Description
While Thor and the Vision battle the stone monolith, actually an ancient alien being, Bloodhawk is seized by insanity and absconds with the totem. The Beast pursues him and recovers the artifact, then manages, with Thor's help, to return it to its rightful place atop the monolith, causing the giant to revert to a lifeless figure which Thor banishes into space with his hammer. When the Beast offers to introduce Bloodhawk to his former mentor, Prof. X, the winged mutant and his teacher return to New York with the teammates. Back at their mansion, meanwhile, the other six Avengers are now the Stinger's captives. When the team from Maura arrives, the Vision and the Beast are ambushed and defeated, and Thor is likewise about to fall victim to their foe when Bloodhawk intercepts the powerful vibratory shock intended to fell the Thunder God. The Avengers are freed and their teamwork quickly defeats the Stinger, but Bloodhawk's heroism costs him his life.
