Dr. Demonicus has captured the Avengers West and raised a new island in the Pacific which he plans on ruling as a new continent. Hawkeye, USAgent, Spider-Woman and Sunfire show up to contest his rule and, with the help of Living Lightning who decides Demonicus is too brutal to work for, they free their teammates and mop up the Pacific Overlords. Just as victory seems imminent, the U.N. declares Demonica a recognized nation and the AWC are unceremoniously kicked off. On their flight back to the states, the team rearranges the roster.
