1. Ms. Marvel, you almost there?Copy !req
2. Almost. Almost.
And I'm here!Copy !req
3. I've got visual on our target.Copy !req
4. It's big, it's mean,
it's got three heads,Copy !req
5. and it's heading
for Times Square.Copy !req
6. Oh, no, you don't!Copy !req
7. Captain Marvel, where are you?Copy !req
8. Situation's fluid.
Stand by.Copy !req
9. Captain Marvel,
the others are in position.Copy !req
10. Where's Ms. Marvel?Copy !req
11. Relax, Black Panther.
She's right where I put her.Copy !req
12. This will not work.
Ant-Man! Wasp!Copy !req
13. Strategy B! Go!
What's Strategy B?Copy !req
14. Say hello
to Strategy B!Copy !req
15. Ant-Army,
assemble and attack!Copy !req
16. Whoa!Copy !req
17. Converting to high-density mode.Copy !req
18. Hold on, Avengers!
Wait! Vision, pull up!Copy !req
19. Look out!Copy !req
20. Very well, then.
Strategy C.Copy !req
21. I will do it myself.Copy !req
22. Never fear, mortal.Copy !req
23. Hercules, the Prince of Power,
is here!Copy !req
24. There are people inside.Copy !req
25. I'm okay. I'm okay.Copy !req
26. Good, because
we could use your help.Copy !req
27. Embiggen!Copy !req
28. Well, dog, do you planCopy !req
29. to blow your disgusting
breath at me, or—Copy !req
30. One for you, you, you,
you, you, and you!Copy !req
31. Wait for it.Copy !req
32. Ha! Yes!Copy !req
33. Sometimes the only way
to make a bad dog sit
is a good rap on the nose.Copy !req
34. Okay, I give up.
Who are you?Copy !req
35. I am Hercules,
Prince of Power,
Lion of Olympus,Copy !req
36. Greatest of the Argonauts!Copy !req
37. Huh! So Hercules
just happened to show upCopy !req
38. when we're getting
our butts handed to us
by a giant magic dog.Copy !req
39. Our butts would be fine
had you kept
to the original plan.Copy !req
40. Now see here.
I am Hercules, the—Copy !req
41. Yeah, yeah. We know.Copy !req
42. No plan survives contact
with the enemy.Copy !req
43. You changed my plan
before we could even try it.Copy !req
44. Let's everyone
take a deep breath.Copy !req
45. I don't mean to interrupt,
uh, whatever this is.Copy !req
46. But I've come
to find the Avengers.
