Synopsis

The heroes and villains engage in their first battle of the Secret War and the heroes win and take prisoners. Doom uses the time the villains are engaged to invade their base and revive Ultron to do his bidding. When the remaining villains return, they find Doom waiting and grudgingly agree to let him be their leader. The heroes find a base of their own only to have it invaded by Magneto who makes off with the Wasp. The Thing reverts to his human form of Ben Grimm.
