A disguised team of U-Foes attack
the Vault, overpower the Guardsmen, and free the superpowered prisoners. They
are being watched by a mystery woman all in white (it’s the new White Tiger).
Their success pleases their mysterious and megalomaniacal employer….
At his office in Oracle, Inc.,
Danny Rand, in his Iron Fist outfit, is fighting training robots when he is
distracted by news of the break-out at the Vault on the TV and clouted by a
robot. He meets with his CEO, Jim Hammond (the original Human Torch), and they see
that the world is growing crazier and something must be done….
Hulk is jumping through the
Southwest when he suddenly can’t breathe and crashes to the earth. Vapor of the
U-Foes has entered his lungs so the others can fight him. Hulk is knocked out
by Ironclad and a control disc is attached to the back of his neck….
Iron Fist visits his old pal
Luke Cage at his movie theater and explains how he wants to put Heroes for Hire back
together. He asks Luke if he would like to come back but Luke declines, not
wanting to be a superhero any more.. Disappointed, Danny heads home, unaware he
is being trailed by White Tiger….
A symposium of scientists is
meeting at the United Nations Plaza to discuss the Onslaught event. The U-Foes,
with Hulk as their henchman, enter and take everyone hostage….
Hercules is hanging out at a bar
when a dude, jealous that Herc is “movin’ in” on his buddy’s girl, hits Herc
with a chair; Hercules is delighted and throws both men through the window,
gives a bag of gold to the manager for repairs, and sits with a group of
attractive women, regaling them with tales of the Avengers. Then he sees on the
television about the U-Foes and Hulk at the UN and decides he must bring down
the Hulk….
In his limousine, Iron Fist
receives a call from Jim Hammond alerting him to the events at the UN and he
heads over. He discovers in the building schematics a way into the meeting room
where the scientists are being held and races through a service tunnel. There
he meets White Tiger who introduces herself and asks to join him. Danny is
dubious but agrees to the teaming. They reach a vent looking onto the meeting room
and find the U-Foes placing control discs on the scientists and Danny notes
there is one on the Hulk. Then Hercules comes crashing into the room so IF and
WT decide it is time to join in. White Tiger battles Vector and Herc takes on
Ironclad while Danny tries to reason with Hulk. Soon he gives up and uses his
signature move to destroy the disc on Hulk. Once freed of the villains’ power,
Hulk is angry; he thunderclaps to disperse Vapor, then joins Herc in giving
Ironclad the old one-two. The villains flee and Danny decides Herc is too
disoriented to follow so has the heroes aid the hostages….
Iron Fist is interviewed on the
evening news, explaining how Hulk was a captive of the U-Foes and he is
reforming Heroes for Hire to offer help in exchange for a donation to charity.
Watching, Spider-Man finds this plan dubious. Hercules and White Tiger join the
firm, with Danny hoping for more….
The mystery villain, who has the
Controller prisoner, reveals himself to be the Master of the World….
