Rogers went on to recruit his old friend Bucky Barnes and former Winter Soldier as the new Captain America, along with long-time teammate Hawkeye, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, Thor and Wolverine for a brand-new team of the Earth's mightiest heroes with former S.H.I.E.L.D. director Maria Hill as its leader.

Other members joining the party includes Beast, Black Widow, Doctor Strange, Hulkling, Iron Fist, Jessica Jones, Justice, Kate Bishop, Luke Cage, Mockingbird, Ms. Marvel, Patriot, Speed, Stature, Tigra, Vision, War Machine, Wasp and Wiccan with some representing other superhero teams like New Avengers, X-Men and Young Avengers respectively.

Suddenly, Kang the Conqueror arrives from future to alert them of a threat but before he even finishes announcing his arrival, Odinson quickly blasts him off the tower. To make them listen to him, Kang shows them a doomsday device that Tony Stark will build in near future that is capable of mass destruction and everyone stops immediately.

Avengers – Next Avengers | Comics

Then he explains, in a future timeline, where Ultron has ruled all by destroying all heroes and establishing his own utopia, only for the children of the Avengers to rise up to its tyrannical rule and then took over his empire but without any guidance, these gifted youngsters have ushered such ruthlessness that needs to be stopped before it's too late.

Trying to stop Ultron before the children could do so with different allies and weapons, only to fail many times over; Kang came seeking help from The Avengers but knowing they probably wouldn't trust him, leaves them to find their own way to future and told them that they would know how to look into future when their team is complete.

Wolverine suggests that he know someone who can help them with unique expertise of dimensional travel. So, they all pay a visit to Noh-Varr AKA Protector who was busy tussling with Titanium Man. Tony asks him to build a time machine so that they can go to future and stop their future offspring from being oppressing jerks.

In Avengers Tower, Noh-Varr finishes making the device and it starts projecting visions of possible futures, they see Immortus being executed by their children, the Next Avengers. Before that timestream collapses, they see an elderly Hulk, who calls himself Maestro and as they prepare to travel to future, Wonder Man comes crushing.

While his old friends are in awe seeing him getting jumpy, he explains how the superhero Civil War, Secret Invasion of the Skrulls and Osborn's Dark Reign were all the result of their own reckless actions over the years, which is why they should disband themselves for the collective good of everyone before getting blasted off by Marvel Boy.

Tony asks Noh to rebuild his machine and then a future version of Apocalypse appears through timestream with his four horsemen. Chaos breaks in all of a sudden but the crowd shortly realizes that the Eternal Mutant is here because time is broken. Iron Man tries to talk to En Sabah Nur but he and his Horsemen are then pulled to elsewhere.

Maria Hill suggests Captain America, Iron Man, Marvel Boy and Wolverine head to their apocalyptic future. She then sends Hawkeye, Spider-Man, Spider-Woman and Thor to New York City to cross paths with Killraven and Devil Dinosaur. Followed by an invasion of Martians, even the mighty cosmic devourer Galactus makes a surprise appearance.

Avengers – Next Avengers (Softcover)

Avengers – Next Avengers (Hardcover)

Two of the greatest comics talent of the comic-book industry, writer Brian Michael Bendis (Age of Ultron, Avengers Disassembled) and artist John Romita Jr. (Avengers Vs. X-Men, World War Hulk) teamed up in 2010 for Marvel Comics to revamp one of the greatest superhero team in comics, The Avengers with a brand-new ongoing series.

Even though the first issue of the story rallied up a huge roster of superheroes together, a smaller group of them actually got involved into plot. Many of the assembled members from New Avengers, X-Men and Young Avengers team would not even appear to rest of the book but most probably reserved for near future appearances.

Menace From Beyond Time

"Next Avengers" takes place on the fourth monthly ongoing volume Avengers comic series, collecting issues #01-06. Bendis sets up a premise on future crisis where Kang the Conqueror is troubled with next generation of young heroes and Ultron has finally succeeded in destroying all life-forms by crushing every resistance on his maniacal way.

It eventually paved the way for a new Heroic Age in Marvel Universe and would be continued with a new arc titled "Infinity Quest" up next where the team will tackle a threat greater than what they have already dealt with in a future ruined by their children and a conflict of interest among its members regarding long-kept dark secrets.

Incredible Hulk – Tempest Fugit | Comics

In the endless bottom of the ocean, a giant shark is seen approaching forward and its hit by something in the middle. When near it is revealed that its body is torn in half and The Hulk is seen standing behind holding the other half of the shark. When Hulk was moving on, a giant octopus grabs his leg and drags him down to the bottom of the ocean but a raging Hulk beats it hard and starts ripping apart its' limbs, causing it to flee.

