Thunderbolts: Marvel's Most Wanted #[nn]

Abner Jenkins, a brilliant but overlooked mechanic, transforms himself into the armored menace known as The Beetle. When he crashes a double-date between Johnny Storm and Ben Grimm, the Human Torch and the Thing are left embarrassed—until the Beetle’s criminal ambitions at the NY World’s Fair force a showdown they didn’t see coming.

In a high-stakes showdown beneath Imperial Industries, Nick Fury and his team race to stop Imperial Hydra—Arnold Brown—from activating a city-wide detonation, only to find him paralyzed by guilt over his daughter’s fate. Meanwhile, the newly formed E.S.P. Division tests their Brainwave Stimulator on Fury, unaware their signal has drawn the attention of the dangerous telepath Mentallo, who sees in The Fixer a kindred spirit and a chance to seize control. With a rogue mind and a criminal mastermind joining forces, Fury must confront a threat that doesn’t just attack the body—but the mind itself.

In "Who Strikes at-- SHIELD?", Nick Fury faces a chilling threat when the rogue "Wild Bill" Robot goes off the rails, prompting a high-stakes investigation into the ESP Division's experimental "Encephalogram-Inducer." As Mentallo infiltrates The Fixer's underwater stronghold and convinces him to join forces, the duo launches a daring assault through the earth itself, breaching SHIELD HQ with a "Thru-The-Ground Tank" and disabling all communications with Jericho Tubes. With Fury trapped and the base under siege, the battle for control of SHIELD's secrets begins — but who's really pulling the strings?

In the wake of SHIELD HQ’s takeover by Mentallo and The Fixer, Nick Fury lies imprisoned while Dum Dum Dugan and his team prepare a daring counterstrike. With Tony Stark commanding the tech team and the ESP Division struggling to locate Fury’s mind, a desperate gambit unfolds—Fury’s sudden recitation of an old war song becomes the signal that triggers the rescue. As the Neutralizer disarms a hidden H-bomb and the Metronome Unit moves in, the true extent of Fury’s plan begins to unravel. But as victory seems within reach, a mysterious golden egg descends from the sky, and the final shot reveals a jet fleeing the Heli-Carrier—only to be brought down in flames.

In "The Bitter Taste of Defeat!", Enchantress manipulates Zemo’s old machine to transform one of his former allies into a twisted echo of Power Man, using the impostor to exploit the Avengers’ fractures and sow chaos. With the team’s unity crumbling under pressure, the City Council moves to dissolve them—leaving the heroes questioning not just their future, but whether they can still be trusted to protect the city they’ve sworn to defend.

In "The Road Back," Hawkeye, Quicksilver, and Scarlet Witch—once Avengers, now outcast—find themselves pulled into the Ringmaster’s Circus after being blackmailed into a job they never wanted. With their reputations on the line and the law closing in, the trio must outrun both the police and their own pasts, while Captain America works alone to expose a conspiracy that could either clear their names or end their legacy for good.
