Avengers by John Byrne Omnibus #[nn]

When Wanda wakes to find the Vision gone, the Avengers' calm shatters—only to be shattered further when a menacing fake Ultron robot assaults the compound. As Pym uncovers a deeper conspiracy, he realizes the missing android, the attack, and the erased files on Vision’s history are all linked by a hidden hand pulling the strings.

In "Better a Widow...", the Avengers uncover the dismantled Vision in a government facility, igniting fury in Scarlet Witch as she reacts with devastating force. Meanwhile, a gathering of mutants is being assessed on a college campus, their fate hanging in the balance.

In "Avengers Assemble!", Captain America unites the team’s past and present, bringing together current and former Avengers to form a new, flexible force with dual bases and a rotating roster. With most of the team gone, the core members face a sudden assault from the Lava Men.

In "There Is a Fire Down Below," the Sub-Mariner fights alongside the Avengers in a volcanic clash against the Lava Men, a race born of ancient fire and now driven to vengeance. Taken to their smoldering realm, the team learns from Jinku, the Lava Men’s witch doctor, that their very presence has doomed the Lava Men—and that the demon Cha'Sa'Dra, their creator, was slain by the Avengers during the Inferno crisis. Now, Jinku seeks to destroy them for that sin.

In "Metamorphosis," the Avengers face off against the menacing Jinku and his Avatar of Cha'Sa'Dra, plunging into a clash that tests their strength and resolve. When the battle reaches its peak, the once-still Lava Men—long frozen in stone—awaken, transformed into radiant golden-skinned warriors, shifting the tide in unexpected ways. Gilgamesh, already bearing the weight of past conflicts, is left severely wounded as the dust settles.

In "Journey," the Avengers rush to Avengers Island after a devastating battle leaves Gilgamesh critically injured. With no cure in sight, they turn to the Eternal Sersi, and together they embark on a desperate journey to Olympia—the hidden sanctuary of the Eternals—to save one of their own.

In "Baptism of Fire!", Captain America and She-Hulk are overpowered and mind-controlled by the cunning Scarlet Witch and the enigmatic Jeremiah Random, forcing the Great Lakes Avengers—rallying behind Hawkeye and Mockingbird—to stand against their former allies. As the team fractures under pressure, Tigra struggles to hold onto her humanity, her feral instincts growing stronger with every passing moment.

In "Fragments of a Greater Darkness," the Avengers confront the enigmatic Master Pandemonium in a desperate bid to rescue Thomas and William from his grasp. As the battle unfolds, the cost of victory proves devastating when Agatha, heartbroken, erases her former pupils' memories of their children.

In "Avengers Assembled," Captain America rallies the Avengers West team and the reserve Avengers to confront an unexpected threat: Atlantean forces that have seized control of four U.S. military bases. With tensions rising and the nation’s defenses compromised, the team must unite swiftly to protect the homeland—before it's too late.

In "Gather Now Ye 7 Brides!", Ghaur manipulates his mind-controlled seven Brides of Set to collect powerful artifacts and perform a ritual to resurrect the ancient god Set. With the Avengers joined by Beast and the Thing, a desperate assault is launched to disrupt the ceremony before it's too late.

In the sun-baked hills of Baja, Mexico, Firebird intercepts a group of Attuma’s scouts fleeing from a clash in the Panama Canal Zone. With calm resolve, she convinces them that continuing the fight serves no purpose, and instead helps them repair their ship—sending them to Tahiti to wait out the war.

In "The Plan Proceeds!", the U-Foes fall into a cunning trap set by Loki as part of the larger "Acts of Vengeance" scheme, leading them to attack the West Coast Avengers. Meanwhile, Immortus quietly manipulates events with a deeper agenda involving the Scarlet Witch.

In "The Troubled Earth," the West Coast Avengers race to defend Los Angeles as Mole Man unleashes his monstrous forces. Wonder Man and the original Human Torch descend into the underground, where they face not just the villain’s traps but a deeper deception—one that challenges everything they thought they knew about the enemy’s motives. As the team unites to uncover a hidden threat, they realize someone is targeting them with a deadly precision.

In "The Breaking Strain," Magneto takes a desperate gamble, lifting the Avengers West Coast base into orbit in a bid to reach his comatose daughter. As the Acts of Vengeance unravel, the Avengers race to uncover Loki’s true hand in the chaos, while the Wasp returns to find Wanda lost to madness and two fallen allies in her wake.

In "Get Smart," a mysterious figure boosts Hydro Man’s intellect, turning his criminal ambitions into something far more dangerous. When the Avengers respond, they’re caught in a devastating explosion—leaving the team scattered and the city vulnerable.

In "Personal Magnetism," Magneto manipulates Quicksilver into confronting him, leading to a desperate flight across the country with his sister. As they seek refuge in California, the Avengers intercept them—only to uncover a deeper conspiracy orchestrated by Immortus, whose true hand lies behind the chaos and the Scarlet Witch’s sudden powers.
