#50

Synopsis

Captain America and his Avengers team decide to take on Osborn's "official" Avengers and expose them for the crooks that they are. Spider-Woman tries to lure the "dark" Avengers into a trap but Norman has the last laugh as he sends the Hood and his criminal horde into battle against our heroes instead. After the team is forced to retreat in the face of overwhelming odds, Clint appears on television and reminds the American public that Norman Osborn has been a supervillain and an insane asylum patient in the past and asks if he is really one of the best men to lead the country.
