File:Champions Vol 1 14 001.jpg

Description
Iceman dons a new costume, as well as a new attitude, but soon he and Hercules find themselves being attacked by their own headquarters! Instruments usually used for defense come to life somehow and engage the two members of the Champions in battle, including the abandoned Rampage armor. Meanwhile, Black Widow, Darkstar and Ghost Rider are saying goodbye to Ivan Petrovich, who is returning to Russia, but once inside his quarters aboard the ship, Ivan finds himself confronted by armed men. Nearby on the dock, a man carries a briefcase, intending to get it to the authorities, unaware he is being watched by a strange being. Black Widow, Darkstar and Ghost Rider suddenly find themselves attacked by giant mechanoid bees. Ghost Rider finds himself stung by one of the bees, but Darkstar rescues him, though he is very ungrateful. When Darkstar questions him about this, he doesn’t answer her, but thinks to himself that he hates her because the others accepted her immediately, but they have not accepted him. The man with the briefcase is then attacked by the mysterious cloaked figure, though the attacker cannot take the briefcase as there is some repellent on it. He departs, and the remaining mechanoid bees follow him. The Champions soon find the little man, stung to death. Black Widow locates his wallet and discovers that he is an Interpol agent. Back at Headquarters, Iceman manages to shut down the power, thus turning off the computer system and preventing anything else from attacking he and Hercules. He then discovers that the HQ was built with faulty materials. The Black Widow, Darkstar and Ghost Rider return home, and Iceman explains what has been going on - before Angel crashes in through a window, trying to escape danger - a massive swarm of killer bees, headed towards Champions HQ!
