MARVEL // DARK REIGN
Following the events of the 2008 storyline " Secret Invasion", Norman Osborn resigns as Director of Thunderbolts and disbands the team. Immediately afterward Osborn meets with the President and is given complete control of a new world peace-keeping organization, " H.A.M.M.E.R." (as S.H.I.E.L.D.'s viability had been deemed compromised by the massive Skrull infiltration). Tony Stark is removed as Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., due to his inability to stop the Skrulls and his unwillingness to give up the list of secret identities of every registered SHRA member. The Avengers and Fifty State Initiative become the Thunderbolts Initiative. Norman later meets in secret with Emma Frost, Doctor Doom, Loki, and the Hood about his plans for the new world order. Osborn offers the Cabal solidarity and the resources to accomplish their own agendas (mirroring those of the Illuminati). In return Osborn asks for their public support/registration, as well as cooperation fulfilling any request he may have of them. He also introduces them to a shadowy figure who will keep them in line if they plot to overthrow him. At the end of the meeting, Namor and Doctor Doom have a discussion of their own plans that have already been set in motion. Shortly afterward, Norman returns to Thunderbolts Mountain to oversee its shutdown. When confronted by an irate Andreas von Strucker about his action, Norman seizes his sword and murders him in a psychotic tantrum. Norman Osborn then throws Strucker out of a window, watching as the body tumbles down the mountainside. Norman realizes his psyche is not stable yet.
Meanwhile, the New Avengers ( Luke Cage, Spider-Man, Ronin, Wolverine) reunite having lost Echo and Doctor Strange but have gained the original Spider-Woman, Ms. Marvel, Mockingbird and the current Captain America. Iron Fist decides to quit, but then Luke Cage and Jessica Jones tell the team that they need to find his baby, so Iron Fist decides to stay. With the aid of the Fantastic Four, the team begins tracking down anyone who might have a lead on the Skrull-Edwin Jarvis. They finally find a Skrull posed as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent in a bar and interrogate her. Before she can reveal the location of the baby, a drunk S.H.I.E.L.D. agent shoots and kills her. Later on, it is revealed that Luke has gone to Norman Osborn for help and agrees to sign on with him in return for help in finding his baby. Norman Osborn manages to locate the Skrull-Jarvis and has Bullseye kill it. Luke Cage goes back on his deal with Norman Osborn and gives his child to Jessica Jones. The New Avengers later watch on television about Norman Osborn unvieling his Dark Avengers. Ronin refuses to stand for it and says that the true Avengers are going to get back at them for this.
Tony Stark is now seen as a coward and is hated by the public. His Extremis powers begin to fade and he becomes weaker. His company is handed over to Osborn, as well as his suits of armor. However, in order to protect his fellow superheroes from Osborn, he infects the Superhuman Registration Act database with a computer virus while keeping the only copy within his brain.
Now with the Dark Avengers parading the city, The Cabal in deep planning, The Hood's criminal empire still standing and the Thunderbolts being used as Norman's black ops team, who will bring the Dark Reign to an end? Or will it just continue to last...
That is where YOU come in.
