Description
En route from Transia, the Avengers drop off Quicksilver in Attilan, where he learns he is about to become a father. The heroes' route home then takes them over the Soviet Union and, when a Russian airbase appears to be under attack, they land to lend assistance, despite getting a mixed reception from their Soviet hosts. A battle erupts in the base's nuclear power plant between the Avengers and a strange group of humanoids with the names and abilities of various elements: Vanadium, Phosphorus, Carbon, Radium, Chlorine, and Cobalt. The element-beings are intent on transforming captive humans into creatures like themselves until all the elements are represented and, when they capture the Falcon, they plan to add him to their number. His teammates regroup and rescue him, however, then smash the plant's fusion reactor, unleashing a stream of deadly plasma which destroys their foes. Barely escaping in time, the Avengers evade the distrustful Russian troops and rocket to safety.
