Suggested by jeanpaulvalley
Set a few months after the events of "The Thunderbolts: The Price of Freedom". The U.S. government begins to give in to the fear of mutants, trusting the extreme agenda of Senator Graydon Creed and his weapons manufacturing partner, Bolivar Trask, to create the "Sentinels" program. General Ross shares his doubts about using artificial intelligence to ensure the protection of this nation, before being curiously targeted by the mysterious "Winter Soldier". He escapes thanks to his superpowers and reunites his team, the Thunderbolts being ready to strike again, being notably joined by Baron Zemo, who knows things about the Winter Soldier, much to the Punisher's displeasure. For her part, Mystique is forced to target her own son, Graydon, to protect mutants, and will end up joining Ross team to protect the world from this program which risks exploding in everyone's face. With the Ghost Rider with them, the Thunderbolts intend to strike again to spread justice... like lightning !
