Hold on though, that's like jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire! Are the seven avengers ready to battle Zeus again? Wisely the crescent city avenger decides on a different course of action…diplomacy! And with great success the Sub-Mariner and Thor recruit Aphrodite, Athena, Apollo, and Hephaestus to their side!

Avengers Lineup: Black Knight, Captain America, Captain Marvel, Doctor Druid, She-Hulk, Sub-Mariner, and Thor.
