New Thunderbolts #1
This trade paperback collects the first story arc of the 2005 New Thunderbolts series, which follows a revamped team of reformed supervillains and government operatives under the leadership of Baron Strucker. The volume introduces a lineup including Songbird, Atlas, Speed Demon, and Radioactive Man, as they navigate their uneasy alliance and face threats that test their loyalties. Key characters like Captain America and Spider-Man make appearances, setting the stage for the team's complex dynamics in the post-Avengers Disassembled Marvel landscape.
In "One Step Forward...", Abner Jenkins takes the lead on a new Thunderbolts team, striving to prove that even former villains can change—but not everyone is convinced. With Blizzard eager to join and Songbird hesitant, the team faces off against Fathom Five, where a shocking moment involving Atlas and Captain Marvel leaves the future uncertain. Abner’s journey takes a darker turn when he meets his mysterious benefactor: Baron Strucker of Hydra. Written by Kurt Busiek and Fabian Nicieza, with art by Tom Grummett and cover by Tom Grummett, this 2005 issue sets a tense, morally complex tone for the team’s next chapter.
In "One Step Forward...", Abner Jenkins leads a new Thunderbolts roster still finding its footing, with Blizzard eager to join and Songbird hesitant to commit. After a brutal clash with Fathom Five leaves Captain Marvel seemingly dead, Abner’s public mission for redemption collides with a hidden agenda when he meets secretly with Baron Strucker of Hydra.
In "Heavy Burdens," the Thunderbolts race against time to save the UN building from collapse, aided by an unlikely duo: Spider-Man and Radioactive Man. As Joystick and Radioactive Man officially join the team, Baron Strucker receives a surprising visitor— the Swordsman— setting the stage for shifting loyalties.
