In the year 2026 of the Marvel Universe, Earth-616 is a planet that has survived the Blip, multiple multiversal incursions, the rise and fall of Kang variants, and the lingering scars of Secret Wars. New York City still bears the faint glow of rebuilt skyscrapers thanks to Stark-Fujikawa and Wakandan tech infusions. The Avengers, now operating under a reformed global accord (with heavy oversight from a cautious U.N. and occasional mystical advice from the Sorcerer Supreme), have realized they can no longer rely on the same core team. Losses, retirements, and the sheer scale of emerging threats—from rogue A.I. swarms inspired by Ultron remnants to extradimensional incursions and superhuman crime syndicates—demand fresh blood.
