Marvel Heroes #16

In the shadow of the Civil War, Doctor Carolina Washington begins a secret mission that pulls together blood samples from some of Earth’s mightiest heroes—Avengers, Secret Avengers, and others—under the guise of S.H.I.E.L.D. While Captain America, Iron Man, and the team regroup at Avengers Mansion, Washington’s actions set a dangerous chain in motion, linking the superhuman elite to a hidden agenda. The stakes rise as the line between protector and pawn blurs, and the true purpose behind the collection remains shrouded in silence.

In "Welcome, Students," the legacy of the Academy is tested as former students—Hazmat, Striker, Mettle, and Reptil—voice their concerns to the Avengers over recent changes. With Hawkeye now on faculty and Reptil’s identity in question, tensions rise when Jocasta is tragically killed, leaving the school’s future—and the truth behind the impostor—shrouded in mystery.
