ORIGINAL AVENGER HANK PYM

FOUNDED THE AVENGERS ACADEMY

TO HELP GUIDE THE NEXT GENERATION

OF SUPERHUMANS IN THE NOBLE

TRADITION OF EARTHS MIGHTIEST

HEROES. THE INAUGURAL CLASS WHO

WERE PREVIOUSLY RECRUITED AND

TORTURED BY NORMAN OSBORN HASSECRETLY LEARNED THE SHOCKING

TRUTH: THEY WERE NOT SELECTED

BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE GREATEST

POTENTIAL TO BECOME HEROES...BUT

BECAUSE THEY WERE MOST AT RISK

TO BECOME VILLAINS.

A TIME OF UNCERTAINTY AND FEAR

GRIPS THE WORLD. SIN, THE DAUGHTER

OF THE RED SKULL, HAS UNLEASHED

AN ANCIENT EVIL INTO THE WORLD: THEFORGOTTEN ASGARDIAN KNOWN ONLY

AS THE SERPENT, WHO HAS SUMMONED

HIS WORTHY, CAUSING SEVEN CELESTIAL

HAMMERS TO FALL FROM THE SKIES.

PYM WAS DEPLOYED TO DUBAI TO

FIGHT THE ABSORBING MAN AND

TITANIA, EACH OF WHOM HAS TAKEN UP

HAMMERS AS THE SERPENTS WORTHY.

JUST BEFORE COLLAPSING FROM HIS

INJURIES, PYM FORCED THEM BOTH

THROUGH A PORTAL TO THE ARCTIC

CIRCLE, HOPING TO BUY TIME.

MEANWHILE, THE STUDENTS WERE

CALLED TO DEFEND WASHINGTON,

D.C. FROM THE ATTACKS OF SIN AND

HER ARMY OF MECHANIZED SOLDIERS,

THE FIRST WORLDWIDE THREAT TO

TEST THEIR NEW AVENGERS TRAINING.

ALREADY, METTLE AND VEIL HAVE KILLED

ENEMY SOLDIERS IN ACTION AND THE

FULL EFFECT ON THEIR PSYCHES HAS

NOT YET SHOWN ITSELF