Incredible Hulk – Tempest Fugit | Comics

When he reaches to the shore, Hulk turns into Banner and is rescued by two stranger Ripley and Green. They all ran for their life after having been chased by a monster out of nowhere. Just about when they thought they are safe after moving to a corner, the Gray Hulk appears and threatened to smash them all. Upon standing on his feet, Dr. Bruce Banner quickly turns into the Hulk again to fight back and engages with his old incarnation.

Many punches are exchanged between these gamma-powered goliath till one fell. When Gray Hulk is subdued by the green Hulk, it turned out to be an imposter posed by a Mindless One. As this takes place, someone from a place unknown is keenly watching over the fight. While Hulk was trying to figure out what is going on, the legendary Fin Fang Foom enters the scene. As he tried to obliterate the Hulk after he refused to kneel before the Dragon Lord, Hulk taught him a good lesson he would remember for some time.

Ripley and Gwen are then approached by General “Thunderbolt” Ross on the other side of the jungle who led them to a secret military base called Project Smash in this mysterious Monster Island. Meanwhile, in a flashback sequence, a younger Bruce Banner is seen to have trouble in his school life and he is talking to his imaginary friend Hulk, who suggests him to smash all the puny humans. He gets beat up for standing up for a girl, his school taechers are worried for him and his abusive father tries to reach out to him.

General Ross was taking Ripley and Gwen to the facility but then gets attacked by a ferocious two-headed dog. As the situation was not crazy enough, the feral X-Man with a nasty temper shows up to slice and dice things up and so does a certain Conqueror. Or maybe someone else is responsible for the whole show.

"Tempest Fugit" is another hit storyline by writer Peter David (Captain Marvel, Spider-Man – The Other), along with artist Lee Weeks (Daredevil, Hulk Smash Avengers) that ran for five issues of the second ongoing volume of The Incredible Hulk comic series from Marvel Comics, collecting issues #77-81. The entire plotline revolved around a lot of mysteries and came to the conclusion of a grand scheme by the villainous Nightmare.

This storyline has resolved the year long mysteries Bruce Banner were having all along with him and has a wide array of guest appearance like the villainous Kang the Conqueror, Banner’s old pal Doc Samson and Wolverine. This story might raise the question in your mind at times that either Doctor Banner or the writer himself is losing grasp on the reality around him.

Young Avengers – Sidekicks | Comics

When The Avengers are fallen, a group of teen superheroes assembled as Young Avengers and goes up against an enemy from future.

In absence of original team of Avengers, a new group of young superheroes caught attention to press when they pulled off a few civilian recues recently. J. Jonah Jameson of Daily Bugle sends Jessica Jones to investigate these four "Young Avengers", who are going by the names of Iron Kid, Lieutenant America, Teen-Hulk and Thor Junior.

Soon as she went outside, Captain America and Iron Man arrives at her office to talk to her in private. They intend to shut these kids down before they hurt themselves but asks for Jessica to help find them. That evening, these youths showed up once again to rescue a wedding party kept hostage by five gunmen at Saint Patrick's Cathedral.

Taking out those bad guys, they argued with each other about how to tackle this situation and even had help from bridesmaid. As they were leaving, Jessica hands out her card to Hulkling, who recognized her as former costumed hero Jewel. Regrouped at former Avengers Mansion, Patriot stormed off after a brief debate with Iron Lad.

Promising to meet again next day, they all depart and Iron Lad steps inside the destroyed Mansion only to find Captain America, Iron Man and Jessica Jones waiting to talk with him. It is then revealed that he came in from thirtieth century and assembled these young heroes in an attempt to stop his future self; Kang the Conqueror.

Brave bridesmaid of Saint Patrick's Cathedral wedding from earlier, Kate Bishop waits outside of Metro-General Hospital while her father was throwing tantrum at staffs for not admitting her immediately. She is asked about her encounter with Young Avengers by a girl who introduces herself as Cassie Lang, daughter of second Ant-Man.

Cassie is apparently looking for them to join team and Kate leaves hospital premise with her as well. Meanwhile, young Nathaniel Richards explains that he escaped from future so he doesn't become Kang. Arriving here on 21st century, he learns that The Avengers were disbanded already and all he could do was finding remains of Vision.

Asgardian and Hulkling bumped into Patriot on their way as they were heading to former Avengers Mansion. They come across Cassie and Kate there, who wants to go inside to get her father's Ant-Man costume and gears. As Patriot refuses to allow her in doing so, an argument ensues between them and caused Cassie to grow into giant-size.

