The Black Widow (Natasha Romanoff) is driving a fancy car at high speeds, trying to escape from the carful of costumed gunmen chasing after her. As she goes cross-country through Central Park, we come across Ben and Alicia Masters taking a peaceful walk. Peaceful, at least, until the car chase catches them. Ben throws Alicia out of the way, and is hit by the Widow's car in the process. A dazed Black Widow stumbles towards the nearly unconscious Thing, and the gunmen shoot 'Tasha and load both 'Tasha and Ben into their helicopter and depart. Ben wakes on a medical table and immediately begins to trash the area, wanting to know where Alicia is. However, Agamemnon, the leader of the bad guys, arrives with a gun to the Black Widow's head, and so Ben surrenders. We quickly learn that Agamemnon leads the Sword of Judgement, a revolutionary group, and that they have the world's most powerful nuclear weapon, which they intend to detonate under the ocean creating a thousand foot high radioactive tidal wave. Ben and the Widow are then locked into a sealed room behind a force field, and left alone while the bad guys go to deploy their bomb...
