After the duel of Harlem, Bruce Banner fled America, leaving Betty Ross behind for her
own safety, and changed his focus from suppressing his anger to controlling it, so the transformations
would occur only when he desired them. By 2011 he'd left North America, hoping to
disappear from the detection of those who might wish his capture.
With the bifrost gone following Thor's battle with Loki, the Asgardians were no longer able
to maintain the peace, and many of the nine realms started to descend into chaos and war.
Back on Earth, James Rhodes worked out a deal with the American government to allow Tony
Stark to keep all his technology so long as War Machine remained on loan to the Department
of Defense. But Tony knew the armor his friend was wearing was not designed for his body,
and so he built a new suit specifically for Rhodes, so that War Machine could go out to
help the people of the world, while he remained in New York working on his new projects like
the construction of Stark Tower to be powered entirely by the arc reactor.
War Machine then focuses much of his attention of defeating terrorist cells around the world
which he later learned were members of Ten Rings.
In the Arctic, Shield recovered the body of Steve Rogers, discovering that he was cryogenically
preserved in the ice and worked to revive him, preparing a set with familiar surroundings
for him in New York city, while they continued to research all of the new technology being
made available through contact with other worlds. As part of Project PEGASUS, they sent
Dr. Eric Selvig to the Joint Dark Energy Mission Facility in the Mojave Desert, to study the
Tesseract, and there was joined by Hawk Eye, assigned to protect the item and keep an eye
on the doctor. Steve Rogers awoke and was immediately suspicious
of his surroundings when he heard a baseball game on the radio which was a repeat of one
he attended. When he became hostile SHIELD agents tried to contain him but he escaped
the set and ran into the streets of New York, where he realized everything had changed.
Nick Fury then found him and explained he'd been asleep for nearly 70 years, sending him
to stay at a cabin in the woods they called the retreat, while he settled into his new
reality. In 2012, Joseph and Lucy Bauer found the Darkhold,
a powerful book of spells created in the Hell dimension, a place of darkness beyond the
Earth Plane. Black Widow was sent on a mission to Russia
where she foiled a plan to destabilize world peace by setting off a missile on the border
with North Korea. After years of research, Aldrich Killian was
having some success using experimenting with Extremis to turn disable veterans into loyal
super soldiers. However when Chad Davis, one of the soldiers using to the substance died
in an explosion that killed several others, Aldrich Killian decided to spin the situation
into his favour, hiring an actor named Trevor Slattery to pose as the Manderin, leader of
the Ten Rings terrorist organization. After another explosion caused by one of the soldiers
addicted to the substance receiving an extra high dose, the fake Manderin took responsibility.
By blaming the bombings on Ten Rings, Killian could deflect attention away from his involvement
and profit from a heightened sense of danger by creating super soldiers for the government's
war on terrorism. Using the Darkhold to make incredible scientific
discoveries, the Bauers brought in several of their colleagues from Momentom Labs and
built a Quantum Particle generator able to create matter from nothing. Learning about
the book behind their discoveries, one of the scientists, Eli Morrow became concerned
and grew obsessed with it, prompting Joseph to hire the 5th street Locos to end the problem.
Seeing Eli's car in driving down the street, the gang attacked, however it was actually
Eli's nephews in the vehicle, causing an accident that kill Robey Reyes, and crippled
his young brother Gabe. Yet just before his death, Robey heard a voice asking him if he
wished to have another chance at life, and take vengeance against those who'd harmed
him, he eagerly said yes. The voice belonged to the spirit of vengeance
whic the a h had escaped from the hell dimension and now embodied those who had been wronged,
turning them into the Ghost Rider, unleashing his fury against the wicked. After embodying
Jonny Blaze for some time, the spirit found Robbie Reyes and when he accepted the deal,
Ghost Rider saved his brother before transferring the spirit of vengeance into the new host.
Eli Morrow, furious over what happened to his nephews, beat Joseph Bouer into a coma,
and used the Quantum Particle generator to turn all the other scientists into spirits,
trapping them away in special boxes. Eli was then arrested and jailed for attempted manslaughter
against Joseph Bauer. Far from the earth, sitting on his throne,
the Titan Thanos, one of the most powerful beings in the Universe, learned that the tesseract
was on Earth, eager to get his hands on the space stone within. Already he had the Mind
Stone in his possession, and ruled over a region of space, controlling a vast army of
Chitauri, yet he desired more power and wished to collect all six infinity stones, to enact
his plan for reshaping the universe. And so he made a deal with Loki of Asgard, and provided
him a Sceptor powered by the mind stone, sending him to retrieve the tesseract and in exchange
offering the chitauri as his army to conquer the planet. Thanos would get the Stones and
Loki would rule as King of Earth. Using the Sceptor, he was able to activate
the Tesseract and transport himself to its location. Arriving in the Joint Dark Energy
Mission Facility, he destroyed Project Pegasus, killing a number SHIELD agents and taking
control of the minds of others, including Dr. Selvig and Hawk Eye. Now under Loki's
direct control, Hawk Eye shot Director Fury, before they took the tesseract and departed.
Back on Asgard, Frigga sensed her son Loki was still alive, informing Odin and Thor.
Although the project was abandoned soon after it was started in favour of a weapons development
program, Nick Fury, having survived the encounter with Loki, reactivated the Avengers Initiative,
gathering together the prospective agents and super beings they had considered. Fury
sent Phil Coulson to call in Black Widow who was hesitant to abandon her current mission,
but did so at once when she heard Hawk Eye was in danger.
Coulson then went to contact Tony Stark while Natasha Romonov was sent to retrieve Bruce
Banner in India and Director Fury spoke with Steve Rogers. Soon nearly all were gathered
together, meeting on a SHIELD Helicarrier to discuss the mission. Tony Stark remained
behind going over the information left by Coulson and would soon join them, however
War Machine was unable to help as he was busy fighting terrorists on the other side of the world.