Do you know where they are?Copy !req
47. We're them.
We're the Avengers.Copy !req
48. You're serious.
Ah, never mind.Copy !req
49. If you are the Avengers,
I must speak with your leader.Copy !req
50. That's me.
That is me.Copy !req
51. All right.
Let's try again.Copy !req
52. Which of you
speaks for the team?Copy !req
53. Me.Copy !req
54. Wonderful! My people
invented democracy.Copy !req
55. But you should know,
a team without a leader
is not a team.Copy !req
56. Fortunately, I am here
until you find one.Copy !req
57. Muscles has a point.
It is unseemlyCopy !req
58. to have this debate
in the middle of the street.Copy !req
59. Then it's settled.Copy !req
60. Lead the way, friends.Copy !req
61. Oh-ho-ho, this is fabulous!Copy !req
62. The larders are full,
the sparring room
is without equal,Copy !req
63. and the entertainment!Copy !req
64. I have never seen
this kind of wrestling before,Copy !req
65. but it's fantastic!Copy !req
66. Really? Huh.
I figured all this would be
a little low rent for you,Copy !req
67. coming from Olympus and all.Copy !req
68. Olympus has many wonders,
Rider of Ants.Copy !req
69. But for a lion such as myself,
it's only dull, gray stone.Copy !req
70. As I told Jason—Copy !req
71. Jason and the Argonauts Jason?Copy !req
72. We studied him in school.
Were you with him
when he fought the Kraken?Copy !req
73. Sure. Why not?Copy !req
74. Wow! A Kraken!Copy !req
75. Team meeting,
conference room.Copy !req
76. I'll attend the next one.Copy !req
77. The pro-wrestling
has my attention right now.Copy !req
78. Did you say,
"The next one"?Copy !req
79. Indeed.
I am joining the Avengers.Copy !req
80. Together, we shall make a team
to eclipse all others.Copy !req
81. Hercules—
the actual Hercules—
is gonna be an Avenger!Copy !req
82. Huzzah!Copy !req
83. Absolutely not.
Hercules must go.Copy !req
84. Analysis indicates Hercules
is in the same strength class
as Thor or the Hulk.Copy !req
85. The team could use
a big gun.Copy !req
86. But not a loose cannon.Copy !req
87. Hercules caused half
of the damage today.Copy !req
88. The monster did the damage.Copy !req
89. And if we're gonna face
things like that,
we can use a heavy hitter.Copy !req
90. Maybe we should vote on it?
We should not.Copy !req
91. This is a command decision,
and I am command.Copy !req
92. You think you're
in command here?Copy !req
93. I called the team together
in the first place.Copy !req
94. I'm a battle-tested leader.
I've clocked way more
combat hours than you.Copy !req
95. I am a king!Copy !req
96. Not to mention
the best tactician
and the highest intellect.Copy !req
97. Look, we're both qualified,
but someone has to
call the shots!Copy !req
98. It's not about
calling shots.Copy !req
99. I have plans for this team,
and Hercules is not in them!Copy !req
100. I don't get your problem
with the big guy.Copy !req
101. Why not give Hercules
a chance to prove himself?Copy !req
102. What is that?Copy !req
103. Vision, what's going on?Copy !req
104. Avengers! Hello again!Copy !req
105. A party.
To celebrate me
joining the team.Copy !req
106. This is not
how we do things.Copy !req
107. Avengers do not throw parties.Copy !req
108. What? Tony Stark
threw the best parties.
Why can't we party?Copy !req
109. That. That is precisely
why we cannot party.Copy !req
110. Fan out.
We need to figure out
exactly what we are up against.Copy !req
111. This is an unusual threat.Copy !req
112. Further analysis
is required.Copy !req
113. Giant snakes
are trying to eat us!Copy !req
114. Analysis over!Copy !req
115. Bug bomb special!
Bombs away!Copy !req
116. Oh, that's gotta—
Come on, man!Copy !req
117. Hey, don't eat Ant-Man.
You don't know where he's been.Copy !req
118. Thanks. Ew!Copy !req
119. Hey! Where's he going?Copy !req
120. This is making me seasick!Copy !req
121. I'm okay!Copy !req
122. Come on!Copy !req
123. Give me a soft, squishy target.Copy !req
124. That'll work!Copy !req
125. Yet another
strange monster.Copy !req
126. This one
with four heads.Copy !req
127. Not four!Copy !req
128. Eight!Copy !req
129. Fear not, Avengers!Copy !req
130. The Lion of Olympus is here!Copy !req
131. That was a monster
we call a Hydra.Copy !req
132. Beaten back
into the Stygian depths
by Hercules and the Avengers.Copy !req
133. Well, only one thing
left to do now.Copy !req
134. Our team
has got its Thor.Copy !req
135. I'm no Asgardian,
young Marvel.Copy !req
136. Thor is mighty, yes,
but his people are cold,Copy !req
137. grim, dull.Copy !req
138. Olympians are hot blooded,
zesty, full of—Copy !req
139. Dude, and you've got
your own Mjolnir.Copy !req
140. Don't be so grumpy.
You saw what he didCopy !req
141. to those monsters.
