Synopsis

Norman Osborn has saved Luke Cage from dying of a heart attack and sweetens the deal by promising that if he turns over the location of the Avengers, his wife and baby daughter will avoid prosecution. The Avengers gather a band of Luke's closest and most powerful friends and, while one team attacks Camp HAMMER as a diversion, the rest invade Norman's helicarrier and rescue Cage. Luke is reunited with his family and friends but little do they know that Norman has planted a bug in Cage's heart to track his location.
