Plot Summary
As the Avengers take some time for training, tensions build between the Avengers and their long term house guest, Hercules. Behind the Bamboo Curtain, Black Widow arrives to deliver her stolen plans only to be thrown into the dreaded Psychotron. Back in New York, Goliath oversees the delivery of the infamous android, Dragon Man. Unbeknownst to the Avengers though, Dragon Man’s previous master, Diablo is lurking outside in order to reclaim his former henchman. Having created a distraction by turning a building to pure gold, Diablo is able to break into Goliath’s lab and reactivate Dragon Man. Although Goliath figured out Diablo’s plan, he arrives too late to stop events and is forced to confront the power android. Unfortunately, even Goliath’s mighty strength proves insufficient and he and Wasp are taken captive by Dragon Man, just as the rest of the Avengers arrive on scene, too late to save their teammates.
