“...By Force of Mind!”

In "…By Force of Mind!", Captain America takes a bold step by limiting the Avengers to six members, prompting a chaotic audition at Avengers Mansion orchestrated by Moondragon. As a flood of heroes—ranging from former teammates to unexpected recruits like Tigra—arrive to prove their worth, tensions rise, and the team faces tough choices about who truly belongs. With Wonder Man stepping down, the Beast, Scarlet Witch, and Vision departing, and Jocasta leaving unaware of her special status, the roster reshapes in unexpected ways. Written by Jim Shooter and illustrated with dynamic precision by Gene Colan, with Dan Green’s inks and Bob Sharen’s colors bringing the action to life, this issue features a striking cover by Colan and Green.

Captain America decides to limit the team to six members. A large group of heroes are compelled by Moondragon to enter Avengers Mansion and audition so she can choose the roster. The heroes drive her away. Most of the heroes leave but Tigra requests to join and Yellowjacket returns full-time. Uncomfortable with the dangers of being a superhero, Wonder Man voluntarily leaves. The Beast, Scarlet Witch and Vision also leave. Feeling ignored, Jocasta leaves not knowing the team had decided to give her a special "substitute Avenger" status.
