"Prometheus Mutans!" Part 11 of the Evolutionary War storyline. Script by Walt Simonson. Pencils by Mark Bright. Inks by Mike Gustovich and Valerie Gustovich. Cover by Sal Buscema. Story continues from Spectacular Spider-Man Annual 8. The High Evolutionary puts the final touches on his master plan to send mankind back to the beginning! While preparing for the final stage, the purifiers reconstruct Jocasta inside a former Stark International plant. However, the Avengers' former member briefly escapes and sends a desperate call for help to Avengers headquarters on Hydro-Base. But due to ongoing events in the Avengers title, no one from the active roster is home! So the call goes out to the reserve avengers! A very diverse group responds including: The Captain, Falcon, Beast, Hulk, Hercules and the second Yellowjacket! This assorted collection of super-heroes begins a globe-hopping journey to stop the High Evolutionary's genetic bomb! After rescuing Jocasta in Long Island, the Avengers plunge into the depths of the Pacific Ocean to locate Lemuria! Earth's Mightiest Heroes successfully find Kro's undersea kingdom, but also discover Attuma and his Atlantean forces attacking it! Fortunately, the Captain convinces both leaders to stop fighting and join the search for the master geneticist's underwater base! When the seven heroes finally chase down the High Evolutionary (and his genetic bomb) near the volcanic island of Krakatoa, time has almost run out! Inside the genesis chamber, the Avengers battle the High Evolutionary for the life of the world! Can the Prince of Power, Steve Rogers, Sam Wilson, and Hank McCoy dash this demigod's dream of destiny? Or will the High Evolutionary succeed in taking mankind from madness to mud…and back again? Backup story: "Beyond Life" Script by Mark Gruenwald. Art by Ron Lim and Tony DeZuniga.

The crossover plot involving the Hulk continues from Incredible Hulk 350.) 68 pages Cover price $1.75.
