Main plot

Since the incident at Pleasant Hill, Captain America's past was rewritten by Red Skull's clone using the powers of Kobik. A flashback to 1945 reveals a meeting between Captain America and his Hydra mentor Kraken. They visit a chained-up Nostradamus who warns Captain America of an upcoming American plot to rewrite reality so that Hydra will lose the war and Rogers will become the symbol he has merely been pretending to be. In the present day as the Chitauri forces launch a massive attack on Earth, Steve Rogers is now head of S.H.I.E.L.D. where he is appointed head of Earth's defense forces during the assault. He dispatches Captain Marvel, the Ultimates, the Guardians of the Galaxy, Hyperion, and Quasar to intercept the Chitauri outside Earth's atmosphere as Riri Williams and the Tony Stark A.I. prepare an attempt to establish a planetary defense shield. At the same time, the Defenders members Luke Cage, Daredevil, Iron Fist, Jessica Jones, Spider-Woman, and Cloak and Dagger oppose an assault by various villains in protest of the events of Pleasant Hill. While Hyperion and Quasar are taken out of the battle by the Chitauri, Nitro explodes enough to defeat the Defenders. The villains disappear upon the Avenger Unity Division's arrival and the Chitauri starts heading towards the Earth. Just as the shield is brought online which stops the approaching Chitauri ship, Steve plays his hand and reveals his "true" allegiance to Hydra as Doctor Faustus's Helicarrier rams into the Helicarrier that Sharon Carter is on as Steve Rogers has them arrest her much to her horror. The shield leaves Danvers' forces trapped outside of Earth's atmosphere while those heroes in Manhattan are trapped in the Darkforce that was unleashed by Baron Helmut Zemo and Blackout. The Tony Stark A.I. sends a signal out to the other Avengers, the Champions, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, and the U.S.Avengers to meet Riri in Washington, D.C. as fast as they can.[2]
