In "Tales from the Vault Part 2," Iron Man arrives at the Vault to help contain a breakout, met with suspicion after his past role in the last prison escape during the Armor Wars.

In "The Absorption Principle," Quasar faces off against the Absorbing Man during the chaos of Acts of Vengeance, as the villain gains dangerous new powers by absorbing the Quantum-Bands. With the city at risk, Quasar must find a way to contain the escalating threat before the absorbed energy spirals out of control.

In "Hurting Inside," Boomerang targets a Stark Enterprises division on Justin Hammer’s orders, hunting for secrets about the Ghost. Loki’s subtle manipulation drives him to confront Hawkeye, turning a corporate raid into something far more personal.

In "Flies in a Cathedral," Quasar pursues the Living Laser across the Moon and into the Watcher’s sanctuary, where time and space bend unnaturally.
