Description
Libra tells the Avengers how, as Gustav Brandt, a mercenary soldier In Viet Nam, he had married the sister of Monsieur Khruul, leader of the Saigon underworld and the Swordsman's former employer. When the bigoted Khruul attempted to have the couple killed, a blinded Brandt and his newborn daughter found refuge with the Priests of Pama, who taught him to function without his sight, while instructing his daughter in the martial arts. Brandt eventually left their temple and became the criminal Libra. Mantis believes none of this and angrily attacks Libra, but the wounded Swordsman takes advantage of the others' distraction to appropriate a quinjet and fly to Viet Nam, intent on vengeance. 8y the time his teammates catch up with him, Khruul's men have already beaten him and tortured him into revealing the location of the priests' temple. The Avengers arrive at the temple to find the priests murdered. They then defeat Khruul's men, only to discover the gangster chief himself slaughtered by an unknown menace.
