Description
A respite between adventures finds the Avengers beset with personal problems. Both the Swordsman and the Scarlet Witch worry that their romances may be endangered, as Mantis and the Vision seem to share a mutual attraction. Thor and Iron Man confer with a troubled Captain America, whose recent adventures have made him consider giving up his costumed identity, while the Black Panther is again torn between his duties as a ruler and his role as an Avenger. All reveries end, however, when Klaw and Solarr attack, trapping five Avengers and a foreign ambassador inside a bubble of solidified sound. Klaw's gigantic image warns that unless the Panther surrenders the Wakandan throne to him in one hour, one of his hostages will die at Solarr's hands. When Thor, Cap, and Iron Man fail to discover Klaw's actual whereabouts, T'Challa suddenly realizes that his arch-foe is in their midst, disguised as the ambassador, whom he quickly subdues. His power-source smashed, Klaw's bubble vanishes, and Solarr is also captured. In the wake of the brief battle, however, the Panther decides to return to his homeland, even as Cap decides to end his heroic career.
