The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes

Temporal transition is complete.

Navigation, probes, and weapons are being calibrated.

Cloaks are online.

We are undetectable to current technology.

What is the time?

Star charts are processing.

The chrono date is 0028241.423.

Very early 21st century.

Has the target been located?

Yes, lord Kang.

In this era, the location is known as New York City.

So it begins.

What's a futurist?

What do you mean?

Well, the newspaper calls you a futurist.

And unless you're into Italian art, I'm not entirely sure what that is.

Mmm, how to explain?

A futurist is someone who tries to predict the future,

or in my case, tries to create it.

I'm inventing technology for next century.

Trying to make the world a better place.

For instance, having news an information delivered

via wireless signals as opposed to a newspaper.

I like newspapers. For instance,

this one has a picture of you fighting Hydra.

And even from the picture,

anyone can see that you don't know how to fight.

What?

There's about 20 super-villains out there that would disagree with you.

Meet me in the training room in five minutes.

We've got work to do.

This is gonna be good.

Yup.

From what I've seen,

you're fighting style is to tackle people or to blast them.

If I had to guess,

I'd say that you've never been in an actual fight in your life.

- Well, I... I... - Punch me.

What? I'm not gonna...

Do it.

- Ow, what just happened? - Let's try that again.

My armor protects me, you know?

It would have taken you down before you even touched me.

And if the suit I was wearing couldn't handle you,

I've got four more that could.

You can't always count on your armor.

You have to be ready for anything.

That's the whole point.

I'm working to know exactly what's coming.

I'll know exactly what to be ready for.

These fantastic four as you call them,

they are mortal heroes as well?

Uh, they're more like explorers.

I think Reed said they were heading off to the earth's core today.

This isn't fair.

None of you could have taken me alone.

Man, you are a whiner.

You've been complaining ever since we caught you, Blizzard.

Which was really easy, by the way.

Where are you taking me?

What is this place?

It's, uh... well, honestly I'm not sure.

I haven't seen it yet.

Well, iron man, Reed Richards and I had a meeting after the breakout.

We brainstormed ideas to make the world a better place.

This was number 42.

Truthfully, friend Pym,

I do not think this will hold anybody.

Greetings, Dr. Pym.

Good morning, Ultron 5. We have a new guest for you.

This is Blizzard, he's awaiting trail.

Greetings, mister Gill, aka Blizzard.

May I call you Donald?

What? No.

What are you...

Oh, wow.

Did I mention that I was really, really sorry?

Well, I appreciate the lessons and the bruises,

but the world has changed, cap.

Life moves faster now than ever,

and it's only gonna get faster still.

I'm wired in to a worldwide network of computers and satellites.

The goal is to see danger before it gets here.

I'm getting ready for the future,

and working to get humanity there in one piece.

You're still used to the old ways of doing things.

They say those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

If the old ways include training and preparation,

then maybe you need to slow down a bit.

Uh, slow, uh, down?

I hear you talking, but the words don't make sense.

It's always a good idea to know some basics.

No matter what year it is, some things never change.

Huh?

Greetings, avengers.

I am Kang.

I have come from your future to deliver a message to Captain America.

Jarvis, initiate mansion defenses.

I don't care who you are, this ends now.

Okay, now I care who are.

You're armor is amusing.

Primitive, but amusing.

Now, where were we?

What realm be this?

We went over this at the mansion, Thor, remember?

The Negative Zone?

It's a universe comprised completely of anti-matter.

By placing the super-villain prison in the Negative Zone,

even if there is another mysterious breakout.

There's no where to break out to.

And what of these metal, uh, things?

They are the jailers?

Yes. Ultron is a robot that iron man and I designed together.

I've been mass producing them since the breakout

to act as wardens to 42.

How are you feeling today, Jerome?

Ultron can't be hurt, he can't be corrupted,

and I've programmed them to help rehabilitate the prisoners.

Pretty great, right?

That's a lot of Ultrons.

Hmm?

I think we should get back to earth... right now.

Jarvis, give me full analysis of Kang's armor and weapons.

Unable to analyze.

The alloys are impenetrable by armor systems.

What? What about his chair?

Error. No matching technology on file.

Extrapolating... error.

Unable to comprehend given current level of technology.

Who are you?

Why are you attacking the avengers?

Oh, not the avengers, Captain. You.

As for your questions,

I am Kang the conqueror.

I have come from the 41st century,

traveling to this backwater time period for one simple reason.

To eliminate you from the timeline.

Jarvis, full power to uni-beam.

That's not possible.

Stay focused.

Kang, you say you're from the future,

why would you want to take out Captain America?

To save the world.

Now, this is just some friendly advice,

I'd stay down if I were you.
