The Vision has been reassembled thanks to the brilliance and hard work of Hank Pym. But complications remain. First, the Vision's appearance has changed due to the trauma his bio-synthetic skin suffered during his disassembly. And second, while Hank has restored the Vision's memories, he can't recreate the emotional attachment to them. For that the brain patterns of Simon Williams are needed. But when Wanda finds Simon and asks him to cooperate, he refuses. Then Wonder Man faces the wrath of the Scarlet Witch! Wow, the West Coast Avengers are approaching rock bottom. And the recent addition of the U.S. Agent is not helping.
