As SHIELD’s newly formed hero initiative begins to take shape, a mysterious strategist named Baron Helmut Zemo emerges with a plan to dismantle it before it can succeed. Rather than attacking the world, Zemo targets its protectors, assembling the Masters of Evil—villains drawn directly from the Avengers’ past failures. His first strikes are precise and personal. Iron Man is ambushed by Yellow Jacket and Venom, forcing SHIELD to deploy the Hulk to turn the tide. Captain America is lured into a trap by the Enchantress and the Executioner, only surviving when Spider-Man intervenes. Meanwhile, Ant-Man and the Wasp are overwhelmed by a devastating trio—Arnim Zola, the Red Hulk, and Crimson Dynamo—until Thor and Black Panther arrive to save them. Each attack exposes SHIELD’s vulnerability and proves Zemo’s point: these heroes are strongest apart, and dangerous together. Realizing they are being systematically tested and divided, Nick Fury officially unites the team as the Avengers: Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Panther, Spider-Man, Ant-Man, and the Wasp. Zemo launches his endgame at the Raft, triggering a mass breakout to release the gravitationally powered supervillain Graviton. The Avengers confront the Masters of Evil in an all-out battle across the prison. Enchantress and the Executioner, Crimson Dynamo, and Yellow Jacket all die. Zola, Red Hulk, and Zemo are captured while Venom escapes into the chaos.
