Description
With the Vision and the Scarlet Witch away on honeymoon, the Avengers' roster is reduced to three. Although Moondragon accepts their offer to join, they find no former members willing to return, until the Wasp accepts for herself and Yellowjacket. Undaunted, Hawkeye decides to use Dr. Doom's time machine to recruit the Black Knight from the 12th century, while the others put out a call for new applicants to meet at Yankee Stadium. The Beast, the former X-Man now mutated into a more animalistic form, arrives to apply, but his career resume is interrupted when the alien Stranger appears. Powerful hovering mines menace the heroes, and when they attempt to bypass them, the devices explode, knocking out first Thor, then Iron Man, then the Wasp. Finally, the Beast's agility enables him to run the deadly gauntlet and disarm the mines, whereupon the Stranger vanishes rather than continue the battle. The Avengers' mood is hardly victorious, however, as the injured Wasp lies near death.
