In "Meglio Rosso Che Ronin," the mysterious Red Ronin arrives in New York City, triggering a high-stakes response from both the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D., led by Nick Fury aboard the relic Behemoth helicarrier. As the Behemoth, Captain America, and Iron Man struggle to contain the relentless robot, Fury devises a desperate plan to harness the ship’s power through Iron Man, aiming to disable Red Ronin by electrifying the Hudson River. But when the robot’s pilot, Dr. Cowan, remains unconscious, the machine awakens with a will of its own—continuing its rampage with no clear end in sight.

In "Scontro A Long Island," the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. face off against the rampaging Red Ronin, a once-loyal ally now out of control. As the battle rages across Long Island, the team struggles to disable the relentless machine—until Iron Man severs its weapon arm, only to find the robot still fighting. Inside, Jocasta and The Beast race against time to shut it down from within, knowing the final solution may lie not in force, but in a single, decisive act.

In "Pittsburgh, Addio!", Ken Connell, burdened by the power of the Star Brand, finds himself at a comic book convention in Pittsburgh—only to be confronted by the Old Man, who demands the artifact's return. After a devastating battle that claims thousands, the Old Man fuses with Connell, merging his memories and energy into the hero’s being. Guided by Myron Feldman, Connell attempts to rid himself of the Star Brand by flying into space and attaching it to a barbell, but a miscalculation leads to a catastrophic explosion that obliterates Pittsburgh and its surroundings.

In "Voglio I Miei X-Men!", Mojo, ever the self-styled impresario, scrambles to replace his fallen stars after the Fall of the Mutants, settling on a surprisingly youthful lineup: the X-Babies. With Major-Domo overseeing the chaos and Ricochet Rita adding her own brand of unpredictability, Mojo’s grand spectacle begins—but can even his twisted vision hold together when the stars are still learning to fly?
