The New Avengers (Stinger, Speedball, Mainframe, Thunderstrike, J2, Jubilee)
By Ron Frenz
Plot -
Kevin Masterson, son of the late hero Thunderstrike, came to the Avengers Mansion, now a
museum, on his eighteenth birthday. There, Edwin Jarvis, chief of the mansion's staff,
gives Kevin his father's Thunderstrike mace. But as Kevin begins to leave the mansion, he
is attacked by a group of Asgardian trolls. Jarvis signals the alarm, with former
Avengers, Jubilee, Jolt, and Speedball showing up. Stinger, the ex-Ant-Man's daughter,
shows up, and the mysterious Mainframe appears. Then, the newbie hero J2 shows up to
protect Kevin from the trolls. The trolls are about to be defeated when their master, the
evil Asgardian god Loki, kidnaps the heroes and brings them to Asgard. Loki plans on using
the Thunderstrike mace to further his plans to conquer Asgard, but Kevin escapes from the
guards and grabs the mace from its prison. Kevin is transformed into the Thunderstrike,
with the mace absorbed into him. The trolls and Loki attack, but the new Avengers have an
ally, the new lord of Asgard, Thor! Thor stops his evil brother and sends the Avengers
home. There, Jubilee, Jolt, and Speedball decide to leave things with the newbies, leaving
J2, Stinger, Mainframe, and Thunderstrike as the next generation of Avengers!
