Iron Man assembles Mighty Avengers, a team of A-list members of Avengers and Ultron returns for ultimate revenge.
By the end of superhero "
Civil War", Tony Stark became new Director of
S.H.I.E.L.D. and he asks Carol Danvers to lead a new team of
Mighty Avengers. Danvers suggest for an all-powerhouse team with everyone level nine or higher but Tony wants to have some team dynamics within the mix by adding a few members who are street-savvy.
They start with
Wonder Man and
Wasp from original
Avengers team before moving to
Sentry, which Carol is very skeptical about. Given his time with
New Avengers, Tony realizes that they need a ninja, someone like Maya Lopez but since she is a fugitive on run right now, they go for Natasha Romanoff AKA
Black Widow instead.
When it comes to choosing substitute for a
Thor and
Wolverine, Carol took him to
Ares, God of War and though he didn't initially wanted to comply,
Iron Man managed to strike a deal with him. In between their recruitment, Tony has been receiving and responding to many emergency reports from around the globe about natural calamities.
Immediately after their formation, Tony and his allies get busy to deal with a situation in Manhattan where a group of monstrous creatures show up and causing mayhem. While fighting, Simon Williams pointed out that
Mole Man could be behind this and he is proven right when Harvey Elder comes out threatening them.

All of a sudden,
Iron Man's armor starts warping and after blasting everyone off nearby with a repulsor charge, a female figure appears in that place. When it is confirmed that she was the one responsible for their home being destroyed,
Mole Man sends his entire army after her only to be repelled and being completely molten into goo.
Despite
Ms. Marvel not wanting to engage, an attempt to attack her by
Ares and
Sentry has led them both struck with lighting but the latter still pursues to have his axe broken and zapped even harder. Though no one had the slightest idea who that silver-skinned woman was, Janet van Dyne confronted her to confirm it to be
Ultron.
Thinking Tony is still trapped within its shell and not dead yet, Carol orders her team to retreat as they can't even go near it and decides to come up with a better plan of attack. Leaving Sentry behind to deal with
Ultron, she leads her crew to
S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier looking for Henry Pym, who created the menacing murder bot years ago.
Hank was busy spending time with
Tigra and ignoring calls but then
S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were sent in to fetch him. To gain an upper hand in fight,
Ultron took over the Helicarrier and send it crushing down.
Sentry eventually saved it from falling with help from his fellow
Avengers and Natasha takes charge when Maria Hill is knocked out.
To make their worst nightmare come true, a drone similar to original
Iron Man armor called Starktech 9 flies in to inform that Tony Stark is dead, which is confirmed by Hank as he helped Tony create it as a fail-safe program for crisis like this.
Upon explaining how
Ultron is manipulating weather using a group of satellites, Bob and Simon totally trashed them off. She then announces to initiate "Plan B", which is to cause a complete blackout throughout New York by releasing an electromagnetic pulse and then breaking into Stark Tower to get to Lindy Reynolds, wife of
Sentry.

In post-
Civil War period,
Iron Man is Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. now and he puts
Ms. Marvel in charge of his new team. Although their first mission starts with facing
Mole Man and his army of Moloids, soon they are confronted by a literal ghost from past in form of
Ultron and none of them has expected him to make a comeback like this.
Among all of Tony's fellow heroes,