Does Hercules even care?Copy !req
142. Protecting Earth
and saving lives
is all a game to him.Copy !req
143. You don't know that.
When it comes
to the actual fight,Copy !req
144. Herc will—
Arm wrestle! Here! Now!Copy !req
145. Hercules versus Captain Marvel!Copy !req
146. You're gonna arm-wrestle me?
Then you're gonna lose, Muscles.Copy !req
147. Goin' down, Chuckles.Copy !req
148. I will be in the control center
trying to find a pattern
to these monster attacks.Copy !req
149. Whoa-ho-ho!Copy !req
150. Don't trouble yourself
with those beasts.Copy !req
151. That's why I'm here.
I'll take care of them
when they show.Copy !req
152. You can relax.
We have chips and salsa.Copy !req
153. "When they show"?Copy !req
154. Are there more
of these things coming?Copy !req
155. Aren't you listening to me?
I'll take care of it.Copy !req
156. Relax. Chips and salsa.Copy !req
157. Bah! You sound just like
my father, Zeus.Copy !req
158. I'm the Prince of Power.
You're but a stuffy mortal.Copy !req
159. We are not finished yet.Copy !req
160. Now tell me why you are hereCopy !req
161. and what these monsters
have to do with it.Copy !req
162. Ha! It has been too long since
I had a good wrestling bout.Copy !req
163. Now what?Copy !req
164. Thief! I know you're in there!Copy !req
165. Aw, crud.Copy !req
166. There you are!
Did you think you couldCopy !req
167. hide from me forever,
little brother?Copy !req
168. Oh.Copy !req
169. Hey there, brother.Copy !req
170. What brings you
to New York?Copy !req
171. Hercules' brother?
Which brother are you?Copy !req
172. Please be
one of the nice ones.Copy !req
173. I am Ares, Prince of War,Copy !req
174. Harbinger of Destruction,Copy !req
175. Bringer of Pain.Copy !req
176. So, kind of not nice.Copy !req
177. Go away, Ares!
The Mace of War is mine!Copy !req
178. So beat it back to Olympus
and leave me alone!Copy !req
179. I think not.Copy !req
180. No one steals from me.Copy !req
181. Especially not something
as powerful as the Mace of War.Copy !req
182. This has gone on
long enough, thief.Copy !req
183. Now steps aside, mortals.Copy !req
184. No.Copy !req
185. As much as I want
rid of Hercules,Copy !req
186. we cannot just hand him over.Copy !req
187. The return of the mace
is up for discussion,
but then—Copy !req
188. You will get no discussion!Copy !req
189. You will get only war!Copy !req
190. Bad Cerberus! Bad! Bad!Copy !req
191. Stop!Copy !req
192. Bad doggie! Heel! Down!Copy !req
193. Stay! Stay!Copy !req
194. Ow.Copy !req
195. These are the fabled
Avengers of Earth?Copy !req
196. Bah! You're nothing!Copy !req
197. Do not ever again meddle
in affairs beyond
your mortal grasp.Copy !req
198. Strange. Ares' portal
remains open.Copy !req
199. We can still rescue Hercules.Copy !req
200. I still am not convinced
we should be involved.Copy !req
201. This is Olympian business.
A little late for that.Copy !req
202. Besides,
it's Avengers business.
Hercules is one of us.Copy !req
203. Inviting himself
over to the mansion
makes him an Avenger?Copy !req
204. Not to mention,
he apparently
stole from Ares.Copy !req
205. My instincts tell me
something more is going on.Copy !req
206. Your instincts?Copy !req
207. We need informed
decision making
and leadership.Copy !req
208. Very well.Copy !req
209. Hercules may not
be an Avenger,Copy !req
210. but you are.Copy !req
211. We will try it
your way, Captain.Copy !req
212. For now.Copy !req
213. Whoa.Copy !req
214. Mount Olympus.Copy !req
215. Well, as magical paradises go,
it's not bad.Copy !req
216. What is this?Copy !req
217. Mortals, daring to set foot
in sacred OlympusCopy !req
218. without leave or invitation?Copy !req
219. Madness!Copy !req
220. We've got questions, Ares.Copy !req
221. What's so special
about that mace?Copy !req
222. And what are you planning
to do to Hercules?Copy !req
223. My brother is a thief.Copy !req
224. Stealing any of my weapons
would be crime enough,Copy !req
225. but this mace is the key
to opening Tartarus.Copy !req
226. Like so!Copy !req
227. Tartarus? What is...Copy !req
228. I called a handful of beasts
to find my brother.Copy !req
229. Now I call upon the thousand
beasts of the Underworld!Copy !req
230. That's why you left
the portal open.Copy !req
231. You're gonna send them
all to Earth!Copy !req
232. You Avengers
and the entire realm of EarthCopy !req
233. shall know my punishment.Copy !req
234. You shall know the wrath
of the Kraken!Copy !req
235. Go for its legs.Copy !req
236. Keep it from moving
to the portal!Copy !req
237. No, go high!Copy !req
238. Tie up its arms
so it can't attack!Copy !req
239. What are you doing?
We can't let it
get through to Earth.Copy !req
240. That's why we're supposed
to be fighting it!Copy !req
241. The mortals cannot win.Copy !req
242. The Kraken will destroy
your friends,Copy !req
243. then it will travel to Earth
and destroy it.Copy !req
244. A fitting punishment
for your disrespect, brother.Copy !req
245. Ares, I've had enough
of you, brother!Copy !req
246. Huh?Copy !req
247. Aah!Copy !req
248. Is this even working?Copy !req
249. It depends
on your definition
of "working."Copy !req
250. "Who is the leader"
