Summary[]
Kang the Conqueror comes from the 41st century to destroy Captain America, who he believes may soon cause his timeline cease to exist by the aftermath and the victory of World War II.
Synopsis[]
After a discussion about futurists, and newspapers, Captain America tells Tony that he needs to learn how to fight hand to hand, not with a suit of armor. As Captain America had observed that Stark did not know how to fight, and correctly guessed that he'd not know how to fight. At the Baxter Building, the home of the Fantastic Four, Thor, Wasp, & Ant-Man take Blizzard into Prison 42 and he is taken to his cell.
When taken into the new prison, Blizzard asks in a nervous voice if he had mentioned he was 'really, really sorry.' In Avengers Mansion, Hawkeye and Hulk sit down and gleefully get ready to watch Cap fight Tony of Boxing. The fight begins and Cap immediately knocks down Tony as Hawkeye and Hulk start to laugh. After several fails, Tony gives up and he says that this is the present and Cap reminds him that those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.
Kang appears out of nowhere and attacks the leaders. They call for back-up. In Prison 42, Wasp, Ant Man, & Thor get the alert and leave. Hulk, Hawkeye, and The Black Panther join the fight against Kang. The others soon arrive and Iron Man demands to know what he wants to eliminate Captain America. Kang says he will show them ten years into the future. They are in a barren waste land and he says that a war will wipe out the sun and everyone on Earth. Wasp asks what kind of war could do that and Kang says that there's a war between 2 alien empires: the Kree and the Skrulls. And he also says that ultimately, in the end, it was Captain America who destroyed everything by the aftermath of World War II that he and Bucky won with the Howling Commandos (including Nick Fury's father Jack Fury and the X-Man Wolverine) against the Red Skull, Baron Strucker, Baron Zemo and all Hydra soldiers. Tony refuses to hand over Cap and the Avengers start beginning the 1st final battle against Kang. Hulk gets him off of his chair and Iron Man hops on. He then discovers his chair is based on some tech from Stark Tech and controls it to get them back to the present. Cap tells Iron Man that Kang will be back for the next battle with his spaceships conquering Earth.
