He will also fire at the hero pursuing him. There will be civilians around the subway station, who are properly alarmed and mill about in fright.

The Avengers immediately recognize the baddies as the , Lightspeed, , Darkflame, Powerhouse, and Audio. Once out of the car, the limo speeds away. Any attempt to stop the car will be hindered by a costumed villain, but even if the car is stopped, the heroes will find only a hired thug driving. The costumed villains have orders from the Maggia to eliminate the Avengers as a thorn in their side; they plan to eliminate the heroes as effectively as possible. However, if things do not go as they plant, they are adaptable and will try a different ploy, as given below. The villains’ plan is to fight one or more of the heroes as follows:  Bulldozer, while he will fight anyone, is especially meant to keep Thor, She-Hulk, and Wonder Man busy.  Lightspeed; he is there especially to keep Black Panther busy.  Darkflame; her primary job is to roast the Beast, , Black Widow, and the Black Panther (though not necessarily in that order).  The Scorpion; he goes after Captain America immediately. Having fought the shield slinger before, he lusts for revenge as to most good villains.

The second form is his paralyzing touch.  Zephyr; he usually creates strong winds to batter down structures and toss people around. He plans to use this power to relieve Captain America of his shield the first time he throws it. Other ploys are to create vacuums between heroes so they can’t communicate.  Batroc; what a surprise, he has managed to escape somehow. He will take on any hero except for Thor. Captain America is probably his first choice for an opponent.  Kalvak the Conjuror; he is the leader of the group and will be the first one to run. He carries the key which will open the locker, but will not use it as the contents of the locker must be saved until the Supreme Leader says otherwise. Kalvak’s standard line of attack is to set up the appropriate shields and defenses first, and then attack the heroes with mystic bolts of energy.

Any heroes who are seriously arrives anyway.