can wait.Copy !req
251. We must solve
the immediate problem.Copy !req
252. We need to put down this Kraken
and close the hole.Copy !req
253. And we need to stop Ares.Copy !req
254. Field commander.Copy !req
255. Big Picture.Copy !req
256. Is that the best you—Copy !req
257. This will put an end to you,
brainless layabout!Copy !req
258. Thank you, friend Panther.Copy !req
259. Do not thank me just yet,
Hercules.Copy !req
260. Fools. I am Ares,Copy !req
261. winner of 10,000 battles,
the greatest warrior
of all time!Copy !req
262. Hey, Ares,
you like baseball?Copy !req
263. Then batter up!Copy !req
264. Captain Marvel would say
we need to fight smarter.Copy !req
265. We have to work together!
Over there.Copy !req
266. It's his Chest of War.Copy !req
267. Go for it.Copy !req
268. Aah!Copy !req
269. A real Kraken!Copy !req
270. My literature teacher's
never gonna believe this!Copy !req
271. Whoa!Copy !req
272. Aah!Copy !req
273. Vision, keep
its foot on lockdown.Copy !req
274. Ms. Marvel, get around
its other leg and turn it
back towards the pit.Copy !req
275. Ant-Man, Wasp,
go for the face.Copy !req
276. Try not to get eaten
this time.Copy !req
277. Oh, hey,
that gives me an idea.Copy !req
278. I'm going in.
You with me?Copy !req
279. Are you
out of your mind?Copy !req
280. Yes. And into his.Copy !req
281. Ugh! Ew!Copy !req
282. Oh, fine.Copy !req
283. Even if we get it
back in the pit,Copy !req
284. we can't lock the gates
without the mace.Copy !req
285. Great.Copy !req
286. Black Panther's got me thinking
big picture.Copy !req
287. Tired yet, brother?
You wish, brother!Copy !req
288. I'll see you suffer!Copy !req
289. You're always
so overly dramatic about—Copy !req
290. And then there was that time—Copy !req
291. What?
Game on.Copy !req
292. You see, brother?Copy !req
293. See how easy it was
to take it from you again?Copy !req
294. You never truly
appreciated its—Copy !req
295. Ooh!Copy !req
296. You think I need the mace
to destroy you?Copy !req
297. You think I need anything?Copy !req
298. I will end you
with my bare hands!Copy !req
299. Ooh!Copy !req
300. There you are, my beauty,Copy !req
301. back where you belong.Copy !req
302. Shame about all this ruckus,
but now we should...Copy !req
303. Were you really
just gonna stroll off?Copy !req
304. Not very Avengery, Herc.Copy !req
305. Now, now, young Marvel.
It's not what it appears.Copy !req
306. Captain Marvel sent me
for the mace.Copy !req
307. Now, you're gonna give it to me,
then you're gonna go back
and help Black Panther.Copy !req
308. You hear me?
Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
309. Didn't realize this thing
was so heavy.Copy !req
310. Bravery is nothing.
Loyalty is nothing.Copy !req
311. Strength is nothing.Copy !req
312. You may be skilled, mortal,
but you could never defeat Ares.Copy !req
313. To be a true—Copy !req
314. Aahh!Copy !req
315. Will you shut up?Copy !req
316. This is all my fault.Copy !req
317. You do not have to
fight my battle.Copy !req
318. Avengers do things as one.
We assemble.Copy !req
319. You are quite the warrior,
friend Panther.Copy !req
320. Hmm? Hmm.Copy !req
321. Let's never do that again!Copy !req
322. Kamala, get that mace over here!Copy !req
323. We can't hold them much longer!Copy !req
324. Hercules!Copy !req
325. Have a nice trip, Ares!Copy !req
326. Avengers, now!Copy !req
327. Let me out of here!Copy !req
328. Noooo!Copy !req
329. I'm sensing
a little hatchet burying
happened back there.Copy !req
330. We are not best friends yet,
but we could be teammates,Copy !req
331. if Hercules wishes
to join the Avengers.Copy !req
332. Perhaps someday.Copy !req
333. I still have much to learn
about responsibilityCopy !req
334. and being a true hero.Copy !req
335. But when I am ready to join,
I will seek out your leader.Copy !req
336. Er, whichever of you it is.Copy !req
337. Yes, well, we never
did settle that, did we?Copy !req
338. Isn't it obvious?
You're both leaders.Copy !req
339. Panther's the general.Copy !req
340. And Captain Marvel
is the field commander.Copy !req
341. Works for me.Copy !req
342. If Captain America
and Iron ManCopy !req
343. could figure out
how to work in concert,
we can too.Copy !req
344. Quiet, everybody.
Vision, vote count.Copy !req
345. One vote for pizza,
two votes for sushi,Copy !req
346. two votes for giant-sized
super burritos.Copy !req
347. And I, of course,
abstain,Copy !req
348. because I do not eat.Copy !req
349. I vote for Greek.Copy !req
350. There is a lovely restaurant
only five blocks—Copy !req
351. Don't you have
something to finish?Copy !req
352. Uhh...Copy !req
353. It's a good thing I was here
to clean up this mess.Copy !req
354. What would the Avengers
do without me?Copy !req
