Description
What appears to be a meteor touches down in Brooklyn's Jamaica Bay, then transforms into a massive stone creature which makes its way toward Manhattan. Elsewhere, the Avengers hope to end their problems with the National Security Council by appearing at a special Senate hearing into the issue of their continued priority status. Before Henry Gyrich can call more than a single witness against them, however, the heroes are forced to leave to deal with the stone monster's threat. Joined by Daredevil, they batter the mysterious creature until, to their surprise, it shatters into a pile of stone fragments. As Iron Man and Daredevil move in to investigate, they are abruptly turned to stone, and the remaining Avengers find themselves facing the new menace rising from the rubble, the Grey Gargoyle.