Richards explains that he downloaded all programming and data files found within the android Avenger into his armor. Their conversation is interrupted and they go outside to see an enormous Cassie Lang lying unconscious on ground. Cap and Kate helped her shrink back to normal size as Iron Land introduces his friends in Young Avengers.

Richards states that he found a failsafe program in Vision's protocols that lead him to next wave of Avengers. Moving Kate aside, Cap talks to them about their secret identity and is now interrupted by arrival of Growing Man. Instead of growing, it splits into small-sized replicas when attacked and Nathaniel recognizes those as stimuloids.

In their response to where their master is, he tells them he is their master and they sends out a signal to thirtieth century Kang of his location. Tricking them into Mansion's training facility, Cap and Iron Man locks them up to call their parents. Conversing whether Richards's story is true, Kang the Conqueror showed up from his future.

Young Avengers Vol 01 – Sidekicks

During hiatus of mainline Avengers series following "Avengers Disassembled" event, Marvel Comics launched a spin-off monthly ongoing titled Young Avengers in 2005. "Sidekicks" marks its first storyline collecting first six issues conceived by writer Allan Heinberg (Avengers – The Children's Crusade, Young Avengers – Family Matters).

Heinberg was aided by artist Jim Cheung (Astonishing X-Men – Life of X, Avengers & X-Men – Axis) for illustration. Bunch of new characters that has some ties to members of Avengers team are introduced with more to reveal in future. For their first real-adventure, they took on one of The Avengers' deadliest foes, Kang the Conqueror.

There is a slight continuity error about Eli Bradley claiming his grandfather Isaiah Bradley being first Captain America, which was never pointed out throughout the story. By end of this story, Asgardian changes his code name to Wiccan as Kate Bishop suggested, Cassie adopts her new alias as Stature with exception of Hulkling and Patriot.

Proving themselves worthy of being called Young Avengers, these young heroes finds a new base of operation and decides to continue operating in spite of Cap's disapproval. Next up, these kids take on an ever bigger threat in "Family Matters" storyline as they become target of two alien races, Kree and Skrulls over one of their ancestry.

Black Bolt | Comics

An Inhuman descendant of the Royal Family, Blackagar Boltagon is the king and the leader of their race. When his mother was pregnant, he was exposed to Terrigen Mist and that gave him a destructive voice that projects quasi-sonic energy capable of leveling mountains. He was contained in a chamber and wore an energy-harnessing suit until he was allowed to enter the society at nineteen.

black bolt marvel
Black Bolt | Comics

His brother Maximus was involved in a conspiracy with the alien Kree and his forbidden voice crashed the Kree ship on the Council of Genetics, killing many along with his parents and caused Maximus's insanity, yet he was forced to take the leadership mantle. His rule and race was troubled by the intervention of humans and they were forced to move from Attilan to Himalayan Mountains.

In the middle of Kree-Skrull War, Black Bolt was assisted by Fantastic Four to find his betrothed Medusa and later by The Avengers to thwart Maximus. At the end of that war, he joined The Illuminati along with Doctor Strange, Iron Man, Mister Fantastic, Professor X and Namor. Their visit to Skrull homeworld led to the Skrull Invasion years later and then to War of Kings and Realm of Kings.

He also struggled when he and Medusa had a child named Ahura against the wish of the Genetic Council as his bloodline should not be passed on. His biggest challenge was when Black Bolt went against Thanos and detonated a Terrigen Bomb to usher a new age of Inhumanity. He went underground during the Infinity event while Medusa ruled The Inhumans as their queen.

Created by Stan Lee (Amazing Spider-Man, Captain America) and Jack Kirby (Black Panther, Eternals), The Inhuman King Black Bolt is a fictional character of Marvel Comics, who is literally the “Strong and Silent” type, made his debut on the pages of Fantastic Four #45, in 1965. Aside from being the key character of many storylines involving the Inhumans, Black Bolt was also a part of The Evolutionary War, Onslaught Saga, Heroes Reborn, Silent War, House of M, Son of M, World War Hulk and many other great stories.

The King's Lieges

He once even became the supreme ruler of the Kree Empire by defeating Ronan and holds possession of the "Reality Gem" as a member of The Illuminati. Though he went missing after his fight with Thanos, the aftermath of his Terrigen Bomb explosion have not only jump-started a new era for his race but also seem to effect the Mutant community as well as many of the X-Men members with M-Pox. Actor Vin Diesel is very much likely to portray the character of Black Bolt in the 2018’s upcoming live-action Inhumans movie.
