After a falling out between Iron Man and Captain America, the Avengers disband for no reason at all. Kamala Kahn/Ms. Marvel doesn't like this and is trying to keep the team together. But, Cap and Iron Man won't listen to her. However, Justin Anderson/The Beyonder arrives and helps her out with this problem. Justin then brings her to the ruins of an old starship that crashed on Earth a while back and they spruce it up together and tells Kamala that A.I.M. is not to be trusted. They, along with the black-ops group Weapon X, have been capturing people, be they Inhuman, Mutant or normal and experiment on them and based on their performance, they would either stay or disappear. And also, the Justice League is in disarray due to Superman and Batman arguing about the contingency plans Batman had for the League, should they ever go to the side of evil or something like that. And even Young Justice is having problems. So Justin gets May Parker and Maria Hill of S.H.I.E.L.D. to help him and Kamala form a new team of Avengers, one with a few of the surviving members and some new kids, but they got several other allies to help them out, especially Elliot Heywood, a young man who is on a mission to get rid of A.I.M. for good, to do that, Elliot fights them as Ghost Rider. Plus, a familiar face returns, who is it?
