Marvel Origins #42
In "Einmal Rächer …", Janet Van Dyne finds herself caught between two threats when she intercepts a deadly plot orchestrated by Attuma, who uses a tidal amplifier to trigger earthquakes and aims to flood the surface world. With Namor’s actions as a distraction, and the real danger coming from beneath the waves, Janet must use her wits and the communicator to alert the Avengers before it’s too late. Written by Stan Lee and Michael Strittmatter, with art by Don Heck and inks by Frankie Ray, this 2025 issue features a cover by Jack Kirby and Frank Giacoia.
In "Einmal Rächer ...," Kang watches as Steve Rogers—no longer a Avenger—stands powerless while the remaining team falls one by one to his superior tactics. When Cap finally arrives to intervene, he too is overpowered, leaving the future tyrant seemingly unstoppable.
In "Aus der Asche der Niederlage ...!", the Avengers join forces with Princess Ravonna to face Kang the Conqueror’s brutal invasion. Though Kang claims victory, his own forces turn on him, forcing him to unite with the very heroes he sought to destroy—now his only hope for survival.
In "Die Stimme von Wasp!", Janet Van Dyne takes flight after learning Namor may be heading for New York, only to be captured by Attuma—his long-time enemy, who's secretly behind the seismic chaos. With Attuma unaware of her identity, Wasp must use her wits and the communicator to warn the Avengers before his tide-powered plan floods the surface world.
In "Vier gegen die Flutwelle!", Hawkeye must rescue three captured Avengers after defeating Beetle at the Avengers' estate, while Captain America, Hawkeye, and Scarlet Witch fight desperately against Attuma beneath the rising tides—amid a global crisis as sea levels surge uncontrollably.
When the Collector abducts Wasp, Hank Pym must risk everything to save her—revealing his secret identity to the Avengers in a desperate bid for help. Now calling himself Goliath, he struggles with a dangerous new limitation: his size-shifting power now only works every fifteen minutes, pushing him to his physical and emotional limits. Together with the team, he races into the Collector’s trap, unaware of the full scale of the trap set for all the heroes.
